I'll be up there with my middle boy as well (his first deer tag...). I just sent you a PM. Good luck to your daughter!!! S.

I was in "A" this past weekend and saw plenty of deer. Only a few bucks, and just one nice one, but I was seeing deer none the less.... One thing I noticed was that I was seeing more deer during the last 1 1/2 hrs of light, as opposed to in the morning. This is a little different than in the past, as it seems like I generally have seen more deer in the AM than PM in the past. For what it's worth..... So did bucks you scouted dissapear, or what? I would just continue to hammer the areas you found bucks while scouting.... Good luck to your clients! S.

Nice buck! Thanks for sharing! S.

I'm one who didn't succeed in killing anything last weekend. Due to other commitments here at home, I only had 1 1/2 days to hunt. Saw plenty of does & fawns, and two shooter bucks (plus a smaller one) that somehow disapeared as I was stalking closer for a shot. I'll be back out in three weeks with my oldest for his 36A junior hunt though. S.

A great buck indeed (and a great write-up as well....). Thanks for sharing! S.

Way to go Keven!!!! Great couple of bucks! S.

Nice buck mulie hunter! I was down in 36A this past weekend as well. Saw a couple of bucks, but never got into shooting position. That's how it goes sometimes I guess though.... Jim is a VERY nice guy who is abosolutely passionate about deer (especially mulies... ). He and his son usually show-up at the 36A youth camp, and he is always interested in talking about deer, either mulies or coues. Lots of good info in that man' head! Congrats on the buck, and thanks for sharing. I like to see all of the family in the pics! S.

Here is the elk! Nice one Travis!!!!! S.

So how did it go on Saturday night? With all of that chili you cooked, I hope you didn't get stood-up Christian!!! Of course being the SPACE that I am, I showed-up at Christian's camp on Friday evening asking where the party was. After he reminded me that I was 24hrs early, I spent a couple of hours visiting with him and his father. I was looking forward to meeting a couple of more folks, but I guess I'll have to get my calendar strait next year.... Anyway, thanks for your hospitality on Friday Christian. I hope you all had a good time sharing stories on Saturday night. S.

Good for you Sout'm!!! I got one of the left-over tags as well, but didn't take a buck. Had a good time though... Thanks for sharing the story and pics. S.

Great buck, and awesome pictures!!! I love the hand-shake shot..... Good friends make the hunt! Kudos! Thanks for sharing. S.
-
BINGO Christian!!!!!!! Good for you! After leaving you guys on Friday night I went back to the area I had seen the bucks on Friday afternoon to sleep (nice visiting with you and your dad on Friday evening.....). Woke-up WAY before light and hiked in. Alas..... all I saw were does on Saturday AM and I had to pack-up to head back for my commitments here in the Valley on Saturday night. No deer for me this year, but Erik and I will be back at it in a couple of weeks for his junior hunt. I hope you had a good time Saturday night! Kudos on a great deer! S.

Doug provided some good info on the rainfall..... Weather is WARM Scott!!! Things haven't changed too drastically since the last time you were there though. Deer will still likely be in all the usuall spots (as far away from the roads as possible.... ). I'll be over in "A" this weekend poking around a bit. Heading-out late tonight after football practice! I'll then be there again for the junior hunt with my oldest. Good luck to you this year! S.

OUTSTANDING!!! Congrats to the young man! S.

Good clue Doug! Look within 1/2 mile of any highway that surrounds the unit.... Seriously though, Gabe (AZ G&F WM for 36A) should be sending out a letter to the youngsters anouncing this year's Youth Camp during the Jr. hunt. I'll be there with my boy for the hunt. We'll be looking for a muley as well (for some reason my boy likes the 'big' horns on those things....... ). Good luck! S.

October Get Together in 36's
stanley replied to azcouesandelk's topic in CouesWhitetail.com Get-togethers!
Hey Christian: Thanks for putting this together! I'll be down there on Thurs & Fri (36A), but I have a commitment here in the valley (Annual school auction/fundraiser for the kids school.....) for Saturday night. Regrets, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it... S. -
I somehow missed this post in the past week...... HUGE congrats to your son on his first kill! You're right about everyone needing to experience the thrill of watching their child (or someone else's....) kill their first big game animal. I've always loved hunting/fishing, but it really brings it to another level when you're able to get out there with the kids. Good stuff for sure.... Thanks for sharing the pics! S.

Quail Season!!!!
stanley replied to Red Rabbit's topic in Small Game, Upland Bird, and Waterfowl Hunting
Good show Doug! Congrats to you and Rica on getting into some good shooting. My experience was kind of like Jeepers....... We found coveys in all of our favorite honey-holes, but the coveys seemed a little small. Seemed like we were seeing 10-20 bird coveys as opposed to the 50-100 bird coveys that we sometimes get on opening weekend. Based on that, my report is that of an average - mediocre season in my normal haunts. No surprise for me though, based on the rain (or lack of it...). We'll still get out a bit this year though. My second boy is 10 now, and he's itching to work on his shot-gunning skills. Hopeful for good Mearns hunting over the winter though..... S. -
I know that when my son killed his NM elk a couple of weeks ago, that the work obviously started when the elk hit the ground (all fun up until that point.....)! Amanda, my buddy Terry, Erik, and myself went to work skinning & cutting right after that big boy was hung in a tree. FIVE hours later we had all of the meat either hanging in trees to cool or already on ice in one of the many icechests we brought (actually had to purchase additional icechest space at Walmart on the way home.... )! Lots of work, but we are obligated to put out this effort to ensure NO meat spoilage! Grilled-up some chops this weekend. Yummy! S.

Way to go Christian!!! Seems like you'll be retiring your rifles soon....... S.

Is it Camera Land or the shipper (UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc..)? Seems like if they shipped-it that they should be able to provide you with a tracking number that can be used to find the package? S.
