Not to hijack but what is the cost for a non resident? do you know?

I've only seem them in the white mountains & Kiabab, My dad couldn't stop laughing when I came back from a hike saying I saw pigeons walking around. (I was younger)

Be careful with some of those game bags though. They can leave a residue on your meat sometimes if they are old or just poor quality. Freezing meat drys the meat out as it pushes the moisture out of the flesh. I have a buddy who hangs his meat in black/plastic garden netting in a shed. He lets his all his game (that isn't made into sausage or jerky) age like a butcher would for a while. To ME everything tastes the same with BBQ sauce but I will admit his steaks (regardless of the species) are always more tender and moist than mine.

+1 to the bugs. Realistically it can sit there for a LONG time as long as it is not too hot or in direct sun light. I had my latest kill in a field dressing bag/game bag for 7 hours. (4 during cleaning/hiking out & 3 on the drive home). It doesn't hurt it at all just keep it dry and cool and you are fine. If it is out of the heat meat can literally hang until it drys out on its own.

dang that a lot of tags to fill that quick. great job!

great hunt and great pics guys!!! Awesome Coues right here and even better memories.

Awesome job guys!

+1 to all the well wishes

Call bear mountain sports. They'll get it all ready for you all you do is show up, fill out the paperwork and pick up the gun. Never takes me more than 15 min either. They got that gun in stock and gives you a lifetime warranty in addition to the manufacturer warranty.

These gun set ups are awesome. first coues....it looks like you got in a bar fight with that monkey! Is it a baboon?

Sounds like one heck of a hunt! Congrats What rifle/bullet were you using?

Great write up. That is such a neat experience that you go to share with your wife and baby. Its the memories that make a trophy buck in my opinion...not inches. Thanks for sharing, Congrats

Sorry to hear that. Good luck to the both of you. Make the investment and buy a lifetime license if you want to hunt here later on.
