If he runs west he might stop somewhere around Cascabel, if east on the other side of Safford. South the other side of Wilcox etc...etc. Sorry just kidding! Sounds like a big canyon. Especiallyif shot at he might run forever or just untill he find a nasty hole and hold VERY tight untill its dark almost! So tight that you could walk right by him and he will not buge. Whats important is that canyon is HIS HOME and be sure he knows it well. I recommend: Practice shooting, sit on that canyon, find out where he hangs out, drink water, eats.

This was on the opening page from Cox.net Hunter Accidentally Shot, Killed By Son During Trip 12-07-2004 8:24 AM (San Carlos, AZ) -- A man living on the San Carlos Apache Reservation is dead after his son accidentally shot him over the weekend. Tribal authorities say 44-year-old William Delma was hunting with his 24-year-old son Brian and two other people Sunday near Globe. The group was hunting elk in the area and the son apparently mistook his father for one of the animals. Officials say this was the second accidental shooting death related to hunting in the past three months. As a result, the San Carlos Recreation and Wildlife Department passed a resolution yesterday requiring all hunters to wear orange caps and vests in the area during hunting season.

One question! Do the goats mind carrying your Coues or any game for that matter, does the smell bother them?

I would be concerned about some of the bozos the Ernesto ran into recently! I have heard of some Wackos that shoot at anything that moves then go see what it is that they killed! I see in the photo that they are easy to see. I bet it would make for more of an "adventure" to hunt with the aid of goats!

Sorry to here about your situation! I fell lucky that nothing like that has happend to me. On another note: You and your brother did great in your new favorite hunting spot 36C! Nice looking deer! Funny that I saw your name it the sign out book at the King Anvil ranch on Sat. When I saw that you got a deer it made me SMILE ! How did your Pronghorn hunt go?

I have noticed that some of the Nikon/Bushnell spotter are not waterproof. It might not be important to you , just thought I would mention it.

I wish that at the age of ten I could have got my first deer! That looks like one happy boy, and now hunting will keep him out of trouble!

Man that was a hunt! Glad you stuck it out, most guys would not have. Can't wait to see your trophy....because that is what he is! I saw the story on the news about the young pregnate lady found by a hunter. I'm happy to hear it was by some one responsible like yourself.

BIG BUCKS BEWARE!!! CHD IS HERE! HE HAS A TAG AND A SHOLDER CANNON!

VERY NICE! GREATER job on the will power that was probalbly the hardest.

PICS?!?! PICS?!?!

500 YARDS in the NECK! I too would rather be lucky than GOOD!

300 WSm Post them or send them to me at dmorem@cox.net or Amanda. I love to see any Coues even the Mexican cousins of the ones we hunt here!

THIS YEAR! No wonder I can't find any elk sheds in 6A! Mighty beautiful!

Thanks for fighting with the photo web site so that we could all enjoy these GREAT animals that you have taken. The stories make them all the more interesting!

Archery Javies in the 36's No Buff No Turkey No Bear I its going to be a FUN archery season!

Instant convertable!

Thanks for the Bear pics Scott! I have never seen a bear in the wild EVER! Only trophy pics. It was nice to see one alive in a picture at least.

Sad thing is that the ladies in my neighborhood you don't want them to be sober MUCH less drinking!

Your boy only took a minute or two! I would have blown the whole thing on acount of my nervousness!! GREAT JOB! YOU ARE FORMING THE BEST OF MEMORIES.....NOW!

This year I bought a head band type Coleman brand light that has 1, 3, 5 led's or a regular bulb at Costco for $11. I figured that it would be much more practicule than my 2AA mag light. Of coures when we were feild dressing my cousins buck the new head band light was hanging back at camp. Boy was I pissed. I too almost chucked the 2AA light out of frustration but then we could not have seen anything.

Great luck LARK! take a camera to share with the rest of us!

AWSOME , BEAUTIFUL , Looks like he had a great start!!

If you are cheap like me, meaning that you you want the most for you money, well hello brother. You have already got some great comments from the CWT boys already. One thing I might add is the you take into concideration is the ammos cost and availability. .270 Weatherbys ballistics have always impressed me but so has the cost of a box of ammo. I'm not picking on the caliber just triing to make a point. .243 might be a little light for Elk as already mentioned but you can't go wrong with .270, 30-06, .300 Win mag. These calibers are available pretty much any where you can find ammo. heck at Wally Mart you can get the .243, .270, 30-06 for $11.97 a box and if you are lucky your rifle will shoot best with one of these loads. When I bougt my M70 6 years ago when I walked in to Wally Mart intent on getting a .300 win mag or a 7mm Rem mag. "I had to have a Magnum". After seeing the cost of ammo to practice with I walked out with the '06. I have never regreted it. You mentioned someting for all AZ game, the 30-06 is hard to beat. It can be loaded form 100grs to 220grs. Mags also hold one less round then standard, some see this as nothing but I said it would one day and it did make a diff on opening morning Friday. Me with my 30-06 and my hunting partner(cousin) 7mm mag. That is a story for another post. You have ALOT to chew on and you better get going, TIME IS SHORT. You make ME NERVOUS your hunt is coming SOON and your still shopping. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!

Sounds like you ahead of the game and are going to do well and have a great time doing it too!! I am sure some one hear has already but, WELCOME!
