I met with Siwash today at Bull Basin Archery in Tucson. Class act right there, I bought his Bee Stinger stabilizer. Had a great conversation with him, I would buy from him again given the chance. Thanks Siwash!!!

Sunset Crator, Sedona, A lottle Town called Strawberry, there is a few BnB's there.

I am a lefty as well but..... I was taught to shoot right handed, guess I am outa luck with this one. Still get teased! lol Great news, glad you got it back!

I saw that truck here in Tucson the other day! BAD A$$!!!!

I too have found a very small one down there in the 36's, as well as 34's and 35's. You just got to put boots on the ground!

I know where that spot is..................................................Arizona! lol Great spot, I'll gladly take care of your buck problem, just let me know.

The paint you used, was is oil based or latex? I can see the oil based doing that with the styrofoam.

WHY?

My buddy and I sat during the Jan. hunt and watched the helicopter buzz the mountain range we were glassing for over 20 minutes. He told me that he had read some where that the G&F would be doing surveys in the unit. Why the F&%! are they doing surveys during a hunt???????

AZlance I must have missed it! And I thought I knew that unit, where is it? lol

The reason they wont lower the rifle tags is very simple...........THEY WANT THE MONEY!!!!! They get the money from the archery hunters any way. Just go to another unit. The rifle hunters will get their tags, and the G&F gets the most amount of money they can get out of that unit just like 34A.

Guys don't forget about the Chuckwalla they too look simular.

You almost had me there Tj. Although your idea would be a very good change.

The A-5 is a very good camera, I have had mine since last May and it has never failed.

big white Ford Coues whitetail and Cabelas stickers on the back window at the Qt Houghton and Golf Links at 3pm. nice looking rig!

That is what you call a raghorn? Nice pics.

Tj I am right there withya and I live down here!! lol

I will be right here in southern AZ chasing deer with anybody that wants to or by my self. No money to go out-of-state, barely enough to run around here.

OK guys here is a pic I took while chasing Coues a few years ago. I have run into several over the years, very interesting animal if you ask me.

Might want to check to be sure, but my interpretation is that putting out corn is illegal regardless of when it is done. There is nothing in the law that translates to "during a hunting season." Also, take note of the OR in "for the purpose of attracting or taking big game" under 4A. R12-4-303. Unlawful Devices, Methods, and Ammunition4. An individual shall not use edible or ingestible substances to aid in taking big game. The use of edible or ingestible substances to aid in taking big game is unlawful when:a. An individual places edible or ingestible substances for the purpose of attracting or taking big game, orb. An individual knowingly takes big game with the aid of edible or ingestible substances placed for the purpose of attracting wildlife to a specific location.5. Subsection (A)(4) does not limit Department employees or Department agents in the performance of their official duties.6. For the purposes of subsection (A)(4), edible or ingestible substances do not include any of the following:a. Water.b. Salt.c. Salt-based materials produced and manufactured for the livestock industry.d. Nutritional supplements produced and manufactured for the livestock industry and placed during the course of livestock or agricultural operations. Tony my statement is based on several conversations with G&F officers and supervisors, if they r wrong then I am also wrong. That intrepretation makes no sense. One of the reasons corn and other food stuffs were banned was the spread of CWD, etc. If such items would promote the spread of diseases while hunting over them, they would also do the same when those items are used for feral hogs and/or trail camera use because per the law, they would be attracting wildlife. Tony I don't want to argue law with you but there is another phrase in that rule, "for the purpose of attracting or taking big game," Now when G&F lists Ferrel hogs as big game and starts regulating the taking of them then "baiting" them will become illegal.

As it stands with G&F placing "bait" isn't illegal until you hunt over it, weather you placed it there or just found it. Hunting over bait is and will always be illegal.

The last thing I would add is specific to your last comment. Cameras, I have learned in the last 4 weeks, improves a hunters education dramatically about the environment. There is so many things to learn from looking at the pictures you have captured. If we are all being true to improving the animal population, taking mature animals, etc. than what better way than to let a 280" bull walk because you are "educated" to the fact that there are more mature animals to harvest? Likewise, if you learn an area is under populated, make a decision not to hunt there and move on....your analogy suggests cameras are responsible for harvesting big animals as if it a bad thing? How about the twenty or so 2 and 3 year old animals that get to live another year because of the education a camera provided? Lastly, a camera is not a substitution for scouting, etc. I still think this is essential as well. wow you really took that personal. I received a lot of likes for that post so I'm not alone in my thoughts. I'm sure I'm from another generation of hunters and we did it all on our own I for one have a very limited time I can scout due to working 6 days a week. The use of several cameras has given me more insite to the population in a given area. I can place two or three cameras in one area and two or three in another the next week, and scout the first area in the morning and check the cams in the afternoon. SORRY I have to maximize my time in the field. By the way finding good animals with a camera doesn't equel a kill you still have to hunt the animal.

but it is near willow spring ranch, is there fox around there, seems to low of elevation..... I almost had one with my bow during the opener in Dec.

judging from the rat I would say it was a fox.
