I used a different card than usual so I wont know anything until tomorrow!!....Its killing me! But 4 friends of mine drew bull tags and 2 of the same guys drew antelope. One of them is my friends 12 year old son that drew an antelope tag! That kid has all kinds of good luck!

Im too scared to check my account. You know what they say, Ignorance is bliss!......haha Good Luck everyone!

Oh and I must agree, Diet Mt. Dew is the best!!!!!

Good thing im at work when i read that post, I started having chest pain!!!!! hahaha. I am going to say by March 16th we will know. Always stay positive! Even though I know better...hehe

Ahhh so many things learned over the years. Alot of us have learned the same lessons doing things our own ways. As I sat here nodding my head reading these posts...haha. here are a few things I have learned. 1. If you want to harvest a 100"+ buck you must pass on the smaller ones. 2. Shoot your rifle often and be comfortable with it. Know where it shoots at different distances. 3. Use the best optics you can afford. Can never stress this one enough! 4. No matter how bad the hunting may be that day, its always nice to share camp with family and good friends. 5.And the one thing I tell everyone, DONT EVER GIVE UP HOPE UNTIL THE VERY LAST SECOND OF DAYLIGHT THE VERY LAST DAY OF YOUR HUNT! This one has proven iself to many times over the years!!

I hav e friends that are part of the Shadow Wolves and they are awesome at what they do! Impressive doesnt even begin to describe it.

Glad to hear your client tagged out. We got onto 4 bulls sunday night but we lost shooting light before I could get my brother set up on them. Piceked up on them again monday morning again but the hike tore up my brothers already bad knee so he went home early. The elk really started moving on saturday morning. Also counted around 40 mule deer and about 60 antelope over the weekend.

Was up in Williams guiding an elk hunt and got to meet Muley at the Circle K. Saw another vehicle with a CWT.com sticker but was not sure who it was. I was in my lifted chevy Z71, that is charcoal gray.

The strangest colored coues deer I have ever seen was in 36B a few years back. The deer was a cinnamon/red color except for her head and neck which were the usual gray color. Her 2 fawns were the usual gray color.

Hey congratulations on the buck!!!!!! That mountain is very familiar!!!!....hahaha Glad you tagged a coues, its been a long time since anyone has tagged one down here.

Those pics are awesome. On the last evening of my Oct. hunt I was looking at the moon through my 15's. didnt get any pics but you all sure did take some nice ones!!

I hunted 36B all weekend and the deer have been holding tight in the thick cover due to the temps and wind. Another thing we noticed that the moon has been fairly bright even though it has been only half all weekend. On sunday we would basically have to step on the deer in the cover for them to move. And the only other time they would be up moving was around 7 in the morning and 5-6 in the evenings. Alot of the bucks I saw were either going in or coming out of the mesquite thickets where their bedding areas were.

As I was sitting here reading the posts again, I realized that I could just order the equipment I have to have before I leave wednesday! And save me a trip to Cabelas! So I ended up spending an extra $50 to make sure its delivered by tuesday!......I think I am past the going crazy part and am starting to go over my mental checklist over and over. ITS ALMOST TIME!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!

Heading down to 36B. I bet the kaibab is going to be awesome this year especially with the snow. Good luck, and have a great time!

Yeah I know how that goes. As soon as i get off shift monday morning I am going to go make my rounds at Cabelas and Sportsmens Warehouse. Im sure there are a few things i will find that I didnt even realize I needed to have! Unless the girfriend tells me different.....haha

Save your self the money, just pack extra water and when you start getting hungry go kill a big old buck to eat on!!! Nothing like hunger to make you a better hunter!!....lol....j/k. Last time i was in Alaska hunting we lived off freeze dried food and MRE's have a great hunt!!

I am heading to Arivaca on Wed. also. the rest of our group will be in late wednesday nite and then the rest on thursday. I will send you a PM.

I have been friends with the Refuge Manager for many years as he is also from Ajo. I will call him and ask him about this. I dont believe it would be a problem at all to carry a sidearm while hunting though.

Just sent my registration PM and a donation. Thank you for doing this contest again!!!! Its always great seeing thepics and reading the stories from hunting season!!!!

WOW! I think I peed my pants!.......lol

A web site I have found to be usefull is www.accuratereloading.com, It has alot of different loads for any caliber you can imagine. Hope this helps.

Those are all awesome pics! Gets the adrenaline flowing looking at them. That is a great looking BARR by the way! Hope you can get him tagged.

I have always been proficient at killing javelinas with my bow, but those darn deer elude me!!!! I can never hit them! wether it be at 20 yards or 70 yards....lol The most blood I have drawn while bowhunting deer is when a broadhead sliced my finger wide open as i was shooting at a mulie buck. But I must say this, being a bowhunter has made me a better rifle hunter. Hey Dave, as for the Texican i dont think he knows how to say coues let alone spell it....lol, so he wont find this site!....lol. As for starting a New Hope Thread, it takes a pretty big man to weild such a thread! maybe you should start it.

You are exactly right about the desert after a fire. It is never the same again. when we had the Goldwater Fire burn 60,000 acres it still does not have one bi of new growth in the burned area. I will take some ics of it on my way home and post themso you can see the difference.

Its a Bowsite reunion in here!.....lol What about a New Hope thread on CWT.com?.......
