I have posted this before. A lot of people say at first light they want the sun at their back and the wind in their face. DO NOT overlook glassing into the shade in the morning, even at first light and as the sun rises. Just because it is morning does not mean deer will not be in the shade. especially the wise old bucks.

I remember and enjoy the hunts when I do not have a tag (helping friends out) as much as the ones when I do have a tag.

it is important to remember that it is not a guarantee that the bigger bucks will be out at dawn or dusk. they get old by being smart. it is important to glass the thick nasty stuff even at first and last light. when they are out, the bigger bucks will be the first ones to bed in the morning and the last to get up from their beds in the afternoon. make sure you are checking the hunt/fish times on your GPS. it is pretty accurate. not a good idea to be taking a nap or back at camp when the deer are up for a mid-day stretch and to feed. good luck.

maybe we can start a "Bring back Makovic" fund raiser on CWT.com someone run it by Amanda. I've got a few bucks I would contribute.

well according to R Finley at the Red Star, the kitties "settled" for the New Mexico Bowl. More like the New Mexico Bowl settled on the kitties. that is right, the 7th and final pac12 bowl slot goes to Nogales North. at least all you "die hard" fans will not have to travel very far to see your team. post up some pics from the game. we will be looking for them.

Thanks Larry and congrats Dan!! Here was our timeline. 9:30 pm on Friday - arrive at camp. 11:00 pm - hit the sack. 4:30 am Saturday - alarm goes off. 5:05 - on the road out of camp. 5:50 - hit the trail. 6:30 - arrive at glassing location. 6:40 - glass up bucks. 7:34 - buck down. Noon - back in camp. 3:00 - on the road back to town.

Tops on my list would be: AK for Dall sheep and moose. Africa for greater kudu. Finally down to the ua AD office to see about getting Makovic rehired.

with those eyeguards and the kickers I would say 120+

Don't forget your sunscreen and stick close to water.

Congrats Jim on a truely unique trophy. I am only aware of one other albino javi and it was taken in MX by another sponsor on this site. Thanks for sharing and good luck on the rest of your hunts down south.

Congrats to you and your son. That is an outstanding buck. Long eye guards and long G3s are the mark of a great buck and that buck has both. Thanks for sharing and thanks for cropping his hat off in the picture this year.

Mule - FYI - Lance was the one that brought up Pasadena in the first place. Go talk to him about it. Last I checked two was still two more than ZERO.

Ah Pasadena. The forbidden land to The Nogales North Kitties and all of their woeful fans. Here are a couple of observations: 1) those red uniforms the kitties were sporting were terrible. 2) already heard one "wait 'til next year" 3) already heard one "wait 'til RichRod gets his recruits in place" (FYI - RichRod was lucky to have Scott and Carey fall into his lap. Without them the kitties would have been lucky to win 2 games this year) 4) heard lots of blame towards Scott. Still waiting for: 1) "wait 'til basketball season because basketball is the kitties sport" 2) the kitties choked being up 10 in the 4th, giving up 24 in the 4th and losing the game 3) the SUNDEVIL defense stepped up and forced a bunch of turnovers and dominated the 4th quarter

. Crossing my fingers Carey returns but don't see it happening. Me either, that's kids a sleeper stud! Why is there NO conversations about that kid? He's probably not coming back next year.... What are you talking about. All that one announcer did ALL NIGHT long was talk about "the leading rusher in the nation". I about had to put the tv on mute. he will be back next year because he can not enter the draft until after his junior season.

CCCHHHIIIRRRPPP!!!

welcome to the desert RichRod. time to pack your bags as it is only getting worse. next year you'll be riding the bus home with your tail tucked between your legs.

Half way home!

The CUP is half way home. If I have to hear about "the nation's leading rusher" anymore I am going to throw my tv out the window!

after shooting the wrong buck back in 2006 I posted this pic on the forum. pretty sure I got chastized back then on here for using the term "dink". glad to see a little more maturity now a days by the CWT.com populous.

I know a guy who drew 33 goulds with 4 points! That is why they are called BOGUS points!!!

Javi???

I think they changed it so the mearns season would not overlap with any deer hunts. they still did not get it right though because they extended the late nov/early dec deer hunt to a 10 day hunt and there is still an overlap anyway.

congrats - after seeing the 2nd picture, Wild Bill must have been in camp.

here is what my bored elk hunting buddies do. make obscene snowmen.
