markhunts Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Hi, I've been on the site a few times and seen some of the trophies that some of you have taken.. Great site, and I just want to say, if most or all of you are like member Jeff Harrison, I'm impressed... We met Jeff last weekend while bowhunting.. He was a great person to talk to and gave up some info on where to possibly find a Javelina... My 16 year old son (bowhunter13) and I bowhunted the last week of December and the 2nd week of January in Arizona. We saw many deer and some nice bucks. Although we didn't see any pigs where Jeff mentioned, it was definitely "Piggy" country. We've actually hunted Arizona for Coues for many years, and have been fortunate to take some nice bucks, and a few Javelinas along the way. It was just nice to meet someone from the area that was willing to talk to us even though we were from out of state. It's hunters like Jeff that make the hunting community a great one to be around. Thanks Jeff. ( and by the way, I got a shot at an 80 inch buck later that day, and missed.............LOL).. But what a great time.. I did manage to score on a 20 year quest for me, by taking a mature Coati Mundi.. I got obsessed with them 20 years ago on my first hunt in Arizona, and have been trying to harvest one ever since.. This time the planets must have all been aligned.. LOL.... I know for most of you on here that live in Arizona, a Coati isn't a big deal, but they aren't in our area, and no one here has one, so I'm exstatic with my first... The Coues' pic is the buck I shot in Mexico in December. What a great hunt. He grossed 105, and is my biggest Coues to date.. I couldn't be happier.. Mark.

markhunts Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks everyone for the nice comments. And sorry Jeff, I told you I wasn't good with names. Henderson instead of Harrison.. LOL.. We did have a great year in 09. I'm fortunate to have full custody of my son, It's just been he and I for the last 12 years, so we've been very lucky to hunt many things together.. It doesn't get any better than that. We live in Utah Amanda, and have made many trips to Arizona hunting over the years. I must compliment you on your website, it's a great site. Keep it up. Thanks again, and Jeff we'll stay in touch. We're putting Remington in for the Juniors hunt in the fall, so hopefully he'll draw and we'll be back down. I've still got an unfilled archery tag, so maybe I'll get down there in August.. Oh ya, I am getting the Coati done in a full body mount. should look great, can't wait.
