Didn't read nothing huntable so the AZGFD will probably be givin advice to the locals on how to fix it so you never will be able to hunt there.

Super pair of promo plates and decals!

Wow, you really set the bar high for your next coues. That is a nice buck, and especially with a bow. Congratulations on all the first places.

Scott that is an interesting way to pack gear. Is that a leg band on the rear leg in the last picture. Nice pictures

I think a lot of us are skeptical when it comes to pictures. Too many fakes have given need to really look things over before believing them. The internet is much safer if the "Doubting Thomas" is wake in all of us.

LOL...

Hey, man, I feel for you. Been there done that.... If the raw material is pretty fuzzy I have not seen a good program to make it look like it should have. Maybe NCIS or CSI people could but that is Television. My pics from my hunt his year turned out like crap too. Part of my problem was the camera was in MACRO for closeups, and once I found that out, my hunting was over. The mini screens on the cameras are nice but are so small that the detail is not visible. I would make a few suggestions to help prevent some of the fuzzy problems. 1. Check the Macro setting on your camera 2. Do not use digital Zoom unless you have the cameara mounted on a tripod. Optical zoom is much more manageble freehand. 3. Take your time and if any doubt exists in the quality of the pictures, take extra of the same shot, using different exposures. 4. Don't take a camera out in the field unless you are pretty familiar with the variable settings. Do overs are not much easier with a camera than with a gun.

Great story, afterall nobody likes flying rats. Unless it happens in AZ, then the AGFD would step in and eliminate all hunting of the birds to prevent damage to the pigeion population.

Why do you think politicians seem to enjoy kissing babies. It's at least partly Caus babies are a lot nicer to kiss than the other things they all kissed to get where they are.

Now that is the $64,000.00 question. Seems to me that they sponsor the guys that do not need the sponsoring. If you have the resources, you probably are a candidate.

Sorry to hear of your miss. I think a lot of us have been there! Casey I think you meant to say "that is why they call it hunting, not killing."

That is a dandy one in the middle! Interesting how something like that can sit for more than a year and no one else finds it first. I guess when we find bleached ones like that, the area must not get much human traffic.

Well, If you can get the deer to carry a flagstick.....A lot of golf rangefinders only have a 200 yard scale built in a monocular to reference the flag height for distance. Besides, I think it would be better suited for Birdies. Generally even better Golf rangefinders are not good for more than 400 yards at best and probably not your best choice for hunting. It really depends on the type and modle of rangefinder.

Super Tom there TAM. Seems like you can Always count on Josh's dogs to find those kittys! Did you guys get any video of the hunt?

If this is a fake, the faker had a good imagination! It used to be one might say, I will believe it when I see it... Now you have to add ... In person. Photoshoppery is difficult to spot when it is done by a pro. Bill, good eye for spotting that potential flaw.

Thank you all. Speaking of birthdays, do you realize that in 40 years there will be millions of old ladies running around with tatoos? BillQ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now that is a scarey thought..... Happy Birthday Bill. I sure hope you have MANY MANY more!

Sorry to bust a bubble but that cell phone calling is a boafide hoax.

Three Arizona surgeons were hunting coues and discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best surgeon in Arizona . In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England. The second surgeon said. "That's nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident, I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in track and field events in the Olympics." The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's butt. I was able to put them together and now she's a senator from New York.

Dang stupid idjut...

I think you made the right decision to go again today. If you put in a full day with help, You did give it the effort the wounded deer deserves. Sorry you didn't find him though. Don't give up bowhunting, just hone those skills till the next season.

No new equipment but I did get to try the No-Gut method of field dressing! Pretty slick, and I wil do it again on lopes and coues. Maybe even bigger game!

coocoo Sounds to me like you really are Sick this time! Just bite the bullet, Call in again and start where you left off. I bet he is within a couple hundred yards of where you lost him. If he was bleeding out while you trailed him for 1/2 mile and you had a clear trail most of the way, then He had to be running on empty. That much blood loss seems like it was a lethal shot. Wounded bucks often just hunker down in the most brush cover and try to wait you out! If nothing else, I bet you won't rush in again. Nuff said! This is not the same as bow hunting, but has some similarity that may be helpfull. I shot a buck about 10 years ago across a canyon. I shot 1 time and he stood there, shot again and he turned a bit and walked slowly off toward some heavy brush . I was floored that I could have missed a 150 yd shot straight across the canyon. I watched and never saw him come out of the brush so I hiked over and found NO blood, and no buck. I was mad and picked out a target spot on a hill about 150 yards away. I shot and Pegged it. Now I knew for sure I could not have missed 2 times, so I hiked all over in and around that brush down the ravine up the hill... After at least an hour. I had given up and was about to head home but one last look In the brush, about 20 yards from where I shot him, there he laid! Good Luck

I see why to took a while to post this one Josh. I am sure you had the jiteers over it. Unbelievable!

Ghost Story A professor from Scotland was at the University of Alabama giving a lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've seen a ghost?" About 40 students raised their hands. That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hands. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Three students raise their hands. That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses, and says, "Son, in all the years I've been giving this lecture; no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The big redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he is at the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?" Bubba replied, "Shiiiiit! From way back thar, I thought you said, "GOATS!'

SouthernCouesHunter Here is your link.Scoring help Amanda put a pretty easy to use and learn format together. Everyone may have a few quick reference points, like proportion to ears and spread but the rest is pretty quick to judge and get reasonably close after you do a few. I would add that the bigger they are, does not mean the better they taste!
