I got one of them, they randomly selected people from the fall draw and sent out the survey to them...if you didn't get it then you didn't get picked no biggie

bout dang time!!! Yup he got himself a deer tag

You got yourself a nice gun, that's what I carry myself incase any illegals wanna taste lead!

I just talked to younghunter last night as he was in Anchorage waiting for his plane ride home. The dude's okay and didn't get mauled by any bears, he said he got falsed charged 8 times! Hope we'll get lots of pictures from him soon.

I just bought the newer Swarovski SLC 15x56 about a week and half ago, gotta love the feeling of new binocs

I came across a bear and cub today but that's in 35A and there's no bear huntin there, I was able to watch em 25 up to 60 yards away, i had the quad all revved up incase she decided I was some sort of intruder

I always hunted coues in the oak/juniper hills, but this year I'm off to a new unit. On my scouting trips we're locating most bucks in the mesquite flats and not too far from them are ocotillio covered hills. I read about bucks taken from these ocotillo hills, are they there in the october seasons just as much as they're there in december? Right now I glassed up a few bucks feeding on the super green leaves on these ocotillo, will they still be feeding on these leaves when they die off later into the fall? Thanks for any help, it's a whole new ball game for me in the lower desert areas!

I got the same tag as well, if you do your scouting and locate bucks early and be patient you'll have a good chance at a 90 incher. I've been doing mucho MUCHO scouting but I don't wanna give anything away! Mark Freeburg is the Game and Fish warden for 34A/34B, give him a call at 520 762 8172, he won't give you locations on the big booner bucks but he'll give you general areas to start scouting. Good luck dude!

I just talked with Duwane Adams and he said that the bucks antlers harden up approximately September 15th +/- a week

Down in South eastern AZ I'd say they are about 3/4 done growing, I see a couple of bucks that haven't forked their 3rd points and the end of their antlers there's bulbs. Give it a couple weeks and they'll be right at their peak I believe.

no need to be sorry guys, it was GREAT! I had ALOT of folks watching me, it was a mudpit wrestling show down in Show LOw at a camp I worked at, so I rode a bike off a ramp as hard and as fast as i could, someone mentioned I got atleast 5 ft of height and the landing crushed my knee, it was tight and i got a great scar and metal plate, makes me look tougher to those chicks In some cases it wouldn't matter about how good of a shape you're in...if you're in nasty shape you could spend all morning hiking one hill and you'll glass all day..which is what you should do!

tell me about it, even right now with the green leaves on em they're tough to find because of the lime stone background, hopefully the upgrade from Zeiss to swarovski will help me out a teeny bit

I JUST got this picture in, this is how I crushed my knee this summer, it shattered RIGHT at this moment!

I know these aren't "close up" pictures but they're pictures of coues deer neverless, most days i drive out for bout 5 minutes to a glassing point just to hone my eyes for the upcomin seasons, the bucks are finally starting to take up shape now 3 bucks in here A lone doe, caught her as she was just comin over the hill There's 2 does in here but only 1 can be seen Then the rain pushed us out

Good to hear! Thanks!!

I'm dealing with the opposite situation than most of you guys! I crushed my knee earlier this summer and lost 12 lbs of my precious oily muscles, but i've been back into the gym these past 3 weeks and gaining a FEW quarter pounds since then.

TOUGH hunt!! Lots of people, every year someone postes a buck from or near devil dog road but there's TONS of people camped out there during the season. Best chance is to get away from the crowd...seriously

This is taken after a monsoon storm, you can see the moon near the upper right corner

we can go all night on this topic, i give up....whatcha doing being a "loser" like me on here on a Saturday night at 9 20?

that really sounds like a serial killer's name right there... Tyler James Scott....well possibly a coues buck serial killer eh?

the story's great....i can barely see the rack when it's sitting on my shelf though! It's the "grey ghost" of antlers!

i gotta say if it's gonna be a boy...Tyler is a great name since it's my name and my dad's name is Scott, we pair up to be pretty good hunters so it might be in the luck of names, just letting you know

I reconized your avatar picture right away from the coues hunting book, 108 inch buck, 34A in 1998 shot at 450 yards with a .270...NIICE! Congrats on the upcoming kid and best of luck

that one beats my avatar picture, you should try to put that down for bull picture of the year at King's outdoor world

Got it from a thrift store in Ft. Huachuca for $6.50, it has a double split on eye guards and a broken off g-3, it looks a fresh break so I might assume it broke off when the man shot it? The tag was still on it and it was taken on a November hunt in 1985 on Ft. Huachuca.
