haha yup i think the pic in the dark tells the whole story, but it was definately worth it like always, walked out in the dark many a time so no biggie, heavy for sure! lots of fun though, was just another test passed to let us know that we're still hardcore! DAN

Check out those Chocolate horns!!! i like that, good job, and many more to come. DAN

Awesome! DAN

wow great looking bull, good job! DAN

The lucky hunter just finished his Hunter Safety course 2 weeks ago and took this Whopper of a 3x3 Coues for his first buck! Rough tape of 111 5/8 gross and 108 4/8 net, congrats to the lucky hunter on his first buck! San Carlos Apache Rez, Unit A DAN

San Carlos tribal hunt opening day buck, Unit B. DAN

Went out for Coues yesterday and ended up packing out some racks!!! DAN

Yet another opening weekend Monster Coues taken during the tribal hunt on the SCAR, the lucky hunter was hunting in the Point of Pines area when he took this Giant!!! DAN

Excellent story, i like the quick gameplan and getting it in motion as quick as possible and getting it done with just enough time instead of debating debating and losing precious time, well deserving buck!!! DAN

HAHA, yea its going to be another great season for the NOV coues guys coming up, last year i think they had a better season than the RUT hunt guys, as long as they don't be too picky they should do just fine, can't wait to see more big bucks from the rez!!! DAN

REG 002-TIME AND METHODS P. Non-members may use their own dogs only for hunting small game and waterfowl, unless otherwise specifically authorized by a rule, regulation, or order of the Recreation & Wildlife Commission. Such dogs must be collared with the dog owner's identification. Q. Dogs may be used to hunt mountain lions and bears during the non-member hunts, provided that the dogs are owned by a legally licensed tribal member guide who must be with the hunter while in the field with the dogs. No person shall use any bait at any time to attract or take any big game on the San Carlos Reservation. SCRWD personnel shall be exempt from this regulation when in the performance of their official duties. DAN

What a first coues!!! congrats. DAN

here's the deal... Commissioners felt that nothing should be given away free so they wanted to change it to its own hunt with a price tag of $250 bucks, never happened for who knows what reason(s), so it just died at that BUT, they did decide that no more (ANY) tags would be given away for free, so now you gotta buy it the way it already was, so as it stands.... Mtn Lion Tag: $15.00 Daily Fee: $10/day Bag Limit: 5 per year Pretty good deal if you ask me. PS. Try not to rely on the website for info, no one monitors it and updates are only made as they happen, sometimes haha, best thing to do always is call and ask, if its too much of a hassle then i suggest taking BeardownAZ's advice and just don't hunt the rez and let someone else deal with it. DAN

Deer hunting was good on the north slope, we jumped a 3x3 100"er but let him walk, and we seen a spike later on but it started to rain so we never made it to our destination, also seen a pie-bald coues doe, she had a big white spot on her forehead haha and her flank areas were pretty white up high, she looked beautiful, didn't get any pics of her only video, she winded us soon after we spotted them, wind was the big thing though, way too windy so we just headed home. DAN

Forgot to add the score on this one... 125 4/8 gross and 120 2/8 net, a really great buck with plenty of character, i like it. DAN

OKAY well this buck had a rough gross of 137 0/8ths and a rough net of 133 0/8ths, breakdown... Inside= 14 2/8 Right= 56 3/8 Left = 56 1/8 Gross 3pt main frame= 126 6/8 Extras= 10 2/8 Deductions= 4 0/8 Awesome Buck!!! DAN

Don't worry about what UNIT to get, if you're working that overtime for a reason then just make sure you get a tag period, all the units have trophies!!! Your biggest concern will be just getting a tag, plan to do what you can to secure a tag, i'm sure there are plenty of guys on this site who can tell you their nightmares about waiting in line or line-jumpers or paid stand-ins or whatever, but there are also those who can tell you they just showed up and got a tag with no problem. Another thing is pay close attention as to what date exactly the tags go on sale, i can promise you it will change anywhere from 1 to 10 times haha, GOOD LUCK buddy and be sure to share your story and pics. DAN

yea we put the tape to him, take a guess at the score. DAN

Sorry forgot to mention that it was taken by a local tribal hunter not myself haha, i just wanted to get it posted before i didn't have time to do so, but from what i gathered from the hunter, he's been watching this buck for awhile now and knew exactly where to find him, and he says "good scouting paid off". DAN

Good lookin bulls, congrats. DAN

One solid bull for sure! DAN

his upturned fronts are cool, nice bull. DAN

hey congrats DAVE, now when are you going to come out and bag yourself a LION??? DAN

Those pictures are amazing, not to mention a great bull and hunt as well, congrats. DAN

Congrats! the dark antlers on that bull are awesome and the wavey 3rds look cool! DAN
