Am I the only one counting MINUTES down till you leave to go hunting? i cannot wait to go hunting. I am literally goig crazy waiting for Wednesday to come around to leave on my hunt. I bought a new Yamaha Rhino for this years hunt as i sold my Jeep. Anyone up for meeting up in Arivaca anywhere? I have a house there and we can BBQ What is everyone doing to pass the time by? Tomorrow is the big gun show here in Vegas and I figured I would go purchase 500 more rounds of 30-06 shells to last me the next few months. (no i do not plan on missing that many shots) Then Sunday is Football, Monday and Tuesday is getting caught up on my paperwork so I can sneak out of here for the hunt Tuesday night or so. WOOHOO... I am literally counting the minutes down till I leave.

yes, most definetly... a safe and enjoyable hunt for all. 6 days 152 hours 9125 minutes 547527 seconds as of right now.....

in case you miss my PM I would like a CouesWhitetail.com sticker in 15" in white for my RHino and a 28" (so it fits on my center rear window of my Titan) as well in White. I only have 28.5" side to side so 28 would be perfect.

I will give you a call. I have been scounting alot in different areas and have found MANy good hunting areas. I am EXCITED about this years hunt... I think iht is more then previous years... but my girl reminds me I am like this every year.... OK.. Maybe I am.... I am doing some last minute walks around BAss Pro Shops today to see If I see anything I may want... You know how that goes.

What is negative about myspace? Competition for this site? Hardly. Myspace has a HUGE member base and many times people visit your page then look through your interests groups etc. I have many hunters from aroudn the country ono my page... they would maybe get interested in Coues if they read it on my page.

I have glassed up some monster bucks...... and a few rattlers....

These guys piss me off, why do they not get littering tickets when they leave spray painted black jugs full of water out in the desert?

Alot of deer i saw are down low. i was up high quite a bit and saw very little as compared to 3 weeks ago seeing many shooters and doe. I am exicted about my upcoming hunt. Cannot wait.

who was scouting down in 36b today? Down by big sandy? A couple guys in a chevy or dodge... I did see ALOt of deer and bucks... Believe it or not most were in velvet... This means GETTING BIGGER

It was probably you guys. I am headed bback down on Tuesday. will be there till Thursday if anyone can break free for a mid week scouting trip.

probably was you guys. Did border patrol stop you at one time too? Ask you what ou were doing?

how long are you staying?

I am really getti Ansie.... If you want the worlds best Coues Taxidermist go with Doyles in Tucson..... I am shooting my gun today and going scouting on Tuesday for a few days. I have been really pleased with the amoutn and quality of bucks we have already seen.

younghunter, let me know what it looks like down there I have a Nov. tag and haven't had a chance to get down yet. good luck and have fun. there are no deer anywhere. DO not bother going hunting... they are few and far between and i think it is best if you rest up for next year.

everything seems about right, except your illegal count and water jug count seems extremely low

sorry guys i will not be down this weekend. i will be headed up this coming Tuesday and staying until Thursday. I will be pulling my new Rhino up thee and reitring the jeep. I have a brand new Rhgino thats is camoflaged COMPLETELY. Say hello. If it is not me hoepfully the guy is nice. I happen to have a house I purchased in Arivaca so I wont be camping my this year. Although I will be on the hill early AM each morning scouting. anyone available for midweek scouting?

was out last weekend and still saw velvet on some bucks. Although I did see some have rubbed.

Unit 36 huh?

not when people have slashed tires and damaged hunters vehicles who have been hunting in the area where these two bucks have been killed. This is the story I know of and indeed relatives of the stockwells. the things and stories I have heard indeed would lead me to believe most of the stories told are probably true.

Is any of these guys related to Ed stockwell? After a conversation with eddie this past weekend I was made aware that his cousin had shot a huge non typical in the 15X range. He also had a replica in Cabellas in Phoenix.

After a visit to Eddie Stockwells house I got some crazy info for everyone. The Coues deer mount that is in the world record books sits right inside Eddies house. Cabellas purchased the mount for 1000 dollars. They write up a contract to give royalties off of each reproduction head they make. Well they have seen ZERO royalties as of yet. 47 times the antlers have been reproduced.

I saw lots of deer around 40 in all and around 20 bucks. A few good size deer too. Saw the same deer as last time out that is posted in another thread and he has grown a bit more. He is without a doubt 120" 4 point Deer. I also saw some mulies. Heres some interesting pics of some mulies and a small coues deer. most of these pics were at less then 50 yards

My opinion is that the lower, easier country tends to have more deer numbers and smaller bucks on the early hunts, and the bachelor herds of older bucks stay up in the thick, rough, and remote stuff, but are in lesser numbers. I also killed a nice "forkie" last year on the Oct. hunt and you probably heard my shot on opening day if you were where you spoke of! I started off way low and speed hiked past all the does' and small bucks and gazillion other hunters to try and get way into the remote country and that is where I found the bigger bucks by themselves, and fewer deer numbers in comparison to the lower country. This is not always the case but seems to be fairly common in my experiences. There are big bucks down low but are usually runnin' scared from the chaos of all the other hunters, I'd rather glass em' up bedded or feeding unaware they about to become dinner! JIM> you about summed up my experience as well. The migrant traffic seems to be way down from last year. I did however see three bus loads from a huge group coming across.

You know that part!!!! No really I go out towards Ajaz mine alot and hump over two mountain ranges to the south.

i too use the same tripod. I also installed their new pistol grip head and it is AWESOME
