Sky Island Diversity

[Ozzy]

Thanks to all those that watched and commented on the last video I posted on here. I thought you all might enjoy another one of my Arizona trail camera compilations. This spot wasn’t too far from that last video I posted. Of all my videos, I think this one might best show just how many different critters the sky islands of Arizona have. Thanks for checking it out.

refreshing not to see any lions.....and.....that hummingbird sure scared the crap out of that doe....

Pretty cool video

Very nice. Even caught a few Mearns. It looked as if one of the coatis had a bad case of mange.

I have a hard time telling one from the other; that appears to be a Gould's turkey, eh?

It is indeed a Gould’s. I probably won’t draw for decades so the next best thing is getting them on camera lol

I’ll post some more, but I don’t want to fill the entire Arizona thread with just my stuff. I have a bunch on my YouTube channel. Thanks for watching ?

I've hunted only Merriam's in AZ and never tried to get a Gould's tag here. I had killed one in Sonora, Mex. many years ago to finish my slam of NA birds.

My daughter had 2 Gould's tags in 4 years, between the ages of 12-16, I've had 1 tag but had 15 points when I drew it. My wife point guarded her tag this spring and I believe she had around 19-20 points and my son has 22 points going into this years spring draw.

Man, those are a bunch of accrued points for a goofy bird. Let's see, at the going rate for store-bought birds, you could have had a Thanksgiving dinner feast for the next 50+ years with the total app fees.

I drew mine as a NR with 12 points. Had an amazing hunt. Buying points again and hope to draw it one more time.

, Yep if I was worried how much wild game cost per a pound I would have quit hunting many years ago. Hunting Gould's turkey in AZ IMO is the funniest turkey hunting out there.
