Cool, I got sighted! Thanks CJ! I am sorry I missed seeing your sticker! I was on my way back from a Hunter Heritage Workgroup Meeting that was held all weekend up at Mormon Lake.

Well, yesterday before dawn I was doing owl surveys in the Pinal Mountains and got rained on. Not much, but it counted.... And then later in the afternoon we headed to the San Carlos Reservation to do some surveys and got a lot of rain. Rain all over the place!! Not torrential, but nice rain! We got to our campsite and set the tent up in very strong winds with threatening black clouds coming in on us. It rained much of the night and when I got up this morning at 3 am to do surveys it was raining again. And it was still dark clouds over much of the rez this morning. And it's only 77 degrees here in Globe now. I love it!! Let's hope for a great monsoon season! Oh, and check out the pics of what Julie brought me at 3 am this morning! Our tent zipper doesn't work, so she spends much of the night out running around and when she heard me wake up she came in with this! GOOD GIRL JULIE!! Sunshine had a nice trip too, although she isn't so obsessed with retrieving antlers...

LOL, I wondered why you never commented on those. Guess it took you over a year to find it!

I will do my best! Lots of clouds building today!

Hey, that wasn't me, but I was driving through Payson today and yesterday! Why didn't you spot me?? !!! LOL!

Instead of PM'ing everyone, I will just direct you to the Advertising info page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/advertise_he...ertise_here.htm Thanks for your interest!

Very Funny....This was a brand new tent and the zipper stopped working after like 2 uses...manufacturer sent me new parts for the zipper which fixed it for awhile, but now it's not working again. I hate zippers!

Looks like a cool place. You should ask him if he wants to become a sponsor here. Bet some of the guys might stop there for lunch on the way to and from Mexico or other hunts.

Nice bass! And it looks like you had the place practically to yourselves...

I would do the Black River.

Very nice!

+1!

LOL!

You are right TJ!! Luckily the tent has an overhanging to keep rain out of the door and we positioned the tent so the door was away from the wind Anyone know someone that works on tent zippers?

I love the one with the reflection in the water...beautiful!

hehehe, are you kidding me? It's been like that for years and years. Guess you just don't cuss as much as you thought you did if it took you this long to notice. LOL!

Hey Rick, I sent you an email with advertising details. thanks for your interest

How did this one go Steve? got any pics or info to share with us?

Thanks! I also added in some banners that promote some of the nonprofits like the AZ Deer Assoc, Outdoor Experience 4 All, and the Great American Deer Raffle. The banners rotate every 8 seconds. I will probably be adding banners for some of the other conservation groups too. And of course some of our sponsors might take advantage of the new real estate.

Details? How far was the shot, what broadhead did you use, did you have to do more than one shot? How long did you wait after the shot?

Well, you need to get your gun's gender issues figured out....you say it's a her but then you say it's a bad-boy, so you are confusing things already!

Wow, I hope he made it. You could always go back in the area and look for a carcass pile. The mother elk might have fought the lion off if he did catch up to them and try to eat the calf. Oopsss.... I just saw that it was a year ago, so I guess finding the carcass pile is out.

Nice looking bear! Was it spot and stalk or did you sit a blind?

thanks for all the great info Tony, Bill and Jim!
