Those of you who said it shouldn't be a problem were apparently correct. I talked with a nice lady from the g&f yesterday and she also said it should be fine. I'm actually quite surprised this wasn't going to be an issue to be honest. Definitely relieved to here that my boys first elk app should go through without any problems due to this stupid mistake of mine. Now all we gotta do is wait and see if we get lucky.

That was cool sweet video! Perfect example of the spook n stop technique that elk are famous for. Too bad more coues didn't do this.

We did a trophy bull hunt 1st choice and youth cow 2nd. How long have you've been trying to get a field day? I've been looking for almost 2 years now for one of my kids. I think there was one here in SV a few months ago but we missed it.

It was my kids license and we just bought it today so the license date is current. I just got done putting him in for elk and I thought everything was good but when I put him in for antelope my PC autofilled the license # and it was missing a digit. So I don't know for sure but I'm pretty sure I must have entered the wrong # for the elk app for the autofill to be wrong. Can't believe I messed this up. It's his first time putting in and he was really excited. Hopefully it's not an issue. I think I'll call first thing tomorrow morning just in case.

Hey guys check out my new video.

So how would you guys rate this years rut? 1-10.

That's a sweet buck Eagle Eye!

Very nice! congrats to all! Always good seeing kids out hunting coues.

Sloppy 4ths hunt

Heck yeah nice buck! Congrats man!

Just a heads up I just got a tag at Cal Ranch in Sierra Vista. They said they've been getting a lot of out of staters calling and coming in looking for tags. Didn't sound like they had much left so if you need one in the SV area you might want to go get one as soon as you can.

Some awesome pics you got there. Quality looks good to me but what do I know I only hunt the dinks down in southern AZ.

Saw that as well. I don't quite understand why a guy would give up hunting just to continue running cams. Just doesn't make sense in my eyes. Even with this new rule it would still be pretty easy to continue using cams and still be able to hunt. He did mention that he thinks G&F might use him as an example so maybe he's just playing it safe.

Not looking forward to the weather. Finally saw some rutting activity. Watched a good buck chase does around for 3 to 4 hours. Saw 3 good bucks today. Only got one crappy pic for now.

Awesome congrats! I'm going out tonight and if I see a buck like that I'm shooting. Thats a cool coues man!

Finally found a couple good bucks this morning. The first one was working a scrape line and the second one was following a couple does. Sequence 01_1.mp4 P1030134_2.mp4

Nice buck and great pic!

Finally saw a good buck acting a bit rutty this morning. He was raking trees and and looking at the lady's but never gave chase. It's been rough. Don't know if the moon or me just not being able to find them. Hope my luck changes soon.

If anyone in the Sierra Vista area is in need of a coues cape let me know. It's from a mature coues that was shot a few weeks ago. Currently frozen. Contact me for more info. Thanks.

The cape has found a new home. Thanks Coues7777 it was nice meeting you. I hope the cape works out for you.

Unfortunately no. Never saw them again after I videoed the bigger one hard horned. It wasn't for the lack of trying. We ended up with these two instead.

Thanks. I can't remember for sure but it was either a Panasonic FZ80 or I was videoscoping with a Panasonic G7 and a 114mm telescope. Pretty sure it was the G7 telescope combo.

Yep I think I'm gonna start caping every buck we get from now on. Wish I started doing this years ago if I'd done so I might actually be good at by now. Like you said shoulda woulda coulda.

Sounds good. As of now the cape is spoken for but if for some reason the guy doesn't want it your next in line.

Cool thanks for letting me know.
