MidLifeHntr

I think Amanda hit it dead on. For me much of the enjoyment of hunting comes from the people I hunt with. Over the last 10 years I have hunted with the same people no more than 2 years in a row. I have learned something from each of the groups and have become a better hunter because of it. This year I am taking my son which is very exciting. I'm hoping he will feel the same passion as I and we can hunt for the years to come.

Thanks Amanda. I have contacted him. I hate seeing our desert areas treated like a third world nation.

Yesterday my Wife and I took the quads out to do some scouting for my end of month Coues hunt. I haven't hunted this unit and havebeen going out every weekend to find a good loction. The ride towards the mountains was good but extremely troublesome. We kept seeing backpacks, piles of clothes and water bottles. By the time we headed back I was thouroughly disgusted and picked up all the trash I could fit on our 250 and 550 quads. THIS WAS WHAT COULD BE SEEN ALONG THE ROAD. My question is, are they going to be any deer in an area where there is obviously a ton of foot traffic? Also if anybody in Southern AZ is interested I would be glad to organize a weekend clean up and BBQ. This is unit 34B.

WOW. What a great deer. Taking my Son to get him interested. Dad, you must be extremely proud. Boooya!

Me too.

Size doesn't matter when it's your first. Congrats to your son.

Good luck to you all. Off to scout this weekend and stay out of other hunters way.

Beautiful buck and sounds like a memorable hunt. Good on ya!

I'm a newbie to the site and must say I have spent WAY to much time looking over all of the past discussions. Great site and some pretty interesting folks on it. Have lived in Tucson for 43 years. Love Southern Arizona. I own a real estate company that currently has three offices. My favorite office is the Patagonia Office. Any excuse to travel down there and do a little scouting.
