Yes, pics please.

I'm on the Eastside. Let me know.

Couesaz, how much press would you like? I can get tv and the paper out there. We can put an entire campaign together on this if needed.

Why wait until the Spring. Why don't we organize on our own. Maybe we can get the trash bags donated. I have a trailer and truck I would be willing to use........

If anyone in Tucson is looking for some part time work I might be able to help. I own a real estate company that is handling quite a few foreclosures. I need people who are willing to trashout the properties. Also need someone to take pics and put lock boxes on. PM me if there is any interest or for further details. David

Add me to the list. I will be glad to help and will bring some extra hands. My wife and I have been cleaning up certain areas. We take the backpacks and some clothes, wash them and donate them to several charities. Let me know.

Cammo is rarely used. Only if it's cold out.

This year was tough on my rifle deer hunt. So I have decided to give bow hunting a try. My buddy picked me up early Sunday and we headed out. Met another buddy who was camping out and hunting pigs/deer. We spent 45 minutes glassing in the cold sunrise. Spotted Mulies and whitetail does, no bucks. Total on the day we saw 18 deer, 4 bucks and no pigs. Moved to our second spot and spent some more time glassing, nothing. Then we moved to the 3rd spot on a high ridge over looking a vast valley. Twenty minutes later moved to a better vantage point. There he was standing in the middle of a dirt road. He was there for a good ten minutes then moved off of the road to the object of his attention. There was a doe milling around. The buck started rubbing a tree and snorting the gorund. We waited a good 15 minutes to make sure he wasn't moving out then Rom started his stalk down the backside of the mountain. During the stalk this buck crossed back over the road and 30 yards up a hill. Stood and then remembered what got his attention in the first place and made a bee-line for the doe. About that time Rom was sneaking over the last ridge. The buck must have thought it was another buck because he charged towards the ridge, then stopped. Just then Rom pops up and the 2 are looking at each other. Roms draws and the first arrow is low. The buck runs 10 yards and quarters towards my buddy. The second arrow hits its mark and the buck runs back up the hill 50 yards, beds down and then flops over. The hill explodes with 6-8 parting deer. Another with horns. On big deer down at 70 yards with a PSE X-Force. I watched the entire hunt through the binos. It was fantastic and gave me some idea on what to do on my first stalk.

Soory for the duplicate photos

I pour out the water and pack out all of the containers I can fit in my pack. Going to 34B Saturday with the family and some friends to pick up trash. If anyone is interested pm me. Happy Holidays

Last 3 days of the hunt I was commuting from home and found new "trash" each day. Over the Holidays I am taking my trailer and my family and we are going to clean up as much as we can. It is a beautiful area with plenty of widlife but I'm sure all the foot traffic affected where the deer were. I hunted alone for 2 days and carried a 9mm on my side. Good Luck

Had the November hunt in 34B and there was new debris and trash everyday I went out. Hiked 2 miles from the nearest road and still found backpacks, water bottles and clothes in all of the washes.

Congrats, great deer and and awesome hunt.

Good luck Tony to you and your son. We will be in 34B. We will be to far in for most hunters to see. Happy Thanksgiving.

Will be heading out after a good turkey dinner to 34B with my son and 2 buddies. I have been anticipating this for the last 4 weeks. Good luck to all and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Our economy is a direct reflection of the morals and values our country embraces. We are a feel good society looking to feel good now with many people not taking responsibility for their own actions and words. We know what the problem is, yet we take no steps to correct it. Bush tried to "stimulate" the economy by giving everyone money. Problem was the big Wall Street Guys and CEO's kept taking millions of dollars from their companies even though they had knowledge of the dire financial situation most of them were in. They should all go to jail. If my company fails I fail. No one will be there to bail me out, nor would I want them to. I would accept responsibilty for my actions. Bush will be known as the lamest duck president we have ever had and I think he realizes it. This coming from a born, bred and die hard, Moderate Republican. I am willing to give the new President a chance..... can't be worse than the last eight years. Worried about gun bans, don't. Stock up now or wait for the black market. BTW, our economy is cyclical. We will rebound.

How bout Justcoues?

Good luck to all of you hunting after Thanksgiving. Nothing better than a belly full of good grub my son, my rifle and the anticipation of what is to come. The weather should change things up a bit and I like it. I am thankful for all of our soldiers protecting my freedom. I am thankful for my wife and two kids. I am proud to be an American........ now where the deer at?

You duct tape sheds to your Labradors head to hone your spotting skills....

I have some friends that were involved in a dispute over a shot deer with the Klumps. Could have turned into a little of the Ole West. I will hunt else where.

Ultramag, where are you hunting? I'm in 34B

Name wasn't Monty was it?

Just bought my first pair of Swarovskis and all I can say is Holy C%^@$. Advantage hunter.

Curmudgen, You wouldn't happen to know who the crop duster was would you?

I'm coming back as a lion.
