Coues 'n' Sheep

If there is a spot in 6A to look...... where you took that pick would not be a bad spot.... .... And hey even a blind squirrel finds an accorn every now and again..... Besides you have got to know that there are 400" bulls behind every bush out there in the woods, right??

That is Sweet, my friend!!!!! Is that this years??

I agree. The Pronghorn's are a great boot for hunting in AZ. I recommend the Lowa boots for sheep hunting of the North Country, however.

Indeed the early rifle tag is a top notch tag, but a 400 class no less is very very tough standards! Especially on a drought year! Drought Year???? Isn't that a bit dramatic..... First off, they say that the second year after a wet (or normal) year is better than the first..... that would be this growing season....... Second, we get got some decent moisture and are now in the process of getting more. The bulls are very fat and healthy..... and green-ups are showing up all over the place. This is going to be a good year for the bulls as long as we don't dry up and blow away between now and August..... However, as far as I know 400 inchers are hiding behind every tree in the woods, with as many guys like to drop that # when talkin' about bulls they have seen.... There is a formula I think that we can use to defuse the the over whelming sightings of 400" bulls........................................................................... .......................................................................... The "perceived" score of the bull.... in this case, 400" divided by 2, then subtract 50, and multiply by 2.45 and you are probably closer to what the bull Really Scores!!!!

Not even close to that unit.... Sorry..... If I see anything fresh I will let you know just the same. Good luck when you go out!

Me too...... Gunna try to go pick up those other sides from last week. Hope I get lucky again!

I was thinking the same thing Send us all one Amanda Freeloaders.........

Nice set. Congrats to your boy.

Unit 22 in Dec. is going to be a Circus!!!! 620 hunters in 2 weeks!! The AZG & F is a bunch of Frickin' Morons!!! They have taken tag allotment out of the hands of the unit WM's and focussed totally on "opportunity"...... Hope you all have good hunts.... ...but I fear that if you don't shoot a bull at day light opening morning (Nov.30th), it is going to get real tough real fast! The first 300 hunters are going to run every elk out of the country and the second hunt will be a rag horn hunt! I am not down talking the hunt.... just the AZGF Board... They are screwing us all with the whole "opportunity" concept!! Thanks for letting me vent!

Nov. Archery Bull unit 23!!!! My second choice.......

You have a hard enough time finding brown bone when it is attached to an 800 lb animal that you are hunting.... .... much less laying on the ground all by itself! You don't scare me..... other wise you would climb behind the wheel of your ranger and pick up all these horns!! Gotcha!

Thunderheads are always a great choice. However, I do favor the cut on impact heads for light draw weights..... esp. the NAP products like the Razorback. Good luck.

It snowed on the mountain this evening nasty driving conditions on my way home...

Well, got my allergy shot yesterday!!!!!! I woke up this mornin' feeling like a brand new man!! Worked all day and got home about 2:30 or 3:00. Thought that since it wasn't raining I'd throw a bike on my truck go check an easy spot that I know...... Got off the highway and parked my truck, then roled the bike off. The ground was bone dry....... Got to my spot and someone decided to burn a road all the way into a nearly forgotten water hole where I have often scored on multiple sheds... . By this point it was hailing pretty good so I parked the bike and made a quick pass and a couple of circles just in case.....nothing. They were Lazy and Early..... and moved the bulls out. So, I moved out to another ridge about a mile away where in the past I had found some really good deer sheds... Mulie and Coues. About half way down the ridge I spied a brownie! Guess the bulls moved that direction! I circled for a while with no luck. The weather was geting worse fast and the fog was setting in...... When I got back to the bike I was Soaked to the bone! The once dusty roads were now snot and my old fat cat slid all over the place. By the time she got me back to the truck she was steaming and smokin'.... I had to stop once to scrape the mud off of the tires so that I could get up to speed.... Ahhhh, the things we do for fun.... It was raining so hard when I got back to the truck I had to sit in the cab to snap the pic of my mud laddin bike. In the couple of hours that I was out there the ground when from dry to water puddles and wicked mud!! Just in time!! The grass needs water so that the Bull I intend to shoot this year grows Great Long, Massive bone on his head!!!!!

Great looking mount! Do you hava any pics from other angles? No, I took the photo at the Game and Fish office in Vernal, Utah when I was working up there last summer. I should be getting my mount back this week or next week and when I do I'll post a few more photos for you. Dogman what is a GSH dog? We have been hunting with a redtick, a bluetick and a couple of redbones and they have been hunting great, its always a thrill to watch the dogs hunt. German Short Haired Pointer (other wise known as GSP's) BTW.............. Anyone lookin' for GSP's just let me know. My Folks are "bird dog people". They run a pretty cool training/boarding outfit over in Chino Valley. The deal with all breds, but GSP's are their Fav. My Mom even trains those German Blood hounds that were at the Expo. Just an FYI...... Sorry, did not mean to hyjack.....

I would have said 85"+ on the buck and 335"-340" on the bull..... but he is a lil' weak on the G2's, broke G5, but he has pretty good mass and beams..... Great find!

Rifle, Archery, or Muzzle Loader does not really dictate the "premium" hunts...... unit and time of year are what make up a "premium" hunt. There are many Archery hunts that are way harder to draw than most rifle tags. Look at the draw odds page at the back of the regs. any hunt with less than 5-6% draw odds is a "premium"...... although I know of a couple of hunts that are 10-12% that I also consider "premium".

What do you mean you have not been looking You know I have a tag Get out there and find FRESH bear sign You may evan find a brownie or two Bino's been sitting at home doing nothing counting his money. I told you...... If I had your money I would burn mine!!!!

I have not seen any fresh sign yet. Can't say that I been really looking.... but I have seen a good bit of older sign in my travels.

Well I guess you better hire some REALLY good guide then...... Bein's that you hunt like I golf!!!!!

She is a beauty, Jim.... if she had a 5 speed I might have had to beg my wife .... heck, just that sticker in the back window has gotta be worth 2, maybe 3 grand! Good luck, bet she sells fast.

Well said.

I agree........ I think we would all rather that only our friends drew tags..... but, I really feel for the guys that go year after year with out a tag.

Hey, Does that Fix Or Repair Daily have a stick or a slopp-o-matic (oops that is a Dodge thing)..... I mean automatic????? Love the truck! Sorry you have to sell her.

A buddy of mine and his Dad drew early archry bull tags and they had late archery bull tags last year!! I am happy for them and I drew a tag as well so I am not whining...... but I agree with the waiting system of 3yrs after drawing a tag..... bonus point only.
