CRB Report post Posted November 30, 2007 found plenty but they are not always bucks sometimes they are fawns or does. What a shame maybe they could have been good bucks someday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ajohunter Report post Posted December 4, 2007 Found a nice coues buck lion killed down here in 40A few years back on a sheep hunt. Hung the head in a tree til all the hide rotted off then went back for it. You might consider doing the same since you could possibly be breaking the law with having possesion of the head the way it is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

missedagain Report post Posted December 5, 2007 I have found two this year, one I thought was a shed at first because the head was burried in leaves and only a antler was sticking out. I left that one because it was a small two point and it was still bloody. But I found a nice three point that I brought home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Doug, looks like a OLD buck.. looks to be a heavy hornd forker... nice find! what about the one where you heard the racket down below you and never saw that deer come out again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elpepe25 Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Ive had mixed results from the game and fish about keeping pickups. we had a bull elk skull confiscated from us because we couldnt "prove" that the elk wasnt taken illegally. The officers argument was that we may have disturbed a crime scene of an illegally taken elk. so i err on the side of caution when it comes to pickups of anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZP&Y Report post Posted December 5, 2007 Doug, looks like a OLD buck.. looks to be a heavy hornd forker... nice find! what about the one where you heard the racket down below you and never saw that deer come out again? Hey Casey- I agree I think he was an old heavy horned buck. I'll be down there next week to check out the one down below that made all of the racket and see what is left down there. My buddy has the 34a Dec hunt so we're going to be there to hunt and I'm going to see what may be left from that lion/deer exchange...In a way I hope the deer scrambled loose... but it's always nice to find a coues rack. I may walk 100 more miles and not find a coues rack like the one I found in Feb of this year. But that's what makes it a great experience and spending time in the desert... Good luck in 36b and with a little more than a week , you must be off the hook excited! AzP&Y Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted December 6, 2007 I think this was a lion kill. I found it in the bottom of a dry creek in 23 up in the forest area. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
