Both of them are nice bucks, way to go.

I have hunted an area in unit 23 on and off for years and have seen fighter jets come roaring just above the tree tops and following some of the canyons that are in the area. There are usually two, or sometimes three of them doing practice runs, following each other. Always cool to see and hear as it sounds like a freight train is just about to hit you. This past week I was walking on one of the open grass covered mesas next to a long canyon. I looked up and saw , then heard, a fighter jet coming my direction, low and fast. I guess he was about 200 to 300 yards above the tree tops. (It's hard to judge the actual distance of something moving that fast, but he was low) I started waving my arrow above my head at him to say "Hi". He must have noticed me because, in one swift movement he turned sideways for a split second, then as he was over top of me , he went inverted for a split second and then he rolled upright again and then finished off with a little waggle of the wings , as if to say "how 'bout that". Then he was gone from sight. I was left standing there in amazement at what just happened. An F-22 fighter jet just flew over top of me, INVERTED, and shook his wings at me. Truly one of the most awesome experiences I have ever had while deer hunting. And , no I didn't get a deer on this trip, but I didn't really mind.

That's one way to tenderize the meat, holy chit!

Real nice. Congratulations

Love his attitude and success. Congrats on some great deer.

Good luck!

Wow!! I keep dreaming about one like that. Great job on the shot too, taking out the shoulder=down deer.

Supreme Painting Inc. #ROC166392. Im in Mesa and could come look at it when I get back from my hunt. 602-319-4096. Doug.

Really nice buck there! Congratulations on that stud and my sympathy for your loosing your dad.

Hopefully this worked to flip the pic.

I'll go with 108. Hard to tell spread from photos. Great buck, regardless of what he officially scores. I hope to find something like that next week. Thanks for sharing and keeping me excited.

41 birthdays today. Yeah, right. Looks like time for admin to weed out some bogus accounts. Happy B-day to all non weeds.

Happy Birthday to a real CWT member.

This boulder looks like a giant metate. It is about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall. It even has the grinding rock in place.

Is this a "proper" name ? I am unaware of any local acknowledgement or naming of the rock, but I sure don't claim to know it all. I know that is what they call rocks that metates are made from.

Not a bunny ranch that I know of

Heck yeah! ALL nice deer. Keep it up.

Most posts that start out with "I know a guy..." are scammers. But coming from Lance, no worries.

Loved following your hunt. Great job writing it up for us and congratulations on connecting on the shot! There's nothing like hunting Coues.

I'd love to see a pic of all five!

^^^What they have said. Keep em coming. My hunts not till Nov 5th and I am going crazy working. Best of luck to you tagging out.

Awesome buck, congrats. Love the blading!

He didn't have time to formulate a plan and think things thru. He just "reacted". Love that. OOOh rah.

"20-30 years ago 10 was so amazing to hunt." So true. I remember sitting on the gas line hill glassing to the flats by Button tank and having elk, deer, and antelope in the same field of view. Good times.

That's a lot of good meat! Congrats and enjoy it.
