Way cool! Congrats on your goat!

Nice buck! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats to Pops! Sweet red bandana by the way. Thought it was Mike Daily for a second.

Hope you haven't washed your stuff yet! Please don't make the mistake I did and let your stuff get washed with regular detergent! Synthetics should get washed in something made for these higher tech fabrics like the Sportwash from Atsko you can get at Walmart or similar. You do NOT want to use Tide and the like. It will not only strip off the DWR that is on the surface of many of these fabrics, the fabric softeners and UV brighteners will clog up the DWR making it not function as designed. My wife got a hold of my Attack pants and washed them in regular detergent with my other stuff and ruined my pants. The DWR has never been the same since. Almost like it was never there. I need to try a wash in DWR with my pants to get it back.

Remarkable buck Devin! Congratulations big time! Can we get a bit more of a story on him?

Looks like you guys had an outstanding hunt! Congratulations!

Wow, what a season! Congrats to the young man and Dad!

Bucket list critter right there! Nice job salvaging some meat on a tough hunt! PM me if you don't mind sharing any leads on hog hunts.

Too cool! Great job to the boys and dad!

That's a dandy! Doubt it's from the Strip, pretty sure hunts up there are in November.

Sounds like a fun hunt! Can't ask for much more than that. Congratulations to all, especially your cousin with his nice buck!

Right on Mike! Congratulations!

Great Job putting some meat in the freezer. I agree that pronghorn is very tasty!

I have owned 3 different Kifaru packs. Currently own two, a Late Season which is the same as the Pointman mentioned above except a hunting version instead of Military. Use it for prettymuch everything but is really good as a daypack that can carry meat to the truck or camp. I used mine to carry the bone in quarters plus backstraps and tenderloins from a Kaibab doe just recently. Solid! I also have a Duplex frame that I use with a Cargo Panel for heavy and awkward loads. Buy once, cry once! Get a Kifaru.

What a cool story! Great job! I hope you guys have many more successful hunts together. Sounds like she is hooked!

Really cool buck! Good job making something happen in the situation you came upon!

Really Awesome! Thanks for the story!

My stepson was fortunate to draw a tag for the Kaibab Youth antlerless deer hunt. This would be his first big game hunt. We arrived late on Friday and got our stuff set up and hunted a bit. Didn't see anything that night so we were eagerly anticipating the next day. We had a nice walk in the morning and ended up with a chance or two but no shots. We went and called my wife and on the way back to camp some hunters asked if we were still hunting as we were passing next to them on the road. They said there were some deer down below us so we parked to check it out. Thanks again! Anyways Andrew got out to see where they were and I was right behind him. He took a quick shot and missed, followed by another. The deer were still in some cover so not leaving too fast yet. I saw a doe looking at us and not moving so I pointed her out to Andrew. He took a knee and waited until she stepped in the open exposing her vitals and he took another shot. It looked and sounded good to me and him so we waited a couple minutes then went to see what we could. After a short look in the thick blown down trees we found her and went to work. Andrew made a clean heart shot with my ol 30-30 with iron sights. He was really happy and I was super proud! I really appreciate all the effort and heat the Department takes to put on this hunt. Great opportunity for the kids to get a deer. We camped with AZBugler and his boys and couldn't have asked for better company. We all had a wonderful time. We give Thanks to the Almighty for His providence and grace. We are sure glad to live in Arizona where we can enjoy such a wonderful place as the Kaibab!

Outstanding photos! Great Advice on the bikepacking by the way!

Glad to hear the OP got his truck back! ctafoya that is like something out of a movie right there, Gnarly!

Really cool! Thanks for sharing those lion pics. The one with the kitten is awesome! Renee did great on her hunt. Congratulate her for us! Looks like you guys had an action packed hunt. Can't ask for much more than that!

Really cool story and pics Dan! Thanks for sharing with us. I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your cousin Ronald! Peace be with you.

"a legislation change at the federal level that basically gave the states the right to manage their wildlife how they see fit" Bingo! We have a winner!

I did indeed! Thanks!
