+1 Politics isn't my favorite either.... but nobody has to read everything on the site. The political forum is there for those that enjoy discussing politics. It was added because many people requested it. If you don't like politics, don't open threads in that forum. Even though illegal immigration seems like a topic unrelated to hunting, it really does affect hunting in AZ. Just look at the AGFD regulations and their red demarcation zone and warning about problems with illegals in certain southern units. And think of all the hunters who don't hunt the southern units just because they are afraid of the illegal activity. Illegal immigration/drug smuggling is affecting hunters in AZ and seems a very appropriate discussion topic for a hunting site to me.

Congratulations! great story and nice job getting your bird!

Kevin, Thanks so much for supporting CouesWhitetail.com by donating back 5% of your proceeds from selling the spotting scope in the classifieds here. I sure appreciate it! If anyone wants to do the same kind of donation, you may use the Donate button on the lefthand margin of the main page (http://www.coueswhitetail.com), under the menu system. Or contact me for info on sending a check. All donations are much appreciated! Thank you!

Exactly right! If our government put the time and money into illegal immigration like they do in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the problem would be solved quickly. Maybe they should move the Whitehouse down to the border. Then Obama can watch 300-1200 immigrants walk across his front lawn daily. +1 Maybe we can move Congress down there too. That would really help speed up the process of getting something done that works.

LOL!!

Great job Jim and Pops!! And those pics are excellent! Nicely done! Love how you got the turkey backlit and the wings spread out.

Maybe check the manual for the cam to see if you can just download using a USB cable. You would need some sort of video editing program on your computer to process the video. Not sure if you have that, but Microsoft includes Movie Maker and that works ok. Look under All Programs, then Accessories, then Entertainment, and you should see Windows Movie Maker (at least that is how it is on my XP machine, not sure about Vista).

I am pretty sure that is photoshopped....

Outstanding!!! Did you get any of it on video? Post it?

Godspeed...and how nice that you made so many great memories with him.

Ouch....that hurts. Did they know you were there?

Awesome!! I am very happy for you!!

LOL!! Awesome! You guys got the moves! When you guys gonna do a show here in Globe??

Awesome!! Congratulations on some fine turkey hunting!

Well great job on low hunters and game until next year (2011). They got got greedy I guess...... Took lessons for the AZGFD apparantly.... Up until this year there were 150 tags for units A,B, and C, total combined, now this next year (2011) they have 150 tags for unit A, 150 tags for unit B, and 150 tags for and unit C (totaling) 450 tags. They just up and decided to TRIPLE THE TAGS BECAUSE THEY COULD. We have hunted up there for the last 4 years but because of this we won't any longer. $245.00 is an aweful lot to pay for a Turkey, especially when they triple the amount of tags that we have been used to. My buddy and I both took 10 3/4" bearded Turkey out of there this year, but this is the last year because of their greed. I hate to be a pessimist, good luck to all that apply next year. That was actually just a typo. They did not intend to do 150 tags per unit. I spoke with the director of the dept about it. It will be a total of 150 again just as in the past years. The typo came about because this year they intended to make the tags valid for a particular unit rather than have the tag good for all three units. It's been fixed on their website now too. So next year you will have to pick a particular unit for your hunt. This way the hunting pressure is spread out evenly across the three units. Amanda

good one!

Wow, that's awesome. Take lots of pics and have a great adventure!

Killing them. They are gorgeous animals. It is a shame we have to kill them to put them on the wall. Other than that, getting on an airplane and flying back home to the fridgid frickin cold. They are beautiful animals and they are great eating! Venison is some of the healthiest meat on the planet. I certainly don't kill them just to put them on a wall....

Yes, I think we have enough for two tables. Is everyone from the original table still in? Amanda

Congratulations!! that's awesome! What broadhead did you use?

Wow, quite the lively debate going on here. I was three pages behind on this thread. Anyway, thanks to everyone for sharing their knowledge. Lots to be learned in this thread.
