Congrats to your boys!!!! Having fun is all that really matters for us father's anyway, right?

Great picture. Looks to be well within Bow range to me.

They require a mandatory reporting on all archery deer. Aren't they worried that if they go to a 20% = draw method that reporting numbers are going to plummet? Just a thought

Very nice buck. Must be great to live somewhere where the deer are plentiful.

Do you have any specifics? Hunter? Unit?

Those are some awesome pictures. Are you sitting in a ground blind?

What type of setup are you using to get your pictures? Camera? Lens? etc?

Then there will be a restriction on the size lens you put on your camera

I totally agree Tony. Protein feeders and food plots would be a better way to improve the deer herds in Arizona but I don't know of any programs that allow hunters to help out with this type of activity. I am sure that on private ranches supplemental feeding is being done, but not on public land. Why isn't G&F looking into something like this. It would strengthen the numbers and allow for more hunters in the field to produce the almighty BUCK in G&F's pocket, but at the same time allow for a better deer herd in Arizona.

I believe that my post was talking about corn and NOT SALT.

Funny you mention that Tony, that is exactly what happened last week during my hunt in Texas. Put a little corn into a soda can and shake it every now and then and they will come running. However I don't feel that we are anywhere near that stage hear in AZ. I do feel that we have to put down more of something to help the deer throughout hard times, even if we are unable to hunt over it.

Plumbeous Vireo????????

Can anyone tell me if any of the binocular adapters in the CW store fit on Burris Signature Series 12x50 Binoculars. I would like to mount them to the Slik Sprint PRO Tripod with some sort of panning head. I am not sure if I will go with the Jim White one or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Amanda. I do know that the cap unscrews and the the screw is 1/4" but I am not sure if the Swaro Adapter is skinny enough to fit between the barrels. Have any idea how wide the Swaro Adapter is?

I would love to, unfortunately I will be in Texas hunting some pigs.

Is it just me or are the two pictures of two different bucks? Just can't see alot of similarities between the two pictures other than he/they are huge.

Very nice buck....Congradulations

Sorry for your loss. Fortunately I haven't been subjected to getting any of my cameras stolen and I am appreciative of that. However, I do suggest trying to secure the camera to the tree with a big chain so then the person(s) that want to steal it will have to think long and hard as to if they want to carry a huge pair of bolt cutters with them for 2 miles in and 2 miles out to cut it off the tree. I guess that if they want it that bad then there is nothing that can be done to stop them. Again, sorry for your loss.

Put out this mock scrape on the 5th of December and already have bucks and does hitting it He's not big, but bigger ones will come Doe

I have had quite a bit of success with the "Wildlife Research Center" scents. Particularly the "Active Scrape", "Trails End #307", and "Doe Estrus". I have also had success with a grunt call. It is hit and miss with a rattle bag, but I have had them run in on occasion. "The Can" has also proved to be a useful weapon.

COOSEFAN: I suggested the Double Bull Blind to him, but he wanted to go cheap. Now he is paying the price in frustration. I may have to ask my wife to go take it down for him (because I can't do it either) so then he can return it and get a better blind.

Hey coocoo4coues, Isn't this day number 5 of you trying to break that thing down. I told you it was going to be a pain in the a$$.

curmugden: I would have to agree with you. I have hunted December and January in (35A/30B) very hard for the last 6 years and have seen that the rut has come later and later each year. Usually though, we start seeing pre-rut activity just after the archery season opens but don't see any chasing until the second or third week in January.
