There is a good bunch of Emil McCains photo's posted on the Borderland Jaguar Detection Project website. He puts a copyright mark on the lower left part of all his photos. That is the part missing from your frends phots(wonder why?). in comparing the photos, it is NOT Macho B which is the one that has been photographed about 60 times so far. I didn't see anything that I could call difinitively as Macho A right side to compare spot paterns, so it could be him, or it could be the one that Warner Glen has photographed twice in the Pelocenillos just north of the border that was caught on a trail cam.

I was told that a jag was taken in southwest NM on a USFWS sting operation on a southeast AZ "outfitter/guide" years ago after jags became verbotten. Doug~RR That was the one killed in the Dos Cabeza's mountains by one of the Klump family. He moved his guiding operation over to NMex. and that is where they busted him.

One of the guys at work got some photos of a black small cat down on the San Pedro from a trail camera. We know that it is not a jagurandi because of the big fluffy tail of a feral house cat.

One time wihile working on the NE side of the Galuiro's, I noticed that I was seeing a lot of whitetails up on an open grassy ridge. When I dropped off into the bottom, I found a dead Mule deer doe that had been completely eaten by a female lion and three large kittens judging by the tracks. Crossing over the ridge again and dropping into the next canyon, I saw more deer on the ridge in the open grassland, and found a lion killed calf in the bottom of the canyon. It was obvious that the deer had moved up into the open grassland to escape the lions that were prowling the area. Later rides in the area found the deer back in the brushy pockets and bottoms. So the short answer is yes, they do move back in, but I dont know how long after the lion moves out that they go back.

The two year old 3 X 3 that I killed in 36C last year still had velvet shreds hanging on December 29!!

Never mind what the environmentalist say about the condors, think about your families. After I saw this study, I was sold on using the Barnes bullet (besides everything I have shot with them has died quickly). Take a good look at the table at the beginning for the numbers of lead fragments left in the carcasses after they had been gutted. A lot will be removed when you cut up the meat, but the rest will be what you and your families will be eating. http://www.peregrinefund.org/pdfs/Research...radiographs.pdf And no, I do not work for a bullet manufacturing company.

Thanks for sharing, it brings back lots of good memories of traveling around the state

He certainly does not care where he is when he gets a little nookie

I have found more whitetail at the higher elevations of unit 21, usually where they have more permanent water in areas like Pine Mountain Wilderness, and Cedar Bench wilderness. With that said, I have also seen them near Black Canyon City in the canyons below Perry Mesa. Every thing in between is pretty much carp country.

Here is where the EZ ranch is located.

I think that is probably the same property that once housed Kent Henry's Arizona Hunt Club. That was a put-&-take bird -- pheasant, chukar, bobwhite quail -- shooting preserve, but they also had a very challenging sporting clays course that humbled me more than once. -TONY The EZ ranch is not the one that Kent Henry had the Arizona Hunt Club on. EZ is east of cordes Junction on the Agua Fria River in unit 21. Az Hunt club was north of cordes in 19B. EZ has had red deer, fallow deer and buffalo for at least the last 20 years. If the animals get loose, they would be trespassing on state or BLM land(Agua Fria National Monument) and the owner could be subject to losing his grazing leases and monetary penalities.

It almost sounds like somebody else was rude to the rancher but yours is the only name they remembered because you were doing it right so they used you for the excuse. Have you contacted the Public Land management agency for the area to see if there is other ways into the area?

I still don't know what these non-lead bullets are made of. If you get full-body penetration from end to end at 50 yards on a Coues deer and side-to-side on a sheep at 300 yards it means they're not expanding much. Whatever it is, I'd like to have some in .22 caliber for my .22/250. They sound for for coyotes, bobcats, and javelina. They shouldn't tear things up too much. I don't want them for an elk, though. The Barnes STX are a controlled expansion bullet. The one on on the deer expanded to about double diameter with the the petals remaining intact except the one that broke off on a bone. The one on the sheep left a decent sized exit hole, about what you would expect from a lead .270 bullet

I have used these in my .270 for some years. Dropped my sheep with one shot through the chest at 300 yds. Went clear through him. Dropped a coues in his tracks last year at 50 yds with a texas heart shot. Recovered the bullet under the skin on the other end, it stayed together pretty well.

I already have one of these on the wall, now I need the Rocky Mtn one.

Pulled 2 cameras that I had out today. The digital card said it was blank, but the old fashioned film type had this boiy on it.

Still using my Case XX two blade folder that I have had for over 30 years. It did the job(gut, skin,bone out) on a deer, antelope and an elk all in one year and just needed a light touch up between animals.

He still has copies of the book available

we made Jam when I was a kid, but we never knew if we would end up with jam or syrup. I think my mother would put in extra sugar and pectin to get it to set up into jam.

Well my wife has been wanting to get on this site lately and Jim you just gave her the name.Mrs.Huntn coues!! Hopefully it does not become "Mrshuntncoueskillsbiggerchitthanhuntncoues. Tell her to get signed up! I'm glad I could help with her name.....it fits! Now how about this pic for her avatar It fits also It is called an aye-aye

Tony is right, any burro's on or having access to federal land are protected. (Guy's are doing jail time for shooting them) The feds do gather and ship out 6-900 from AZ every year. They take 25 to 50 from the lake plesant area every year. Most of them go to the Mid-west or the east coast to be pets.

The person to contact at G&F is Matt Walton. He is the access coordinator for the Tucson region and helps organize and conduct several cleanup's a year, He also has tools and access to roll-offs to dispose of the trash in. the Forest service is always happy to have volunteer groups help clean up the trash in the reddington area. I cant remember who the contact would be at the Catalina Ranger district, but give them a call and they will put ypu in contact with someone, unless they are in Montana or Idaho fighting fire. The guys from Sportsmans warehouse showed up with several coolers full of iced down bottloes of water at one we had earlier this year, so be sure to give them an invite, or at least get the information to them and they will get it out to interested people.

As a former board member of adbss, and an agency employee that works with G&F to construct projects, I can assure you that there is very little overhead taken out of the funds raised by the various raffles. G&F presents a list of projects that are reviewed by a commitee and then approved by the board of directors for the organization, so there are several checks and balances by the sportsmen to guarantee that the maximum amount of money goes to habitat and wildlife on the ground. we also need to remember that all of those $$'s from the non-residents benefit OUR wildlife, and they only get the satisfaction of helping out in hopes that one day they too may get the opportunity to hunt here.
