pretty good show for sure!

Agreed. Just a Bunch of good ol' folks on this site!

Sweet Update. Really brings out the fact this is a "Deer" site in the verbiage. You would not beliee how many people just "see" but don't read a .com address decal...

Just came through a real cold snap here and discovered you really know it's cold when.... A liberal puts his hands in his own pockets!

Another way the libs are backdooring to get the end result they want. Gov't payments to allow them to sue to take away individual rights. Heck they are simply on the federal payroll any way you slice it. Don't look now but with the current administration, federal socialism may be out of the closet, but it has been edging in for years through loopholes, hidden tricks and sweetheart deals for years.

They won't pass it until they figure out how to exclude gun owners from Obamacare (now there is an oxymoron, obama care) These liberals just make me so mad. I'm beginning to feel the rumble in the ground, and I think the libs are about to get pushed back into the holes they came out of with garbage plans like this.

Some of us have picked up a lot of good info on this thread I'm sure. Sort of like looking into the wizard's bag of tricks. Thanks for the spirited debate.

I live in eastern Wyoming and yes the goats are plentiful. In the early part of the season they are more huntable. The bucks are maybe a 1-10 or 15 ratio and smaller satellite bucks often near the heards. I've not hunted near lander but have heard they are plentiful. As everyone says there are a lot more private lands in Wy and there are a lot of smaller BLM and state lands spotted in and around them. A lot of these are viewable in online maps. You may try the Gas Hills area outside casper. The area is smelly, but most landowners will let you hunt and there are very few hunters as the area is huge with easy access. If you need more info, PM me with specifics and I'll see what I can do.

Winchester supreme BST 130 or 150 gr. are very accurate and work well in that Tikka.

What a Beast! Congratulations on the once in a lifetime size of the guy. Great teamwork you and your brother too!

3 nice bucks for sure. Congratulations

A long haul for sweet success in the last moments. Nice Buck Congratulations on your perseverance too!

That looks like a really great idea and good setup for prep when you think your rig is ready.

Ditto on the best wishes to all in 2010. Goals are to spend more time afield and take predators, Deer, Elk and Speedgoat. May put in for Moose and Bighorn but time will tell on the last 2. May even try out some SD pheasant in the fall as a first timer.

Gotta say, I don't miss that part of AZ. I hated those nightmares when I lived in Peoria, Mesa, Phx, AJ, and they all had that problem that you could not leave a garage door open or vehicle unlocked or anything in the front yard if you wanted to keep it. I don't worry bout that here. Almost everyone knows everyone and if you poke your nose where it don't belong, you have a 80% chance someone going by will be carrying and not afraid to show you the business end of justice. Happy New Year

Oh my, the office is going to be going nuts for weeks, maybe months talking about this win until ... well probably forever... Nebraska fans are simply rabid about the huskers...

Glad all turned out well for Savannah on the hunt and a nice buck is an understatement. "A" for effort with her trials but this assault is unacceptable in the civilized world. When Skippy pushed to put in his beloved Trolly, one of the things he said was crime would not happen on it. Another promise he could not keep that was believed by the lemmings. Sounds like AZGFD and Tempe PD need to cooperate and lobby for predator tags for scumbags on the tempe trolly.

Wonder if he needs a few of us to join for a quartet or maybe even a choir!

From the windswept plains of Wyoming with -10 windchill the message is the same Merry Christmas to all the entire CWT membership.

Even being gone from AZ now, the CWT site keeps me coming back. One of the best things about AZ and it is Accessible anywhere on the WWW. Thanks Amanda and Happy B'day to CWT and your Mom.

Great post for sure. Merry Christmas America.

Crazy length on that deer. Sure looks bigger than 118, but definitely better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick! Super story and buck, Be sure you get that one up on your wall!

The first deer I shot was processed commercially but no more. Do it all and nto that I'm great at it but it's the best way to assure you get your meat and it is cared for like you are going to eat it. Got a good grinder a year ago and wish I had done that a long time back. Super cool to grind up 30 lbs in less than 10 minutes. If you pay to have that done buy a good grinder and save the money after 2-3 times you are ahead of the game!

Looks like mid 70's to me also. I recall that is about the size of most bucks in a few of the more popular hunted parts of that unit around superior anyway.. Afew bigguns are there but they are hard to find for sure. I do miss hunting that unit... Congrats on your success.

Agreed TLH, Mike Kennedy was a really great guy. As has been said he always had a smile a great attitude and was all about people. He loved his family and his work. When we talked last, about a month ago, he was as passionate about life as anyone could be. I only knew him for a couple years but and am going to miss his bigger than life presence, clarity and good attitude. He showed caring for those around him more than for himself. I'm sure his wife, and 2 daughters are missing "The Big Guy" the most and my prayers have been with them since I heard the sad and surprising news on Thursday. I trust the Lord has him now and you can bet his knees are not a problem there. Things like this can happen to anyone and they do naturally bring you face to face with your own mortality. While you might be thinking, about your own mortality right now, please take a few moments and say a prayer, for Mike, His Family and also your own soul so you can be sure of your eternal destiny as Mike was. If you've never done this, it will be the best present you could give yourself. This is the real truth about Christmas. Rest in Peace Mike, You will be missed
