Coues&Bass

Nice bull Matt! Glad we could help get you to the hunting grounds.

Another one down for the ladies!

Great buck!

Any lake reports or is everyone hunting? Just gettin the itch for some fall bassin! Are the bass pushing shad into the coves at Rosey or Apache? thanks

Thanks Ringer,standman you always come through. Time to re-string the poles and get the big motor fired up! looks like the weather is going to be nasty this weekend so maybe next.

Wow that buck looks like he has the body of a Virginia Whitetail! Thanks for sharing.

Nice buck thanks for sharing!

I have used the whitetail doe in rut and have had limited success with it. I have had bucks walk in behind me while I was glassing due them cutting my trail. The bucks were not big but they did react to the smell. One year a buddy of mine stepped away from where we were glassing to take care of some paperwork if you know what I mean. He heard something behind him and looked under the tree to see deer legs. He tried to get to his rifle and move around the tree and the deer moved 180 away from him like playing cat and mouse. Finally the small buck decided that he had enouph and took off. We hunted in the general area and picked the buck up again following our trail. Unfortently he was not the buck we were looking for. I was using the doe in rut when I shot my buck On December 26th 0f 2009. The sun was in my eyes so I had to wait to shoot, the deer seen me but did not react, although I was up wind the deer did not seem to care of my presence. So when the sun was low enouph I let the air out of him. My 2 cents

If the weather is cool and wet then they normally will start looking for does around December 15th. If the weather is warmer than usual and dry then it will start near the Winter Solstice which is on December 22nd. My 2 cents

WOW!

Heck of a trip thanks for sharing!

My hunting has almost come to a close for 2011. Anyone been to Rosey? Is the spoon bite still good?

Tried it during my 2009 December hunt but never had any success with it. I would also like to hear if anyone has had success with it.

Thank you mother nature!

A Cochise County hunting guide and his daughter, along with several hunting dogs who usually hunt mountain lions as a hobby told an Arizona Daily Star reporter that they treed a rare jaguar, last Saturday, in a canyon south of Interstate 10. Donnie Fenn, 32, and his daughter told the reporter, “It’s the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me.” “I was nervous, scared, everything. That was an experience I’ll never forget. It was just the aggressiveness – the power it had, the snarling. It wasn’t a snarl like a lion. It was a roar. I’ve never heard anything like it,” said Fenn. They first spotted the jaguar atop a mesquite tree from about 200 yards away. Then, after Fenn left to call Game and Fish officials to seek advice on handling the situation, the jaguar left that tree and raced away, with Fenn’s hounds in pursuit. Eventually, the dogs caught up to and surrounded the jaguar, who clawed some of them and caused some puncture wounds as he tried to get away, Fenn said. Apparently, the jaguar was able to escape the hounds. It was the first confirmed jaguar sighting in the U.S. since the death of Macho B in March 2009.

I do not have any issues with accuracy from my Ruger m77 mark II and m77 hawkeye in 7mm and 270. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 2 point similar in size from unit 32. I liked it so much I put it on the wall.

November 4 to 10 we went 2 for 4. Bad weather helped with the hunt. After weather moved out and the moon came into play the deer were scarce. When the weather was bad we seen more bucks then does.

Hike slow and keep your head up them little deer could be anywhere. Sorry I dont know much about that paticular unit. Glass, glaas and then do some more glassing. The weather is cooler and the rut is around the corner so the deer should be more active. Good luck!

I never had any issues with the barrels on my Rugers. Unless it got bent or something drastic that would make it fail. Is he having issues with grouping his shots or what is up?

If you are headed to Unit 1 I think going through Payson would be further out of your way. As soon as you enter back into AZ you are in Unit 1 and 27.

KEEP ON SHOOTIN THOSE YOTES!

Sorry mar . maybe next year.

What a beast!

Sorry devil in cat country you guys had a chance but the defense was just to much. Chow!
