Great bucks! You got to hunt for nine days and you both took great bucks at the end, gotta be happy with that.

Here's my buck from the early rifle hunt. As the handle implies, I live in Washington but have hunted coues with family in Arizona for many years. This year I decided to mix it up a bit and applied for the early rifle Kaibab tag. I drove down (18 hours) Wednesday before the opener, scouted...

Not sure why it shows just the one post. I've been a member for 10+ years, but I haven't posted in awhile so maybe it deleted my prior posts? Anyway, I wound up getting my buck that evening. Just south from where you were. He wasn't the big wide one I saw run towards you guys...that's why...

Great work! I'm pretty sure my two buddies and I watched you pack out your buck, we were talking with your BIL when you walked up the hill with your pack, and we all gave your BIL grief for taking the light load. :) Did your BIL fill his tag?

Unfortunately in AZ, as a NR just getting started, you're banking on them changing the rules if you want to draw 13A. Until there's a rule change, you literally have zero chance of drawing - no amount of luck can help that.

I got a CC hit. Should have been in the max pool for the late 33 coues tag.

I thought I'd seen that pic before.... But wait, I thought all the big bucks lived in Utah or the strip?

Anyone hunt NM Unit 17? We're headed down there the second week of November. We scouted the north end of the San Mateos over the summer and the deer were all up high. Any thoughts on other areas/ elevations to consider for a November hunt? Is the south end of the San Mateos worth looking at...

Angry Spike Productions puts out a roosevelt video that I watched last week. For less than $15, might be a good place to start. I'll be hunting roosies for the first time this year as well, so the video was good to get a feeling for what it's like. They bugled to locate bulls, then...

Not sure why they would have said that the only announcement was the press release since I clearly remember getting my multi season permit info from the FAQ page mentioned above. I applied in February, so it was at least on there at that time. Also, I don't know if you fish, but those...

Agreed. I knew about it well in advance, so did everyone else I know. On the plus side, you do get a gold star for winning the longest post award. ;-)

All - we recently bought some property in the Chiwawa unit, so I'm planning to start focusing my deer hunting in the general area. I haven't hunted anywhere in the neighborhood since I was about 14 - we hunted Mud Creek a few years in the late 80's, and that's about the extent of my hunting...
