The guy had a bow and a jug of deer cocaine.... Here in Arizona,that is not 'muddy water'. Not saying he's a bad guy,just that he wasn't being ethical,and us responsible hunters have a duty to not turn a blind eye,in my humble opinion.

Absolutely you earned him, congrats!

Wow,now that's a dream coues spot!

Personally, I appreciate you saying something maverick. I think its the right thing to do in holding other hunters accountable for their actions. I don't have tolerance for non ethical hunters either, they make us all look bad,and they are flat out bad for the sport. So thanks

That is a nice lookin buck,cool bobcat pic with the kid!

That and an acute lack of morals...bummer man,I still haven't lost one, but I know the clocks tickin....

Isn't it nice to unwind from bowhunting with a morning of dove hunting?! Its almost like a vacation within a vacation...always look forward to sep 1!

When you are hunting a ground blind for a week without seeing more then a few doe,then a big bear comes walking up the valley and you let it walk by at 8 yards just so you don't spook the buck that's surely about to come out

Awesome,congrats!

I don't have any trouble finding dove in uncrowded areas during the early season.and,just like with any other hunting I do,if I run into other hunters I'm just not remote enough! Regardless,I'm just looking forward to Monday!

What a perfect mulie! Wow

Nice pics!

If you're in Tucson I'd like to come check it out

Yes,in late December early January!

Hey guys I've got a question.I've been hunting the same area for coues for several years, havent seen a bear in there in over a decade until the January hunt this year.then this weekend while hunting I had 3 different bears come through. Since last fall,the bucks I've been watching for years have seemed to leave the area,and it seems like I've seen them less and less as I see more bears around.do the bucks tend to avoid areas with bears?

Studs.

My 76 f250 just keeps on running too.its starts up and drives no matter how long its been sitting,every single time.they are the best trucks ever made! If only mine had a 7.3 in it,it would be absolutely perfect! Mine has been in the family since it was new,so I know about the hesitation to sell....I just can't do it either! Sorry Chevy lovers....I see at least 10 times the amount of ford trucks from that era still driving around...enough said!

I appreciate the answers.there have been very few,if any,bears in this area for at least the past decade. I was just wondering if the increase in bears did in fact influence the behavior of the more mature bucks.just always trying to learn something new in regards to ghost hunting!

Is it strange that we are still seeing the doe and young bucks in the area,just not the bigger bucks?

I've been seeing a ton in southern as,the most I've seen in a long time

That's a heck of a buck,congrats!

That's great , congrats on your first buck!

That's great man,congrats! Also,your picture of the bow hunter and the sunset is awesome!

Congrats,now I'm really chomping at the bit for tomorrow!

Heck yeah,we head out Friday after work.can't wait! Going after coues as usual, I won't arrow anything small,I have a late Dec tag,but hope i can help my brother arrow his first ghost.good luck fellas!
