So I've had this deer on one of my parcels of land for at least the past 5 years(I have trail camera pictures dating back to 2019). I've never seen her/him during the day as 99% of the pictures I have are right around midnight. I did, however, have her come through last night right after 5:00 pm so I know she's still alive. I found one of it's sheds that I'm assuming is 2-3 years old. I'm curious what you guys think it is? True Hermaphrodite or pseudohermaphrodite?

A co-worker brought in this old deadhead and I thought it was unique enough to share.

I went up north to put a couple of cams in elk country. I was able to shed hunt for a couple of hours and only found an old busted but heavy shed. It was rainy and it even snowed so I wasn't able to go out as much as I wanted but we had a great time. I haven't taken a lot of pics of antelope but I thought this buck was awesome! The elk and deer were pretty shaggy but it was nice to see some animals and get outdoors for the weekend. Here are a few pics from the trip.

So I have posted a few of my pics lately and had a few comments about my pics being in a calendar and I got to thinking about putting a coues buck calendar together. These would all be pics of Az. bucks that I have taken over the years. My latest have been my best but I think I have enough to put together a decent calendar. If I get enough interest I will put one together. Thanks, Pixman

Here's my son Roy's deer that he shot yesterday.

My daughter, Sydney, took this deer on her first big game hunt. We're so proud of her.

In honor of the regs coming out today I thought I would share this gem I found a couple weeks ago while up scouting in eastern az. Decent Buck, eye guards chewed off. Good luck, everyone!

Well it took me long enough to post about my success but here it goes.... Well i happened to put in for 30B December just to say I got to go on a December hunt. I've hunted the unit a few times in the past so I knew where i wanted to go for opening morning on Sunday for the first day. I didn't scout the week before and that was heavily on my mind as opening weekend came closer. I only had the weekends to hunt because i had a new job .... anyway Sunday came and we got to our spot where i wanted to start ... hoping someone might push a buck to me from the main road. Right out of the door we see 4 deer 3 does and a big rack coming up over a small hill .... blood is pumping sweet deer right out of the gate and there's a buck ... quickly identified it as a mule deer. Well at least we saw a buck....the day went on and only saw 4 coues all does. Now i'm worried i won't get a buck let alone see one .... The next weekend is here and have a positive .. i have 2 days and I scouted on google earth for more access to some more country. Saturday morning we drive in and it's cold and windy... not a good sign...forecast calls for 30mph winds. We get to the spot I thought I wanted to be at from what i scouted on google. We get out and made our way up this draw seeing little sign....it's just getting colder as we press on with this wind. We come to the top of the draw and I tell my Dad to find me a big buck while a take care of some business ... I came back up just couple minutes later as i'm about to ask him where this buck is something made noise down below us....sat and waited for a few seconds and my father says it's a buck. I throw my back pack down get my tripod up rest my gun on it and start searching for the buck.....finally see him maybe only 125 yards should be an easy shot even with this wind.... only problem is I can't keep steady. With the wind pushing on my back and buck fever... SINCE I'VE NEVER KILLED A DEER. I couldn't get steady on his shoulder.... this whole time he is looking back into thick cover he was hunkered down in to see what the noise was and walking away.... My hunting partner makes his way up to me and throws his pack down and says " here get down and use it a s a rest. I get down on my knees and located him ok now how far is he....."300 yards" My buddy Paul says.... i calm my breathing and aim just at his back.....but I leave it back a little to adjust for wind... perfect broadside shot.... BANG! ... when I can see clearly threw the scope after the shot all I could see is him Rolling toward a bush ... I jumped to my feet and sigh of relief heck YEAH i got em! ... I got right back on my gun cause I thought better make sure he's down and not wounded. We would see him trying to get up ... falls and rolls into another bush this happened couple more times....untill finally we didn't see him anymore. YES! he's down my first deer and not a bad one ... not huge but for this unit ... small population of deer not a bad looking buck sweet ! We waited for 30 minutes to walk over to kill spot.... took us another 30 just to go 200 yards threw this jungle. We get to the last spot we saw him. We see blood and quite a bit of blood ... we can see where he was dragging and rolling. The walkie talkie goes off "He should be right in front of you" my buddy calls out. My Dad and I looked and looked but no deer ... uhhh ohhh. I told Paul to come on over and help track ... while Paul was making his way threw the bottom of this jungle .. I hear rustling and then what sounded like a wheez. Sweet that must be him Paul comes over and says " just shoot him in the neck." I go up and he hears me snaps his head looks me right int he eye......longest 5 seconds of my life. He then turns and tries to run and shoot him....bang fell right over. Waited another 20 minutes to make sure. We walked up and made sure he was expired. Now the celebrating can begin ... CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST DEER my Dad and Paul where telling me AND A DANDY FOR A FIRST! It turns out i shot his spin but it wasn't fatal just made him paralyzed from that point on which makes sense since he was trying to get up and run but could only use his front legs and rolled down the hill. I had lots of fun and can't wait till next year!

Here is a video from our hunt last December, I finally finished putting it together, hope you guys enjoy! Click the link below, then click on 2012 Coues Whitetail. http://www.youtube.com/user/19gaps/videos

So I live near unit 39 know the unit pretty well can spot out nice bucks and heards or sheep, for the past month or so I've been tracking Down a Tom and finally found him! This guy is decent size I have pictures of two does that run by the cam and about 30 minutes later the car is hot on their trail

big one following 3 minutes behind. Do you think it's a mom and older cub? or Boar following sow? any thoughts on how big this bull and buck are going to be based on the date taken?

I am designing 5 shirts (the first round) and am doing a "Bragging Rights Contest" to find some of the best pictures of Monster Bucks, Huge Elks, Colossal Boars or any other trophy game that’s worth its weight in Bragging Rights to create the shirts, and wanted to ask if any one reading this would like to submit a photo for consideration. If you are selected as one of the 5 “Bragging Rights” winners, a likeness of the game you submit will be reincarnated in its natural surroundings and reproduced on a shirt for others to see and enjoy around the world. To find out more information you can go to the picture submit form at: http://www.muzzlelife.com/webcon/bragging-rights-contest/ Thank you for your consideration, James www.MuzzleLife.com

Found these sheds in a new area we were hunting. All were found on one ridge. This one scores 192'' Also, a coues found many years ago during spring works on one of the ranches. Side view

I recently wrote a book, and while it's geared more for the novice and not necessarily geared for the experienced hunter, it may be beneficial for those who've been away from the sport for a while. I hope you all enjoy and benefit even a small amount from it. I'm not a writer by profession, but thought I'd give it a try. I've wanted to write a book since I was a kid and finally got it done. Here's a few links to where you can pick it up if you wish. It's primarily based on Coues deer, but I also included some Muley info. www.lulu.com/mediabyKevinG http://www.barnesand...nter/1016993652 http://www.amazon.co...nt to hunt deer I Hope that you all like it!
