It won’t be long now
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008August is upon us. The first opportunity to go after the monster mulies is nigh. Did you get a tag? Nowadays it can be harder, much harder to get a tag than to get a trophy buck (once you have the tag, of course).
If you are like me, you have applied for all the tags [...]
Arizona lions
Thursday, July 24th, 2008FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — While mountain lion hunting in Colorado can be quite good, if the idea of hiking for miles through knee-deep snow doesn’t appeal to you, consider a trek across the border and south, into Arizona, for a horseback ride into cougar country.
The Arizona Game & Fish Department estimates the state’s mountain lion population [...]

Anderson Mesa Deer Research
Friday, April 25th, 2008Today, I visited my local taxidermist, TR Taxidermy in Flagstaff, to pick up my latest mule deer mount. TR was pouring cement for lunch (not to eat, you silly), so I had to wait for over an hour. An elderly gentleman pulled up next to me and we started to talk.
He was retired, but had [...]
Arizona Hunter kills Good Buck in Unit 5
Sunday, April 13th, 2008The North Kaibab is over-rated, while other units are sometimes under-rated.
Here is Phillip’s unit 5 buck- not exactly a unit where you would expect to find a nice Arizona buck:
Congratulations Phillip
Mr Jim Heffelfinger
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Mr. Heffelfinger, Director of Arizona Game and Fish, is quoted below. The quote is not the first time I have witnessed an agency representative implying that money is not the main issue. I think it is worth noting that Arizona, like many other states, has done very little to increase the number of mule deer, [...]
Arizona estimates number of Lions
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
The Arizona Game and Fish is now estimating that there are 2500 mountain lions in the state. I think that number is way low, personally. Conservatively, the 2500 mountain lions would kill 75,000 deer per year, most of them being mule deer. Hunters are killing less than 8,000 mule deer per year. Imagine what could [...]
