    let the rumors begin!!!

    Checking the card takes the fun out of not being drawn for me hahaha I'll just wait until Wednesday morning Good luck gents.
  2. Well my first time hunting with a bow was awesome! I didn't draw the 27 Coues tag so I got 24 Mulie. We didn't get to go Monday because we were all working on my brother's roof (MAN IT WAS FREEZING!). Tuesday morning it was snowing and conditions looked pretty good for a rutfest. We spotted a big heavy old forky with eyeguards and we tried to put a sneak on him but it was there wasn't enough cover and there was no way I could get within 40 yards. We backed out and spotted some more deer quickly, it was a nice 140-145 with a kicker on his right side, but his does busted me when he was thirty yards away with a bush in the way. After lunch my dad glassed up a buck about 1000 yards off bedded fifty yards below where we just were. We got to where we thought we were even with him and crept up on him to where he was bedded(about twenty yards). His head was flat on the ground! My brother used the Primos Can to get him to stand up, but as soon as he did he spotted me with my Swithback drawn, and the stare down began! Finally after a minute and a half or so he turned and gave me a shot. I heard that beautifal "WHACK" bowhunters always talk about and he piled up after about a sixty yard sprint. I can't get the picture up yet but I will! For now I'll just say he's a seven point with like an eighteen inch spread hahaha He's not my biggest but I'm thrilled to have experienced this hunt!

    I joined the club!

    I did that when I first started shooting at thirty yards, shot my brothers arrow! HAHAHAHA! P.S. it may be cheaper to shoot someone else's arrow but it's more painful

    Not a Coues, But Cool!

    Thanks J-Rod!!! Well the top three are just pictures of me with my deer, that canyon that is behind me was full of rutting deer! The bottom picture is a picture of a buck my brother tried to get on, we were right there, but then my brother in law sneezed and scared em'! It was taken right through my digital camera at two hundred yards or so. You can't see, but he has nine points on one side and seven on the other. He has really deep forks and mass but he's only twenty two inches wide more or less. He still would kick the tail out of my deer! hahaha! We are going out Saturday morning to take another whack at him

    Kevin would be right about that Cook's Peak is the only place I would remotely give consideration other than the Gila.

    Hmmm.... it still won't work all it shows is changing your credit card stuff dude. What unit did you get for elk and which deer did you not draw? I would still be happy for that elk thats what I really want.

    Uhh I just looked and uhhhhh...... are you pullin' our legs?
  17. CouesSlayer

    draw results?

    Does anyone know if you find out at midnight? That is probably a dumb question the game and fish is always late anyway. I was hoping that maybe results would show at midnight cuz my family is leaving for a vacation at around 3 in the morning and I won't have access to the internet on the long drive.

    future in hunting for Az

    Ya there's definitely gonna be some kinks in the works but hopefully the g&f can figure out how to keep animal numbers up cuz without animals they make no money right? I wonder if they have thought of that? And as far as more hunters putting in- it's impossible to avoid that, but everyone that moves to AZ and NM aren't going to be hardcore hunters like us though.

    future in hunting for Az

    Downthebarrel, Welcome to the site, I have thought about this stuff too, I am going to be seventeen in October. I'm from New Mexico though and honestly I think you guys are better off then us. I have hunted both states and I have to say AZ has so many more deer, and elk numbers are getting up there. I thnk if the drought gets a little better and they still cling to the same number of permits it'll be all right, and right now is the time for me and you to get all this down so we can be on the ball later.

    Massive Forest Fire

    Yes there is a fire burning I live in silver but the smoke does'nt look like that from here. It's more hazy and less puffy. Those are sweet pictures!

    Ya that's Eric Kern, I know you now you're in 2nd ward right?
  22. CouesSlayer

    Man Doc 15 late would be a sweet hunt, my cousin Eric guides up there and last year he himself got a 365 i think, but he guided a guy to a 398.
