Bucks_N_Yotes

I was up their for the hunt on the last of October. Saw a few doe's and a few hundred hunters. Every spot that I spent countless hours scouting either had someone camping about 100' from the canyon edge, or I would sit down, start glassing and glass up about 10 others doing the same thing. One morning I saw about 25 antalope, and on the way back to camp had a huge toad of the mullie type jump out in front of me. We had a camp that was behind us and on Sat night, they were poping off rounds for a few hours, That was a buch of BS. Tough hunt, but had a great time. Didn't get to harvest anything, so I hope others had better Luck!

Nice Pics, and its hard to believe that there is water in the wash this time of year!!

Looks like someone did him a favor!!!!

Congrats on the nice buck!! Good to hear that some were taken!

I should be up their around five in the morning if everything goes well. I was up their for a short time on Sunday, it was to dang windy!! I will keep my eyes open for you guys!!

I have been up that way before, and saw a few in that area. I think I am going to start off thrs morning on the south side of 260 off of the powerlines, check a few water holes and canyons, then I will have to run up your way and catch up with you guys!

I think that I will be camping off of the 9247B on the south east side. I have a red f350, and a camo ranger. TwoGuns, what side of the powerlines and where about do you think that your going to be?

Called in five this past saturday, killed 3, and this past monday, called and killed 2. Been seeing alot more than that running around!!

I used to work with BLM as a firefighter, and in the off season I was detailed out to the survey dept. My first job was to help re-establish BLM/private property lines in the Agua Fria National Monument. Guess whose property was in tresspass on to BLM Land? EZ Ranch. I spent about a month at and around his ranch, He may well have about 2k acres, but let me tell you he didn't skip a beat on putting up the biggest fence he could. There were alot of inner pasture fences, and most of the time that we were there the Red Deer would all be hanging out by their shop!! I never saw the Boars, but then again, it was five years ago, and he really didn't want us around. Beautiful deer, and if they chase them up the hill on the NW corner, I would say that it would be amost fair chase. The buffalo that I saw where in smaller pens.

Just wondering if any of you have been seeing lions out when you were scouting?I saw one this past weekend when I was out scouting around Camp Verde. I was about to take a shot at it when it vanished from my sight! Guess thats the way it goes some days.

Called in two Lions in 6A last weekend! The frist one I didn't see till I got back on the ranger, standing in front of me at 50yds, which I some how missed!!!! Called the other in about 3 hours later, and that one never gave me a shot Also saw a alot of fresh bear tracks and scat in a few different areas!

Right now, I am getting about 18-20 on the highway, as long as I am not going up north, then I drop to 15-18, depending on the load I have gotten up to 22mpg Just put a new Transmission in last week, so the trans has a 3yr/75k mile waranty at any ford dealer in the USA!!!!!

I have a red '99 F-350 7.3L for sale! It has 162000 miles, 4x4, Power doors, windows, mirrors, and driver seat, rear sliding window, tow package with removable Gooseneck ball in bed, running boards. Tires are 285/70/R16 and have about 75-100% tread. Billit grill, and costom rear dimond plated tube bumper. Truck runs great, and looks sharp. My HOA keeps sending me letters cause I park it in the cultisak, not in my drive way. To many cars! Asking 15000 OBO Will try to post pic tonight!

Here's the Pic

Thats no joke! I had a tree in my front yard blow over last Sat when we had a storm blow through. I got a fine in the mail this past wed, I picked up the tree and cleaned it up on monday!!!!!

You should pick up Predator Xtreme! This months issue will help you change your thinking on passing on those cute little critters! If I remember, read the article on page 2 or 3 that is by Ralph Lermayer. I never pass on a chance to take out coyotes. I have seen like others what they can do first hand. Skining is a great idea as long as the pelt is good, Oct to Feb! If you need more info contact one of the couple Varmit Clubs in the state, Phoenix Varmit Callers Inc, and Arizona Predator Callers. I know theirs more clubs that I am not thinking of. Here are a few links to check out: http://www.predatorxtreme.com/index2.asp http://www.pvci.org/pvci/index.htm http://www.azpredatorcallers.com/ Any of those sites will be able in one way or another answer your questions and be able to help you out!

Carful with those Hankooks, I have been threw 10 tires in the past 4 years with my F350, and all were hankook FR04s I think. They don't hold up very well. Lots of punctures, seams spliting and they seem to be more prone to cupping! I will not be buying a nother set of those. I put Terra Dune Grapplers on my 04 Dodge Ram and they have been doing great. I put about 200 miles on them a day on and off road. They handle well in the mud so far and as much driving I do in the fields and washboard roads, they are great! 285-R70 run about 220 a peace!

I was calling yotes neer Gila Bend, and had about 20 of them come out of the pushes to see what was going on. I couldn't tell which one was the coyote, so I didn't shoot I have come across huge piles of bikes that they ride from Mexico, and stash out in the desert. Good luck with calling BP! I can't tell you the number of times that I have called them and never saw a single person come to pick them up. Last year, I was heading out to make a stand in my friends Yukon, which was riding on those nice 20's and I had BP chase me down and pull me over. I looked to the south and his partner was about a quarter mile away doing brodies in the desert, throwing a rooster tail of dirt and dust a mile high! You should have seen the guys face when he came up to my buddys car and saw a few ARs on the seat and he couldn't get his partner on the radio. After we told him we were out hunting yotes and started asking about his partner who was still tearing up some ground he told us to have a nice day!!!!!!!

Hey congrats on the beautiful goat!!

I have been puting in for mule deer for the past six years in 39 and never got drawn. Our farm is in unit 39 and their is quite a hurd of deer. The problem we are having out in the area is that people (mexicans) that work in the area, are killing them left and right, and we havn't been able to catch them in the act. I don't bow hunt, yet, but there are 4 really nice bucks that are regulars in the fields in the morning and evening. There are 3 good sized hurds of atleast 30 plus that G&F for some reason can never get on survey. I would like to see if any of you would be intrested in hunting these mullies. There is one huge 4x5, 2 4x4s and one 3x3. all four of those deer have really nice racks and stout bodies. I have been drooling over them for the past few years! I would much rather a fellow hunter be able to take the deer not a bunch of poaching corn holes!

I am not about to give out this info to just anybody. I have worked hard the past 6 years on getting lot of my fellow farmers land available to hunt. We have watched the deer hurds grow over the years and just hearing that they are being poached is very upseting. We run a tight ship and over the last 4 years we have been working with G&F and their Ranch Access program. It has really weeded out the rift raft and make some great friendships. After my sixth year of not getting drawn I tryed my luck elsewhere and got luckey this year. Who ever asked about the coyotes, there are alot of them out and about, but most of them are going to be very challanging. I havn't been drawn in six years so you do the math! Thanks to those that have responded. If you just joind looking for a quick idea, your looking in the wrong spot!!!!!!! Ben

Thats good to know. I have only been able to get up their a few times scouting. What little i have seen of the little grey ghosts hadn't been to good, and I was starting to have doubts on my first deer tag in AZ! I am headed up their this weekend to get away from the farm!

Nice job with the pics! I wish I had a few good pics like that on my trail cam!!

I saw a few does up their in 6a two weeks ago that looked just like that! Still havn't found a good buck for my Oct hunt. Have you seen any that looked better than that, as far as health?
