Went out the other day to pick up this set, was a very cold day but it was worth the hike. DAN

Now that bull has got potential!!! just like graduating from Malay Gap to Drylake, nice set. DAN

ASwho?

Sorry to hear about your bad luck/bad day, spoke with the Sgt. here at SC Rec & Wildlife and he says we do not require non-members to have/need a permit to pass through Seneca onto 24A, the Rez only has 2 available "Pass Through" permits and they're for the south of Bylas area, other than that you only need a Recreation Permit to pass through the non-closed areas of the rez say like through Eagle Creek onto state land, what yourself and everyone else has been saying is exactly what the Sgt. told me, "since its just a mile or so we do not require non-members to have a permit to pass through Seneca onto 24A", so the bottom line is NO you or anyone else does not need to have a permit to pass through Seneca onto 24A, i have a feeling you got the ROOKIE ranger and he takes his job a little bit too serious for whatever reasons, because the couple other rangers i asked said the same thing "we don't ticket anyone going through Seneca to get to state land", so please don't let it get you too fired up, it's just too bad something like this happened but i'm sure we all have our bad luck days from time to time so hopefully this brings a little bit of closure to your situation, i know the taste is bad but hopefully it will eventually go away. DAN

That is the way to get-r-done, good job, sweet looking buck too, congrats. DAN

nice buck! Good job. DAN

nice sheds, especially the set, sweet, isn't that the same kind of ride that jumped the creek in ROAD TRIP??? DAN

HOLY EYEGUARDS!!!!! DAN

My uncle shot this nice buck during the tribal member deer season here on the San Carlos, its got great main beams and good mass, gross score is 108 B&C. He's looking to get it shoulder mounted, anyone know what a good shoulder mount runs these days? any recommendations? DAN

Hey thanks for all the info guys, yea my uncle don't really mind the prices, he's just been out of the taxi-cost list for awhile so he just wanted to know what they're running today, first thing he's gonna get mounted in a long time, he took this buck in UNIT C, not on the Nantac, just stopped there for some photos. For all the guys with San Carlos NOV and JAN tags, not too many big coues were taken this year from the tribal hunt, from the sounds of it a lot of big deer got away, and if you guys havn't been out here in awhile don't freak out on all the dried up tanks all over the rez cuz there's plenty, regarless everyone still saw deer in the usual honey holes though. Also i'll go ahead and drop the bomb about a 136" gross 3x3 coues that was killed by a tribal member this season, i've only seen pictures and it's pretty amazing, i gotta get more info on it still though, sorry for the tease guys.

WOW! thats a sweet buck, love the eyeguards, congrats to the whole crew! DAN

Congrats to everyone, especially to your wife on a killer first coues buck! Now the hard part is topping it. DAN

Pictures of San Carlos Lake for those who havn't been out lately, water is very low right now, already talks of people catching some big fish, they have nowhere to hide now, the water is so low some of us Apaches might be able to move back to Old San Carlos lol. DAN

Excellent sheds, nice looking bucks, way to go on the elk too for the in-law. DAN

Now that is a very impressive buck right there, regardless of score thats one of the most beautiful bucks i have ever seen, great job. DAN

Beautiful Bull Elk, congrats!!! DAN

Yea that guy got ripped up, but still a cool find anyday anywhere. DAN

Way to have your Antler eyes on david, don't worry you're probably not the only one who didn't want to go down there and get it, that's why its still there. DAN

sweet pair of elk sheds to go with all the rest, nice! DAN

Daaaaaannnggg (joe dirt), nice couple of sets man, if i were you i wouldn't give up just yet, keep hitting the old stomping grounds, of course the same bull ain't gonna stay in the same place forever but i think you got a good idea of where 06 might be hidding, sweet racks for sure tho, good luck this coming season, will there be a 2008 set? DAN

Being a tribal member from SC and hunting here all my life, i can give a little info on the rez. The thing i like about here is you can hunt just about anywhere and find coues, and not only that but in all 4 Units you can hunt either up high in the pines, down low in the stickers and cactus, or inbetween in the oaks, juniper, and acorns, and and, always have the option of DIY (excluding R-100). But i guess as far as the trophy quaility goes, i definately agree with most comments here that there are some very nice bucks taken on the rez each year but not the caliber to match Mexico, just by looking at all the giants from this year and last and even before that there are consistently 120+ bucks taken down in Mexico, i don't think there's been anything that big off the rez here since the 196 NT was killed back in the dinosaur days. I think the only thing that makes most ppl second guess Mexico is all the things you mentioned with checkpoints and whatnot, but i'm sure its one of those things that you just have to get through in order to experience the Glory in the end, its the same out here on the rez as some know, sometimes you get right through that line outside or you get someone to buy your tag and you're set, OR, you get different stories and mix ups and end up pulling out your hair and hating the rez in the end all because of a bad experience, tough choice, whatever you decide, good luck and don't forget to share your experience with us all!!! DAN

Now this is what i like to see, Primetime couldn't have said it better, "Good friends, Good times", i mean of course thats what we all enjoy about hunting, also a good example that, in my opinion, no one unit is better than the next out here on the rez, we all have our good hunts and our bad hunts too but thats all just part of hunting, enjoy the outdoors with your family and friends while its still all around us! DAN

come on Amanda you mean to tell me as wide as that shot is you still don't know where it is?? haha jk, you'll figure it out eventually. DAN

Congratulations on an excellent hunt, nice big body on that first buck too, all great bucks for sure, good job to everyone! DAN

Hey Travis what a beautiful buck, another 100" incher to your collection, for those who might not know Travis took a really nice 4x4 last year as well, how many over 100 does that make for you now? how about how many in a row? keep the streak going my friend! DAN
