I used to go up to that area (Q Ranch) alot when I was younger. I would usually come up from the South. I stumbled upon the graves one trip and I believe a small monument telling about the Pleasant Valley wars. I will see about getting the book.

You were ready when the moment arrived. Well since you went and found your rifle..... lol!!! Great story and congrats on a great hunt with your son!

Congrats! Nice reward for hunting hard and sticking with it!!!

Not sure but guessing about 150$. Bring a rangefinder or get permission in the future. What area were you in?

Wow! What a hunt! You had all the highs and lows that come with hunting. Great job and great write up.

More cowbell !!!! That's cool finding stuff like that out hunting.

Very nice!!! Congrats!! What kind of stuff did you find?

You look like you live in my hood. Just on a different street. I think your street backs the canal. Good luck with sale! Nice looking rig!

About the 1st 10 years I was there we did Grand Canyon hikes every year. Our owner at the time was an avid hiker. He hiked in white converse Chuck Taylors. He is now deceased and his Dad's name is on a couple hospitals in the Valley. He inspired me to do the Rim to Rim to Rim hike that I did in 1990.

Just gotta be able to run faster than your hunting partner! Good luck on your hunt!

Brings back memories. We did a company hike there years ago. I remember having to lift the dog up to the next ledge a few times in that last stretch. I remember all the ladybugs at the top.

Nice work! Congrats!!!!

Just curious.... Your buck you tagged looks kind of hard horned. Most, if not all bucks in your pictures looked to be in velvet. Did you see any hard horned bucks?

Congrats on a great hunt! I see why you got all those flats. You neeed a tire sponsor or a pit crew. lol!

Awesome buck! Congrats to Hunter and everyone involved.

Is she related to Joe Biden???

Congrats! That's a beautiful buck!

Bummer, hope you get it back. I lost a knife in 23 on the hillside under that big juniper. Went back 3 days later and still couldn't find it. This was 33 years ago. Probably rusted out by now.

Congrats! You da man!

Your best bet is to drive around. They will fly if near a road. I've seen doves in 7 but it's hard to pinpoint a spot they like. Any tank with water should have some nearby but it sounds like those are scarce right now. Sunflower patches attract them but since it's hardly rained those might be hard to find. Good luck!

Awesome!!! Congrats!!!!
