high rise hunter

Rather be lucky than good! Well done, sweet buck!

Man that is awesome! Thanks for posting up

Haven’t hunted them myself but been spending a lot of time in Hawaii recently so been doing some limited research. I believe Molokai and Maui are the best options but DIY isn’t very realistic, would likely need to go guided. Lanai could be done DIY but a bit of a logistical nightmare. Very limited places to stay and would need to rent a capable vehicle. Following along for more insight.

I think late rifle is more of "sure thing" to kill a 300" bull but I much prefer an archery hunt so that's the direction I'd steer.

My hunch would be tuning as well. I can't honestly remember having a broadhead break off from an arrow in the last ~10 years. Could be the inserts though. I use Victory shoks that anchor relatively far down into the shaft as well as extend over the outside of the shaft for added impact protection.

Totally new to me as well. I like it!

Stud buck! Congrats!

Have you tried going up a little higher towards Murphy?

Realizing I never sold this. Price drop to $625.

Amazing video and congrats to your son on his first bull!

Definitely #2

Wow. Thanks incredible! I cannot imagine hiking with 100+ lbs on my back for 27 hours. Trophy WELL earned! Congrats

Looks like a hard white to me. Definitely no more than 2 years old, probably dropped last year. Nice find.

I'm hoping it's July 1 but setting my expectations for July 8th. You know, that way I can be pleasantly surprised if they come early.

No promises but I would certainly entertain a trade. Send me what you got in mind via PM. Thx

Bump

I've got a 10% off code as well if anyone wants it.

I would totally agree with this regarding antler growth. Every big bull I've found or had on camera is 95% done growing by the 4th of July.

Fantastic hunt and memories for all! Thanks for sharing.

Glad you took the tag. Even on short notice with season right around the corner this was a no-brainer. Post some pics when you tag out!

I've put on a good number of miles in there past seasons looking for sheds. It can be feast or famine. Very gnarly country, I remember one day puking on my hike out I was so exhausted.

I have the boundary drawn out on my OnX. Happy to share it

Totally thinking out load here and probably a lot of holes in this idea but it would be cool to see tag allocations broken up into a split for primitive and the usual. For example instead of 100 archery tags for a unit, split so 70 go to compound and 30 to trad. Maybe add tags and make it 80/30 or 70/40. Same deal with scoped vs non-scoped muzzles.

Definitely over 40. Great catch!

I recently installed Google nest battery cams at my place. Super easy to install, connect to home wifi and viewable through the Google Home app. The videos are clear and crisp with solid nighttime range and the subscription is only ~$60 a year. Been very happy so far, the downside to the battery cams vs wired in is having to recharge them. My driveway cams which catch a lot of street action need to be recharged about every 4-5 weeks and other cams last only as long as ~2.5-3 months. That's too much of a pain in the *ss so I have solar panels on order that should eliminate this issue but do add to the cost a bit. There's also a Google doorbell with cam that could be a "two birds with one stone" option. Very easy to mount and wire in as well. Camera is great on that one as well. Costco has really good deals on 3 packs of the cameras.
