Nice, congratulations to the young boy and all involved. That’s gonna be a hard one to beat for the young boy in the future.

Sucks, last spring my son had a jr. javelina tag and it rained all weekend. Now he has another jr. javelina tag in 18B and its supposed to rain again this weekend. Sucks even more. JD

Thats awesome, congratulations to the both of you. JD

Ok, I'll take a shot at it. Ima say I see 9 pigs.

Howa makes the weatherby vanguard.

Hey Phillyman, I purchased my son a Howa .243 (called the 2•n•1 youth model) which comes with 2 stocks. A small youth stock and as he/she grows up you can put the the larger one on. This past Oct. my son shot a cow elk with it and it did the job. The cow only ran 40 yards before she fell over. We were using the Federal Premium Nosler Partition in the 100 grain. They seem to have done the job. But as they all say shot placement is the key to any rifle you shoot. I think the rifle your father gave your son will work perfect for many years. JD

Found this while reading the Arizona Daily Star. Hope they catch these creeps. Sounds like the same story that Rifle2Bow posted about poachers ruining his hunt. The Arizona Game and Fish Department is offering a reward of up to $1,250 for information leading to an arrest in the fatal shooting of a young deer by a poacher in southern Arizona. The department says the doe was shot by a man with a rifle at approximately 5 p.m. on Oct. 28 near Madera Canyon Road south of Tucson. The shooter is described as between 30 to 35 years old, about 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds with short, light brown hair and wearing camouflage. The shooter was accompanied by a man in his late 60s or early 70s. That man is described as 5-foot-9, 175 pounds with short salt-and-pepper graying hair. Just thought I would share, JD

Ha, lol. Good one......

Back in the 80's my father shot a 1x3 mulie that had the biggest body I've seen in some time but it also didn't have any male body parts.

So I've been wanting to get into doing some european mounts and have been thinking about buying some dermestes beetles. Does anyone on here have any experience with breeding, caring and housing a colony of these beetle and who would be willing to share their advice? Thanks, I appreciate the advice in advance. JD

Found these canyon coolers on CL not sure if there sold already but just wanted to share. http://flagstaff.craigslist.org/spo/4135361804.html JD

Good luck to all our future outdoorsman/woman. Hopefully my son will be bringing home some back strap's from his jr elk hunt up in 4A. Have fun and be safe, JD

Hey guys, I'm planning one putting a 6" lift on my 2002 1500HD silverado. Do any of you guys have any recommendation on what brand and what shop you guys have experience with? Thanks, I appreciate all your advice. JD

Anyone out here around the White Tanks that is willing to help me sight in a .243 rifle? I usually do my shooting on Watson Rd. I sure would appreciate the help. Thanks JD

http://www.enlightenedredneck.com/2009/02/10/a-deer-hunters-dream-the-calico-buck/ Not sure if this has been shared before but I thought this was very cool so I just wanted to share it with you guys. Enjoy, JD

I'll be headed up to 4A over the next few weeks to scout for my sons jr. cow elk hunt in Oct. Would anyone be willing to share any info on where I can start scouting. I never hunted this unit beside camping around Woods Caynon. I would like to put in my home work so I can help make my sons hunt successful. Thanks, any and all info would be greatly appreciated. JD

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the help. JD

Hey Guys/Gal's Can you hunt for small game while a big hunt is in progress? (Example: squirrel hunting while a jr.elk hunt is in progress) I thought I read it some where in the regulations that you couldn't hunt small game during big game hunt but I can't seem to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, JD

Thanks guys, I appreciate all your thoughts and comments. JD

I got $25 on it!!!

Thats awseome, memories that will last a life time!!!! JD

Awesome photos... It's known that the more mature (first hatchling) will actually kill its nest mate and push it out of its nest. It's natures way of saying only the strong survive!!!!

Brother shoots sibling in Arizona hunting accident FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating a shooting involving two brothers who were turkey hunting southeast of Flagstaff. Arizona Game and Fish Department officials say the men from Surprise were pursuing and calling turkeys late Saturday when one of the men fired his 12-gauge shotgun about 25 yards away from his sibling. Authorities say the victim was sitting against a tree and wearing camouflage clothes at the time. He was shot in the shoulder, but the wounds weren't life threatening. He was taken to Flagstaff Medical Center for treatment. The brothers' names haven't been released. Officials say the Coconino County Attorney's Office will review the case to determine if charges will be filed. Game and Fish spokeswoman Shelly Shepherd says Arizona has had 26 hunting accidents since 2007, including three fatalities.
