Hadn’t seen much rut activity this Jan until a week ago. After a few days of rain I found 14 bucks all w does. Too many deer on the Mnt to even get in there and hunt one of them. Came back a week later and saw a buck stand up at 8Am w 3 does. Range was 1500 yards. Got the spotter out to check the details. 3x3=go time. Made a plan to get half way and try to relocate. From that spot I couldn’t see into the cut he was working down. I glassed one of his does and decided to close the distance to see if I would be able to see into that cut and maybe make a play. Got to the skyline of that cut with perfect wind and some cover I was able to see the buck behind an ocotillo. Range was 82 yards. I knocked an arrow and dialed the slider to 82. If he steps out I will get a chance. 1 well placed arrow and he ran for 2 seconds. Made a trip to the truck to drop all my gear and hiked back to process him and pack out. I could not be happier. I’ve been trying to do a solo spot and stalk Coues for 10 years now.

Every once in a while Tombstone has Aero lowers for really cheap, stocked up on a bunch a while back. As an added bonus you get a tour of one of the worst neighborhoods in Phoenix!

If you are in the west valley I have new palmetto stripped lowers available. $40

I’ll take any Kaibab hunt anytime…however, I quit putting in for it as it takes too flipping long to draw even an early tag anymore. I can’t leave bonus points in my will, so I’m using them as fast as I can get them , lol

It's also very unlikely that he got caught cheating the rules the very first time he did it. Quite likely there was a ton of other shady stuff happening. Same with the Wards that show up here every so often to defend their corrupt operation.

Yes it was catch and release. Rob and I caught a few in the 7lb almost 8lb range. I think my PB was 7lb11oz???? Some of the guys that are better fisherman than i am caught a few double digits with I think the big one of the trip was almost 13lbs???
