A few shots from this weeks trailcamming! The squirrel with the pointy ears was a first, but the other thing is what has me stifled! Any help would be appreciated!

Coatti's are everywhere down south. Just saw a troop of 12 two weeks ago in unit 33.

And If you are Coati crazy- check out this read. - CHULO- A Year Among the Coatimundis. by Bil Gilbert.

 

 

It's actually a pretty good read. These folks spend like a year with these critters up near Kitt Peak in Az.

 

I've glassed em up a few times and run into them in the hills also. Tribal critters.

 

 

Nice trail cam pics- Good spot for sure!

I appreciate all the information on this crazy looking thing! I guess by the sounds of it I should expect to see more while hunting in southeastern Arizona!

Ive actually seen them up here by Payson a couple of times, I have even seen one at 6500 feet just east of here. Here is a video I took about a year ago.

The doe in the second pic kinda looks like a dog that wants to play

No one has mentioned it yet, but just in case your interested, you are allowed to shoot one per calendar year in Arizona. No special tag is required, just your hunting license. I don't think you'd want to eat one, but they do make a nice looking lifesize mount and a I'm sure it would be a fun conversation piece with all your Minnesota buddies.

I used course mineral salt. I like it better then salt blocks because they get their salt and move on, using a block I end up with too many images of the same deer because they need to keep licking to get the salt. My personal choice for trailcammin". I like corn the best, but way to expensive in Arizona, and very heavy to carry up the mountain to my little wildlife "honeyhole"!
