Any cwt'ers get this tag? Had it last year. If u get a flyer in the mail selling spots pm me. I got it last year and it kinda irritated me. Not a bad spot but don't pay anyone for it. Actually id come up showya access to it and teach ya what I learned in a,month out there last year. Don't mean to offend but I really disagree with this method of things.

Archery or rifle? Either way pm me.

If your talkin bout a white dodge with a brown cwt sticker on the tailgate thats probably me. As for hunting the unit its all good. Check places u normally wouldn't look for coues in there also.....thats the best advice I can give. There in some strange terrain in some spots.

whoooohoooo! Bonus points!!!

I'll be there also. See Yall there.

Hit upper lake mary after work yesterday for an hour or so. First time fishing for pike.....wont be my last. Most people were using frozen anchovies, i stuck to spoons and spinner baits. Got two, a little dinky one and then a decent one on a terminator. Heres a pic of the larger. Gonna try ashurst next for some of the bigger boys.

Just got my pig tag and noticed something strange.....how is it possible to get tag #'s 367 and 368 for a hunt that is listed as 350 tags?

i could see a g&f screw up if i pulled it on the draw or a mail in leftover. Situation was there were 6 left listed on the website for the hunt i wanted. I called to double check and they said there were now two left. Next day i was there when they opened and we got the "last" two in person. As soon as i saw my tag number i caught it. Pulled out regs and double checked and i was right. So at least 18 more tags than listed in the regs. Now i dont see an issue with this for a typical hunt. But what about a dec wt tag or strip muley or early bull tag? I helped in 21 for elk this year and ill say for a supposed 12 tags there were a heck of alot of hunters. In my opinion it just goes to show we cant trust g&f with anything. Whats it matter how many tags they say are available if they are gonna give out more....

Nope. Just picked it up straight from g&f as a leftover.19a general. Hunt 5006.

I'm interested in the hunt. But also in gettin some folks informed of this. Please email me. Azcoueschaser@gmail.com

178 was my second guess. First was SHOOT!

Looks like the same ram. Same lake behind to.

Hey, If anyone drew or knows anyone that drew 37a bighorn shoot me a pm. I have some pictures of a ram that did not get taken last year.

Wow! congratulations!

I have had 3 badlands, some small one, the original 2200, and the 2800. I have always been fairly happy with them. with the exception of cinchin them down when carrying less they seem sloppy. When packed full they are great but i end up carrying more than i need to. I talked with the Mystery Ranch guys in Dallas last January and tried on their packs...WOW! they are amazing, extremely versatile and adjustable and can range from 1800 ci to 5 or 6000 somethin ci. They are pricey as all heck but they will be my next pack. They are very well built and seem exactly what i need for hunting/scouting light to big back country hunts and packing meat.

Hector and Allen, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Sounds like a heck of a hunt and two well earned great Kiabab bucks! Story paints a great picture, thanks for posting it. Definately makes me second guess chasing Coues every year lol! -Tim

I had the same thing happen to me while scouting 24b a while back, it was a coues doe and she just let me walk right up to her. I never tried to touch her but she would walk right next to me feeding till i eventually left. if i hid behind a bush she would poke her head around to find me, it was pretty cool. also had a similar experience with two big bobcats on the pond right off orme road. It was night and i was just checkin it out and they would take turns runnin up to my feet and then running back 10 yards and sit staring at me, this lasted about 20 minutes till they just walked into the thick stuff.

Unfortunately I had not been able to financially afford to scout for this hunt. But it was my Dads first deer hunt and I wanted to make it a memorable experience for him whether tags were filled or not. I happend to have saturday off to hunt but would not be able to get back out till monday and he wouldnt be able to until that tuesday. So saturday morning I set out to a fairly strange place to be seeing Coues but I had happened to glass quite a few up while hunting my pronghorn tag earlier in the year. After a short hike a mere half mile from I 17 and no hunters in sight, a great occurance on opening weekend, I started glassing up Coues immediately. First was a nice little buck half hidden behind a saquaro, probably and 80" buck. It was tempting but I also wanted to have my dad there so I passed the buck, along with his spike and forky companions. But felt good that i was glassing up good deer yet was hunting about 2500" elevation. The rest of the day was uneventful until evening when the spike presented himself giving a very tempting cake walk shot. But again dad was not there and it was a spike and he was WAY down in a canyon. Monday I hit my typical haunts but there were many hunters as figured. Glassed up alot of elk...good to know... in a place I failed to look on my bull tag two years ago...figures. The glassing was going slow and just kept glassing elk. After a conversation with a buddy and second guessing where I should go next, most of my holes are quite a hike and my dad was not to thrilled about packin out after dark or screwin himself up, I decided to check out a place my buddy suggested and I had never been. Well after a LONG dirt road drive we arrived a little late, being that it was getting toward bedding time I stopped early to glass a slope off the road and found a few does and then a good buck. We watched him a while and decided he was a taker. After a discussion my dad said I should take him and he would take the next. Also it looked like it was going to be a fairly long shot, and he was much more content taking a 300 yard or less shot. The stalk is not much of a story I had mentioned if i get him under 400 yards ill take him. A few washes later and a small rise I ranged him at 450 and still feeding, another fifty yards and ranged at 398. I set up the pack and got down behind the 300 wby a.k.a "THUMPER" and waited for him to clear the bush he was behind. Five minutes and he stepped out...BOOOM!!!! Upon recover I saw my dust cloud a hair high and the buck ran 10 yards but offered a better shot and a way better look at the rack! I was really excited he looked huge from that angle, at that point I had already had another round in and my second notch in my B&C reticle a hair below his back, squeezing of the round...Thumper boomed and jumped, this time on recover I saw a leg kick and my buck was down! We got up to the buck and got alot of great pics and I am very happy my dad was there, we went back out the next day and I got my dad on a buck that would have gone around 100", a very beautiful buck. We had a perfect stalk planned and the buck looked stayin put. We closed to 300 yards and I glassed up and saw A deer still there so we set up. BUT!!!! once I got my glass on the tripod I noticed it had no rack! During the stalk a vehicle had driven by and must have pushed him and a doe just happened to bed in the exact same spot during our stalk. Ahhh well. We were happy with my one buck and now he is excited for next year to take on his Coues buck.

i agree......along with consistently producing 17"+ wide deer.

Amanda, It has a huge brown one across the tailgate I just happened to be sitting on it. I actually regretted not getting a picture with the tailgate up. Thanks for the congratulations all.

Depends on weather. I've picked em up in Dec and Jan. If its relatively warm some will be out. Don't see many below 65 degrees though.

atta boy Ty! start the revolution of people gettin caught and ill bet folks think twice before they take someones cam! Good job and happy hunting!

GOOD LUCK to everyone! May the pronhorn gods smile down on you, and the weather be bearable. Ill be in 21, white dodge cwt sticker on the tailgate, stop on by camp if ya see it. -Tim

walkinW, is this Ty? if so thats probably the same group that i was seein. This is Tim, used to work at bass pro.

Your avatar says you are from Mesa. Is that true? Most of the people that talk to sheep are from Tucson. Their conversation usually starts with.."Hey, how you doin?" actually i used to be from mesa, prescott valley now......makes more sense doesnt it
