I think it stinks to high heaven regardless of the unit! But I am an archery hunter and I am openly biased.

Hang in there i only had 8pts Likewise, 8 points did the trick for me. Yukon or BC for Stone Sheep, Moose, Mountain Caribou, Mountain Goat

Congratulations on a hunt of a lifetime! Thanks for sharing your pics! Awesome goat man, you did great! Looks COLD!

Its Official! Charges posted to my account today as suspected! I'm going Bison Hunting!

Congrats to the young lady! Nice family fun!

Nice job fellas!

I usually drive but I bring the whole kit and caboodle! It can be warm or cold but this year is an El Nino so be sure you have some gear that can keep you in the hunt when its cold and wet. Looks like you are good to go minus maybe a light rain jacket just in case it gets wetter than the 90% jacket can handle. Good Luck!

That thing is a monster! Great buck! Great shot! Great Pics! That is awesome man, congratulations! Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations! That is a very nice buck! Gotta love the double droppers!

I used my Cabela's Visa. I don't see any pending charges but $675 is unaccounted for from my available balance. Some math on my account I used leads me to believe I'm going Javelina Hunting and Bison Hunting!

Congrats to the Mrs. That is a very nice buck!

What an outstanding bull elk! Sounds like you guys earned him! Way to get it done.

Rough Guide to Mule Deer and Blacktail Deer ranges according to SCI:

Do yourself a favor and skip the Vultures and go straight to Kaibabs or better. Swarovskis remain the gold standard for 15X binos!

Conifer trees/Oak/Chapparal = Rocky Mtn Mule Deer Palo Verde/Saguaro/Creosote = Desert Mule Deer There are both sub-species in 23. Think Rocky near the Rim and Desert down by Roosevelt Lake. There is very likely a zone that has both sub-species intermingling.

Cool story and great buck! How did I miss this one? I too can appreciate the way this site brings hunters together. Adam is one of those guys who gets it for sure. Well deserved. Great job working as a team to get it done guys. Seriously though, 3 guys to pack out a coues buck? You guys need to look into a Kifaru! LOL! Just giving you crap Adam!

If Miller's has a truck nearby, it's a no brainer for me. I've been a very satisfied customer of their's twice now. Once on an elk and most recently a deer. I left the meat with my fancy Caribou Gear game bags and got those back no problem all packaged up nice in butcher paper frozen with the meat. That's going above and beyond. The processing part is always great as well. You tell them how you want it when you check it in, and they even call you to confirm before they get started. Turn around time was good as well. Prices are reasonable. I've also heard good things about Casey's and heard bad about one of the others mentioned but no personal experience with either.

In my experience sometimes you just have to wait out the bad times and look forward to better times. In case Ol Turd Ferguson gets shady have your ducks in a row and don't be afraid to put the screws to him! Good Luck!

x2 above, that was possible before USO sued the Department over the up to 10% cap on tags for NR's. Yes you should be able to buy his tag if he has a license.

Way to go! Don't see many 6x's!

Cool pics! Congrats on your buck!

IA Born that is an awesome salute brother! My Dad served in the Marine Corps in Morocco and Vietnam. He was with ANGLICO in Vietnam and was involved with the POW camp at Chu Lai. Taught other Special Operation men how to jump at Yuma Proving Ground before he got out which is how I ended up in Yuma. Like many other Veterans and pretty much exactly what IA Born described, part of my father never made it home from Vietnam. Big Thanks to all those who have served!

Happy Birthday Marines! Although I didn't serve, the Marine Corps' Birthday is a special day for me because I can celebrate my Dad's Birthday and his service. We lost him to cancer this summer so this year means more to me than ever before. Here's a big Thank You to all the Men and Women who put on the uniform. Especially the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice and didn't make it home! To their loved ones, my prayer is that you understand how grateful my family is for the price paid for Freedom!

Well earned! Congrats!
