It's on the White Mtn Apache Reservation. They have their own game laws. Only tribal members can hunt on the WMAT. Amanda

Yes, that was fun all wearing CW shirts!! Here is a reminder pic of how fun that OE4A banquet was! Let's get a table of 10 for the ADA banquet.

I tried to help, but wasn't able to locate him. Amanda

Don't know what it weighed, but some have told me they didn't think the body was exceptionally large. I wonder how much fat he had on him (I forgot to ask Harold). Amanda

Yeah, he must have had a pretty amazing life. I wish I had videotaped him alive. wouldn't that be cool to watch him rutting out there. I would like to have seen how he broke off that fairly thick tine on the inside of his rt beam. Amanda

Yeah, like you will only come back once to look at this buck.... Amanda

Good Luck in Mexico John! and thanks for your summary. Amanda

Cool pics! Is that someone elses cam across from yours? Amanda

Didn't have time to score it, but hopefully after 60 days I will. Maybe then we can do a guess the score or guess the mass contest. Amanda

+1 LOL!! Amanda

Heck, I am not going to be able to sleep tonight!! I am so jazzed!! That thing is a TOAD! Amanda

Personally I think the law should be changed to allow some flexibility with the WM/DPS to decide who can take it. I assume the law is set up so as to not allow poachers to say they found the deer dead, but surely a law enforcement officer can determine whether someone is just requesting the deer so it won't be wasted vs trying to take it as a poacher. I hate seeing the waste and have actually thought about asking the commisson to change the current law that only allows the person who hit the deer to keep it. What do you guys think? Amanda

If you let us know what unit, we might be able to get you the WMs phone number. Amanda

If you can reach the WM for the unit, they might be able to let you have it. But I think the rule is that only the person who hits it can take it, but you never know what they might say. If you can't reach the WM directly, perhaps call the game thief line? 1-800-352-0700 Or call DPS and the officer might know how to get ahold of the WM for the unit. Amanda

My guess is that Ben Brown is correct and it's a viral fibrous tumor. Amanda

I have very much enjoyed the debate between you two. Thank you both for making your points in a reasonably civil manner and I really like the real world examples of how the stuff is applied. I think most everyone here can learn from both of you. Thanks to you both!! Amanda

I wonder if it bothers Bill Quimby? surely he will have something to say about this Amanda

Nice find!! Amanda

Oh my! How can someone do something like that? Wow, that is a lowlife! I need a new dog, so if someone is going down there, let me know. Amanda

Very nice!! I like how you got the yellow barrell cactus fruits in the pic! Amanda

That's FUNNY!!! Amanda

Coosefan, Hope you have a great day!! Thanks for all your contributions to this site!! We always enjoy reading about your many hunting adventures!! Amanda

I am packer fan too, so that's very tempting!! Have to think about it though. My Dad is a big packer fan too and lives down by Tucson, I will call him and see if he wants to go. Amanda

When they turn and run off, don't put the call away. More often than not they'll run a short distance, stop, turn around and come right back if you keep calling non-stop. Incidentally, have you tried hanging your hogs from their teeth? You don't need a rope. Just clamp their mouths over a small limb and their weight will do the work. Make sure it's a small branch, though. If you leave them hanging too long you'll need to cut or break the branch to free your pigs. Bill Quimby I learn something new from you all the time Bill. Gotta try that one. Amanda

WOW!! Congratulations! That's a TOAD! Please post the story!! You know we all drool at the prospects of hunting the WMAT! Amanda
