I was looking at my can (that call) this morning and noticed that there isn't a way to make it hands free. He said, "I was looking at my can..." HA HA HA!!!! And now you guys want to see a picture of his can?

I was 20 miles from the truck when the rain came yesterday. A 20 mile quad ride (salt flat to Bald Hill) in the cold rain is not fun. I got out of there about 6:30 last night. Going back as soon as the wind dies. BTW, Dugas road sucks when it's wet! I swear I have 300 lbs of mud in my wheel wells.

That gets me exited! I'll be in 21 starting Monday morning through the end of rifle season.

That sucks! Stuck in "The land of fruits and nuts" with the Coues rut in full swing and tag in pocket. Just keep swilling the eggnog and before you know it you'll be planted behind the tripod again.

You can hunt with both rifle and bow, but you can only kill one deer per year. If you kill in Jan. you can't kill again till the following year.

I would use a .50 BMG, but again, that's just me.

I got off work at noon on Friday and was glassing a big canyon by 2:00. Stayed out till dark without even seeing a doe. Got up and was in position before sunup. Glassed non-stop till noon and did not even see a doe again. Not sure what's going on as there were a lot of deer in this canyon 2 weeks ago. I have the week after Christmas off, so that'll be my main hunting time. Hopefully things will pick up.

Josh, I saw the pics on MM. I'd shoot that buck without a second thought. I was in the Pine Mountain Area also, but not all the way to the wilderness boundry. Maybe 3-5 miles west of the campground that is at the end of the road.

Don't bogart that bass! And just how do YOU know what smoking a joint looks like? Hmmm?

Mesa Bass Pro Shops

Mesa is in the process of getting a Bass Pro Shops, but the blue hairs are trying to stop it.

A few things to consider. 1. Were you shooting at a steep angle? Your bullet will hit considerably higher than what your chart says if shooting at a angle(either up or down, doesn't matter.) 2 years ago I shot right over the back of a decent Coues because I forgot to consider the angle factor. 2. At the distance you were shooting, "8"above the back" can be very deceiving. Your cross hair probably covers at least 4" just by itself at that distance. If you saw any daylight at all between the bulls back and your crosshair, you probably shot too high. 3. Are you sure you missed? I've shot spike elk with 180 grain Core loct bullets that just stood there an looked unhurt. I once shot a small spike 3 times dead center of the chest at 100 yards and he still walked 100 yards before falling over. 150 grain bullet at the distance you were shooting might not have had the energy to make the big bull appear hit. 4. 24" of drop seems a lot at 440 yards, especially if you sighted in for a 250 yards zero. According to Remington, a rifle sighted in at 200 yards will only drop 20". http://www.remington.com/ammo/ballistics/c...ults.asp?cal=20

tanning the old fashioned way.

The first calm day after a storm passes is THE day to be out. Doesn't have to be sunny and warm, just calm with little wind. I have a place in unit 33 that I can always see a few deer, but the day after a storm passes, it's like someone turned on the deer faucet. Last year, on just such a day, we literally glassed up 40+ deer before 9 am, all on one ridge system. The next day we saw maybe 15 deer total in the same area.

Those are NOT the proposed fees. Those are the ceiling limits on fees. The MAXIMUM they could legally charge you for a tag. All fee increases have to go through the legislature I believe.

5 straight years and no turkey tag. Still trying to draw that 27 spring bear tag too. Got a HAM tag in 37B.

I'm looking for a CouesWhitetail.com thong. Size XXXL

I use one of these and they work great. I am still on the original batteries 2 years later! Black Diamond

Definatley unit 13A. Not even a question. Unit 16a second choice.

Try up higher in the Catalinas. There are a lot of deer in the burned areas right right now. Go up the backside, through Oracle. Get up into those steep canyons that burned in the last few years, up high on the mountain.

I hope they put the December hunts in the Premium catagory. I'd pay a little extra to get one.

No more online apps No caps on NR. All have equal chance to draw tags. Conservation bonus points to be awarded Raising the fees You must buy a license to apply for a tag In other words, we took it in the shorts, while Taulman "The Elk Pimp", takes it to the bank.

I like those low country bulls with their white antlers. That's awesome! Was it a L.O rifle tag or archery?

My next bow will either be a Bowtech or a Reflex. Mainly because I am a southpaw and have a short draw length. These companies seem to cater to my kind.

I saw many many fawns on the Kaibab early this month on a scouting trip. In fact, I saw more deer up there that weekend then I had seen up there since they started the doe hunts 4-5 years ago.
