Great to hear. How about you post a couple of pictures. . I love looking at Coues deer.

You changing your forum name also? 6.5 creedmoor??? JK

I've never flown a unit looking for animals, BUT if I was going to fly the strip I probably would have completely missed the OTC elk hunt up there. I'm not saying it is right I'm just saying that I probably would have missed it. If he was legal in every other way I think its a little bit of BS charge, but oh well. It is the law so we shall see what happens.

Flying a unit looking for animals isn't illegal, Flying during the OTC elk hunt from April -July IS illegal. If he was flying during the OTC non permit elk hunt from April-July and that is what he was sited for, I think its a stupid violation. Sure it is a violation but stupid. I seriously doubt he was looking for elk with a deer tag in his pocket. Maybe that is why the game and fish put those dates for the OTC elk??? IF he was flying within the illegal time frame of his hunt I hope justice is served.

Awesome job Casey and Levi!! Killing it this year!

Very cool. Great job on a tremendous buck.

I did a quick google search and yes we have had mountain goats in AZ. Including the Grand Canyon. haha

I would assume, but yeah I have no idea. My Az goat history is zero.

I kind of wish the same thing. I'm just not sure there would ever be a huntable population. I would love to hunt them again.

As someone that has had the experience of hunting goats above treeline, I just want another one. They are cool animals. I think it is pretty cool to shot one in AZ, possibly the first ever??? That is pretty special IMO

Yeah its cool, it has decent hair and it is a billy

We are trying to kill the deer, not pet it. respect as very little to do with it. Have you ever seen predators kill a deer or elk?? They eat it from the back end forward most of the times. We are better than animals but we are still trying to kill them. Every time I make stupid decisions (buck fever) it is at 50 yards and under. I'm a much more respectful person at 700 than 25 if the metric we we are talking about how, is howcalm we are and how well we can make a "good shot". I've seen plenty of wounded animals from people at 100-300 yards. I'm kind of sick of this holier than thou attitude that people have for other hunters. The real sign of respect and integrity come from WHAT YOU DO AFTER YOU HIT A DEER, do you chalk it up to miss, poor shot? Do you track it until you find it or do you give up after 5 minutes? Do you even go look for it? Do you check for it for multiple days? To me that is what shows the moral and ethical side of a person. That being said in todays world/internet its best to leave off yardage. I"ve never seen much good come from it. Congrats on a fine deer and a heck of a poke.

I don't have a real problem with all of the classifieds but it does get a little annoying. haha. I like a good hunting story and I did NOT tell a good hunting story but it was a story at least.

Thanks. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with camera land. They always have been very helpful.

Thanks haha. Like most times I was by myself and usually take some video and just take some screen shots
