    Prayers for my son please

    There is no worse feeling than worrying about a child and the not knowing. Keep your spirits up and we will keep him in our prayers.

    Not Again!

    Good idea, a 12 step program culminating in a group december hunt. Time for an intervention.

    Not Again!

    Tj act quick. Tell her that as a gift you want to tatoo your aniversery date on your forarm. This gesture may allow you to slip by this tear and will be a remindee for future years. If this is not a good option for you, maybe JWL is right...you just like the doghouse.

    Best tactic for bowhunting coues?

    You are hunting Fort Huachuca, it is loaded with coues. I would suggest using a tactic called Fort Calling. First let me set the scene. The fort is a large area with relatively little development. Most of the area has coues, but those that live on the hills above the old officer's row are particularly easy to hunt. As you may have noticed, that area, the nearby parade grounds and cemetery all have a lot of fruit trees, primarily apple. The deer love the fruit of these trees. As soon as the low hanging fruit ripens, they remove it. There are a lot more deer than low hanging apples, so the herds hang out around the area waiting for an apple to fall. Just find a trail on the nearby hills and set up your ground blind. Get settled in, nock an arrow, and get ready to begin some Fort calling. Open the window of your blind, grab an apple, toss it out the window. The deer will come running to the sound of it hitting the ground. Now your biggest challenge will be to wait until the little ones move out of the way so that you can get a clear shot at the big ones. You should be back home with a trophy by noon. Oh, I wish it were this easy... I would hunt in the area of the aerostat. Lots of quality deer and less people than you will find around the West gate area. Good luck and post your stories.

    Investing in Silver

    I think all the US currency pre64 is all 90% silver. Another thing to be aware of, because some dealers "forget" to mention it, is that a US silver dollar is not a full ounce. If I recall, it is .8 of an ounce at .9 percent pure, thus the silver content is .72 of an ounce. This is not a bad way to buy silver as long as you are not paying full ounce prices.

    Investing in Silver

    5 over is pretty high. You should be able to buy at two or three over.

    Investing in Silver

    Be careful with the pre65 stuff, it is not .999 pure. You should pay based on the silver content, not on the total weight.
  15. Any coues deer with a bow is a good kill. That looks like a pretty hot spot you have there. Good luck this year.

    Investing in Silver

    As a commodity, silver will hold a value if there is ever a true disaster. It can be bartered if people were not willing to take dollars. Also, in a disaster, plastic money will be useless. If you hold physical silver it will always have a value. My favorite type is American Eagles. Adam, if you find someone who sells at spot, let me know.

    Garrett found this skull last week in a remote, unburned unit 1 canyon. The bull was tangled in a fence.

    What is this

    Garrett was doing a little hiking and scouting this past week. As he drove into a new area, not too far from a town, he came across a boneyard with atlease 20 bulls with their antlers cut off. I am guessing that this is the dumping ground for a taxidermist? Maybe the horns have been cut off so they can be removeable from the mount. What I don't understand is why was a ring of fur left on the skill at each base? There were also several hides that appeard to still have the front leg and shoulder on them. Maybe some of the taxidermists on here could educate me a bit...Thanks.

    Fishing is great in White mountains

    We spent the past week fishing the White Mountains, and the fish were very cooperative. We quickly caught our limits each time we went to Nelson Lake, although most fish were the recently stocked 8-10 inch type. This was great for the little kids. We spent a few hours on the Black, between Diamond Rock and Buffalo Crossing. Again, the fish were plentiful. A third of them were Browns the rest Apache. We did not get to Big Lake this trip, but a friend did. He limited out each day. He also did quite well at Sunrise. On the busy weekends we avoid the most popular lakes, opting instead to fish a small remote pond. This pond is usually a bit slow, but produces some toads. Surprisingly we caught a bunch of fish in the 6 inch range. I am not sure if it was stocked by G and F or if these juvenile trout are just naturally produced. In addition to the pleantiful young fish, we caught about 6 to 8 big guys each visit. This is cody with a couple "typical" fish from this pond on Saturday evening. Here are the keepers from Sunday morning.

    Camping-Hannagans Meadow/KP Cienega area

    This is true for some of the roads. 88, 88B, and 276 all had good sized burns. 24 from Buffalo crossing to big lake, 249' and Water Canyon we're all in pretty good shape without burns. Call the Alpine FS office they will suggest the best routes for you.
