Hopefully this wasn’t the last mature buck in the unit

Well what I have seen, is that... yes coues deer are in trouble in some hunts because 700+ tags per hunt is a lot but that's not what worry me the most. What worry me the most is the idiots out there that do not know how to hunt and do not know how to shoot and do not know and/or have common sense! That's what worry me the most because not only coues deer are in trouble, good hunters are too! Ernesto C.

20 years ago my daughter drew 5B antelope tag #1 when there were only 5 tags issued. She was 10 years old and only had her hunter safety point. My baby girl turns 30 next week.

Like the title says, I have a 1980 CJ 5 for sale. My dad bought it in 1982 and it was passed on to me a few years ago. I hate to get rid of it, but I don’t have the time to care for it like I should. The original engine was replaced in the 80’s with a bigger AMC 304. It has a PowerTrax Lock Right rear locker and will get you everywhere you’re brave enough to go. It does leak a little oil, I believe it’s from the rear main seal. It’s been like this for decades, we’ve always just checked the oil periodically and added when needed. Overall it’s in good shape. The shifter can be touchy. If jammed into gear, the shifter can get stuck in that particular gear- never have taken it to get looked at, I’ve always just shifted gentle and it’s never been an issue. Also has: After market front bumper with winch. Rear bumper with swing away spare. Dual exhaust Prices seem to be all over the place for these old Jeeps. Sold!

Nothing is wrong. I am just trying to save for a house I plan to buy in September and also paying for my wife's last bit of schooling. We are living on just one income right now. In total I am still taking a loss but need cash or something I can sell a bit faster for cash

I agree with a lot that has been said. I think one of the things we are seeing now is the horrible rain year of 2020. Driest on record for Tucson. I saw several springs dry that I never seen dry. Predators had to be eating good. I only saw a few fawns that year and 0 twins

Heck of a non-typical 🤣

Cant fix stupid. Running ramped these days.

The Zoo.

😂🤣

And, statistically I bet the number of people who actually hunt has not kept up with the population increase and yet if you travel from Heber to the valley after Memorial Day weekend you will see that the number of people who come and enjoy the mountains is beyond belief. Any given weekend during the hot summer months there are very few untraveled back roads! Lots of people who enjoy the cool and the forest who do not hunt!

IMO... The amount of rifle tags is unsustainable. Every time I read about a rifle coues hunt it's I shot my deer at 550, 605, 680. Ray Charles could sneak within that type of range. Too many deer are being shot, many of them shooting any buck with horns, and the large bucks take a beating as they are fewer in number anyways. Technology has improved to the point that even so-so marksmen are slinging lead at that range. This is not meant to be a bashing of rifle hunters... it's just numbers of deer hitting the ground, Especially with a few units issuing tags in the thousands, and most in the 600-800 range. People bitched about the OTC bow hunt are killing all the deer. It's been limited now, and rarely do many units get near reaching the quota for coues. Most Southern coues units there are only a handful of bucks killed... Mule deer are another story... I definitely see less mature bucks during the rut, it's been steadily decreasing for years. Sure, someone kills a slug every now and then... but proportionally the number of large bucks seem to be getting less...

Had a deal but he wanted cashiers check only. Then we discussed PayPal and said he got better offers and backed out. FYI for anyone interested

syd you sent me a PM not for me

Pretty much everything is in trouble in 2024 except illegal immigrants

Let's see it!

Hey guys, January was really good this year. I was able to see a lot of animals and was able to go on plenty of stalks. with that being said, I also got my butt kicked plenty of times. With January winding down. I found myself on the 27th looking at this deer in his bed in a really good area to approach him not being a fan of hunting in August in September I decided that I would be super happy with this buck if I was lucky enough to close the distance and get an arrow in him. With the conditions that day being super windy, it helped a lot with my stalk and I was able to get into a comfortable distance and get a shot on this buck when he got out of his bed. It all worked out and I was very happy with this buck and the stalk that I put on him.

Solid price for it all! Someone swoop ‘em this up, I just purchased a Btx and 85mm

Coues deer are definitely in trouble with those.

Had the opportunity to head up to my good buddy’s place in Colorado between Christmas and New Year’s to help him on a special deer tag in one of Colorado’s Open Space hunts. We were able to find a great buck for him on the first day and he made a perfect shot. That freed up 3 extra days to head to his ranch to chase lions and I was able to harvest a beautiful cat on the first morning out. I’ll spare you all the read and you can watch both hunts!

We had 4 tags and took 3 nice bucks all about he same size. 4th tag holder not that hot to take an average buck so passed. Other bucks were seen and one big one, doe and fan sightings ok. Pic is my nephews first and the size f other 2 taken, all in all saw as many bucks as we have in 20 years.

Punched my tag on a good buck a couple of days ago, just thought I'd share a picture since it's so slow these days...
