GOULDS

[tomgobbler]

It took 22 bonus points for my son to draw a Goulds tag- one of my friends had a Rancher that he had helped with some work that had some birds on it that was going to let us hunt - well between the draw and the hunt the ranch sold and new owners wouldn’t let anyone on it. So we were at square one going into the hunt . 
however after looking at the map and talking to the same friends we found a spot we figured had some birds with public access - and were able to get it done opening day. That was after having a mountain lion trail us down a wash - and seeing the blackest rattle snake I have ever seen . 
And then on the way home that night seeing the big fire between Eden and Fort Thomas . Another great day spent with some of my boys . 
10” beard - 7/8” spurs - typical Gould’s snowy white tips. 
 

if anyone can turn pictures lease feel free - I still havnt figured that out .

Congratulations. Cool hunt story. The snake is probably an Arizona Black Rattlesnake.

Private property and lions, must have been hunting in unit 32. I always wanted to hunt goulds there. Originally they transplanted turkey into the middle of the unit at powers garden using a helicopter and volunteers on the ground. I always wanted to hike in camp and hunt there. I put in there for years but with so few tags offered there is no bonus pass tags offered. Once I had enough points to draw a pass tag in another unit I quit applying there.

Congratulations to your son on a nice Tom.
