Sorry you didn't fill your tag but thats the way it goes sometimes, even in the Units that have high deer densities. You can start by looking at Units that have high amounts of tags and also look at hunter success for the different hunts.

Bob, I havn't done that in years but when we did the permits usually said on them what kind of tree you were allowed to cut, Pinon, Spruce etc. Worst was getting a 2WD truck stuck in the forest for half an hour trying to put branches and whatever we could find under the tires. After getting completely worn out, cold and the sun going down my friend then decided to pull out the tire chains. The truck drove out of the rut like it was on dry ground. I could have killed him right there.

Looks like I/We will be camped south of the lake. Trying to get there thursday evening.

What caliber? I have T3 in 308, sure is light.

Eastern Count? As long as I have lived in AZ I have always heard deer referred to without the eyeguards although I believe they are measured when added up to total inches, ie 110, but this would be refered to as a 2x2 (Western Count) not a Six Point (Eastern Count).

The 20X Steiners really shine at the longer distances. I don't even take mine out of my frame pack unless I'm glassing past 600 yards because the FOV at that distance is about 35 feet. Excellent shot by the way.

Right front paw is off the ground because it appears to be walking when the photograph was taken. This female appears well fed and in good condition and Jaguars further south tend to be larger and stockier than those found in the most northerly part of their range.

Looking for Cody Lundin?

I had a friend who had to be Air Evac out due to a roll over, going slow in rough terrain. Also sat in a packed house with a bunch of others listening to eulogy after eulogy for a co-worker who died instantly. That one touched a lot of lives and could have been prevented.

The hide near the tail will serve well enough to identify the type of snake, coontail, blacktail etc. Do you know which four species are protected? Knowing which ones inhabit the area you are in can really narrow it down. http://www.azgfd.gov/w_c/arizona-rattlesnakes.shtml

Thats about as good as it gets and darn impressive.

I would think that starting with an oiled patch would just add another layer of somethig to clean through to inevitably get to the carbon and powder. Not knocking your method, just trying to learn and understand your method to your madness. LOL

If you found one please post it up. Oops, should be Range Finder.

Well first I don't remeber hunting that area but is he seeing any sign, foot prints, droppings? How close is he to water?

Just wanted to say I was suprised to see a buck brought into camp in 36B that was still in velvet this time of year.

A bore brush will get the neck area cleaned just due to it being slightly oversized. A mop should also be used when you are done cleaning the bore to get out any leftover cleaner and oil. I run about 4 wet patches down first to remove loose carbon and powder, then a bore brush to remove the tough stuff.

Spadefoot?

Got a link?

Not hunting, just tagging along as an extra set of eyes and ears.

So after reading the Rattlesnake Bite thread and not wanting to hijack it. Can those of you who use the SPOT and the available services give me a rundown on it? I basically know what it is but not much else. I don't have a smart phone. Should I get one to work with the SPOT?

If I remember they paraded it around town and then found out it was illegal and it mysteriously disappeared.

NIce to see it's still pretty green out there. Thanks for posting, those pictures are nice and sharp. What camera did you use?

Last Jaguar I rember shot was by couple of fellers down Wilcox way, early 90's maybe?

I'm still waiting for the price of the Yeti's to drop, good thing I'm not holding my breath.

Send it back. They should be able to turn it around in a couple of week but do it ASAP. Call them ahead of time.
