Dang, that'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

So cool that your son got to spot him first and then jump out and connect on the shot. Congrats to him.

When all else fails, find a place to sit with the wind in your face and let the crowds push em to you.

Looks like a decent mass elk rack laying in the grass behind the one dudes shoulder.

Wow, now that's close!

Congratulations to both of you.

Congrats on 4 for 4. Sounds like my kind of trip.

Welcome to AZ. Some advice for a newbie to Southwestern hunting: good binos (the longer you glass you'll realize how much easier it is on the eyes), extra water, a pair of small needle nosed pliers-everything you touch or brush by will stick, sting , or bite you. A comment you'll see on a lot of posts here is "pics or it didn't happen". Just try not to get any powerlines in the background. (Read some other posts on CWT and you'll understand that one). Just get out and explore, there is a ton of public land here.

Nice!!!

Frickin dirtbags.

Nice bull, congratulations and thanks for the story.

The remains of an overbuilt gallows. JK

Congratulations on sticking with it and getting it done. Thanks for such a detailed story, felt like I was there too.

Awesome video and shot. Well done.

Good luck.

Cool bull. Love the mass. Good job Hunter.

I went to 30b to scout this weekend. In one canyon, I spotted three bucks and 5 does like I knew what I was doing. Went to what looked like a better hillside to glass and spent hours seeing nothing, then, out of nowhere, there was a buck. I had covered that spot soooo many times and didn't see him until I was just about ready to give up on the area. That's part of the joy/frustration of glassing for Coues. I love it.

Best wishes to ya.

Big congratulations and thanks for sharing. There are a lot of us who love the stories.

Mmmmmh, intestine flavored ice cream, my favorite.

Pm'ed my application for your new best friend, just in case you're needing company on your next outing. Nice bucks, hope you can make it work for either your daughters or yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Good job sticking with it. Nice bull.

Good job. Nice rack.

Don't know if I could have passed on any of those bulls you have on film that were that close. My bow would have pulled and released without my being able to stop it. Congrats to your buddy, sounds like you two had a great time.

I've heard that white gas lanterns work better for trailing blood in the dark. The blood kinda glows with it. Worth a try if nothing else is working Best of luck.
