Very nice!! I found elk scat on the north side of the pinals this summer. Wasn't that old. And I know there are elk in the Hog Mtns which is not very far east of where you saw that cow. I think they are left over from the Cutter elk herd, which they say started from an accidental release of elk. here is what AGFD elk management plan says about elk in the Pinals and 24a: In Unit 24A, elk occur in two locations. Periodic observations of elk in and around the Timber Camp Mountains in the northern portion of the unit indicate presence of pioneering bulls and seasonal use by some cow elk. There is also a small number of elk in the Pinal Mountains but the elk habitat is poor. The Pinal Mountain elk are most likely remnants of the Cutter herd. Periodic observations of elk have been made within these areas of Unit 24A for several decades. Population levels seem to be remaining stable, at low densities, with no complaints from landowners or lessees. Proximity of these areas to the San Carlos Reservation may complicate management of elk in Unit 24A. Amanda

Awesome!!! Amanda

Thanks Tony!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! Amanda

Nice job waiting on the shot. You asked about comfortable shooting distances....mine is about 40 yards. Amanda

Python locks are a good option for locking your cam to a tree. You can get them in the CW store now. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm Amanda

Hey Casey, you gonna keep the skull from that badger? If not, save it for me so I can use in in educational presenations. Amanda

Very nice Doug! Merry Christmas everyone! Amanda

Cool badger!! Amanda

You guys crack me up. I like how there are over 20 replies and 1000 views of this thread that essentially has no content in it yet!! hehehe and the only participation by Grong has been to say he is sleeping!! LOL!! Wow, you guys are indeed a bunch of addicts! Come on Grong!!! They are going to pass out from excitement if you don't post up soon!! Amanda

Hi All, AZPackhorse has made a very generous offer. As many of you know, he has built himself a security box for the scoutguard trail camera he has. And now he is offering a FREE security box to the next person who orders a scoutguard trail camera (either the camo version or regular green) from me. Woo-hoo, what a deal! Thanks Brian!! Brian will be camo painting the lockbox shown below. So it will have a nice paint job on it before it gets sent out. You can order a cam on this page: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm here are the pics of his homemade security box:

Based on comparison of your pic to the AGFD aging guide, my guess is your lion was 10+ years old. Impressive! Amanda

Very nice! Thanks for digging up the pic. Amanda

WOW!!!! So, give us the scoop please! Amanda

Also, for those that have made donations, let me know if you would like me to send you a sticker. Some people want the large ones with the CouesWhitetail.com lettering and some like the smaller colored ones, but if you didn't put a note in with your donation, I will assume you don't want one. So if you do want one, send me an email and let me know. amanda@coueswhitetail.com http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/stickers.htm Thanks to all who have made donations!!! You guys have already covered the price of the additional 750GB internal harddrive I bought since I have run out of space and so I imagine the extra money will go toward getting a custom skin made for the forum for after Christmas or maybe toward the Coues Buck contest. Amanda

I will see your $25.00 and up it $5.00 I will also provide a $50.00 gift certificate towards parts or 10% off on labor for the Coues contest. For you that don't know. I own a small RV Parts and Service Center in Payson. I have not been to a movie in 30 years but I bet it would cost close to that much for a couple and a couple of kids. Pretty cheap entertainment if you ask me. Thanks Mike, that's a very nice donation!! Amanda

Cool, thanks for posting the pics!! Amanda

Hope you have a great birthday Hunting Girl!!! AManda

Wow, you got it bad!! Amanda

Wow, that's very generous!! Let me know which way you go on that offer sometime before the end of Jan so we can add it to the contest prize list. I love that pedestal you did, it's gorgeous! Amanda

No, I didn't....did someone hit you over the head with it?

I don't know if we saw that house or not, but my husband just reminded me that someone near the stadium (looks like about where it shows that house in the video) had a billboard up thanking the packers for all the great times or something like that. Might have been that family that put it up. I had fun enjoying fried cheese curds and a drink at Curly's pub at the stadium. It was just so much fun being there!! So much football history is there. Amanda

I wonder if the new Christmas skin has changed some of the word filter settings? The new skin is about the only really recent change I have made. I can go look. Amanda

I haven't added anything new in terms of profanity filters recently. You must just not swear very often, even in PMs. I don't even know if the forum allows us to have one filter for PMs and one for the main forum. But while we are on the subject, I sure would appreciate it if people not only didn't use profanity, but also didn't use the symbol substitutions (demonstrated so well by CouesNSheep in prior post, which by the way, I find amusing, but some just do not) as alternative ways to use profanity. I get complaints about it and the symbol substitution seems to be getting more common around here. It's kind of absurd to ban profanity but allow the symbol substitution stuff, so that's why I am asking to please just avoid profanity all together. Keep in mind we have families with kids that like to get on here. I sure appreciate everyone's cooperation and help with this. Amanda

Gino, I wasn't excluding you.....It's worse than that, I had you in, but had you at 3540! I will go switch it to 3450! Sorry. Everyone is free to double check the list and see if your number is on the board. Let me know if you see some kind of error. Amanda
