No it makes it look alot easier than it actually was.

I am planning on going down on the 12th and staying through the 15th and if necassary I will go down the night of the 18th and stay til the 21st.

No he went back over the hill and walked a ridge back to his truck and left. Not the end of the world though I will definately have more chances.

Forgot to mention that when I took the "30 yard shot" at the buck that it was actually a 40 yard shot and I had ranged a small branch that was 10 yards closer to me so I blew it since I should have tried to range it again. I would not mind getting that lion at all but he is small to say the least. I would say he would be lucky to break 75 pounds.

Mule deer are going crazy was able to see 2 different bucks tend does in 36a. Bucks have herds of 8 to 20 does with them which is making stalking difficult. Whitetail are showing some rut. Saw 1 good buck in 36a chasing a doe but most of the bucks are just staying close to does not really going balls to the wall yet. This next week should change some things hopefully.

Happy Birthday!!! Let the big bucks drop in Mexico and please don't make us wait

Great first buck there and it would be a great buck anytime. I agree with Amanda about the hunt being the length of the hunt and the possibility of the rut starting to kick in.

Here is a picture from the kill site looking back towards the truck and glassing point. Yes the truck is behind the hill on the flat way down in the very bottom. The hike was definately worth it though.

Fantastic story and photos. Your daughter is definately one lucky girl to have that much luck with these coues and you are lucky to have a daughter that loves the outdoors.

Congrats to your dad and sister Tyler now its your turn to get another pig.

Thanks for getting the story and pics up Jim. I will go through my pics to see if I can any more in.

Congrats again on the pig Jim. I will be posting my story here later tonight for everybody to read.

Sounds like an awesome weekend there man. Congrats on all the birds and the pups look like they need a well deserved rest.

Congrats on the buck again Richard. It was definately well earned! I will post pics of the hike in and out a little later just a little to tired to deal with it now been out hunting since the 26th

Down in 36a yesterday watching mulies and whitetails. One whitetail buck was with 2 does but really not concerned about them kinda doing his own thing. Also saw a good number of muley bucks but none were with does except for a couple of spikes. On a side not I saw the biggest freak I have ever glassed up. He was a 7x2 with a droptine (sorry no pics to far away with very very little light)

Some fine bucks you got there. Welcome to the site.

Unless all the elk and mulies decide to migrate this far We were starting to get some snow south of Arivaca but it wasn't staying on the ground. Still really neat to see the snow when you are that far south.

The weather this past week was brutal to say the least. Friday was hot but calm and then saturday through Sunday was good temps but windy. Monday we were fogged in for the morning and the wind started to blow and Tuesday was good weather for the first couple hours. Still beats being at home

Very nice animal. Congrats on a dandy buck.

Even though it was cold and windy it still sounds like you had a great time. How does those hogs taste?

Great story and great buck. Glad to see everything turned out good and you go to spend the hunt with good friends and your dad.

I may be wrong here but isn't the pope and young non typical coues record taken from 4a?

I watched a show on that thing. 900 pounds and ugly. Cross bread between an african lion and a siberian tiger I believe.

Very nice buck there. How different was it hunting in the mid-west compared to AZ?

Alright here is the awnser. This was a tough one I think. Redrabbit you got it right first so Congratulations
