	How tall and how much do they weigh? How much packing have they done?

	Perfect coues deer rifle! You can shoot them from camp.

	Where did you get the llamas? I thought I was the only guy in AZ hunting with llamas.

	I’ve got pack llamas. What hunt do you need them for? arizonallamas.com

	  Rage 3-blade broadhead SUCK!?!?!Gila Monster replied to AZ_Native's topic in Bowhunting for Coues Deer I'm not a fan of mechanical broad heads but I've had great luck with Rage 3 blades. I've killed 3 or 4 elk with them. One was shot at 70 yards with a 50 pound bow. The broad head still penetrated through the lower chest and into the "armpit" on the other side. I shot an antelope and a couple of javelina with them. I've never lost an animal since using those. Still the best broad heads I've ever shot are my traditional Wensel Woodsman I shoot out of my longbow. Everything I've ever shot with them has died in a short distance. They make a wound channel like a shotgun slug. I shoot about 180 fps with that bow and 540 g arrows.

	Great job Turbo! Getting to or even drawing a bow that close to a coues deer and getting away with it is VERY difficult. I have been hunting with a custom longbow from Bob Morrison for years and have taken a coues with a Damon Howatt recurve but have yet to make a selfbow. I've cut some staves of various woods and tried making a bow from cedar but it blew up. As you know selfbows in AZ have a limited lifespan.

	  Fall 2015 Draw-What Units to Apply for Desert Bighorn?Gila Monster replied to Jay Scott's topic in Bighorn Sheep Hunting Just finished listening. Great info. I really appreciate what you have done with these podcasts and your website to help educate folks about sheep and sheep hunting.

	I'm using the power of positive thinking here... I have two less than the max points for sheep and am ready to draw a tag. I'll never draw the most popular units because they are used up by the max points 20% draw so I'm looking at other areas. I would like to have a good chance get a nice 160-170 ram or better. I am looking at units that are less popular and/or have bad access to reduce the competition and to up the adventure. I'm thinking about 37B, 24B Superstitions Wilderness, 46B west, 41E. I've seen sheep in 37b but haven't seen any big rams. Does anybody know what's living there lately? Any info on the other areas? Thanks.

Never slowed him down then. He will probably beat this one too. Spend enough on lawyers and you can usually get off. Ask OJ.

	Way to go! Got my heart pumping now.

	I've been shopping for a lightweight rifle for back pack hunting and the Rem 260 and 6.5 Creedmoor seem to be the sweet spot with good trajectory but mild recoil for a lightweight rifle. I've been looking at the Savage 11/111 lightweight hunter at 5.5 lbs. I don't care much for the looks of it though.

	I watched several bucks chasing does and making rubs and scrapes in 22 this weekend. Biggest buck was around 90".
- 
	They are here if you know where to look.
