    Opening Day Success

    Looks like you hit the nail on the head ther Jim
  3. This was attempted last year and we had several members meet up. I think we should plan on another get together in Arivaca. We could meet at the Grubsteak or we could meet at another designated location. Just if you say your gonna be there please try to be there. Unless you are packing out a 90 inch buck If you are interested just post it on here.

    The RV Park is on the east side of Arivaca. There will be a big sign on the north hands side of the road saying RV Park. You will take the Universal Ranch Road South up to where it turns to dirt and then you will pull into the campground.

    Coues Country

    I actually had more water than Shorty did .......he had 22 pounds of Dr.Peppers hidden in his! I wish I had seen the suggestions about adding rocks to his pack before we left....I would have done it We did only have enough water for about 3 days and hiked back to one of the trucks. JIM> Now that is just cruel there. When I first started guiding in Alaska it was about my third day. I had to pack in about 2 miles to where we were fishing that day and hiked all the way in the mile up and down stream and then when I got back to the lodge all the guides were laughing since they had put about 15 to 20 pounds of rocks in my pack. I thought it felt heavy but I thought I was just still getting in shape.

    Moon Phase for Jan 07

    From my scouting I have noticed that on a full moon bucks tend to bed down earlier (around 7:15 to 7:30) but they do tend to get up and stretch several times through the day. On a half moon the bucks tend to bed down around the same time if there is a full moon. Now on a quarter moon or no moon I tend to see bucks bed down closer to 8:30 and still get up every now and then to stretch. This is not gonna be written in any book it is just what I have seen in the scouting I have done this year.

    Shortpants and COOSEFAN's adventure

    I see still a beauty of a pickup none the less. Sorry to hear about your terrible happenings with the 8 legged creatures that haunt me in my dreams. And also the forked tounged rattling demon. At least you didn't get bit by either of em.

    Dad's First Coues

    My dad a 28 year Arizona resident went on his 10th coues hunt this weekend. He was finally successful. I would like to say that scouting really is the key to being successful. We woke up Friday morning at 3:45 and made breakfast and packed our lunches. We left camp at 4:10 and drove to our parking spot and arrived there about 4:45 and got up on our perch by 5:15 (the fastest we have ever made it there by 10 minutes). So now we get setup and wait for the sun to start to come up. I start to glass at 6:05 and my dad locates 2 does on a hill at 6:20. I continue to pick apart the small fingers and locate a small spike at 6:25. I continue to pick apart the same finger thinking there will be more buck and locate 2 other buck at 6:30. My dad said he would shoot anything that was a fork or larger. Both of these bucks were forks. He made the stalk from 500 yards down to 200 yards. He made the 200 yard shot with is 25-06 shooting 100 nosler ballistic tips. The buck ran 10 yards before dropping. This is his first coues buck and he is thrilled about it. This buck is entered in the big buck contest and gross scores at 53 3/8. Not a monster by any means but we are both very proud of this buck. Here is a picture of the spot where the bucks were spotted. Here is a picture of my dad laying next to his buck replaying the whole thing in his mind. Here is a picture of my dad and his buck Here is a picture my dad and I with his buck I also would like to thank everybody for there help. I couldn't have done it without everybody on the forum.

    The pickup has some very similar characteristics to the buck you shot Jim. Great pick up.

    Sounds like a fun hunt. And you were able to hunt the whole hunt with your dad which makes it even better. Thanks for the pics and the great story.
