Big Browns

A friend and I went scouting yesterday for the upcoming Archery Deer hunt. Neither of us expected to see anything out of the ordinary, but we were wrong. We found 3 deer that by our estimates will all be record book Deer. We think the biggest will go well over 100 if not around 110. Of course it's hard to tell at this point, but they were huge, lots of mass and alot of growth. 2 4x4's and 1 3x3, all we could say when we saw the big one was HOLY #@$% that's a TODE. We also saw 2 small Muley bucks. Before this weekend I wasn't sure whare I was going to spend my time in September, I know now.

I spent alot of time this past January during the archery hunt. I spent most of it west of sunflower and west of MT. Ord. We didn't see much. We saw most of our deer around Payson, North West of Rye. If I were you I would go higher around Payson. If you need any more help feel free to give me a call and I will try to point you in the right direction. Adam (928)595-1554

What animal are you looking for? Whitetail or Coues deer?

I would Highly suggest getting a pair of Brunton Eternia's. I currently have there 11x45 and will be getting there 15x56 soon. The 11x45 are 420 at sportsman's and the 15x56 are 500. I've been using mine for about a year now and I love them. I haven't seen any other glass in this price range that's compatable, atliest with my eyes. They are definately worth looking at. Good Luck. Adam

Im elated, I got drawn for 22 south Bull. This will be my first Elk hunt. I cant wait for November. Im going scouting this weekend. I dont know the area real well so Im gunna get started. YEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE. Adam

I just wanted to take some time to introduce myself. I've recently discovered CouesWhitetail.com and I have now found a reason to live during the off season... I've discoverd hunting 3 years ago and to say the least it has consumed my every wakeing thought. I love the thrill of the chase and the gratification of success. I do count my blessing's, for the short time I've been hunting I've met some great mentor's wich have led me to the few success's I have had. I was fortunate to have taken a MD in 05 and a fat desert pig(my favorite) this past January, Both with my bow. Hopefully the upcoming draw results will lead me to a Monster Elk, but Im not holding my Breath. Anyway I love the site and look forward to contributing to it. Sincerly Adam Young

Thanks, I will be e-mailing you soon. Adam

I can finally breeth. Im going scouting this weekend. I know it's a little early, but I cant wait to get out there. 22 South Bull YEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE. It should be a hard, but really fun hunt. Adam

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. 22 South in November. Should be a tough, but fun hunt. First time hunting for Elk and my second time putting in, I hope my luck continues. Adam

It sounds like were all going to be sweating are butts off. Im going to be hunting unit 1 so it should be nice an cool, but if that doesn't work I'll be in the desert. If any of you guys want to save money on gas while scouting let me know I would'nt mind looking at some new area's or showing people new area's. Adam

I bet there all running around like chickens with there heads cut off!

SwitchBack, Any luck yet. Im praying the charge doesn't go away, I've heard some have. Adam

My CC got hit thismorning for 156.00. I guess Were hunting Elk. I sure hope it's a Bull. I hope this doesn't mean we have to wait another week for the draw results. Adam

Another year listening to everyone elses elk hunting stories. Congrats to all who did get the CC hit. Im still hopeing against hope, but I dont see much sunlight in the tunnel. Adam

I sure hope it's today. Im so freaking excited, My CC had a hit for 156.00. I guess My buddy and I are hunting Elk. The CC hit came up this morning. Please God be a BULL tag. Adam

Provideing I dont get drawn I'll have: 2 Elk, 1 Deer, 1 Turkey, 1 Lope, 1 sheep and 1 Buffalo. That adds up to not getting a tag for alot of years. Thank God I love Archery. To bad I suck at finding Deer. Adam

Brent, You have given me a reason to live again. Congrats. I bet it feels good to feel your heart beating again! Adam the HOPEFULL

I heard the paper applications are sent to Paryville Prison, and the Female Inmates input the information into the computer for the Game and Fish. Providing this is true, I think I might find me a couple of hunnies behind bars that might be willing to help me Draw a nice fat Elk tag. Anyone else in? I think I might be getting Desperate! Adam

Switchback, I did to untill I ran out. I think I need to shave my head before I pull it all out. I fear the only cure for me Illness is a TAG. Adam

I think Im going to go to church everyday this weekend. Maybe that will help.

I've been flyfishing Canyon Creek alot the past couple of months and have yet to see a turkey. Before the fire I rarely drove the rode in without seeing a couple dozen Turkey. Has anyone been seeing any birds down there or have the birds not moved back in the area, Or I could be blind. I may not be seeing any birds, but the fishing has been pretty good. Not like it used to be, but pretty good considering what the creek went through. Adam

Good to hear someone has seen Turkey. With all the sparce vegitation and trees it should be a fun area to hunt the next couple of years. Thanks Adam

Switchback, welcome to the board. I've only been a member for a couple of weeks, but I've come to think of the site as my second home. Everyone has been really nice and helpfull. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I have. Adam

Yeah, I have seen a ton of Elk, More than I used to. I did see a wolf a month ago as well. Alot of fresh bear tracks, but I've yet to glass one. Atliest the fishing has been decent. Adam

My heart doctor will be sending you a bill.
