After locating 3 bucks over 100 while helping a friend on a November hunt, we began this December tag with high hopes. We went down the opening weekend; Saturday and Sunday only due to school. We glassed 6-10 bucks per day, but nothing my 16 year old son wanted to take. He was fortunate enough to harvest a 200 plus inch (gross) mule deer last year and really wanted a 100 inch Coues. As the second weekend approached I was planning our trip down South, and he informed me that he did not want to hunt because he did not want to disappoint the guys at 'work". He volunteers at our Church, and with a million services for Christmas they could not get through without his help. We went back down the day after Christmas with the intention of staying until New Years. The first morning back was good. glassed several bucks in that 80 ish low 90 range. He asking is it over 100 Dad? "Nope". we met up with my best buddy around 3 and decided to go back to a different spot I have not glassed in a long time. 4 of us looking at one look and a friend of mine from work had to be "that guy" and walk a 1/4 mile to look at it from a different angle. He is new to hunting and called on the radio and said, "I have a buck that is big". I walked to his location and after some piss poor communication located the buck. At first glance I said "no, I don't think he is over mid 90's". After some coxing from a couple of buddies, and as the sun was getting low, he and I decided to have a closer look. We closed the distance from 1600 yards to 351. I relocated the buck making a half hazard attempt to birddog does, I said "bud, I still don't think he breaks 100, but look at him and if you want him take him. One well placed shot off shooting sticks with his 6.5 cm $400 cheap rifle, the buck was down. It started to rain and snow on us, but the pack out was awesome. After measuring this buck several times he is 101 and 4/8. Mission accomplished. Thanks for reading Whitey

That is a shame on the loss of your cape. An option you may want to look at is contacting AZ Game and Fish and tell them your story, perhaps they could find a road kill or poached bighorn, worth a shot?

If my luck holds I’ll have 21 points soon!

So we went fishing

Lake Pleasant must really be picking up for the pre-spawn.....

My daughter outgrew her set-up last year, so we rebarreled and bought a stock with more LOP. Gracie killed two deer and a Javelina with this setup on her action. The barrel is an 18.5" take off from a model 7. Cerakoted pink. The stock is was originally a wood 700 ADL SA stock that I cut down and slimmed. I also built the grip forward with bondo to accommodate the petite hands of a 10 year old girl. pink flip-flop recoil pad. Overall LOP is 11 3/4 inches. "Custom" Krylon paint job. Hopefully somebody else's daughter can kill stuff in style. One could repaint if pink doesn't tickle your fancy. Load data available for the buyer if interested. $90 shipped for the stock and barrel. $75 FTF

The quota has been met in the white mountain units, 2’s and 3’s.

Maybe they changed. I tried several years in a row to buy multiple tags in Advance and the Phoenix office would not let me. Something about poaching. I tried to explain to them if I wanted to poach a javelina I didn’t need multiple tags to do it.

About 50lbs. Got some yellowtail on the smoker now and Vacuum sealing the grouper.

I am going to try something new this time which should make things cheaper for you all and easier for me. The company I have been using to make all our shirts for the last 15 years is CustomInk and they have a new way to allow individuals to order as part of a group. I create the design, give you all options for colors and products and you order and pay directly with CustomInk on our group order form. I will leave the order form open for about two weeks, after two weeks the order closes and all shirts/hoodies are printed and shipped directly to those who bought them. And they ship cheaper than I can! Shipping will be about $4.99 for 1 shirt/hoodie, $7 for two, $8 for three and $10 for four or more items. So you never pay more than $10 shipping regardless of how many items you order. I am working on the options for products you can buy. I added in some ladies hoodies, some longsleeve and shortsleeve tshirts, some performance shirts as well as the hoodies in a variety of colors. Once I have all the options selected, I will create a link to the order form and everyone can review the items and decide what they want and order directly. I expect to post that link either this weekend or more likely on Monday after I talk to their customer service rep to make sure I have everything done properly before launching. Thanks for your patience.

I highly recommend you attend Christian Hunters of America's turkey hunting seminar. It's March 19th 7:00 pm at Calvary Church, I-17 near Thunderbird. Also attend the Marvin Robbins Memorial turkey seminar/camp, especially if you have kids that are hunting or interested. Put on by Arizona Elk Society and other organizations, it's a great camp for learning the ropes. Plus they feed you and it's free. Registration required. Held April 19-21 at Colcord Ridge campground, Young Highway and the 260. Plus it's in Unit 23!

I was off batamote road in 36A. Long story short, I was about to start glassing a hill when I seen movement at about 100 yards to my left just below me. It turned out to be a herd of at least 15. I stalked up to them and shot this dude at 20 yards. They all took off and he died expired in about 20 seconds.

I do have that Javelina book put out by GandF in my library. My personal thoughts are although interesting, there are a couple of threads on here and Javelinahunter.com that offer valuable information also!

Its the whole state

It’s hard to find a tastier deer than a Texas whitetail! They are the best tasting big game animal in my opinion. The chicken fried steaks are better than beef.

I live in Texas-- the area where is talking about is in a dang 'golden triangle' for whitetail hunting. Lots of great critters, the meat is some of the finest you'll take off a deer, fun terrain, great spot to light up a campfire, drink a few adult beverages and tell stories after the hunt. I went down last weekend and did some cull work and had a blast- well worth the trip!

gawd I wish that was a .243 Beautiful rifle, great luck with the sale.

Me and 8-10 of my buddies are looking for a good coues spot as well if anyone has one. Preferably in one of the leftover units and would like an area with no snakes and 110" bucks. Also looking for a good spot for OTC elk for myself and several of my friends. Not looking for huge bulls, 330+ would be good though.
