My point exactly! Adam, congrats!

Amen!!!

Mr. Smith, With no dis-respect intended are you a bow hunter? I would bet, considering this kid's "handle" he is shooting the best equipment out there.... and I bet .019 (or smaller) pins on that bow he is shootin'. Not only have I done it but know many others that have pulled 3" or smaller groups at 90, 100, and beyond at non-moving targets, with .019 pins. A bedded buck is the perfect target, I have seen hunters wound and lose elk 20yds or less. It is pretty safe to guess that there is no "luck" in the fact that the arrow struck the "boiler room" on this deer.... however, making all the right choices after the shot can make or break the best shots. Don't hate the kid cuz he can shoot.... he just needs to get back out there and recover his deer. There is no substitute for Effort at this point! Lets wish him the best and hope he gets lucky out there. You guys suck. Keep shooting that far and keep losing game. Disrespect for the animal, archery, and hunting. Coues n sheep aren't you an outfitter? Wow another unimpressive action/statement by an outfitter. Maybe you should change your handle to coues n bullsheep!

Isn't this same same outfitter in contraversy every year. Remember that big 430+ bull killed on the Verde River last year? Rumor has it that these outfitters had the Gov. tag holder all over this bull. This bull lived in a river bottom that is choked full of development. Homes ,human inhabitation and safety not deterrents taken into factor. The successful hunter was a legitimately licensed archery hunter in an archery only zone. Congrats! What would happen if the Gov. tag holder shot that bull in this archery only zone? Me thinkest that the hunter would be in a heep of trouble as is the above mentioned. The outfitter, ...innocent as a virgin!

El pepe Was your response to my post??? If it was apparently you and psyco do not understand the term devils advocate. Huntn coues Not directed at you. Just disappointed in the senseless quarrel. I am a bowhunter. I respect all hunters rights. Isn't it the National Forest owned by the community which we are all a part of? If you don't want to see other people, walk more than 100 yards off the road. Works for me. Most other hunters just drive on by.The only people you will see are the Knuckleheads on ATVs who don't understand the terms closed road, no off road travel, wilderness area, etc. By the way, I have tons of trail cam photos that i could share if someone could assist me.

AMEN

Hello, It looks like foliage in the foreground. Mark

Hey All, Had my bow lifted from the back of my truck on Apr. 21. Location was Viejo St. Cottonwood,AZ. The bow was a Matthews Rival Pro. It had Spot Hogg sight, and Trophy Ridge rest. If anyone runs across a suspicious bow, a heads up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark

I saw the rally on the news today. I failed to see any of you big bad talkers waging an anti immigration rally. Sincerely, Mark Salazar

Hey Bret, Were you able to obtain photos of your dad/uncles buck? If so could you post. I've been dieing to see the buck. Thanks, Mark( Psychozar)

Howdy All, Just wanted to give you all a heads up. On the Monster Muleys website are photos of a monster whitey harvested with a bow. I don't know any details, just stumbled upon the thread. The photos are in the coues topic with the thread titled " World Record".Thanks, Mark

Howdy All, I will ask my buddy to tell his story. I felt it would be better for him to give the details. I can tell you that the buck was killed from a Double Bull blind . thanks, Mark

How is it going fellow hunters? I thought I would add a sour story to the topic. this year I helped my handicapped uncle put up his new ladder stand at a water hole near Flagstaff. The first day he sat in the stand, he had several does approach the water hole. The does were hesistant and never came in to water. We thought we would give the stand a break for aday in the hopes that the deer might calm down. When my uncle made his next attemt to hunt the tank, he discovered Goldilockshad been lounging in his stand. She left her candy bar wrappers littering the base of the stand. Uncle Ben assesed the situation and noticed an odd sway about his ladder. It was bent inward. Uncle decided to hunt the stand despite his findings. Unfortunately, when uncle Ben reached the platform, He found further damage to the stand. Where the ladder attaches to the platform, the metal was literally ripped. This stand was brand new, and had a 300# rating. Apparently Goldilocks was a big girl. Happy Hunting, Mark

It had to be illegals on their new quads with chainsaws covering up some illegal activity.

The photo looks like unit 21, unit 6A, heck even looks like unit 7. Good Luck on your hunts, Mark

Darn, my computer wouldn't let me view the video, something about source filter could not be loaded. Anyway, the topic heading reminded me of an incedent that happened to my dad. While deer hunting in Unit 10 AZ, dad was doing some late afternoon jogging. He said he heard or sensed some thing behind him and glanced over his shoulder to find that he was being pursued by a pack of coyotes. Dad started shouting at them, but they showed no sign of fear and began encircling him. He began throwing rocks at them and was able to keep them at bay until he made it back to camp. Watch your back, Mark

Are you kidding? Most of the guys out there wait till the day before the opener to dust off their bows.

Creed, I tried rattling, grunting, and the "Can". All without success. The sequence that I used was first a bleat with the Can, followed by a few minutes of silence. I would then combine the bleat with a grunt. Finally I would combine bleat, grunt, and rattling. I tried any time that I felt that I was in suitable area. Heck I tried it everywhere that I ventured. On one experience, I spotted a group of deer with a good buck. I made my way above their location. When I got within 100 yards, I began using the can hoping to entice the buck. I made my way down the canyon slowly and quietly, and closed to 50 yards of the tree that I had seen the buck bed. I bleated with the can again several times. No response. I never saw the deer during the stalk. It was 1.5 hours after the initial sighting occurred. I began doubting that the deer were still around . I lost patience and fumbled closer, at that moment , I heard the deer blow. I then heard them runnig away. they were there 50 yards away , but the brush was so thick, I didn't even catch a glimpse of them. Anyway I will keep trying this weekend . If I have success I will surely tell. If not, well.... Good Luck, Mark

Bowsniper, I would agree with Wklman. However our "opinions " are just that. Call G&F for the correct rule interpretation. If you get some resolution, please update us. Thanks , Mark

Bowsniper, Congrats on your great success. What do you mean by always face camera north? And why? Thanks, Mark

THATS A GOOD ONE.

Hey Ultramag, I drive past the northern border once or twice a month on service calls. I have been itching to try that unit in the late archery hunt all year long. If you wanna give that a try give me a holler. Sincerely, Mark Psychozar@aol.com

Terry, Ace Hardware has hats that have lights built into the forehead portion of the hat. They seemed to be a pretty good setup. They offer different colors including camo. The cost was either $12 or $14. Mark

Thanks Pigman, I found all I needed in that post. Looks like I'm a year behind. Mark

Greetings to all. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on rattling and grunting in the late hunt. Does a standard grunt work. I mean does the pitch of a call that was designed for the larger subspecies of whitetail work for Coues? Do doe bleets work such as "The Can" by Primos? Would one of the commercial rattling bags available be sufficient or are real horns more adviseable? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Mark
