This. And I'd look for something used. What they want for the newer ones is ridiculous imo.

First time for every thing https://kvoa.com/news/2020/04/18/rare-coatimundi-attack-at-coronado-national-memorial/

I always think I'm gonna hunt the summer. Then summer rolls around and I'm like f that. And I live at 4500'! I do want to get a big velvet coues someday though. Maybe this is the year. But probably not.

Does post have it's own hunt number? Thought it was part of the regular 35a draw? Didn't know about cams on post either.

Maybe. I hear so many different theories I dont even know what to believe is true.

Read the other day that heat doesn't kill it off like the flu so that's a little disheartening.

Somebody needs to buy this before I pick up a hobby I dont have time for!

Clayton Bigsby gonna be there too!

I swear they just make those so they could apply to anyone...

Well as of this morning we have been officially stimulated. It's time to go try on banana hammocks.

Gonna have a party. Lots of hookers and blow and your invited. For dudes a banana hammock is the only appropriate attire.

Welcome to the forum and also to AZ! I live here in town id be happy to take you out sometime. What do you have gear wise? You need a tripod for sure, a decent set of glass is equally important too. The standard is a pair of 15s but a good pair of 12s is good too. Ideally the priceier the better but if you have a skinny budget a pair of viper 15s are good enough, Luckily you have access to land that I don't and there are some great deer on post. Deer draw has not happened yet and I would not expect to kill one with a bow your first year out, so I'd still put in for a early rifle tag when the time comes. Just screwing around on a lunchbreak I took a buddy up to the lookout when we were working on post, mid day in the summer we still glassed up deer right from there. Since its early I'd focus on finding some water holes off the beaten path. I got some salt blocks left from a bison hunt I won't use anytime so you can have a couple. I'd set some cams on water with the salt and hope for a bruiser to show up on cam form the summer hunt.

Nada for Kev, Curse the last name Swavely!!!

Think he was referring specifically to the head

That's a powerline antler if I've ever seen one!

That would keep me going for a whole weekend!

Oops ya I'm on crack. Misread, thought ot said 1.5 oz. Not grams!

The ability to make $2500 + per day worth of gold is freaking sweet! I'd love to be out doing that!

He got to ride in an Audi, pretty fancy. I'm glad you didnt get shot walking into the wrong person's backyard to pick him up for me.

Where'd you find it?

Ok here's one after the kill, note the 1st pic is decieving, it makes his left side look bigger then he actually is. Wife knows how to take a good pic! ok this guy comes in at.. 98.75 gross and 96.5 net score.

Ok here's a bigger one next to the first two. this guy comes in at 90 5/8" gross and nets 86.25"

Interesting note, skull sizes vary wildly by age of animal. I was surprised by the size of the last one I posted which even though he basically is 70" his skull was much smaller then the mature buck I killed last january. I only mention this because we often use the deers ears as a point of reference. Next measure is the only deadhead I've ever found.. here he is next to the first 2. Any guesses while I measure?

Agreed!
