Awesome- I love Kodiak- and miss that place! AzP&Y

Az Yota- congrats- Cow or Bull either way they both rock! I killed my bull in 04' and my cow in 05' both with archery equipment I had the cow made into a shoulder mount. It was the only one in the taxidermy shop that I saw. I didn't care, I hunted cows for years before I harvested her. I am equally proud of the cow as I am my P&Y bull. Everything I learned about hunting cows has been applied to bull elk hunting. It's made me a better elk hunter- period. Enjoy that meat! AzP&Y

Ran into my first Grouse in Az on the spring turkey hunt in 27. Scared the B- Jeezus out of me when it fluttered out of a spruce pine! Have to put that hunt on the radar. Looks like the leaves are definetely changing on some of the trees. I saw it was 37 degrees @ the Grand Canyon this morning. AzP&Y

My advice would be look towards some of Arizona's Wilderness areas. Prior to a trip in there, study some maps and pick 3 prospective areas within a mile (once you arrive at your primary spot looking at maps). Strap on a pack and head in there overnight. I'm talking MILES not yards. Wake up early and check out your 3 potential areas (sign,trails- possibly a spring or 2). Be secretive , yet selective of where you mount the camera. Secure it with the method of your choice - knowing anything can be removed with the right tools. If you have the set up, install a solar panel or 12v battery. Leave the area alone for 2-3 months, while using any one of the commercial bait attractants on the market. Upon arrival to check the camera (this is the Christmas morning part)- bring a viewer or camera to view the SD card. This second visit will give you some concrete data. Do I continue to work this spot? or venture to another? or is my camera gone and I know this is a thieving area? Wilderness eliminates- all mechanized (including mountain bikes) and motorized vehicles. Foot and horse is about all you will find. At the very least, you will be in better physical shape when you whack that buck,bear or bull having covered some ground and learned some new country. Good luck & don't get discouraged, it can take time for the spot to develop and turn on! - The bug bites deep! AzP&Y

Stellar work Doug - Arizona Highways- should be calling I love the way the light is 'filtered'- bringing me INTO the Canyon! Thanks for sharing these- ! I say to truely appreciate the canyon you must hike into it, but seeing these I'm once again rethinking that statement. AzP&Y Doug

Awesome hunt- I've been waiting for a grizz hunt to be posted on CWT- ! AzP&Y

Real nice bucks! I like the high beam coues! Those are reaching towards the sky! Thanks for sharing! AzP&Y

Real nice bull- the first is the most memorable! I'm sure you waited a while for that tag! Enjoy it- as I know it can be a while for a bull tag! Nothing like the first sunrise of an elk hunt! AzP&Y

Rock solid as usual Bowsniper- Great Job- !!!!!!!!!!! I now have a new shot - morning pre-routine! - Sit -strech- PULL! AzP&Y

WHOOO EEEE! C-U-T-T-E-R-S! Real nice Pronghorn! Also real nice series of pics - giving us a different perspective with each shot! AzP&Y

Bownut, I saw the same show, boy they hammered em' with that C'mere deer... I mean these bucks were all over that stuff... Of course they sponsor the stuff, but That really made the difference during that hunt for sure! AzP&Y

Great Turk and Buck for sure! I'm going to start wearing my headlamp during the day. Maybe that will change my luck ! Thanks for sharing the pics and story- Great to hear about another member helping out a fellow hunter with all of the inbreed fighting going on cwt! AzP&Y

A couple of RECORD BOOK- Arizona Bears for sure! That southern Az bear seems to be doing just fine ! AzP&Y

Beautiful -Coues BUCK! Back to Back is just incredible! Great job and really nice pics! AzP&Y

That's what always perplexes me with great summer velvet bucks. That happened to me last season also. You've got this buck coming into an area and then WHAM- they turn to the night. With little to no pressure and very little change in climate. Hope it turns out well for you! AzP&Y

Fantastic buck -Clay- You drilled him... Great pre-scout and execution of the shot at the moment of truth! Congrats! AzP&Y

2010 Regs are available on line! Good luck in the future draws! PIG Fever- Love that time of year! http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/2...Booklet_WEB.pdf AzP&Y

Cool- congrats- Arrows in the air- that's what it's all about. Lots of time left to slay a deer! AzP&Y

+1 - I pulled this one off with her last summer and I've been good to go for a while. You guys need to raise the bar with your ladies, it can go a L-O-N-G way! Make sure it's "her" choice and not yours. AzP&Y

TIME TO GET OUT OF THE TREES- BOYZ! AzP&Y

KP, That is my pig from 2007 and the pic is the taxidermy mount. Here are a few pics from the hunt! I found a coues 90+ "heavy" beam lion kill that year as well! AzP&Y
