Great find!! Amanda

Cool post GH. I don't collect them other than having ones for stuff I own, but yours is a neat collection. Amanda

I didn't notice a bat on the deer clip, thought it was a moth? I guess I better rewatch it. I did have a bat on a javelina clip from that same set, but it comes in right at the end and didn't think it was worth posting. Also had one from a different spot coming out of the mine addit. I reset the trail cam in the addit this time and hope to get more of the bats. Amanda

AGFD recently clarified it's rules on this. Seems like yours would fit in the not fresh category since it's mostly exposed bone. R12-4-314. Pickup and Possessi on of Wildlife Parts A. For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply: 1. “Fresh” means the majority of a carcass or wildlife part that is not exposed dry bone and is comprised mainly of hair, hide, or flesh. 2. “Not fresh” means the majority of the carcass or wildlife part is exposed dry bone due to natural processes such as scavenging, decomposition, or weathering. B. If not in conflict with federal law, and notwithstanding any provision in Section R12?4?305 to the contrary, no license, permit, tag or stamp are required to pick up and possess naturally shed antlers and horns or parts of a wildlife carcass that are not fresh. C. If not contrary to federal law or regulation, an individual may only pick up and possess a fresh wildlife carcass or its parts under this Section if the individual notifies the Department and: 1. The wildlife carcass or its parts show no evidence of death or wounding from any device used to take wildlife; 2. The Department’s first report or knowledge of the carcass or its parts is voluntarily provided by the individual wanting to possess the carcass or its parts; 3. A Department law enforcement officer is able to observe the entire carcass and its parts at the site where the animal died in the same condition and location as when the animal was originally found by the individual wanting to possess the carcass or its parts; and 4. A Department law enforcement officer, using the officer’s education, training, and experience, finds no indication that the animal may have been taken unlawfully. The Department may require the finder to take the officer to the site where the animal carcass or parts were found if an adequate description or location cannot be provided to the officer. 5. The Department has no duty to confirm legality in the event of non-availability of a Department officer. D. If a Department law enforcement officer determines that the individual wanting to possess the carcass or its parts is authorized to do so under subsection ©, the officer shall issue a permit authorizing possession of the carcass or its parts. The permit shall contain: 1. A general description of the carcass or its parts; 2. The date of inspection; 3. Species of the wildlife carcass; 4. If applicable, horn or antler length and width, and points per side; and 5. A statement that the permit must remain with the carcass or its parts. E. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act regulates the pick-up and possession of migratory birds and their parts. The provisions of this Article and regulations promulgated under the Act apply to a person in possession of birds, feathers, other parts, eggs, and nests. F. Wildlife parts picked up and possessed from areas under control of jurisdictions that prohibit such activity are illegal to possess in this state.

I like when you guys include all those details like how fast he came in, number of stands, where he came from, etc. Neat info. What kind of caller where you using? What sounds? Amanda

Hi Guys, So who is interested in going to the annual fundraising banquet for the AZ Deer Association on June 27 in Scottsdale. There will be great items for auction and due to the economy, it might be the best year to get a steal on lots of hunts and great gear. We will have an all gun raffle again this year since this was a HUGE hit last year. Will probably have 40 guns to raffle off. And of course we will have a live auction with some great hunts all over the world (Africa, Spain, US and more). Jason Lewis (aka foundryman) is donating another bronze to the ADA and that will be in the live auction. All kinds of neat stuff will be in the silent auction. So, who wants to go? I would love get two tables of 10 put together. Tickets will be $65 and include dinner and $200 of raffle tickets to split among a corporate table of 10. These are hard economic times and if you can swing it, please help support the ADA. Most all of the conservation groups are struggling with their banquets this year, so it's more important than ever to help out by attending if you can. The CouesWhitetail.com table always has a great time, so if you have never been, this is a great way to go with some fun people!! Amanda

Ok, so far we have 11 people that seem committed: Outdoor Writer - 2 Chef - 4 Ajohunter - 1 Cramerhunts - 2 Jeremy350 - 2 Anyone who wants to go should send me a check for the total ($65 per ticket). PM me for an address if we haven't already corresponded about it. Amanda

Hope you have a great day!! Amanda

Good luck Snapshot....hope you find work soon. and nice to hear good news hunterjohnny! Glad you like the new forum Allen! Amanda

Nice! Like the heart symbol with your posting. Did your wife make you do that? Amanda

Outstanding!! Must have been a blast!! Amanda

That's a great one Gino!! What were you thinking Nate when you attached that pic to your post??? Amanda

Good luck! Hope to see a pic of you and cat tomorrow! Amanda

Wow Josh, that's quite the latrine you have there! Be fun to put a trail cam at that spot. Amanda

Ah, come on Johnathan, sometimes there are things outside other than deer to look at! Manzanita does smell good and those little flowers even taste good....kind of sweet. I am sure I will have lots of flower pics to post in the next month or so. Amanda

WOW! That's impressive! Amanda

I think you would have to get the 15x56 pack if you have 10x50s (that's what Jaret has told me). But I don't have any 10x50's to test it out in the 10x40 case. Amanda

I would check with Ross Outdoors. They are a supporter of this site and a Matthews dealer. Their website doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but I think this number is good for them: 602-386-1266 Amanda

Welcome! Enjoy thie site! Don't forget there is all kinds of helpful Coues info that can be found on the main site away from the forum. Lots of hunt stories and pics there too. http://www.coueswhitetail.com Amanda

Thanks for the feedback Doug! here is a link to the old photo tip thread you posted in case some haven't seen that one: http://forums.coueswhitetail.com/forums/in...?showtopic=3754 Amanda

You guys crack me up!! here is a link to the results: Coues buck contest results Amanda

I will be taking some pics of the cases also. Thanks for the pics you will be taking also Clay. Amanda

Ok, sounds like we have at least enough for one table, and maybe two as time goes along. I will buy one table and give tickets out to those that get me their money first. I will PM those that have said they wanted tix already so you can send me some $$. Those that are on the fence about it can think about it awhile longer. No absolute deadline, but the sooner the better. Amanda

Nice to hear about your dog and sounds like he has a great life with you. What more could a dog want than to get out and hunt with his "pack" and be well taken care of. Amanda

Lance and family will be there Fri and Sat. They are providing dinner Fri night and bfast on Sat morning. But they will then be leaving Sat night. But everyone is welcome to stay through Sunday or longer if they wish. So Fri-Sun is fine or Fri/Sat, whatever works for you. Amanda
