Forgive my ignorance here but I see the term “crossguns”being used a lot in this thread. Is this a new term for crossbows or is this something different? FYI, this debate has been going on for over 20 years that I know of and I don’t really see much need for a change. Is there some big increase in the number of people hunting with them now in Az, or are we just looking for stuff to argue over? I have hunted ALOT of archery seasons and have witnessed very few people using crossbows in the field.

Great looking buck! Congratulations!!

Great bull and story! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations! Looks like you guys had a great time!

Congratulations young man! Well done.

Nicely done!

IMO they are both decent bucks, not “trophy” bucks. The question of shooters or not is always up to the tag holder. If he looks good to you, and you would be happy to have him, then shoot without hesitation and take good pictures to look back on years later!

Nice!! Thank you for posting.

Last weekend on the youth hunt every buck we saw was still in full velvet. We glassed probably 15 or so bucks. I would think they would start rubbing this week.

My experience at this time of year is you will have a very good chance of seeing it again

Great glass. Glws

I am by no means a photographer, but to me that is an AMAZING photo! Thanks for posting.

So do you feel like there are too many deer where you hunt or just not enough bucks? These are two completely different topics.

This is kind of a strange one to me. I’ve seen him on multiple videos with guys and it seemed like they were all very actively promoting coming to Az to hunt. I can’t understand what else he thought was going to happen?! I do completely agree with him in that it sucks to not be able to get drawn to hunt here every year now though…

Few experiences in the woods are better than an archery elk hunt IMO. Sounds like you had a great one. Congratulations!

Stanley, it was a mule deer. Probably the closest I’ve ever come to hitting something without actually hitting it. He is a great looking buck though.

I almost hit a REAL GOOD 4x3 last Monday morning by the Ray mine. Dam thing ran right in front of me. Think his tail might be a little shorter now…

Congratulations!! Looking forward to the story!

Congratulations to you guys! U8 must be going pretty well. I saw pics of a couple other bulls taken there as well.

Sounds like a great time. Congratulations!!!

Good job! Congrats!!

Awesome! Congratulations.

Congratulations!!

A lot of it going around. I know several people that had it. Seems to linger on for a while. My son had it and went to Dr, they gave him Amoxicillin and it cleared up very quickly after that.

I feel like it’s worth it to get it street legal and be able to go wherever you want to…
