coueshunter Report post Posted May 26, 2004 Ernesto: The meeting is August 19th at 5:30 pm at the Moutain Preserve Reception Center in Phoenix. Doug McKenna from USFWS will discuss any/all new proceedures the USFWS will enforce this year. He will probably discuss what has transpired with their meeting with Mexican governmental officials. In addition to this presentation there will be Duwane Adams talking about coues hunting and Jay Gates talking about Mule Deer. Jim White will discuss tripods etc... and Chris Denham will assist Jim and speak on optics. This is the annual Arizona Deer Association meeting that is free to members and around 10.00 for non-members. There will be guns raffled off and lots of interesting Monster deer heads to view. Hopefully lots of southern AZ boys show up along with the Phoenix contingent. Thanks Kirk for the straight forward info on Mexico...........Allen Taylor...........

CouesCrazy Report post Posted May 26, 2004 Thanks Kirk and Ivan for all the info. It makes me more comfortable knowing that. It was probably just a rumor that got started and you know how that goes. About the antlers, I have seen alot of people with antlers they are bringing back from Mexico and was wondering how they were doing it. Apparently they are doing it Illeagly. I talked to a guy that said in Agua Prieta they told him at the border that sheds were fine as long as it wasnt an intact skull. I told him he was wrong but he still brings them back evry year.

coueshunter Report post Posted May 27, 2004 As for bringing sheds accross, I have brought them through Agua Prieta and "Tried" to bring them through Nogales this past January. I had all the sheds confiscated from me in Nogales because I didnt have the necessary paperwork Kirk is talking about. In each border crossing you will hear various different stories or you will be passed through when you should have had the sheds taken from you. The whole point is that USFWS is now enforcing proceedures that may have been in place before but not enforced. We need to make sure we are following all the laws so you dont sit at the border for 3 hours discussing Lacey act violations like I did this past January. Thanks Ivan and Kirk for passing on proceedural info and anyone who can should come to the Arizona Deer Association clinic to hear the most recent info from USFWS............it may save you some hear ache...........Allen Taylor.............
