Wow, last week a friend of mine said something that was so true, tagging another deer that is dead or mortally wounded is like buying a mount or rack at the swap meet or on Ebay and saying you killed it... its just not right. Redman

Tough one to answer... its great you won the award and it's something to to be very proud of, but having to be responsible for the cost both ways? What do they mean, no tracking, you drop it off, they return it. Its seems like they don't want to take much responsibility for it. What happens if the mount is lost, stolen, or damaged at the display? If you decide to not send it, print this and hang it on the wall. THAT IS ONE heck OF A BUCK!! Redman

ndaniel, I'm not the clearest thinker when I get around deer (i suffer from buckitis) and the truth be told I missed once or twice while chasing him...but I knew one thing, this one was not getting away. Redman

mulie hunter, It's an AR 34. I have had it for three years now. Its a great shooting bow, I almost picked up the Mach X a couple of weeks ago..... but now that money will now go for a mount!! I not complaining...still smileing! Do you shoot an AR? Redman

great picture very unique. Redman

Great Job and what a nice buck... p.s. you only have to sit out in AZ, there are plenty of hunting possibilities from New Mexico to Oregon... Redman

WAY TO GO!! THAT IS AWESOME! Good luck on future hunts. Redman

That is pretty cool, i don't know if I have enough mojo to try that next year, my hat is off to you. Redman

great job, father and son.... nice! Redman

. put up a price.... Redman

Went hunting this weekend in 33 with a friend, the rut is on, saw a couple of bucks mounting does. Seems earlier this year than in years past. Redman

the topic lists it as a 2001, looks like a 2005. nice truck. Redman

Kill them all, let god sort them out..... when deer get in the way of national security...KILL THEM ALL... Redman

Great story and congratulations, glad you could experience with your family. Redman

I also noticed the bonus points have been updated but the loyalty was not correct. I called and was told the loyalty was not correct yet. The Game and Fish really have trouble with computer applications. Redman

Nice buck, congrats. Its always nice to have a good brother! Redman

My pair of pronghorns purchased in Sept are trashed. They have been worn in the filed for approximately 20 days this year, I will be testing how good the Danner warranty is after Jan. Redman

Redman My son and I have returned from his first hunt. Same "undesired" coues unit, same desired results. My son is 10 years old and shot a nice 3x3. He connected on his second shot at 150 yds. What a trooper, he never complained about the hills, the cold, just a little about the stickers. He also did not know what to think about the gutting process..... a quote from him " I play my Xbox and I have shot many things, but I never see real blood, I guess I really killed him"... I think he now realizes what death is.. Boy, to all you fathers, mothers, uncles, friends, etc who have taken a kid hunting..... you deserve a lot of credit..... I hope your rewards are as great as mine. I would also like to thank all the folks who teach the hunter safety course (by the way who are volunteers), the Sportsman's Warehouse (for hosting the class), and the Game and Fish folks for putting on the hunter safety class.

For me, I got a 33/37B archery pig tag and a later unit 1 gobbler tag...which after last year I am getting into turkey hunting. My son got the general 33 pig tag.. Redman

Thanks for all the replies, my son is surprised how many people replied and viewed this topic. He really wants his picture up at Sportsman's. Younghunter, you are correct. I think of it as a down payment. I have already told him he owes me 1 deer pack out and gutting. Hopefully we can run that number up to 4 or 5 in the next few hunts before he is self sufficient. Not too mention the camp setup and tear down..... The normal phrase is take a kid hunting...but for all you 25-40 year olds, the saying can also be "take your dad hunting" ... Redman

They did more than clean house, they cleaned the yard, shed, and painted the house!! That first buck is awesome. Redman

That is a nice buck, great job, I'm sure that won't be your last. Redman

Man that was just awesome. I would love to do that......at least until I am in the middle of it. Sleeping under a juniper without a bag? Now that is hard core..... I am glad your efforts paid off. Thanks for the pictures. Redman

Another rifle season has come and gone and I was lucky enough to harvest a buck. I had a great time in an "undesired" coues unit. I even and met a fellow cousewhitetail member and witnessed his kill shot (which was the best I've ever seen....congrats (did you finish your bottle). I had a great time with a couple of friends. A year is a long time to wait. At least in two weeks my son will go on his first coues hunt. Come on all you successful hunters share your photos. Redman

Ok, here is a question that I have been debating, Jumping Jack or the Fleetwood E2 (assume the price was the same)? Redman
