Should have spent the extra money and got the buck binos..... I had to take a pair back cause all they could find were does.... Just kidding

24B for me... about the leave the house for one last scouting trip...still not sure where to be next fri

Its common to find them, freaky but common.

the US should decriminalize marijuana and tax the heck out of it..

Your welcome, I feel more comfortable not hearing vehicles so the further the better... make sure you know the area..on a couple of occasion I have hiked in the dark for a long way, sit down and say wow this is a great spot... then soon after sunrise I hear the putter of a quad...roads from the backside of the mountain!! darn!!

hope you don't mind but what unit? curios to know where rut activity is being seen...i have a 24B tag that starts in 9 days

Glassing is the key... I have found in the early morning to glass the entire area, then as the morning draws on... glass the shaddy side of the hill. Big bucks are by the road... they may get pushed there during hunting season or live there year around ( I have seen two B&C Bucks killed within a half mile of a road...)they are there. I personally prefer to get a mile or so from a road and glass. then work an area glassing from different angles. The key is to be patient and glass all day... you will turn something up.

dtower I hear ya! I got a Dec tag and I cannot wait, the weather looks like it will be great. What part of the unit you be hunting in... North, South, East, West (I have a red chevy silverado with a cab over camper and a Polaris Ranger) I plan to spend time around the mine opening weekend.

Bob, did OJ use a gun... we should outlaw knives also

great story and nice shooting....nice buck

that is a great ol muley. nice job the smiles say it all

Hunter, Congrats on a nice deer. Sometime its better to not shoot immediately so you can spend more time in the filed with your family.

Great test, I would think due to the speed and force of the arrow hitting an animal it would stay open all the way through, unless it hit bone and the arrow was stopped. Like any head, shot placement is the key. With an exit wound of 2.5 inches.... I think that would leave a nice blood trail. I went to Walmart last week and picked up a pack for $22, I was bummed all there was one. I shoot the three blade. Good luck...I have to start shooting my bow... I have a Dec rifle hunt so archery has been on the back burner, but I am going to start this week to great ready for Jan.

pretty cool, great shot. awesome footage

Hi Everybody, thanks for the replies, my son and I have enjoyed reading them. We really owe a lot of thanks to our friend Paul who we hunted with...even though he is an ASU fan.. LOL. Yes, the first buck probably was much bigger.... hopefully my 9 year old will pose with him next year.

HAHA he was upset he could not find his lucky red UA hat... so he wore his black Steeler's hat....lets just say that hat will be on my head in Dec...HAHA

Thanks. Brophy had a great year...as did Desert Ridge. I see how hard these young men work and their dedication and that of the coaches its hard to watch them lose...but that is what athletics teach them.

Was scouting for dec WT and saw two herds up higher than where I saw all the hunters on my way in......one buck in 30 mins in glassing....

Hey All, I would like to share a positive experience with a hunting company. I had purchased my son a "Timberhawk Gutbuster" Backpack, to be honest I got it at a good price so I bought it for him, the pack itself is nice and has some nice features (that I wish my Eblerlestock had).... He used it for two seasons and the zippers are snagging and do not function. I called today to send it back as they have a lifetime warranty, and the gentleman said they'd be happy to send out a new pack once they receive his back... guy was professional and nice. To say the least I am shocked it was that easy.

Ah Pasadena. The forbidden land to The Nogales North Kitties and all of their woeful fans. Here are a couple of observations: 1) those red uniforms the kitties were sporting were terrible. 2) already heard one "wait 'til next year" 3) already heard one "wait 'til RichRod gets his recruits in place" (FYI - RichRod was lucky to have Scott and Carey fall into his lap. Without them the kitties would have been lucky to win 2 games this year) 4) heard lots of blame towards Scott. Still waiting for: 1) "wait 'til basketball season because basketball is the kitties sport" 2) the kitties choked being up 10 in the 4th, giving up 24 in the 4th and losing the game 3) the SUNDEVIL defense stepped up and forced a bunch of turnovers and dominated the 4th quarter 4) Still enjoying the National Championship in Baseball

That was simply spectacular, Travis made a great shot. Thank you for helping Travis and posting the video.

I have used them, did not notice the entrance and exit holes as you did. I shot a Javi last year and it performed very well, pig flopped in sight....it was a good shot. I have been a long time user of WacEm's...but they are getting harder and harder to find, when I shoot all that I have I will probably start using the Bloodrunner.... but that will probably change a dozen times...LOL Maybe shoot a orange or watermelon and see if it opens.

I enjoy his show, but he filed a coues hunt already wonder if it will be a new episode.

very sad day, however the republicans had an opportunity and failed. not just in capturing the presidency but also in the senate... stupid comments like a womens's body can reject having a baby in certain cases of rape...really damaged the view of republications s I am sick with ALMOST EVERY politician...all they worry about is getting re-elected and not doing anything for the good of the country. the debt will have to be corrected or we may not have to worry about next time

funny i remember my dad saying similar things when Clinton was elected....
