Hey just wanted to wish azhuntnut (DAVE) a happy birthday today, he's 36, i thought he was like 48 or something, haha jk dave, hope ur having a good one buddy!!! DAN

Hey everyone well thanks for all the comments, it's been pretty fun n exciting chasing them storms around n having them chase me around too, how do i get shots like that? well just pure luck i guess, actually most of the pics i got to come out were the ones where the lightning flickers in one spot for like a half second, i'm not fast enough to get split second shots haha, that close strike was totally awesome though, all i really remember was a very loud noise that did shake me n at the last min i finally remembered to take the pic, almost missed it, i'm glad it came out though, hope to post more pics soon n shed season for me will start next month, hard whites this year i guess. DAN

well its definately monsoon season around these parts now, seen lots of flooding and all that good stuff happening in Tucson and PHX, no floods here yet just lots of rain in the mtns, been a lightning storm chasing dude lately too out in the field, thought i'd share a few of the pics i've taken lately. DAN

Came across this one today in the field, noticed how "faded" the coat looked so i stopped and took a closer look, looked really white to me but not completely white, when she ran across the road i seen the spotted "pie-bald" look on the face, first time i've ever seen it with my own two peepers, cool. DAN

yea it was really cool to see that in the wild, of course when she was feeding up to the road in the thick stuff she just took her sweet ol time, then as soon as she hit the road she was across in no time, then once again in the thick back to just relaxing, i tried to get a pic of her and the other doe she was with for comparison, you could really tell the difference, but oh well. DAN

haha, cool, yea don't seize up on us now younghunter! that won't be good, yea i guess i'm just a lucky dude, see what else i can come across in the next few days, have a good one everyone. DAN

Came across this guy while i was heading after a radio collar up in the hills here today, not too shabby. DAN

here's some of what i've come across lately up in the high country, all during work hours though so no actual shed huntin for me yet, i still have yet to get out there for one trip still, maybe tomorrow, good luck to everyone and keep them shed pics coming! DAN

dang that thing has god some killer tines on him! nice ones dewey! DAN

Seen the same two bulls plus one other one i wasn't able to get a pic of today, again at lunch break of course, they were almost in the same exact area, one ridge over, the 7x5 is a little bigger than i had orignally thought, also seen a Mtn Lion earlier in the day too just hanging out on the rocks. ps. sorry david u can't have this lil' kitty, he's in my secret spot! haha jk. DAN

hey nice story there josh and pics too, reminds me of our type of shed hunting here on the rez, ridge to ridge, canyon to canyon, gotta leave someone on the other side to shout you directions, but of course we natives gotten a lil' more advance with the 2way's now haha, no more sore throat! hopefully i'll get to get out more often this year, last year i only made it out like twice, today i seen a guy with a rack at Barlow Pass on the rim, he picked up a shed from last year, lil' 5pt, also seen 3 bulls and a lion in the area too, good luck this year and hope u and i both pull out some big ones! DAN

spotted these 2 little guys yesterday during my lunchbreak, i knew they had to be around somewhere and there they were, just hanging out and having lunch too, the one was almost a 5x6 and the bigger of the two was a 7x5, man his 3rd on his left side was pretty good and nice looking browtines too, gonna be a monster in a few years maybe. DAN

Nice Looking shed right there, wish i could find one that big, thanks for posting. DAN

Here's a few pics i took of a couple of the Rocky Mtn Bighorns along the Rim here on the San Carlos rez, they were pretty close to the road... DAN

Super Buck WAYNE!!! keep up the good work buddy. DAN

I guess the old cartoon trick of sticking your finger in the barrel really works! haha, thats wicked right there! DAN

Congratulations once again on your wonderful buck Travis!!! we tapped out his buck really quick with a metal tape so i suggested to him he have it measured again soon because it's going to top 125" inches, but of course Travis being the true "humble hunter" he is was more happy about being able to get out there, do the work and get any kind of reward for it, good job buddy and can't wait to see the field pics of your MONSTER COUES!!!! one sweet looking buck for sure! DAN

here's a couple of "find the shed" pics, winner gets 1 under the table San Carlos Elk tag! haha...jokes, something to pass the time, anyone else got any "find the shed" pics to share? if you find the sheds just say you did and let everyone get a chance to check it out at least, i don't think they're that hard so yup yup...lets see those pics! DAN

finally got back to posting up pics of them sheds and where they were, found these 2 on my lunch break, went for a lil' nature walk in the trees just off the road there, spotted the first one out pretty easy, tried and tried to find the match but only found another shed haha, not the same buck though, still pretty good for a lunchtime stroll, hopefully will have more "find the shed" pics coming soon! DAN

WOW! i thought that they wouldn't be too tough, hmm, but probably the pic quality isn't best, anyways i think a day has been long enough, if you spot them then let's check them out!!! DAN

wuts up everyone, dang some nice looking skulls and sheds lately, cool, thought i'd share a little elk shed and a coues skull i came across yesterday during a Frog Survey in the Bear Wallow area on the SC rez, did a pretty good hike down into the creek and all the way up it to the eastern boundary fence, was nice to be out there looking around for something thats not there haha, no frogs around, surprisingly enough we found no Crayfish as well in Bear Wallow Creek, i guess thats a good thing though, well here's some pics... Eastern rez boundary. 5pt elk shed. 3x3 coues skull. front view. other side. pointing back to my house. just hanging out. DAN

sweet looking rack! i like his eagle claw looking points at the bases! *do the chickens have large talons?* haha DAN

now that a wide one right there! way to go. DAN

nice buck, congrats to the hunter. DAN

here's one from the SC rez, nice lil' guy with some stickers, thought i'd post some pics to scope out while everyone was doing their whatever haha, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! dress up as a coues deer! haha. DAN
