Congratulations Nicole!! Looks like the ladies are smokin' the deer this year

WoW! 110 yard shot, that's amazing...what kind of bow does he shoot? Good thing he practiced that shot!! Congratulations! Beautiful antelope.

Love it!! Looks great! thanks for the support! Guess we will find out how the CWT stickers hold up to extreme speeds! hey, let people know when your next race is or at least the next local one and maybe you can get some CWT fan base there cheering for you.

Wow, what a tragedy.....a good reminder to check condition of your tires and make sure you and your kids are properly seat-belted.

we had a lot of trouble getting jelly to set so we just go with syrup and don't bother with the jellies...

Awesome! I am been drinking prickly pear juice mixed with orange juice every day this week! I love it. My husband boils it down to make more of a syrup and then adds that and a bunch of spices to some generic bbq sauce. It turns out GREAT! I have also boiled it down and used it on roast lamb. That was amazingly good. Of course, most of you know I love to make Margaritas with it too!! They turn out beautiful. Attached is the method we use for harvest and juicing. My husband leads juicing classes at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum and hands this out there. Has some nutrition info on it that I found online. This stuff is good for you! Prickly Pear Juice.doc

Bruce Bingham sent these pics in and here is what he had to say about each bull: These first four pics show a bull taken by my brother, 60 pound Diamond Iceman, 54 yards, 125 grain Slick trick Broadhead. Nicked the nuckle bone in the shoulder, lodged in the far shoulder, 50 yard recovery. Taped at 367 and 2/8. The next three pics are of a bull taken by Bruce. 50 yards, Mathews Z7 at 72 pounds, Vortex 125 grain solids. Broke ribs in and ribs out, went down in sight. My 80 year old father who came out to our camp the morning I killed this bull. After seeing my brothers bull he gave my a lot of grief that mine would "fit in the glove box". Now and forever in camp "the glove box bull". It was a really good shot though! Last three pics - This bull was taken by a good friend from Dos Cabezas. Hoyt Alphamax at 70 pounds, 100 grain Vortex Broadhead, His sight pins look like a parade at night. Not going to say how far but it took over a second for the arrow to get there. I guessed him at 339 but the taxi thought I was way low, he gets longer and heavier as he finishes out. He felt mid 350's. Well known Tucson Taxidermist.

Woo-hoo!!! AWESOME!! Great trip and your husband is a wonderful guy making all your dreams come true like that! Excellent job making all those shots, especially the one in the dark! And thanks for supporting sponsor Bull Basin with all your archery needs! and nice shirt!!

Wow! I loved the story, thanks for sharing all the details! What a great buck, congratulations on making an excellent shot. And thanks for supporting two CW.com sponsors (Wild Heritage Taxidermy and Brownings Custom Meat)! Great job! Glad that Havalon knife you won worked so well for you! Watch those fingers around that knife!

Wow, what a cool opportunity Doug!! Great pics and it's so nice to be able to share an adventure like that with you...thanks!

LOL!! good one.

Wow, check this out! Jay Lopeman of Mossback AZ asked me to share this with you. This buck is 35 inches wide and is a 13x14 buck. Score is 283 5/8. Congratulations to the hunter and guides! Amazing buck! (please keep comments positive in this thread. If you want to have a discussion about special commissioners tags, etc, please take it to another thread)

Maybe you are right Kevin.....Doug always seems to post in the Non-hunting Trip section which seems appropriate, but of course his pics are in a class of their own...as are yours too Kevin!

You know any single women who love to hunt? All the women I know who love to hunt are married or at least in a very long term relationship.....so it might be a pretty pathetic singles section with men talking to men....hehehe

How large is the file in terms of MB? You can email me the file and I will try and post it. amanda@coueswhitetail.com

Shouldn't be any problems related to the site going down....Sounds like Bonecollector got them to post fine.. Most people aren't having any trouble at all posting pics (as you can see from all the pics posted since the site went down). For those that are having trouble, are you uploading photos one at a time or trying to use the flash uploader that allows multiple pics to upload? And are you uploading from your phone or your computer? And Bonecollector, what size are the pics that you were able to upload and what size were they before you resized them?

here is a review that a member posted today: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26884

Cool pics...what is the animal that was killed? Did you just happen upon that and then set up your camera?

Wow! Can't wait for the story!! CONGRATULATIONS!

you can email me the pics and I can try posting

how large is the file you are trying to post? maybe you just need to resize it.

I did not have any trouble posting pics today. I assume you are browsing and selecting the file before you hit attach pis, right?

Just wanted to let you all know that the AGFD commission is meeting today to discuss the department's hunt guideline recommendations. The hunt guidelines are sets of policies that dictate how the game species will be managed. Some of the changes that are being proposed are to go back to a year round mountain lion season as well as institute minimal occurrance zones where the dept manages for low or no lions. I believe the commission just approved this change at the meeting. Also the dept is recommending adding a new alternate management unit for mule deer in Unit 3A/3C. The alternate mgmt units allow for higher buck:doe ratios and lower hunter densities than regular units. The dept is also proposing adding late season mule deer hunts in 10 new units. This is a good time to start listening to the discussion as they started talking about the deer guidelines. http://www.azgfd.gov/inside_azgfd/CommissionCam.shtml

thx for the report and I hope you get back out there soon!

I have used badlands 2200 and blacks creek canadian. I found the 2200 difficult to stuff all my stuff into, so I went to the blacks creek pack which I like better, but the zippers are busted on it now. But if you are looking for a smaller pack, I just got the Eberlestock X2 (from Santana Outdoors) and used it most everyday all summer for fieldwork and have loved it!! It's comfortable and has the mesh back to help keep you cooler while carrying it. I have yet to use it for a hunt, but I plan to use it on my elk hunt. Pretty sure I can use it to pack an elk quarter as it has a metal frame for strength.
