Guest Alan Report post Posted February 24, 2004 I've been checking out this website for some time now and finally decided to join as a member. The number one reason for joining is that everyone here seems to be together as a family and the posts are always sincere and helpful. I've been in other hunting forums that get pretty nasty at times. Thanks for such a great site. I have just moved to Tucson after serving 20 years in the military and love the area. From 1996 - 2000 I lived in Flagstaff hiking, biking and hunting that great area of the state. Hunted coues deer one time on Fort Huachuca and plan to put in for a tag there again. Also spent 8 years in Colorado Springs and hunted the western slope near Montrose. After enjoying 3 months of terminal leave I have to get back to work. Looks like I'll be spending my days a Davis Monthan in the woodworking shop. Where is everyone from and what do you all do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Alan You are in a good area for coues. The fort down there in seira vista is a good spot to locate nice coues bucks. I grew up in St. David AZ it is about 45 minutes from there. I have hunted the wet stone mountains all my life and all the rest of those units down there. I have chased some good deer And mountain lions around in all of them. We used to go to a rodeo on the base every year and I saw some nice bucks while I was on there. I am stuck in the big city of Mesa now. I hope you enjoy the site and get some good info from it, And pass on the good info you will have for all of us too. Talk to ya down the line and welcome to the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted February 24, 2004 Welcome Alan! Glad you joined up. And I understand what you mean about some forums getting nasty. I don't want any of that here and I rely on all you guys for help keeping that negative stuff down. If you see a problem post, you can report it to me by just clicking the report this post button. I will delete any post that I feel is a personal attack on someone. Debate and disagreement is fine, but no personal attacks or nasty language. Anyway, in answer to your question. I live in Globe, AZ and am a wildlife biologist. I currently have my own consulting business in which I do wildlife surveys for whatever agency needs the help (US Forest Service, San Carlos Reservation, AZGFD, etc.). I also do this web site which takes a ton of time. And I do web site design for other groups. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rembrant Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Welcome Allen, I like your discernment. I quit looking at the other forums. I gotta get really bored to go there and haven't done that in a while. But I like checking in on this one daily - might miss something! I live in Flagstaff. I love the mountains all around Tonto Basin, and usually hunt the Gallueros on a second choice. I'm always lookin for the whitetail pockets around home too - for antlers and fun. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dodger Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Alan, Welcome to the site. I'm a newbie to here as well. I live in Tucson (born and raised here). I spent some time in Flagstaff as well while I was attending NAU. That's where I really got into hunting so I'm learning spots down here. I have spent the last 4 seasons in Galiuros and before that hunted a lot in the Chiracuhuas (I can never remember how to spell it). That was before I knew what I was doing (I'm not sure I know what I'm doing yet ). Hopefully this site will help you out in your future pursuits of coues. They can be addicting, I know I have caught the bug. Dodger/Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Glad you're joining in, Alan. I too am living in Flagstaff and teaching at Sinagua High School. I moved back to AZ from south Texas in 1990. Since then, G&F has sent me about 11 coues tags, for units 29, 36c, and 6a. Sure are fun to hunt. Doug/RedRabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondbackaz Report post Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) I'm much like Allen, I was born and raised here in Tucson, and still live here. Graduated from NAU up in Flagstaff and I am a shop teacher at a local high school. I like to hunt 36B the most since it it is such a diverse unit and have taken several deer out of there. The illegals have had an impact on this area and I am considering other units. Now Raul wants to make it wilderness and close of my access road to my favorite area.// Edited January 1, 1970 by Diamondbackaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
