More D

Very cool! Congrats. Nice mulie. Sure didn't take the coyote long to find him did they. You whould have never found him if you had decided to come back the next day. Now you can have some fun coyote shooting to do after the season is over.

Wooow..............That is a beast. He is a hog even without the DOUBLE DROP TINES. Woooow.........

Felizidades! What a beauty of a buck! What part of Sonora where you hunting? Looks like mulie country.

Hum.......Mine is just as simple. More D comes from Daniel Moreno. at the end of my post is something I started back when I first joined the forum. I didn't know what all the smiley faces were for much less what they ment. I thought that was for a ski type head cover for when you went hunting. I used to wear a ski type head cover all the time ,even for rifle hunting. Not to be cool but because my ears always got cold. Excuse my ignorance but when I joined this forum in June '03 I had just started to 'surf the net'.

Great job! It is harder but they are up there.

My hunting partner and I did a little hunting in 36C on Sunday. After a great morning we drove up to the road that heads west to the Baboqivari(sp) About one mile before you get to the white fence that says no hunting we saw this print along with a few more that were smaller in size. The leatherman wave measures 4 inches across. Is this a big lion track? Average??

No. This track looks old(er) It also does not have the oval shape of a Coyote track and to me it looks wider that it is taller. A 4 inch wide Coyote track?? I am far from being an expert. That is why I posted it here!

I saw a pic of a 150ish MONSTER with a big drop tine. I heard from the 36's not Sonora. Where ever it was from it was a Monster.

A lesser man would have turned that experience into a bitching session, way to keep your head up. Life is wonderfull. Some times it is hard to see just how good the big guy treats us.

I am game as well. Will send you a pm with my information. I think this is a great idea!

The first and only time I have seen them was from my brothers mulie buck from up in the Bab. We were buchering the deer and they seemed to come from the sinus area. A cattle ranch owner said they were common in cattle too. Is this some thing that is seen in the colder climates or only during the winter???

I have know idea but I bet the guide service and trophy fees would be in that range for game of that caliber. I'd bet my lunch money that they won't even pay the fine. A fine and not being able to hunt legaly is nothing them. They were poaching a.k.a taking game during the wrong dates, without tag, etc....etc so why take away the right to to do some thing they never cared about to begin with. How about taking away there ol' huntin truck and rifle with a few days in the slammer to boot. I bet that would change things.

First get better then worry about hunting. This could be the only season you might miss, but God willing there will be many, many more. Rest. Relax. Get better. Although we will miss your pics of you and your buck!

EEEWWWWWWWWWW, I would pass...................................

I have been dragging a J-13 this whole time...............finally now I know what to do with dogs that live across the street!

Paypal sent me an e-mail saying that if you paid with them that shipping was free at a buch of places including Sierra trading post.

Very, very interesting. I always enjoy your posts very much. I just might have to get your book. Thanks

They don't seem to work for me.

Thanks alot guys! I am just a bit older than 1..........more like 32. I do still play with my rattle when no one is looking and I really like peas. How did you know Deerslam?

Deer Herd Slain 12-01-2006 1:58 AM (Ft. Huachuca, AZ) -- A near catastrophic accident involving an Army airplane earlier this month has led to the removal of a deer herd near Libby Army Airfield at Fort Huachuca. The deer were a safety problem and the fort complied with the FAA Wildlife Hazard Management at Airports manual. The FAA has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the hazards deer create for flight operations. The Arizona Department of Game and Fish said on Wednesday that the problem herd of 29 deer were killed. On November 14th, an RC-12 aircraft with two crew members onboard collided with a deer at about 6:30 p.m.. This led to the decision to eliminate the animals.

Have a wonderful day!

That is some funny sh..!

This is really not a bad thing, you could have came home empty handed. I still want to see the pic!

That was my guess too Ernesto. When my brother and I started to skin him we found that he had been shot. Lots of bullet fragments. It is hard to tell from that picture but once you have the skin off you can see that the leg was broken and it even had a different angle compared to the top. That mass is actually bone like tissue. Oddly enough he had a bullet wound in the front leg as well. The bullet stopped in the meat never hitting bone. this young guy was pretty torn up but he did not seem to walk with any sort of limp at all. Tuff Elk. I had planned to take more pics of the skinned leg and then the leg boiled. The leg bone was trown out on accident before I could.

This year was a good year for some of us in the family for tags and not so good for the rest. My uncle and myself drew Bull Elk muzzy tags. No one else in the family drew any thing else.....not even deer. In preperation for this tag my wife and I decided to go forward with a dream we have had now for years: A new TT. Also I used this tag as an excuse to buy a new muzzel loader, a Winchester Apex in .50cal and a Bushnell 3200. After about 10 range sessions I finally got some great groups: Three inch group at 200 yards!! I know the rifle is doing it's job, now it's up to me! The first day was pretty cool my favorite hunting partner, my wife, and my cousin helped and we got into a nice sized herd very early. Wind in our face, elk heading our way, plenty of time to set up.....perfect.............except for an older gentalman who took a off hand 200 yard shot at the 'elk herd' not A cow with no scope. Needless to say they were gone and the ones who ran in front of me had two NICE bulls but no shot. Sat was fun too! My cousin and I were off early to try and get in front of a herd and with some help of some good friends I found myself in front of a group of at least 50 elk. Again plenty of time , wind in the face, etc............................................................................. ............................................................I took a shot at a nice 5x2 because he was broken at 25 whole yards and I..........................missed . All I could say was " I have been practicing out to 200 yards, I don't know what to do at 25. I was so embarASSed. In the late afternoon I had 3 nice young spikes at 50 yards but it was only Sat. For the first time in my life I acually passed on a animal. It felt strange. Sunday all the helpers had to leave and only my brother could stay to help. We were out before sun up to sun down just like every day and we did not see one Elk. Monday my brother and I headed out to a Quiet Area knowing full well what we had in store for us if we got an elk down. We walked 5 1/2 miles and on the way out this young guy crossed our path: He is exactlly what I wanted and asked the Lord above for. Luckly he was only 1.68 miles from the truck. What an adventure. I was glad my brother was there to experience this with me, saddly my wife couldn't. She was watching our 3 year old back at camp. Thank God above for having me under his arm for a long time now. Thanks to my wife who lucky for me enjoys the outdoors and camping as much as I do. Thanks to my brother for being there for me and the his help with the packing duties. Thanks to every one back at camp for all they did to help me get my first bull elk. Thanks to all of you for making me a better hunter and a better person. P.S. I am smileing but my lips were so chapped that they were bleeding. That still only explanes half of the dumb look on my face.
