Canyon State Hunter

Hey 123456, Something I think you overlooked is the fact that everyone here has a right to an opinion, whether it is the same as yours or not. It's ok to disagree; however most of us try and use some tact while doing so. I can see you are aware that Canyon State Hunter Magazine is not designed to give away anyone's secret spots; you're right, we won't get too specific in the showcase. Next time you post, please do so in a more thought out manner without the name calling, we don't need that here. I do however hope you enjoy the magazine!

Hi lionslayer, Who am I doing this for? Well WE are creating this magazine for the hunters of Arizona, plain and simple. During the time I worked behind the archery counter at Sportsman’s Warehouse, I met countless hunters who were just looking for a little help in the right direction; heck I continue to meet people like that today. It feels good to help them, it’s that simple. I will not deprive them however the joy and sense of accomplishment in finding their own spots. If you would refer to the above post, our intention is not to give away anyone’s secret spot. Please re-read the thread. To address another of your concerns, I claim nothing as my own, unless it is. There will be several writers who contribute to the Region Showcase, including some respected guides and Government agencies throughout Arizona. We have no need to “weasel” any spots from other hunters, plenty of talent in our corner. I hope I have been able to address your concerns lionslayer, if not feel free to give me a call; my contact info can be found on the Canyon State Hunter Website. www.cshmag.com Neil Large Editor Canyon State Hunter Magazine neil@cshmag.com

The Region Showcase is not designed to give away anyone’s honey holes, we hunt here too; the last thing we want is severe competition in and around our hunting spots. We do feel good however to help hunters in the right direction by getting them in the game, so to speak. The showcase can be used by new hunters getting into the sport to better understand how to hunt the states different species and where. It can also be used by veteran hunters interested in learning more about units they may not typically hunt. Besides, only generalized hunt area information will be divulged in each issue. It is not the intention of Canyon State Hunter Magazine to make it easier for hunters, who refuse to scout, to find game. They simply won’t benefit from this valuable tool. We appreciate your concerns, if you have any others please post here. There is much more to the Region Showcase than just info on hunting spots, check out our website at www.cshmag.com for more details regarding our publication and the services we offer. Thanks, Neil Large Editor Canyon State Hunter Magazine neil@cshmag.com

Hey Bownut, My name is Neil Large, partial owner/editor Canyon State Hunter Magazine. Yes, it’s a new publication for Arizona hunters; put together by Arizona hunters! We feel Arizona is in need of a full color, informative, quality hunting publication and took it upon ourselves to produce one. The premier issue is going to be available in late June and contains articles on subjects such as glassing, scouting importance and strategy, and bow tuning tips. We will also include some entertaining pieces on Arizona hunts, including an exciting archery elk story. The main attraction within our magazine is the region showcase. A showcase will break down the units within each region explaining what tactics successful hunters use in the different habitat zones within each unit. We will also include which units are known to produce trophy animals, draw stats, and suggestions on where hunters can find the species they are looking for. Take for instance region 6 (seen in the premier issue) which includes units 20b, 21, 22, 23, 24a and b, 37m, and 42m. As space is a factor in a 52 page publication, we chose to split each region in half. In the premier issue we will include units 20b, 21, 22, and 23 in the region showcase. As a new publication we are always looking for writers, story ideas, pictures of Arizona game animals, (alive or dead), and anyone who would like to advertise within our pages. To kick off our new publication we will ship later this month (free of charge), an informative 24 page mailer to 25,000 hunters that were successful in the last draw. The mailer is designed to get the word out about Canyon State Hunter, but will also include informative articles and Arizona hunt stories. Ad spots in the mailer are filling up quickly, if you own a business and are looking to catch the eye of 25,000 Arizona hunters, refer to our website at www.cshmag.com for details. We at Canyon State Hunter magazine feel we have put together a quality, entertaining, informative publication for the hunters of Arizona, take a look at our new cutting edge magazine when it hits the stands in June. Until then, keep an eye out for the 24 page mailer later this month. Neil Large Editor Canyon State Hunter Magazine neil@cshmag.com

WoW, seems like a great hunt! I guess you do know JACK... about huntin' coues!

WOW! Great story, pics and of course awesome buck!

Wow thats cool!! Congrats on a successful hunt!

Great pics and story...That 3 point is a cool lookin' buck!

Was he acting wierd in the field? Lethargic, disoriented, or any thing like that? He might just be ugly, were the other two bucks picking on him and calling him names?

I hope they discover a fifth species that grows antlers then maybe I'll start hunting them again.

Good luck! Try and push some birds our way, my dog is jonesin' for some real action. Oh yeah, I hope you kill a carp buck too!

Freakin' awesome deer man! Nice pics and story...Congrats

Nice buck and a good story! It sure helps to know when an area just looks "couesy". Good luck whackin' one of the spikes in four years!

Great buck! Glad to see your homework payed off

Man, what a disturbing set of pictures. That sucks!
