Thanks. I am getting excited. Have a junior hunter to take for a tune-up before my hunt. We will be up in 1 and 27. Lots of fun to be had in the next few weeks. Here is a link to a little story I wrote of the junior hunter my brother and I helped out last year. Should help get the junior hunter's ready to go. http://www.azgfd.net/hunting/hunting/junio...tom/2008/08/29/

They are gobbling good in 3C, also in 24A. Gobbling at nearly any noise they hear. Turkeys I have seen are still in big bunches. 8-9 gobblers with 20-40 hens. Look for them to be breaking up into small groups real soon.

Nothing for me

3130 Sep 11 - Sep 24, 2009 22 Bull elk

It say's not available but go all the way through to results and they are there. No joke I promise. May I never draw another permit in my life if I am lying.

Flippin' Sweet Gino!!! It sure is nice to have a problem of too many coues skulls .

Great Collection of Bone!!! Here are some of my archery deer mounted on an elk shed. Brian

I got an ok tag in AZ. Goulds turkey in 29

Doug, It was amazing. If he would of bugled, it would have been like elk hunting. Yeah he pinned his ears back and would cock his head sideways and he had that kind of bowed up sideways walk to him. He stopped twice on the way in to beat on ocitillos (sp?). Each time he stopped I would grunt and bleat, and he would then just lay his hears back and come on a beeline. I'll go ahead and let someone have my elk tag, that way I will have time for my sheep tag

Here is my buck shot at 8:10am this morning. Glassed him up about 500 yards away. Moved in on him to 175 yards then called him in using a grunt tube and primos can to 40 yards where I drilled him. Not a monster buck but I liked him. Brian

I am from a trapping family. We haven't trapped since leghold traps were outlawed on public land. Odds are the lion has not been caught for very long. Almost always the lion will pull free or break the trap. They are too powerful for the trap. We have had traps broke quite a few times by lions. We have never walk up on a lion in a trap. I have a good friend that has trapped the San Carlos for a very long time. Except for this year as his knees just won't allow him to do it. He has never caught a lion as they have always pulled loose or broke the trap. That is a very unique experience indeed.

Way to go!!! Nice job!!! How much penetration was in the skull? I have seen pigs hit between the eyes that had less that 2" penetration. Again, congrats.

Not really, there is only 364 days to go

Congrats!!Great Buck!!

Let's see, I have 10 fingers, 10 toes x 293/.042+2 to the 4th power-some more and that will be 3,244 beans.

Way to go Wayne. Awesome buck. When you told me you were going with the Goodman's, I knew you were in good hands. Just didn't know it would be that good . Congradulations. Brian

Here are a few I found while scouting for deer a couple weeks ago. One even got a little frisky

They are now online. Link: http://www.azgfd.gov/eservices/documents/2...pe_WEBNOOHV.pdf

I was able to take my nephew on his first rifle coues deer hunt which was in unit 23. I first found this buck on Wed. morning chasing a doe and knew that he was the kind of buck we were looking for. Friday morning came and the hunt didn't last long as I glass two bucks with a doe within 5 minutes of starting to glass. The big one was the one we wanted. After figuring out a plan to get closer we were able to close to 300 yards. The first shot went right over his back, the buck walked a couple of steps and the second shot put him right down. The hunt was over by 8:15 am. He is a great buck. Here are some pics of Paul and his buck. The buck scores 103" gross.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Paul really appreciates it. He may be hooked now. Only thing he didn't realize was the work after shooting the buck, the quartering and the pack out. He is still sore. Anyway thanks for taking the time to look at the pics and post the kind words. Thank you. Brian

No, this is his first rifle coues. He has killed a spike coues with his bow though.

Been in 23 the last two mornings and have found some great bucks really chasing does hard. Now if I can just get my nephew on one of them tomorrow.

No goulds tag yet

Nice job Casey!! Great looking buck!!!
