WOW...and thats a "slow" afternoon? Pretty sweet finds!!

My ol man had the early rifle tag in here bout 5 years ago. the way we got onto his bull was that we were gettin a lot of bugles out of the huge meadows before sunrise. There was no way to shoot that long of a distance so we would get on a pattern of watchin the herd bulls move outta these meadows and into the draws before you could even see. Once you figgured out which draw they were using, you just get up really early and just play ambush in that draw. took us almost the whole hunt to figure this out. But worked like a champ! Good luck, and I wish I had that tag!!

Me and a buddy decided to avoid Rosey cause of the tmx and head down to Alamo. We caught 20 LMB on spinnerbaits and topwater. Although its a smaller lake then Rosy, it has a old school charm to it like Rosy used to be. Can camp next to the water, can fish by the dam. Just one LONG butt DRIVE from Tucson anyway.

Ive ran across "wild" dogs before. I hunt unit 33 and not right next to any roads, thats for dang sure. My question is (and without gettin bashed by hound users), are these dogs Im runnin across, that are super aggressive, dogs that have been lost by amateur lion hunters and couldnt be relocated? Its only been like this over the last few years. But I have a buddy that hunts unit 36a/c and usually has to kill some every year.

I heard that its droppin pretty dang fast, and to beware of new reefs that arent marked.

I go ahead and count that as a loss! No loss there bud!!

How much did you spend on drinks?

Nope, we were all good, heard the same thing though. I can just say its a good thing we didnt have any probs, cause we get bored easy!

My good buddy Pat Feldt(arizona guided hunts) took his boy to New Mexico this past wknd and he tagged his first tom. 23 1/2 lbs, 9" beard, 15/16 wore down spurs. Called a hen in and 7 toms came a runnin. 30 yd shot with a 20 gauge. Attaboy Micheal!!! Followin in his daddies footsteps!

Congrats on the new addition. A real cutie!!

And some form Tucson!!!

AZGFD is monitoring the whole thing. Dont know if that means a better survival rate, but it cant hurt.

I've always liked the side racks. I killed one about, gebus, 10 years ago. But when I went to have it officially scored they had to score it as a non typical because the G3 was considered the main beam cause the main vein ran down this tine. Which made what looked like the main beam a huge drop tine. This was scored by John Doyle (RIP). Not that it really mattered to me, but for those that want a book buck, be careful on how these cool bucks score. Id shoot it!!!! HAHA

Id go with the peacock! BAM!!

Keep glassin good bud, and you'll definately up your chances of seein many more cats.

Aint nothin wrong with those holes!!!!!!! I use the Montec, I tried shuttle t's and they didnt wanna fly straight for me. Every bow will shot something differently. Definately dont like the idea of mechanicals going wrong or hittin bone. But, if you put it in the boiler room and it works mechanically right....Look out!!!

LOL!!!!!!!

NM just needs to go back to the mail in apps. DONE AND DONE! Try to procrastinate with the USPS and see where that will get you.

Yeah.....and wheres the nail in the coffin pic?

+1 for catclaw, I totally agree!!

LOL, that aint a workplace, thats a bone yard!!

That, or AZGFD puttin a collar on him. OH NO I DIDNT!!!!!!

And youd have to be a resident!!

I was thinkin bout this. My ol' man always says that he hopes to get to go again before he gets too old. He hasnt been drawn in years, kinda his fault cause he's always puttin in for the trophy hunts. But, when you get to that age and have hunted all your life, your gonna more and likely not gonna waste any BP's or dont want anything but the best for your "FINAL HUNT". I know that when I get to this point in my life, Ill probably feel the same. Point be'in, and Id think some of you other guys that kinda feel a lil sorry for the ol'man, and maybe know that your turn is comming as well, that maybe AZGFD should have a seniors hunt. They have a juniors......why not?

Naw, Ive gotten thru since then.
