Ive seen them in 5BN and 4A since the early 1990's. No secret. Just pockets of them throughout the unit

I thought San Carlos dove regulations follow the state regulations???

Not sure about shooting....but you can legally glass from neighboring unit into yours. If it came down to technicalities..... You have a hunting license and can legally take coyotes in any unit, regardless of where your deer tag is.

I was just working on of the big fires in Oregon. Most of the big fires that started Mid-end of August, were lightning started fires. As far as the climate change causing them..... last year, there was a less than average wildfire season in the Pacific Northwest. So I find it hard to believe its climate change

Looks great. Take some fine steel wool and gently rub it over the high points and ridges, Make sure you go very light, and do it lightly til you get desired look. That will lighten the high spots and make them more natural. Use your other antlers as a reference. Then a quick, very fine mist from a distance of Krylon Clear matte spray paint. That will lock in the color of the minwax stain which is oil based.

No part of 24B North burned at all.. Only South and Wilderness

In 2018-- 18B-181 4/8 28-189 3/8 41W-184 3/8 I don't think you've walked the entire state and looked at all the remaining sheep country besides 22/24B. There will be several 180+ rams killed in other units again this fall, proving you have no idea what you are talking about... Just wait it out for the tag, and don't act like you know what you are talking about. Who are you planning on hiring to find you your ram by the way??

I have only measured coues deer. Don't hunt mule deer very often. Maybe someone will get measurements after they shoot one with their bow this month. Then post them for you

Being a taxidermist and also wanting to know the vertical dimensions of the chest of a coues deer, I started measuring deer after they were killed in the field. After measuring about 10 mature bucks (90-112"), I got an average of 14" from the top of back to the bottom of the chest (right behind front shoulder) 14 1/2" was the measurement on a largest bodied buck. 13 1/2" was the smallest of the deer measured. Before I used turrets, I used these measurements to figure out "Hold Over" distances for 300-400 yds shots.

In southern AZ, bucks were sniffing does, but not chasing. Bucks pushing others around, but still in bachelor groups. Like Ernesto says. Late Jan to early February. Does go in heat the same time every year based on length of days. Its only shenanigans with bucks until then.

Do you still have this?? Im interested

Sandy, congrats to both of you. Also, its a great idea to offer up the cape for sale for someone who needs one. There are plenty hunters every year who need capes for a variety of reasons (damaged, hair slippage, improper caping). They want to mount it and need a cape. Coues deer capes are actually hard to come by. Just ignore the negative comments and someone will want it. They will be thankful that it didn't get thrown in the garbage like so many do. Good luck

I was there last week. Absolutely no sign of algae or dieoff. A ton of bass (caught 30 in 3 hours). Trolled minnows over schools of crappie near bouyline and caught 20 in 3 hours. All trolling minnows. Most of those were small and nothing like the jumbos caught this spring. Im sure it would would be good at at night near all the exposed trees up lake.

He probably was quoted $250 extra for 90 degree turn "bugling". Open mouth bugling mount require more time and work. The jawsets are more money also. The pose Norteno posted looks like the McKenzie right turn, off-set semi sneak, antler Clearance form

Bob, I had the 2nd hunt last year and harvested my bird the 2nd week of the hunt. PM me for info Hens were not sitting on eggs yet. They start a little later for the Goulds I was told by G&F

I drew the 5A rifle hunt and am probably going to sign tag over to my son who is 16. Congrats to all who drew tags!!

We endured the wind and rain for 2 days and only saw 1 buck. Ran out of light before we could get in range. Sunday, we had a couple bucks walk out of sight a mile away. We then glassed up a herd of javelina. We got to within 200 yards and set up. My son made perfect shot and dropped one. Was a great time, even with the poor weather...

+1 on topknot!! Talk to Matt or Luke

+1. I'd use Jim Hartsock at SW Wildlife. He is an awesome taxidermist. He also is a sponsor on this site.

I'm not an e-scouter usually, but I'm getting desperate. I've got a 11 year old lab who has been the best dog I've had. I've also never shot a scalie before. I have a pair of mearns, and gambels that I had mounted a few years ago. Now that he is aging fast and probably going to be his last hu nting season, I want to get him a pair of scalies... I've thought about San Carlos, but have been looking at heading toward Sierra Vista since I've got a place to stay in Patagonia. If anyone wants to help me kill a few scalies, it would be appreciated. I'm not looking to "clean out" anyones secret spot, just a general area where I can take him to get a few for a mount. PM me and I will appreciate any info I can get. Thank you

My sons got the junior 36b deer tag next weekend. Wondering if anyone saw many bucks on the early hunts. We saw a lot of does last year, but not many bucks...

Great. Thanks for the replies. I had found a lot of does scouting, but no bucks. Wondered if anyone saw many this year.
