Case and point - the Arizona and Nevada Auction ELK tags- those comments have gotten WAY out of hand...I think they call it EXTREME BASHING. I also check that site out from time to time , but have NEVER joined. I don't think their pics are as real & genuine as CWT members and what they contribute... just my .02 AzP&Y

Going with the Jim White Tripler *(3X)- read Coosefan's review and thought it was a must have. I like light-weight things (gadgets) and this should come in handy when glassin'... AzP&Y Doug

Charlie, We used it last year for our 36b hunt. Duwane gave us some detailed information, but he's not going to say "go to these gps coordinates". It was 250.00 for the map and well worth the investment. Gave us 5 or so spots to 'check out' Also we took glassing lessons from him last August , it was like 200.00 -250.00 per person. It was a 1/2 day session. It was the best investment ever. Even more than the map service IMO. Good luck and hope you guys drop a bruiser up there.. AzP&Y

Fantastic pictures- Colorado is a-w-e-s-o-m-e COUNTRY! Nice Buffalo in that shop as well... Rim to Rim- no easy feat. Bet they were feeling it on the uphill- Bright Angel Side... Thanks for sharin' the pics! AzP&Y

Sweet Trip Scott- 4 sure! I used to work for club med back in the 80's and we would spend many a weekend @ Sonora Bay Club Med, right on the sea of cortez & coast as you were. Some fun dos equis stories and partying at the discoteque until dawn. I always think of that film "catch 22" that was filmed down there many years ago, when I see those mountains. Great escape and it's only a matter of time before you bring home the BILLFISH of lifetime! Thanks for sharin! AzP&Y Doug

Very nice pictures- That is 1 heavy beamed coues rack! thank you for sharing (snakes) and all AzP&Y

CF, Great Mount- Thanks for taking the time to show us the detail around the eyes. I learned something new and what to look for . Bret does quality work and it's a keeper for sure! AzP&Y

Prior to my trip to the peaks in Flag and quick 5 day trip to Iowa ... I was able to spend 3 days running around the Santa Ritas. 15 miles of hiking on the Arizona Trail (section 4), the scenery was absolutely spectacular. Sore feet left me glassin and was able to locate 2 nice black (cinnamon) bears, some nice coues and this Goulds. So far I've seen Goulds in 3 Arizona mountain ranges: Huachuchas, Santa Catalinas , and Santa Ritas... Looks like the reintroduction is going well. Just before sunset, I was able to locate this nice 5pt shed and attempted an Arizona Highways "SHED SHOT" . Hence " evening bone" - get your minds out of the gutter- this is a family website! Good luck to you rifle hunters that drew tags- The coues are awatin' .... http://www.aztrail.org/passages/pass_04.html AzP&Y Doug

121 & 6/8 - excellent coues deer and great mount! AZP&Y

Finished it again last night for the second time. Fantastic book. It's hard to comprehend the level of detail in this book- which makes it all the more enjoyable... I would say a must read prior to your upcoming coues hunt... AzP&Y

Sweet ! Summit FEVER! That is one fantastic hike! You guys look like you earned it! Looks like a very nice day up there... Thanks for sharin' the pics! AzP&Y

yep, got pretty lucky just before sunset. Here are a few in daylight... Not sure if that buck roams the hills? The shed looks like weathered 1-2 seasons? May go 46"? Check out the eye-guard. Doug - AzP&Y

Coconino and Kaibab National Forests Lift Closures, Some Restrictions For Immediate Release Date: July 19, 2007 Contact: Coconino Supervisor's Office 928-527-3600 or Jackie Denk on the Kaibab National Forest at 928-635-8314 WILLIAMS, AZ — Due to recent rains, the Coconino and Kaibab National Forests plan to lift all closures and some fire restrictions at 8 a.m. tomorrow (Friday, July 20). The entire Coconino National Forest is open to public use except for the area directly surrounding the Birdie Fire. As of 8 a.m. tomorrow, all fire restrictions will be lifted. “We have received significant precipitation over the last couple of weeks with more on the way, according to forecasts,” said Bruce Greco, fire staff officer for the Coconino National Forest. “We feel comfortable that the risk of fire starts has been reduced enough to lift all restrictions on the Coconino National Forest.” While the Kaibab National Forest has also received some rain, it has not received as much as the Coconino. Therefore, all closures will be lifted, but campfire and smoking restrictions, known as Stage 1 fire restrictions, will remain in effect forestwide. As of 8 a.m. tomorrow, the North Kaibab Ranger District, which is located north of Grand Canyon National Park, and the Bill Williams Mountain watershed, which is located on the Williams Ranger District just south of the city of Williams, will be reopened to public use. That means activities such as camping, hiking, biking and motorized vehicle use will again be allowed in the areas. All other areas of the Kaibab National Forest will remain open. On all districts of the Kaibab National Forest, campfire and smoking restrictions will remain in effect.

RR, Not sure if you have seen this or not, but it helped me when I was down there a couple of weeks ago.... Congrats on the Tag- I do believe that you will have a QUALITY Hunt! http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coronado/forest/re...ta_rita_ohv.pdf AzP&Y Doug
