That buck is giant! Good job and I’m happy you made it out alive! Well done. Happy hunting

Negative. I plan on making my way up there before the hunt ends.

Lost my target buck to a dang ol lion. Haven’t been able to turn up my plan b buck. I have heard of a buck chasing a doe. Hope the Rut kicks in for the next rifle hunt!

Given the magnitude of that tag I can only imagine the gut wrenching feeling you had as the events unfolded of the mishap.I know a handful of very respectable hunters that have self reported from mistakes in the field. I am happy this mishap didn’t poison the experience and I hope you can look back it this hunt and only have fond memories of time spent in the field. Hats off to you and congrats on a successful hunt.

I’m being literal. Try finding a kaibab cape. I would rather have that than the meat. Only because I like coues best for table fair.

you Should set up a go fund me to raise money to buy the buck. I’m not sure how much they go for. I would pitch in for the cause. Too bad you couldn’t keep the cape too.

Same for coues! I almost sat water in November because they weren’t wandering too far from water. Now they are dispersed a bit. Hope the rain continues for them

Nice Rig! GLWS

DesertSheep your humor kills me. You are welcome in our camp anytime! Congrats on a lifetime buck. I have had the pleasure of watching my girlfriend (at the time who is now my wife) knock down a big buck and it is one of my most memorable outings! Congratulations! Are you getting it mounted?

Can I get a shout out? I think it’s a cool buck.

Going to save 20 bucks in ice! Gonna be chilly

You could surrender the tag. May have better luck next year.

Y’all dropped dogs during the elk hunt? I’m invested now.

I love this topic! You Definitely pose some really good points on why not to use a stove with the sewn floor. I’m right there with you. I love the simplicity of the kodiak it’s storage space and the ability to be put up solo in a matter of minutes. The Davis was tents are super nice as are their cots. If I can’t find a work around with a kodiak I may go with the Davis wall tent to use the stove.

I sleep in a down mummy bag with a quilt over it inside a tent.The only heat I introduce is the lantern to see in the am. I would like to build a stove and pipe jack for the kodiak. I think that would be the best bet for mid winter hunts.

This hits home for me. I have very few memories with my father and a lot are on that road or on Apache lake.

What if you are in a unit without powerlines. are you allowed to glass from power lines in a different unit shoot a deer and bring under the power lines for the trophy pictures IF the camera lens tests negative for fluorite?

Heck of a coues! Congrats to all involved

Good deer. Looks like the spawn of peaches

they nabbed a serial burglar yesterday on the news. Hope for the best to ya

Atta boy Tony!!! Looking good

Coyote.

That’s a solid buck! My favorite all time personal trophy is a big 2x coues. Congratulations.

Being on honest... I would fall over dead if I walked up to a buck like that...

He scores bigger than most!
