Arizona Griz

My sheep money showed up today also. Now where the heck is my antelope money.

I am the same way. I really don't find it a problem.

I use the 20 Pentax's. Get a lot of heat waves but they are pretty clear. Great bang for the buck.

Great bear, sorry about the loss of the hide.

Looks like a real nice one.

I haven't tried the lighter bullets in my old .270. I shoot Remington 130 grain Core-Lokts.

Nice assortment of animals especially the coati.

Very nice buck, mount and field photo.

I couldn't have said it any better. but keep in mind if you have indeed found a good area then somone already knows about it. I would think finding "sign" would be a better indicator than visual sightings of deer.

Does look like a paw mark. Excellent pictues. You are on top of the world.

The trophy is in the eye of the beholder.

He's going to be a nice buck.

Very, very nice. Definitely a shooter.

Same old guns, scopes, binos, etc. but I got a new 4WD truck to get me to camp.

Very good info on the snake bite Amanda. I would think one of the biggest fears would be permanent paralysis.

Caught a deer and an elk in the same picture.

I will stick to the spray bottle on the shelf Tony. Scent Shield for me.

Cool picture.

Looks like he will end up having a pretty nice rack.

More animal populations and less human populations. That should do it. But I could live with just less people.

I already picked that 3 days ago.

I looked it up on the website. It is in Unit 33. There are also two Ranch Only landowner tags. I don't think there is a way of know how many public hunters are assigned to it. If it is a 1:1 ratio then there could be 4 hunters hunting the ranch.

According to the G&F website you are not supposed to scout the ranch until 2 days before the hunt. Sure doesn't give you much time. I would try to continue contacting the rancher and see if he will allow you to come a little earlier to check it out (I don't know if this is a violation or not). Also ask him if he has any landowner tags. This will give you an idea of what your competition is. I was also east of Roswell heading to Lovington this year and didn't see very many from the highway.

I know they used to have an antelope hunt there many, many years ago.

I don't know any ranch names but I have made 2 trips thru Roswell this year. I saw lots of antelope along the highway north of Roswell on the way to Vaughn.
