Love the velvet bucks, this one is awesome. Glad you got a lot of pics and shared. I love hunting a new place, feels like anything is possible, and for you it was. Congratulations.
-
Congratulations on your bull and the video showed how you dream it can happen with him coming in, bugling, stopping with a clear shot to the vitals, and you connecting. Pretty cool.
-
Really nice bull, congrats!
-
Congrats on a great bull. The smile says it all
-
Thanks for taking us with you on your hunt. Sounds like you gave it your all and that's all you can do. Been fun seeing your updates.
-
Way to stick with it and congrats!

Are you using a tripod for the binos? If not, you're doing it the hard way. You will never regret buying a decent tripod and a decent set of binos, like 15x60's. Get out to a good glassing spot at first light where you can actually see the ground (look for the yellow grass on the hillside). Be patient and have fun.

Good luck to both of you. Keep us posted.

Congrats on a really nice buck

Huge Congratulations! Great write up, glad it paid off for you. Archery antelope can be one of the funest , yet difficult hunting options there is. Thanks for sharing the story.

That's a pretty solid offer right there. Newbie strikes gold!
-
Dang, he's an awesome buck! Congrats and thanks for a deer photo on a deer site.

That is too cool. I bet you were like the proverbial kid in the candy store.

I still do the tent thing. Never liked pulling a trailer and most of the places I hunt, the road will beat ya up getting in there, so forget about pulling a trailer. I would prefer a trailer but that's only when i can talk my brother into bringing his. I just upgraded my tent to what they call a 12 man tent, but it's just for me. i don't get much sleep trying to share a small sleeping space. It's not any harder to set up than my old 6 man tent that the zipper just gave out on.

Wondering if he dropped out because he realizes his mental state has failed him, (which means he should bow out NOW and not wait till Trump is sworn in) or if Pelosi, Schumer, and Jeffries have convinced him that it would be a disaster for the down ticket for the Dems (making it a political strategy)??? Either way, it exposes the dishonest efforts of the Democrats leaders and most in the media for the last 3+ years. Not a slam on everyday democrats that are my friends, neighbors, and family members, but directed at the dishonest leaders and media.

Psst, jdown, it's a bull, not a buck. One of the things making your post look silly unless it's just sarcasm and it didn't work.

Maybe non-resident is a factor??
-
We had 30b Oct and Nov as 3rd and 4th choices and got squaduche, so no leftovers there.
-
They'll be harder to see??😉
-
That would make your day! Nice find
-
Wow, that's a beauty. Congrats.

Are coues deer in trouble?
bigbuckfever replied to firstcoueswas80's topic in Coues Deer Hunting in Arizona
My favorite area hasn't had many sightings of bucks for a few years now. I think some of the reasons for that are, One: all the sxs's and quads that can race everywhere they feel like going, even if there isn't a road. (this isn't really a slam on sxs's and quads as I owned a quad and loved exploring on it so I have kinda a love/hate relationship with em ) Two: The Anasazi Foundation has been running groups of wayward youth all through some of my best, very remote, honeyholes and camping right in the middle of them during the December rifle hunts. Sucks for me, but it's National Forest so they have every right to use it too. Three: advertising works. When AZGFD spends money paying influencers to come hunt AZ, people come. More hunters = more pressure on the animals and competition for locals, specially at water holes. This past season I decided to check out other areas after not seeing any decent bucks for December archery. In January I went for a few days and spotted 5 bucks just glassing from camp. Nothing big, but my brother and I tried putting the sneak on em. Got close, but no shot opportunities before they left. I got to feel like I was hunting and not just carrying my "class one brush snagging device" through the cat claw. Just my 2 cents worth. -
Spot and stalk on a Coues buck is one of the toughest things a hunter can do imho. Congrats, I'm glad it worked for you.
