great stuff!!

my guess is you might start seeing rutting action right about now but likely wont pickup till that period after Christmas. I've seen bucks rutting down on the border in 36b as late as mid Feb. Good luck it should be awesome.

Got it done last Fri afternoon on this bull. Made for a late night of packing. Small 5x5. Not the biggest on the mountain, but I'm pleased. Barnes 250 grain T-EZ and 100 grains of Triple 7.

well done.

Quick question I was thinking about and didn't really know the answer: Will deer in the Central part of the state frequent a frozen water source during the winter or do they search out standing water?

well done!

well done

Camp near the border patrol or stay in Tucson as another option

they love them. Cover, shade, etc. All times of the day.

well done. not sure about the schnapps though haha

well done

love the lopes!

i have Zeiss 15x56 on a tripod and carry Leupold Mojaves 10x50's around my neck. I really like the combo.

Put this together recently. Looking forward to trying it out this fall. Slik Pro 634 SF and Benro S2 head.

I had the option on the leg locks. I like the clips as thats what i' used to, but i could see how the twist version might have some advantages.

About 3.4 lbs total. Yes, thats my man bag. Its glove leather so it makes it okay.

Thank you for the replies guys. Great info. These is the kindof details i get bogged down with in my mind, when i should be out scouting instead haha.

I have a coues and bull elk muzzy tag this fall. Specifically for elk, wondering your opinions if my 250 grain Barnes T-EZ is adequate or should I up that to the 290 grain? I'm sighted in w/ the 250 grain now and its shooting nice.

Congrats, nice shot too.

Cool buck, sorry about how it happened but credit to you for staying on it.

Wow!

either pit bbq while in camp or Italian sausage in bulk.

great stories, great bucks!
