Well folks. The 4th Coues deer has fallen.. 102 and change..

Well weather was not ideal on the hunt and for the first time hunting this mountain range I felt like every where I went there was someone else there. Bigger deer were not being cooperative and only 80" -90" deer seemed to be poking their heads out. The end of the hunt I was able to turn this buck up and decided to take him. Can't pass up some good eating coues in the freezer.

My wife and I have recently started doing a bit more wildlife photography and we took a trip to Yellowstone back in May. We were able to see a lot of really cool animals and figured I could share with those who might appreciate it. Hope you enjoy!

I forgot how to find bucks so have become a nature photographer. Here are a couple photos of does I took my last time out.

4 bucks in one season is something special! Enjoy your success ! Great job.

14 hours @ 230

Let them see me before I saw them. They hate that.

You didn’t answer my question. Keep flapping your gums.

Show me where I projected 440? I’ll wait. Also how many Coues have you killed this year? I’ll wait on that too..

At least if you pay attention you have the option to come down here! If AZ keeps letting everyone come down here and kill deer for their instasham page our deer are gonna look like Colorados elk and antelope just a bunch of runts running around the OTC units, then it will be ruined for everyone. I hope AZ makes all OTC resident only, at a minimum they should make nonresident archery tags a draw and use their points when they get a tag. IMO

Like Adam previously stated not a coues but it was harvested with a specialty pistol. With 30 BP I finally drew an AZ desert bighorn sheep permit. I used a custom Remington XP-100 in 284 Winchester to harvest my ram at 157 yards.

Like new condition Green Ambush color 27.5" draw length mods 70# limbs 85% let off Bare bow besides the Ultra Rest $700

I killed a 102 inch buck. What do you mean what happened? How many Coues did you harvest this year? I’ll wait on that too

If it's legal I could give a rip. The only thing I really want is a draw on the late rut hunts. This quota system may not seem so bad this year but wait until we get a year when it hasn't rained in months.

Yep. Gave me an extra inch and a half lol

Looks good whatever it is.

AZ OTC should only be for residents. NR should have to draw at a VERY limited tag allocation. The mandatory harvest reporting should be for across the board, not just for archery hunters. How can we not mandatory harvest report for unit x that has 750 rifle deer tags for the general hunt?? That's a ton of lost data. The quota system is arbitrary. I hunt areas within a unit that Is already closed that I don't see people in. Multiple bucks running that country right now. I may get strung up on the forum gallows here for this next one but I would love to see a ruling put in place for only harvesting one buck during the archery deer rut hunts. Not the calendar year deal we currently have where you can kill 2 bucks. One in December and one in January when the year rolls over.

1. You have only yourself to blame 2. yeah they sold out that fast, idaho sold so many tags they crashed the system the first day. More people are hunting now, also when you take something away, a lot of times it triggers people to buy. 3. Thirteen miles is too far for a javelina.

I like this pic of him on the 4 wheeler, it looks cool.

Got the nocks in and finally had a chance to shoot them and they work as advertised. I did not see any drop in my arrows out to 70 yards. They flew the same as my other nocks. Pretty happy with these lighted nocks. Have some friends that bought some so will see how they like them.

Last week of December.

No smokeless ML allowed in AZ during a ML or HAM hunt. You can use it elsewhere, or on a general AZ hunt. But they do GREAT with BH209 too, so you can go that route. Just did a quick tutorial for a buddy. He shoots smokeless too with H322.

Torch, deep socket, drill.
