... was taken away. I hunted my but off for 2 days and woke up sick this morning. I started the hunt off bu getting to my perch overlooking a series of canyons and a mountainside about 30 minutes before dark. As I was waiting for the sun to come up I realized that all my stuff was soaked and then realized my binosular lenses had a layer of water/dew on them. At this point I realized that I had forgotten my lens clothes in the truck so it was a 30 minute jog down the hill to the truck and then a 45 minute jog back up. So I am now about 45 late for glassing. I get back to my perch and sit there for about 30 minutes before I find anything and it is a herd of 8 javelina always fun to find but I am looking for a buck right now. So I continue glassing and find about 7 does and fawns in the next 45 to 60 minutes. Then I take a break and just look at a little wash about 150 yards from me and there he is. It is a solid 3x3 with a massive eyeguard on its left antler that is bent and disformed and has about a 3 inch kicker off of its right G2. I get setup as quietly as possible and wait for him to step out from behind this bush. He does but I rushed the shot and shot under him. He ran 20 yards up the hill and stops I shoot again and missed again. Now I am thinking oh great my rifle is off. I have one more chance and shoot I see the buck arch its back and take off over the ridge. I know the last shot hit him good and get my stuff packed mark where I was sitting and where I believe the deer was hit. When I get over there I find no fur and no blood. Oh great a gut shot just what I need. I follow the blood for about 50 yards then there is no more the tracks go on clean. I keep following the tracks and then I see him go over the ridge about 300 yards away at a full sprint. I searched for 6 hours but could never find him. I know that he is alright because I saw him Saturday feeding with a forky but could not get within range. All day Saturday I saw 4 does and the 2 bucks and 12 more javelina. I am going to go back and try for this guy next weekend. Will post pics of some does and other stuff later.

I will be going down for the second weekend and if anybody would like to come and try to help I will gladly give them a couple venison steaks if successful

Ok so I am really get amped up about this hunt. I am hoping that this is the year when I will be able to tag the elusive coues deer of the desert. I have been packing and getting ready for 3 weeks. I have made several scouting trips all of which I have found bucks and good bucks at that. I have purchased a new tripod and new binos. I have 3 plans on where to go within a 10 square mile area and from all 3 locations I have seen at least 2 3x3's or better. I am leaving Thursday around noon and will be coming back Sunday night or morning depending on how the hunt turns out. I cant stand the wait any longer it is driving me crazy it is all I can think about anymore.

This will be my last post before I leave in 5 hours wish me luck I will bring back a ton of pics successful or not.

Now I am really ready. I went to Walmart and got me a full set of camo for $75. I was able to get 2 shirts, 1 pair of camo jeans, a camo jacket, camo belt, camo gloves and a camo safari hat. I have never seen this camo before but it looks like it would rule in the desert terrain. Natural Gear is what its called. Leaving in 14 hours 20 minutes.

Talk about an awesome hunt. Congrats on your deer man that is definately a unique deer.

Great deer man.

In 36b every doe I saw had at least 1 fawn with her. Gonna be alot of bucks next year.

Great pic of the lion and 3 racks in 1 day. I still havent found a rack or matched set in 17 years lol

I agree with you Casey if I am not deer hunting or scouting I am out there quail hunting. I try my best to stay out of the way of people and try to stay out of units that have hunts. It is almost impossible though because almost every single unit in the south has a December hunt and that is the best place in the state to hunt quail. Also there are certain quail hunters like me who go after mearns quail that only live in the southern areas where the whitetail live and the season is only open for about 5 weeks when deer season isnt going on so I apologize if I ever messed up your hunt I go back in where no hunters dare to go most of the time so I dont bother the deer hunters. So before you make accusations about all quail hunters try to get the facts straigt

Very nice deer there. Congrats to your wife.

Beautiful mount there. What did he end up scoring he looks massive?

I was just at the Sportmans Warehouse last night and saw you also to.

That last buck looks like an awesome buck. Great pics Scott. Good luck Doug to you and your kid.

Sorry Josh your right I thought it said it is a coues but it clearly say's I know its not a coues. Thanks for the correction Josh. Glad to hear about your success this year so far.

Very nice that is what I would like to get come November.

Congrats on tagging out azpackhorse. Sorry to hear that yous son couldnt get one but that is hunting.

I found a button buck this last weekend each spike was only about 2 inches long. Still man a deer is a deer. Congrats
