I have edited the post. You're new around here Coues poacher, and you apparently don't understand what this site is about. Take your weak racist comments elsewhere, please. Oh, and BTW, you might want to educate yourself a little bit on your whole 'right to freedom of speech' comment. That applies to public speaking. This is considered a private forum, and free speech doesn't really exist. It is the site owner who has the right to decide what will and will not be published on this site. S.

No, I do not think a change in the law(s) is warranted. If you let another hunter tag an animal you killed (as you indicated was your intent) and/or killed more than your limit, you should face the consequences as they are based on the current laws, IMO. S.

Family, friends, and some elk to hunt! Awesome!!!! (Looks like you guys know how to camp, too! ) Good stuff right there! S.

Possibly check-out some of the youth opportunities in New Mexico? (I'm not certain of their draw deadlines.....) My oldest son and I, who is now 23, went on a Junior hunt in New Mexico unit 34. It was a great hunt! Good luck!! S.

OK, It's super rare for me to go on a rant, but here it comes..... Up early having my coffee and doing a bit of work while watching the news. Just saw a story on this tragedy, along with video. The area shown in the video (with people firing during the news report) did not look at all like any kind of safe firing range. The terrain was gently sloping-up without any kind of solid or clear natural back-stop. Just a gently sloping hill littered with targets, rocks, and creosote. Be sure of your target and beyond? Um, not at this place..... Who the heck would ever target shoot there??? Unbelievable! S.

Ugh, yes she died. VERY sad! https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/southwest-valley/2018/01/15/24-year-old-kami-gilstrap-dies-after-being-struck-stray-bullet-buckeye/1034092001/

I'm curious what the land status is at the Miller location you guys are referencing? (North of I-10?) Just out of curiosity, I was looking at that area on my onX Hunt ap. Seems like a crazy checkerboard of private land, state land, National Guard land, Flood Control district land, etc... Can someone share the exact location? Again, just curious.... Thx! S.

That's a VERY nice buck! Check out those eye guards and mass! LOVE a big ol' Sonoran Desert mule deer!! Good show! S.

+1 on any good seamstress operation. What part of town are you in? My daughter & ex-wife swear by Valentina's Bridal (12th Street and Northern). S.

Awesome deer! VERY awesome that you stuck with it!!! Good on you for that! S.

What site did you check? I've had good luck with lakepowel.com http://www.lakepowell.com/houseboating/deluxe-houseboats/ Ever done it before? It is an AMAZING way to spend a week! Good luck! S.

Wondering if the one you got just happens to be tight..... Possibly machined/sewn just outside of their normal desigh pattern (defect)? I have two Eberlestock packs. Have never dealt with their customer service, but I assume they might take it back and give you a different one that isn't so tight? Good luck! S.

+1 on the dark antlers!!! Very cool rack! No matter what the antlers though, it is VERY awesome for the young man! Thanks for sharing! S.

Awesome! Nothing like being with a young one when they kill their first deer (or second, third, etc....)!! S.

Ugh...... Sorry man, just can't take the bait! lol I could argue both ways! They would both be amazing trophies, as long as I was over my son or daughter's shoulder when they made the shot!! S. PS: I guess I will take the bait. I'm such a poor long range shot and horrible archery hunter, either one would be a miracle. I'm thinking a BIG coues would be pretty amazing though, so I'll hit the long range shot button!

Yup, that all makes sense! I have not had a wall tent before, but have heard that one of the advantages of canvas over what I currently have (Alaknak synthetic....) is that the canvas breaths much better. That's why it surprise me to see the tarp. Your reasoning makes sense though. Thx! S.

Looks like a great set-up! I've used an Alaknak for years, and have been consdering a wall tent for my next one. Question: Why use the tarp over the canvas? Thanks! S.

Screamer deal for a Just One! Wish I needed another.... Good luck! Should sell quick. S.

EXCELLENT!!!! Very awesome! S.

Suppose you missed my point. I would give anything for just one more day hunting with my dad. Sincere good luck finding that buck!

Sounds like either way, that you are having an epic hunt! Good luck on finding something with horns, and treasure that time with your dad!! S.

Fake news. Nike has not cut ties with the Cowboys. https://www.snopes.com/nike-cowboys/

Heading to the airport in about an hour to pick-up one of my oldest friends. All loaded-up!! Will pick him up and drive directly South to one of the border units. Cots under the stars tonight, with a 4AM wake-up tomorrow to hike the three miles in the dark to our glassing spot. Glass glass the morning, then spend tomorrow setting-up a proper camp for the next 5 days. There will be several good friends, plus my son in camp. I have that feeling like it's Christmas Eve! Good luck to everyone!!! S. PS: Lance, I suspect you'll find a way to keep yourself busy! You always do! The Junior Camps are always looking for mentors/glassers.

Wow, that sucks! Also strange since some of the guys were posting some pretty darn good reports earlier this past summer. Bummer!!!! Like a lot of folks, I used to go up there at least once per year. We would fish up higher than the White/Black confluence, but still the lower portion of the river. Of course used to be outstanding. This summer we had pretty good luck again in some of our old favorite areas. Seemed like maybe it was finally starting to come back. Sucks if it is taking a turn for the worse....

Anyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute FREAK for Junior hunts! My kids are all young adults now, so their official youth hunting days are over. I'm of course fortunate to still hunt with them whenever possible, even though adulthood, college, life, etc. makes it harder to corral them up. In fact, I'll be out on the early hunt with my oldest son next weekend, and I can't wait! I know we'll be reliving many of the old times around the fire, and that is awesome to think about! That being said, I of course can't help but notice all of the success stories and pics being posted this year! Maybe folks are just posting more success stories or something, but it feels like this has been a great year! There are over 30 recent success stories here in the Youth Hunters forum! Keep posting them up!! SO AWESOME!!! Keep getting them out there moms, dads (and all other mentors)! Good stuff!!! S. PS: I hope to be down at the 36A Jr. camp helping out over Thanksgiving weekend! Say hello if you have a kid there!
