man I knew I should have followed you like in the movies.... I recognized you and said he always shoots a deer....congrats on a nice buck

Wow, lucky.... I look at luck brought on by your determination to go hunt with a little more than 1 of daylight left (would have been easy to sit at home), getting into the right spot and pulling off the shot!!! Awesome!

great buck,... i think i saw you at Circle K on Sun in Miami... do you drive a white Toyota?

nice they are such a blast hunt.... when one bails another pops up... and in my mind there is no trophy jav they are are (where as with deer scores get in the way).

ANOTHER 1+ for Robert and Broken Arrow.... the first time I went there I was also wondering what type of archery shop I was going too. Now probably 10 trips later (and more to come) I really like dealing with him. I have been stocked up on things so I haven't gone to his shop in year, but always see him at the Sunrise shoot and buy arrows to replace all those I lost.

Have you got this yet? I got a Mueller 8-32x44 that is good but I need to get a 20 MOA base. I am thinking of starting over with new rings, base, the whole thing. I think this Vortex would be a good one for my Savage 10 FCP-K in 308. Not for hunting but long range shooting. No I did not get the HS I picked up the PST instead. I also picked up a Valdada IOR 6-24x56 35mm. Talk about a good scope Valdada is as clear as any of the nightforce or US optics, The PST works FLAWLESSLY too. The have an HS at the 4B Shooting Supply here in Globe. If you are interested let me know asap or else he is going to send it back. So you like the IOR? I was just looking at one and thought wow that looks like a great scope....what reticle do you have... need to top off my new rifle with a scope. I really like my LEU VAR 3 LR but want to keep it on my 300 WSM http://swfa.com/IOR-6-24x50-Tactical-35mm-Rifle-Scope-P8947.aspx where did you get yours? just wondering if I should wait and buy the NF?

1/4 inch seems like a large gap, I assume your 40 and 50 yd pins are on target? Peep aligned ? Can you move the sight on the riser? Have you ever shot the 70 and 80 pins (did something change)? Like said earlier if you think there is problem take it to the shop sorry off this was not much help

OMG those are spectacular bucks!

great buck nice and wide, congratulations on a successful hunt.

nice 130 lbs of deer killing machine out of the woods.... share some more details, how far was the chase, etc.

Great story, another Dec tag will come your way if you wait it out again... these deer are humbling to say the least. I was in a similar position as you this year, found a good buck on the second day and was torn with do I shoot him or not... I did am have not looked back (to be honest after reading your story I am glad I did). I am not sure if the Dec tags are all what the are made out to be (big rutting deer chasing does on every hill) other than there are fewer hunters in the field, cooler temperatures and more time to hunt. But with more time... usually interferes with life's responsibilities. The rut usually starts heating up the last 5 days of the hunt...and hunting in snow can be impossible. Another thing to consider in 33 there have been 6 hunts before Dec and probably 800 bucks killed and deer patterns have been disrupted. Thanks for the story!

great looking buck, you have been putting the smack down on some great animals.

awesome bucks, great story thanks for sharing

Dec 5 started the countdown for the 10 day "forecast". All is well for opening weekend, about a week out, a "chance" of rain crept in...no worries its a long hunt. Final scouting trip left me in a lot of back pain, hobbling around, visit the chiropractor and the visit helps, but not enough to set up camp, so I stay home. Sitting at home on Thursday night the rain moves in, alarm goes off, still raining... can't miss opening day, decide to head out. Miserable rainy day...call it quits early and head home. Get some rest, up before the alarm, head out. Greeted with rain in Superior, keep driving. Out drive the rain, turn up a familiar road, start glassing. Soon spot a buck pushing a doe, is he a shooter or not, what to do, 16 days left in the hunt, Dec tags don't come around often. Then the rain comes, pull out the tarp cover me and the gear, deer beds, can't see the buck, but I can see the doe, he won't leave his doe. Finally he gets up, shakes off the rain, and beds again. I get a better look... I like him. Time to shoot, range the buck, 450 yds, dial the scope squeeze the trigger, nice sound, but did I hit him, can't find him in the scope, jump back in the binos, he's hit, but not down, squeeze another round off... did I hit him, can't find him...back in the binos, there he is, got to shoot again okay relax, breath, squeeze... he's done. Pick a land mark, take off after to him, of course nothing looks the same, walking around zig zaging in the rain, find the yellow patch of grass, there he is..I am very happy. Now its raining harder, sopping wet, get him boned out, pack is dripping with water, oh my back...long slow hike to the truck. Turn on the radio, listen to the last two minutes of the Cats bowl game!! Great day. Time to start shooting the bow! Thanks for reading.

OMG! What a buck!!

I may have one for ya.... how soon do you need it, I will give it to you if I don't need it (its only a shoulder mount cape)

Thanks for sharing that was a great story congrats on a great buck

Wow that is what a I call a successful hunt and serious fun

Oh yeah!!!!!! Nice job on an awesome buck

love it... love the awkward silence of the Ice T video when he replies and the interviewer doesn't know what to say

for example (I don't know this guy from Adam).... but on AT, you can pick up a entire bow for a good price. do you know your draw length? http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1912903

Awesome, I would say pick the bow that fits you best spend most of your $$ on the bow and the arrow rest (QAD or Ripcord). Accessories are crazy expensive and you can pick up used items on Archery Talk for 1/2 or more the price in the store (as Elepe25 said) 7 pin sight. stabilizer case Release string wax, misc items, etc.. these items in a store could run you >$350 (and that is on the light side).. keep that in mind..dozen arrows $120...

Great looking buck congrats.

Great buck 105-110

awesome story and pictures congrats on a nice trophy.
