ERNESTO, GREAT COMMENTS, BUT WE DO LIVE IN AMERICA AND THAT IS WHY WE CAN JOKE ABOUT IT. I ALSO THINK "DO IT RIGHT, ENJOY IT, AND RETURN HOME SAFE" WOULD BE A HECK OF A BUMPER STICKER, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD FIT WITH THE COUESWHITETAIL.COM, MAYBE. AMANDA, GREAT FORUM, EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE AN OPINION.

I DO THINK ALL ANIMALS DESERVE RESPECT, AND I WOULD AND WILL CONTINUE TO HUNT MULE DEER WHEN I GET THE CHANCE. WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT THINGS NEED TO BE TAKEN FOR WHAT THEY ARE, THE SCENARIO DESCRIBED ABOVE IS THE EXTREME, AND THE ACTIONS OF ONE SHOULD NOT DICTATE THE WAY PEOPLE LIVE. I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM, BUT A JOKE IS A JOKE. I BELIEVE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT TAKE OFFENSE TO ANYTHING, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REASON TO FIGHT, WE NEED TO SEPERATE OURSELVES FROM THOSE PEOPLE. I THINK THIS WEBSITE AND THE INDIVIDUALS ON THIS WEBSITE PROMOTE HUNTING, AND THE OUTDOORS, BUT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE AN OPINION WHETHER WE AGREE OR NOT.

http://coueswhitetail.com/forums/index.php...act=ST&f=8&t=75 THIS IS ON 35A FROM A FEW MONTHS AGO

I HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO SCOUT RECENTLY, BUT WITH MY HUNT AT THE END OF THE MONTH I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT. I HAD SCOUTED SEVERAL TIMES PRIOR TO THE ARCHERY HUNT, AND THEN DID NOT GET TO GO DOWN SOUTH FOR ARCHERY. I AM HOPING THAT SOME OF THE BUCKS WE SEEN ARE STILL IN THE SAME AREAS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL KEITH

I do not see where there is a problem, CHD while I think you make some valid points, we should not have to be PC on everything, every one of us love to hunt, though we might prefer to hunt one animal more than others. I do not think we are going to hurt the feelings of a deer, as for the hunters it should be taken in jest, and I could care less about Boone & Crockett, Safari Club, or Pope & Young, I hunt for me, any animal I take is a trophy to me. I do not think I have called Mule deer carp once while talking about them, but the bumper sticker idea is funny. I hope I didn't offend anyone, I just think some things should not be taken so seriously. GREAT FORUM

I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THEM I WOULD BUY ONE, AND I DIDN'T HUNT COUES DEER UNTIL LAST YEAR. I HAVE HEARD COUES CALLED DOG DEER, JACKALOPES AND ANY OTHER NAMES THEY CAN THINK OF, SO CARP SHOULDN'T HURT ANYBODIES FEELINGS.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA, I ALSO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WHAT KIND OF PICTURES PEOPLE ARE GETTING ON THE TRAIL CAMS

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE OUT THERE WITH A BOW IN THE COMING WEEKS, I CAN ONLY HUNT SATURDAY THIS WEEKEND AND TURKEY WILL BE MY GOAL, I WILL BE IN 17A, IF I GET A CHANCE AT A NICE MULE DEER I AM TAKING IT, I HAVE NOT SEEN A COUES IN THIS UNIT BUT, I HAVE HEARD A FEW HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM HERE, NEXT WEEKEND I WILL BE IN 35A HUNTING/SCOUTING, GOOD LUCK KEITH

I JUST READ THE ARIZONA OUTDOORSMAN MAGAZINE AND THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF ARTICLES ON COUES DEER HUNTS, ONE ARTICLE MENTIONS JOSH EPPERSON (IS THAT THE SAME ONE ON THIS FORUM), I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOOD STORIES, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE TEN SHOTS ON ONE DEER

I WASN'T CRITICIZING, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I MISSED A 50 YARD SHOT ON THE LAST DAY OF DEER SEASON, NEW GUN, NEW SCOPE, ZEROED AT 300 YARDS, SHOT ABOUT 2 BOXES THROUGH IT, AND I MISSED AT 50 YARDS, AND THERE WAS A WITNESS, HE IS STILL LAUGHING AT ME, I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG (BUCK FEVER MAYBE), BUT HE DIDN'T LET ME SHOOT AGAIN

THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAVE A DATE THAT I CAN SEE, VOLUME 1-ISSUE 2, BRETT HITE IS ON THE COVER, COUES DEER DOUBLE MENTIONS JOSH TAKING TEN SHOTS TO GET A DEER, THE ONLY REASON I ASKED WAS THERE APPEARS TO BE TWO BRIAN DRAKES THAT HAVE BEEN ON THIS FORUM, AND YOU ARE RIGHT THIS IS A GREAT FORUM WITH AS MUCH INFORMATION AS ANYBODY COULD ASK FOR, THANKS AGAIN OH BY THE WAY THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY CHRIS DUNN

I KNOW THIS IS AN OLD TOPIC BUT I JUST READ IT, I SHOOT A THOMPSON 54 CALIBER HAWKEN STYLE MUZZLELOADER, I HAVE HAD IT FOR TWO YEARS AND SHOOT IT PRETTY WELL, I HAVE NOT BEEN DRAWN FOR ANY MUZZLELOADER HUNTS YET, BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO USE IT, ALSO A FEW YEARS AGO WE BOUGHT A 45-70 SHARPS REPLICA FOR MY DAD, IT WAS A FUN GUN TO SHOOT, ONE PROBLEM WAS MY DAD COULD NOT SEE THE SIGHTS VERY WELL, HE TRADED IT FOR A MARLIN GUIDE GUN IN 45-70 WHICH HE COULD SHOOT VERY WELL

I SCOUTED THE CANELO HILLS AREA LAST WEEKEND, WE SEEN THREE BUCKS NEAR HWY 83, WE SEEN DEER ALL DAY, MULIES AND WHITETAILS, WE ALSO SEEN ONE HUGE ANTELOPE BUCK, NO OTHER ANTELOPE WERE AROUND, THIS WAS BACK IN THE CANELO HILLS IN AN OPEN MEADOW, I WILL TRY TO SCOUT THE RESEARCH RANCH AREA IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, AGAIN THANKS FOR THE INFO

I AM LOOKING FOR ANY INFO ON UNIT 35A FOR THE EARLY SEASON RIFLE HUNT, I HUNTED THERE FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST YEAR AND HUNTED NEAR PARKER CANYON LAKE, IT WAS ALSO MY FIRST TIME HUNTING COUES DEER, I PUT IN FOR THIS UNIT THIS YEAR AND ANY INFO WILL HELP THANKS KEITH

THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO. , WE WALKED CLOSE TO 15 MILES EACH DAY LAST YEAR ON THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF OUR HUNT, WE WERE AROUND SUNNYSIDE CANYON, I PLAN TO WALK A LOT LESS THIS YEAR AND GLASS A LOT MORE, I HAVE ALREADY STARTED SCOUTING, AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MY HUNT, NOW I HAVE A LOT MORE LOCATIONS TO CHECK OUT, AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO....KEITH

WE REPORTED WHAT WE SEEN TO GAME AND FISH, THEY CALLED BACK WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS AND WANTED EVERY DETAIL WE COULD REMEMBER, WE HAVE NOT HEARD NOTHING SINCE THEN.

I SCOUTED 35A YESTERDAY, SEEN TWO BUCKS, ANTLERS ARE GROWING NOW, SEEN LOTS OF DOES, THE TWO BUCKS WERE TOGETHER. I AM READY FOR ARCHERY SEASON. I WILL PROBABLY HUNT UP NORTH FOR THE FIRST WEEKEND OF ARCHERY SO I CAN HUNT TURKEY, I HAVE A RIFLE TAG IN 35A, SO THE FOLLOWING WEEKENDS I WILL BE DOWN THERE TO SCOUT AND MAYBE GET LUCKY, GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE

I WAS SCOUTING YESTERDAY IN 35A, WE SEEN A COUPLE OF BUCKS ANTLERS WERE ONLY 3-4 INCHES LONG, BUT THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD SIZED DEER, SEEN LOTS OF DOES. THERE HAD BEEN RAIN ON FRIDAY WITH PUDDLES ALL OVER, BUT THE STOCK TANKS WERE EMPTY, IT WAS STARTING TO RAIN AS WE WERE LEAVING AND THAT SHOULD HELP

I WAS TOLD THAT THE BONUS POINT HAD TO BE HUNG AND AGED FOR A YEAR OR MORE BEFORE IT IS READY, I DON'T THINK MOUNTING IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD EVERYBODY HAS ONE OR TWO OR FIVE

MY BROTHER GOT ELK FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW (NOT THAT I AM BITTER, BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN DRAWN FOR ELK IN FIVE YEARS), HE GOT DEER IN 17B, LUCKY I GUESS

IF WE ARE LUCKY SOME RAIN FROM THE HURRICANE WILL MAKE IT INTO AZ, ANY PART OF THE STATE WOULD BENIFIT, AND WITH THE RESULTS OUT EVERYONE WILL KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING,GOOD LUCK I DREW 35A FOR COUES, NOTHING ELSE

WHAT UNITS HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING FIRES AT THIS TIME, MY SECOND QUESTION IS HOW DO THE FIRES AFFECT THE COUES DEER ASIDE FROM ELIMINATING COVER

I DREW 35A OCT. , DID NOT DRAW ELK OR ANTELOPE AGAIN

I WONDER HOW MANY JAGUARS ARE OUT THERE, I SEEN ONE LAST YEAR IN 35A IN OCT.

DID YOU CHECK IN THE BOWHUNTING FORUM, THERE ARE SOME IDEAS IN THERE, DO YOU WANT TO HUNT IN THE NORTH OR SOUTH PART OF THE STATE OR DOES IT MATTER
