Nice Buck

looks great

Congrats guys

Great job

It sure is nice having a TV to watch that hunts the way we do in Az. I have been watching for a while now and am impressed. Spot & Stalk is a great way to hunt but cannot image doing it with a camera man in your hip pocket. From coues, mulies and elk great show.

Day 1 Decoyed a good buck and his 8 doe to 65 yards. The grass swaying back and fourth and being it was 3 feet tall my range finder was giving me all kind of yardages and I shot over his back. Day 2 Rain and more Rain managed to get within a 100 yards of buck but got busted trying to range him. Day 3 Glassed my best spot for bucks but nothing. I had found bucks here every time during scouting but thought I was in trouble cause I never had seen a doe. I think the bucks had moved looking for doe. Day 4 Had to be at home Day 5 Glassed herd early and moved in using washes and drainages to belly crawl within 140 yards. The herd decided to move a mile and then bed down. Again I belly crawled to 108 yards and the booger taking off on a two mile trot. I get back on them before dark and miss a shot. Day 6 Same herd had moved back 4 miles to same location as day 5. They move out and bed in wide open, no grass, no drainages nothing to use for a stalk. Finally they get up again and move towards some cover and bed down. I move in slow and have the buck and does at 90 yards only to have a doe get up start feeding and bust me. Day 7 Glass up a solo buck looking for doe and watch as he makes a 2 mile loop only stopping for a minute at a time. While watching him I glass up my buck bedded in the wide open by himself. I ease over there and my buck is gone. I hike back up top and see he has moved to another bed and is stalkable. I move in nock an arrow and am looking for my shot when the buck gets up and starts feeding. I watch for a hour until he beds again. He decided to bed in a little shallow saddle about 90 yards wide. I slip the boots off and move in. I am coming in slightly higher than the saddle inch by inch looking for the buck. I see the tops of his horns under a little cedar and range the top of the tree. 55 yards!!! I duck, draw my bow, walk two steps forward, rise up and hit him right through shoulder. Buck takes off with three legs and blood pumping makes it 91 yards and falls. I just got my first antelope spot&stalk. I quarter the buck snap a few bad solo pics and start the mile+ hike back to truck. Having not eating in 5 hours, the heat, and the water mix and I start puking shortly before reaching the truck. Its complete!! I had a blast, lost some weight, got some thorns in my feet and sun burn. Ready to hang the bow up and enjoy some rifle hunts which I haven't done for myself in 9 years.

Awesome!!

Thanks Just dumb enough to keep at it till it works lol

Hunts over for me. Put on a lot of miles and a lot of hours behind the glass. Made a stalk everyday I hunted and twice on a couple days. Decoyed one group in only to miss a good buck due to grass and trouble with correct yardage from finder. Spot and stalk was way more productive. There was water all over the unit and a LOT of coyotes. The few people I talked with were friendly. Got some good info from guys on CWT. Harvested a 66" buck yesterday with a 55 yard shot after he bedding down. I learned getting to within a 150 yards is fairly easy and pretty tough getting within a 100 yards. These things would bed for up to an hour and then pop up again. I was solo and didn't get great pics but will post up later.

Mine used to do the same thing. I started shooting cock vane at eleven o'clock and it fixed the problem

awesome job

I HATE CHANGE!!!!

I was out in 3B North on Friday and lost count about a dozen coyotes. I was looking at some good looking stuff and seen way more coyotes than antelope. Think I will take the rifle this weekend

thanks for the info

On CWT?

If I can kill a buck with a bow in 3b N, anyone can. Just don't get shot by a meth head first Boy I hope that's true I ain't no trophy hunter though I have covered a lot of country trying to find as many bucks as possible and I am only up to four different bucks

yes we did thanks for offering

Boy this thread sure makes me feel confident on my 3BN archery tag in two weeks.

Awesome buck and story Great having these threads to read waiting for my hunt in 3 weeks

might be on to something took my family 12 years to see our first now we have seen 5 in the last 3 years
