Interesting. I just hunted Unit 10 for the first time. Absolutely beautiful! It was a cow tag hunt. We were following a herd before the hunt and saw them on a few occasions with a herd bull, but they quickly disappeared on the hunt and we couldn't connect. I was thinking cow hunt, should be easy, but wow was suprised how hard of a hunt it was. We spotted several bulls, along with several mule deer bucks and does, and at least two different herds of javelina. I figured typical hunt. You spot everything you're hunting for, and the cow elks know they are being hunted. Spotted some cows bedded down, but realized definitely need to improve my glassing on bedded down animals. (I tell myself that every year!) I was really wishing I had a bull tag. I'm not even a random sample, just one group of four hunters. But seems in line with what we saw in the grand scheme of this recommendation. Of course, much I don't know, so I won't draw conclusions without facts and history, which I'm sure alot more of you guys could offer up. If this is truly the case or not. Despite not filling my tag, which was a huge goal of mine and I didn't think I'd come home empty handed, nor did any of the guys I was with, we had a great time spotting all the game. We worked VERY hard but just weren't lucky. Lonne

Great video. This is it

Sweet buck. Nice photos. I'd love to get one in velvet especially on the Strip.

Same here, let's see the second! Way to go Adam...let's hear a good story :-) I hear the taxidermy cash register adding up ka-ching ka-ching getting Clarence his wings...Will order up more mannequins

Buy a pair. Then count the years you had 'em. Lonne

Dang! I bet that is gonna be a blast! Too bad I got something else going on :-(

Interesting. Re-posting that here. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/36422-you-be-the-judge/ Everyone down there has seen some crazy stuff. We found some scout camps on ridges, smuggler camps in deep "can't see from above" thick brushed canyons. Ran into a group going heading north through the canyon into wilderness while we were heading south back towards roads and camp at dark. Had a stand off, and long story short myself and the friend I was hunting with - we decided the standoff wasn't worth losing, we were probably outgunned, and we might think twice while they wouldn't, and climbed out of the very steep canyon with a nice dose of adrenaline where a fall wouldn't have been pretty. Amazing what you can do with adrenaline flowing. Last year we were hiking through the hills at night on the way back to camp and border patrol pulled into our camp and started asking questions, sounded like someone called the border patrol on us.

idgaf, Tell us more.

Seen some black king and red racer snakes at 7000 ft, but only timber rattlers at 6000 feet. Wow, 9000 feet?

Sweet bear, great job

Thanks for posting. Never forget. And too many have forgotten already.

Definitely that doesn't happen alot. :-) Awesome...!

Super fly ! Awesome...way to go !!!

Mmmmmm...birria

That's totally awesome James! Good ending to a bad start. Some people have a lot of nerve. They'll get what's coming eventually.

Yep, lots of people hike/hunt in there.

I think the tags track the Dow. LOL. I've seen them diminish faster and demand grow every year for about 5 years. It seemed like when the economy was in bad shape you could just go to an AZGFD office and pick up one for any unit you wanted. Now, you've gotta move fast if you want one.

Sorry y'all missed it. I can definitely identify with missing it b/c of work :-) Hopefully there will be more down the road. A gentlemen that's a member of the club grinds knives for raffles and members. Probably couestracker could tell us more. I'm not a member of the club so don't know much, and I live kind of far, but it looks like an awesome club to be a part of.

Looks like someone made a great shot!

It was really awesome. I thought the addiction part of it was especially relevant. Good info on finding good habitat and calling hard! Thanks to PVCI for holding it, looks like a really fun group! That guy Eddy was pretty cool too, and now, is there anyone who attended that doesn't now want one of those special knives? :-)

Cool pics!

It's ridiculous. More and more roads, they're just going to keep paving. People gonna keep building fancy houses here, fancy houses there...people will argue we're not encroaching on wilderness, but then how do you explain giant cities and how they got there today?

Almost every prickly pear I look at in August always seems to be ripe. Picking it and eating it is fun, but I always have cactus spines in my hands for a week. Wonder what the bears feel like. LOL. Anything ripe now is Primo Cream of the Crop

My brother in law uses dogs in Hawaii. Every once in awhile when one "disappears", he'll leave his t-shirt out and come back the next day, and the dog will be there waiting.
