Just curious if anyone here knows exactly where the locked gate was? I've hunted that area in the past and hope to get back there again someday. It would be good info to know. Thanks.

Is it still for sale Gino? I sent you a PM. Let me know. Tim

I'm not sure about all the requirements in the Tucson area, but in Yavapai County you don't need to hire a full blown architect. You can save a lot of money by hiring a draftsman to draw up the plans for you. Then when you submit your plans to the truss companys for bids (Sunstate Truss, Foxworth, Shuck & Sons etc) they will do the enginering calculations for you and stamp the plans. Then when you put them through the city or county for approval you will have everything you need for approval. I would be real surprised if you don't need a soils test. Arizona is loaded with expansive soils which makes foundations real tricky. You may want to double check on that. Draftsman in the Prescott area charge in the $1.10 - $1.50 per square food range. An architect would be double if not more.

Well I got skunked on the Arizona antelope and elk draws, but I just found out I drew out on a Nevada rifle deer tag!!! Now I don't have to stress about not getting a tag. I just hope my new rifle is done in time!

Holy Cow Casey I didn't realize your cat still had spots! I know you've been getting ribbed for shooting a small one but I didn't realize it was a kitten......... literally! How old did the G&F estimate it's age and how much did it weigh? Do you have any field pic's with you and the cat both in the pic?

I think it's about time for the areas north of the ditch to be draw only.

I've got a 2003 International Business Code book that I could part with. It's in brand new condition. PM me if you're interested and we can work out the details. Thanks, Tim

I always pictured him as being a little taller???

I'm guilty of wearing camo while shed hunting, hiking, scouting, riding the ATV, shooting, camping, and almost any other outdoor activity. My camo's are just my outdoor clothes and I don't want to get my carharts tore up in the cat claw and oak brush I guess. Although most of the time I just wear camo pants with a long sleeve white t-shirt.

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day???

Drew units 111-113 with Thomas Brunson of Timberline Outfitters. It's near Ely, and it's the first time I've ever applied for Nevada. I can't wait!!!

I'm having a .300 RUM built right now with an Advanced Barrel Systems carbon wrapped Shilen barrel.

No luck here on either elk or antelope. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed for Arizona deer & bighorn, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. Congrats and good luck to those that drew tags.

It's too late to apply for archery hunts in Utah, but they always have left over non resident archery deer tags for sale on a first come basis. You may want to do a little research there. If you're interested PM me and I'll tell you exactly where to go and see lots of deer. It's always a fun hunt especially if you're ok with seeing lots of 16-18 inch three points. I think the archery hunt up there starts a week or so before Arizona's and runs for a few weeks. Good luck!

My wife would like to sell her Baby Grand Piano. It's a Wurlitzer 5'8" with matching bench. We purchased it new in 1999 and it just doesn't get played like it used to and takes up too much space. Great condition. We live in Prescott and delivery options would have to be discussed. She is asking $5,950 for it. Come on guys......... think of how patient your loving wives are with all your hunting adventures and animal heads hanging all over the house. Think of the hall pass you could negotiate with this!!! Please Pm me or give me a call if you have any questions. Thanks, Tim 928-533-8807

I would like to sell my pool table. It is disassembled in my garage and I don't have any pictures. I am providing a picture from the Olhausen website of the same table with different colors. Mine has a lighter natural wood finish and kind of a forest green felt. I bought the table new in 2005 but moved to Prescott and don't have room for it in my new house. It also comes with a ping pong table top, and a few basic cues and balls. I can also accomidate reasonable delivery requests within Arizona. If anyone is interested please send me a PM or give me a call. I'm asking $2,950 for it. Olhausen Portland Series Southern Model 8 foot table 3 piece slate Thanks, Tim 928-533-8807

Or perhaps all of the information was entered into the computer and the Department was just waiting for a decision on the Cabelas deal before they push the magic drawing button.

When I still lived in the valley I used the guy at Guns Etc. for a couple of trigger jobs and was always happy with his work.

My buddy was about 75 yards away when he took the pic's and I was 72 yards away when I shot him. Where that buck is standing in the before pictures is almost exactly where he was standing when I shot him.

I know I posted pictures of my Kaibab success a few months ago, but my hunting buddy just got me copies of the pictures he took of my buck a few hours before I killed him. It's the first time I've ever had before and after pic's. Before: After:

Beautiful mount, great buck!!!

Now just keep your fingers crossed that Cabela's is good to their word and they don't sue over the outcome. If I were the AZ G&F Department I'd hurry to get the draw complete and results posted as quickly as possible to avoid any court orders like what happened with the USO verdict several years ago. Thank you AZ G&F Department for doing the right thing!!!!!

I don't believe this will make a huge impact on Resident hunters either way. What really sucks for the 600 hunters is that they will not only loose a bonus point for not applying this year, but they will also loose their loyalty bonus point as well. Kind of a two for one deal. Sucks for them, but probably a good thing for the other NR applicants.

Way to go guys!!

Treestandman, Yep, that's the one. Poor little guy never stood a chance. I'll bet he'd of been just fine if he hadn't got hung up on the under carriage of the truck and drug for another 20 miles before we saw him when we stopped for gas. I sure hated to smash him in his head with that rock to finish him off, but I didn't want to see him suffer anymore. But I do have to admit those were the most tasty little backstraps I've ever eaten I figured the least I could do was have the good side of him mounted so I could honor his life and enjoy his memories forever! Sure would have been a crying shame to let a pretty little animal like that go to waste.
