That's an awesome buck with a bow or any weapon for that matter. Congratulations Brian and thanks for sharing it with us. I was sitting along side Ilene & Roger every step of the way thru cwt. Could hardly wait for the next pm to come thru. Good luck on your quest to take a big horn with your bow Brian. I'll be pulling for ya. TJ

Congratulations on an awesome buck. To bad nothing excited happened. Just kidding you know. Thanks for the story and for sharing your awesome buck. TJ

I can't recall ever seeing one in my lifetime. TJ

Congratulations on a tough hunt for sure. Very nice buck and to take it with a bow even better. How about the rest of the story? TJ

Not exactly neighbors since I live in Mesa but still close enough if you ever need a helping hand. Congratulations on getting married and buying your first house. Now get started on raising them hunters. TJ

Awesome and congratulations on a very nice buck. Thanks for sharing here on cwt. TJ

Oh yea, that's awesome! TJ

Congratulations on a hard hunt for sure. Glad to see you were successful. Very nice trophy and thanks for sharing. TJ

Thanks for sharing your awesome buck. TJ

I agree with Pine Donkey, this has got to be my favorite so far as well. Awesome video. TJ

Robert, you are a first class act and they don't come any better than you and your family. Quite generous of you and I'm proud to call you a friend. Thanks for thinking of the next generation and your support here on cwt. TJ

Way to go Parker on getting the job done. I'm so excited for you and to know you have become a very good hunter at such a young age. My hats off to your Dad for his dedication and hard work in developing you into one of our next generation of hunters. There is no doubt your dad was more nervous than you. AWESOME! TJ

Awesome! Do we have the best members or what? TJ

Just wanted to wish each of you archery hunters the best of luck. As I type this I can visualize all the trucks leaving town and a few of you already walking to your blinds or tree stands. I can't wait to hear and see the posted stories from this weekend. Unfortunately, I will not be able to join the ranks of you this morning due to some family health issues. This is the first I can remember not sitting in a camp somewhere drinking coffee on opening morning of archery season but I'm with each and everyone of you and will be anxiously awaiting your stories and pictures here on cwt. I don't know if Amanda is aware of just how much some of us really rely on this site to get us thru the day. Many thanks Amanda! May your arrows shoot straight and your nerves be calm. TJ

Thanks Bill, it belonged to my grandpa. The pictured one is a 12 and I have another in a 16ga. Hope you like shooting your new 410 this year. TJ

Can't wait for opening morning myself. Here's a picture of my Dad, Lexie, and myself last year. Had to boot up Lexie after she rubbed her paws raw from retrieving birds. I have been walking her for the past 4 weeks on gravel road so hopefully I will have her paws in better shape. TJ

There's a good chance that bear is alive and will probably be back for water. The cams will be your best bet and check them as often as you can. Sorry for your bad hit but I got a gut feeling this story is going to continue. Good luck! TJ

Talk about some excitement, wow. And I take it hunting alone doesn't bother you any? I'm sure your wife doesn't care for it Steve or has she taken out extra life insurance and encourages you to go? The stories just keep getting better all the time. Stay safe and keep the stories coming. TJ

I believe there is an archery hunter safety course. I actually was one of the first to attend the first archery instructor class back years ago. I assume they are still instructing the classes. There is no test for gun hunters to pass a test unless you are a youth hunter. Maybe I've been out of instructing classes to long. TJ

Congratulations on a beauty of a buck. When you get time I'd like to hear the story. TJ

Congratulations Mark on your first and hopefully many more to come. It's always nice to have good friends like John that will drop whatever they're doing to go help out a buddy. Good team work guys and a bonus with the set of drops. Thanks for sharing the picture. TJ

Congratulations Az Ground Pounders aand a big Congrats to Jason with a beauty. TJ

I would not have even thought it possible. Might even say I would have had to see it to believe it but I know Steven wouldn't make up something that crazy. Good thinking and I bet someone above might have had a hand in it as well. Other than that it sounded like a good day to me with all the sightings of deer and especially the pigs. Good luck today Steve and please share it with us later. TJ

Congratulations to Garrett on a very nice bear. Sticking with it the next day after the rain wiped out the tail goes to show he is a very serious and dedicated hunter. You must be very proud of him I'm sure. Thanks for sharing that great picture. TJ

Awesome ! Congratulations on a nice buck. TJ
