Outstanding!!!!! Great buck! Nothing at all beats hunting with your kids!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Wish you would have stopped by. We heard the the shots from over there! Congrats! Next time stop by for a cold one! The pressure was a little higher just to the west of us in that bowl. We stayed further east and didn't see as many people. We could see your headlamps moving up the mountain over there every morning. Ha!! "Shots" as in, plural.... Yep, that was us! We both shot twice on Friday morning and missed clean. Long, ill planned shots.... Then on Sunday morning my buddy took two shots to bring his deer down (that was about 6:45 on Sunday...). Maybe see you on a future hunt down there.... Next time I won't be so shy and will definitely stop! S.

Hey Mocha1545! I was camped right near you guys! Saw the coueswhitetail sticker and meant to stop in to say hello, but never ended-up making it by (I was in a white 4 door Tacoma & my buddy had a white Jeep.... We were camped in the Alaknak tent a few hundred yards down the two-track by your camp...). Glad you guys had a good time!! We parked in the lot up by the ranch and hiked back in approx. 3 miles each day. Saw multiple bucks each day, and my buddy finally connected on a nice one on Sunday morning. Did you guys hunt those hills/mountains where you took the picture of the petroglyphs? I've hunted in that area in years past with some good success, though it can sometimes get a little pressure..... Awesome that your buddy killed his first buck!! Anyway, it's awesome that you all had a good time! I'll make it a point to stop in and say hello next time I drive past a camp with a cw.com sticker in the window! S.

Outstanding, Josh!!! Also of course, VERY cool that your little man was there to share the experience!! S.

Awesome for JT!!!!! Love seeing all these kids! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Way to go!!!! Looks like a great time had by all! Thanks for sharing the story and great pics with the site! S.

YES!!!!! ANY deer (or any other animal) is the 'Best One', when it is the result of precious time spent with your children! Nothing beats hunting with your kids!! Very awesome for your daughter! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Another GREAT Jr. Hunt story!!!! Good for Grace! Outstanding!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Great first post!!! Awesome for you and your boy (and your friend)!! Thanks for sharing the pics and story with the site! S.

YES!!!! Very cool!!! That is what it is all about!! NOTHING beats hunting with your kids!!! Thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

Came across this little 3 1/2 foot fatty while quail hunting on opening weekend. Did his job and buzzed loudly prior to me seeing him...... Scared the crap out of me!! S.

VERY awesome!!!! Nothing like hunting with your kids! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Way to go, Nick!!! THAT is what it is all about, my friend!!! The 30-30 with iron sights makes it that much more awesome, IMO (something a little nostalgic about that... )!! Awesome for your boy!!! I agree that kudos go to the AZ G&F for offering this hunt for the young ones. All three of my children killed their first deer on this hunt, and it was an amazing experience for them! I was up there again this past weekend with a friend and his two kids for their first deer kills. Can't get enough of the Jr. Hunts!!! Thanks for sharing with the site!! S.

+ 1 to some of the other comments. Like many others here, I work in the 'corporate' world. This is standard practice.... Nothing new or out of the ordinary. Exempt vs. Non-exempt employees are treated different legally. Exempt employees (salaried) do not get compensated for the hours they work. They get compensated for the work they do. Six months of 7x per week sounds a bit extreme, and I would be surprised if that is actually the case (they would lose too many people to attrition, IMO....). I basically work 7 days per week, 365 per year because I have a large organization I am responsible for. There are always phone calls, working nights, etc. I'm lucky though, in that there is flexibility afforded to those who burn the midnight oil. If I or someone who works for me works off hours or extremely long hours for a period of itme, the option is there to flex time around and get a little time off to keep from going crazy and/or getting burned-out.

Holy WOW!!!! The kids really knocked em' dead (pun intended...)!!! SOOOOO awesome!! Absolutely NOTHING in this world beats hunting with kids! Great job on supporting youth hunting, and thanks for sharing with the site! S.

I've got a Montbell Gore Tex shell that I bought almost 20 years ago for a trip to Alaska. Still keeps me nice and dry! S.

"It ain't over until it's over"

I'm thinking that organization could be VERY busy! With all of the crap that flies around the internet these days, who has time to worry about discrediting anyone?

AWESOME!!! Congrats on a great bull and a great hunt! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Holy WOW!! What a great bull! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.
