Too late Mike, was out there all day today and found 9 sheds. 3 were new and I found the match to that killer 3 point only mine is a 4. Same kind of height on the tines just another 4" G4. I saw footprints so they must have been Lyle's. I spent all day out there, saw 3 snakes, went through a gallon and a half of water and 3 Snickers. I'll post pictures soon as I get them back. Just kidding! Man do I wish! I was up around the White Mtn's lakes pumping poo out of the porta jons wishing I was looking for that bad boy. Way to go Lyle, that is one freakin awesome antler. I know a certain antler buyer that would gladly give you a $5 bill for that beauty.

PS: Those GPS coordinates are for somewhere on the Tohono Oodam rez.

Antlerboy, Sorry you had to pump the Poo this past week.

I think some of the fumes might have gotten you a little turned around.

My GPS cords, are no where near the Res.

But if thats where you go a lookin, Enjoy!!

Lark you're too funny. I was totally messing with Mike saying those coordinates were from 36C. I have no clue where your cords are. You know, you kind of get used to the fumes after a day or two but you can never get used to the visuals.

Well,

 

I just got back from the Tohono Oodam rez. Man that area has a good concentration of coues bucks. In order to hunt that area you have to be a tohono oodam tribal member I was told. I'm in the process of becoming an official tohono Oodam tribe member.

Treestandman and what will be your name once you became a member of the Tohono O'odham? Great Coues White Tail? Muy Grande Coues or how will you choose your name?

After smoking the magical Peyote weed. The medicine has inspired me to be called "Venadote".

[Guest Ernesto C]

hahahah that's a very good one

[Guest Ernesto C]

Just dont make it a habit or you will be changing your name very often.

Hey Venadote, don't forget to get your Arizona tags too! Now that you are a member of the Tribe not only do you get to hunt the Rez as a resident, you also get to hunt on Arizona State land as a resident. That's two deer with one tank of gas!

[Guest 7x7]

those coords are somewhere on the north/northeast side of the rincons. checked it out on a really cool website called terraserver.

[TREESTANDMAN]

I love that website.

[Guest 7x7]

hey treestandman, i use it for pre-scouting. can't believe how well i know an area that i've never stepped foot in when i get there for the first time. i always print out and compare the arials to the topos. the zoom in and out feature is incredible. don't mean to sound like a geek, but all outdoorspersons should use it prior to an outing.

[TREESTANDMAN]

Yep,

 

thats how my buddy and I do our pre scouting scouting.

Question for all to answer. I have been scouting an area in 24a for about 2 months. Every time I go in there I see 4-5 does. I have never seen any bucks within this canyon area. I also have not been able to find any sheds. I was there yesterday, spent the first 2-3 hours of the morning glassing. Saw 5 does, no bucks. Spent the next 4-5 hours walking in the bottoms and in the ravines looking for sheds. Nothing.

I'm starting to think the bucks are just not in this area.

 

It is my understanding that bucks tend to themselves for much of the year. only joining the does for the breeding season, and then off they go again tending to themselves. It is also my understanding that coues deer are very territorial and will pretty much live and die in the same area (they typically won't travel far).

 

I'm thinking I need to concentrate on the canyons surrounding the area with the does. Is this correct?
