Great job what a great experience.

Hey CJ I missed this post what a stud buck.. A huge congrats, its been a long time man. Houston Davis

Well I probably won't guess, but RH what a stud buck... This is one of the coolest bucks I've ever had the pleasure to handle. This thing was super heavy, lots of great mass, Congrasts RH and Jason.. Wellers did a pretty good job, awesome.

J- What a great bull, Congrats Brock on a great year you earned it man.. Nice job.

I've hunted it quite a bit.. Unless you know someone with a key the gates are all locked. The mine used to be open but the last few years they had it shut down because someone shot a hole in the window of a mine loader, so they blocked access. It is tough steep country. I used to walk miles up those roads to glass everyday. Lots and lots of does but buck numbers have been down the last few years. There is good buck taken out of there every year but IMO it is not as common place as it used to be. The north side of the sierrita mtns have relativly few deer, i've glassed up a few lions the southern part has the most illegal traffic, lots of illegals and trash. Good luck with your hunt. The black hills have some good deer numbers but alot of people in the early hunts.

Rembrant- Shipley bull was 502 gross, from San Carlos, I'm sure a bunch of farm bulls are over 500.. This spider bull has been hunted for a couple of months already but finally was finished off. What a stud bull

Hey Amanda we just found out that we will be down there for a funeral so I'll probably stop by with the boys for a while. Houston

I read most of this and since I have a minor in Religious studies I must be qualifed to answer, but I won't, I just found this part of Stanely's post funny. If we all start to be gay this sure won't be an issue.

Jade I keep looking at these pups just don't have the room or time right now.. I had a pretty hard time last month with our Queensland I had to put down. I have a picture of my black and tan when I was young, what memoreis, hounds are alot of work but man is it fun. Good luck finding some good homes. I'm sure any dog from the Goodman family will be a great dog and has good upbringing, wish I was in the market.

Alot of great character, what an excellent bull. Awesome

Congrats on a great bull, way to stick with it, someday again I hope to draw another tag.. Nice job

Hey congrats to the Sherwood boys. J nice job.. My son got to participate his first NM lope hunt this year, few more years he will be able to lay it down like Brock. Brock get feeling better and a huge congrats.

Great Bull, glad you had good success. That bull has some pretty good fronts, nice job.

Huge congrats to the Browning Team Great job on some very good looking goats..

Congrats on a great looking goat

Hey Mike, I too almost look at this buck every day.. What a stud buck and great job.. way to go

J, Nice pictures.. that bull looks real cool. He has pretty good tops and good look at that main beam length it drops down and adds some inches.. He is not a huge bull (looks to be a really big 5x5) is that left side only have 5 points? but even as a mainframe 5x5 I bet it is isn't an inch under 320, his mass is one of the only things really lacking. Nice job, sure a pretty bull.

What an absolute beauty of a buck.. I agree and second all that has been said, one of the best and most beautiful bucks taken.. Thanks for sharing. Congrats. Spot and Stalk the only way to go.. nice.

Hello all hunting in 3c this fall. (below is an unashamed advertisement) My dad recently bought the convenience store located between Heber and Show Low, used to be called Spears but is now Coles Livery. Cole is my dad and a great guy who is trying to give the community a decent place to buy fuel and small amount of groceries. He has been struggling with federal regulations and financing in trying to get fuel back in the area..If your in the area stop by say hi, support the area if you can.. He hasn't gotten out in the woods much this year, but he was born and raised in Clay Springs and has been there and hunted for 50+ years so he knows the area, the roads and a little about everything going on. It is family run business so you might run into my mom or brothers, forgive them as clerks they are trying. They have basic groceries and camping items, and a few snacks, but no alcohol or tobacco, sorry.. Good luck on all the hunts, stop by and say Hi. I'll be there off and on for the next few months with my own archery deer tag, helping on a few elk hunts and a late season deer tag. Any Questions PM or email me. See ya this weekend. Thanks, Houston

Thanks guys.. It is on the north side of 260 almost exactly between Heber and Show Low. MP 326 or 327 I think.

Jim nice write-up I'll have to give it a try.. I've been using the system from Nimrod.. It is like most current systems but yet it doesn't stretch and move while walking.

Wow, what a stud bull. Somtimes we are too wrapped up in score and forget the little things. I love the bull named after family what a great memory.

I shot a small buck in Utah to get things started and drew 3a/3c archery tag..Since I grew up there and my family is still there I've spent quite a few days this summer there. Things are looking pretty good, lots of deer and some decent bucks.. Good luck to everyone

Yeah Utah had a good year this year.. Lots of bucks, some big most small. Most of the tags were Left Over tags that sold out in 5 days or so. Last year it took almost 2 mo if I remember correctly for them to sell out..I got lucky and got my tag on the first day they were avaiable.. Congrats to all of the guys that shot those bucks, some very good deer in there. I also missed a big buck and settled for a last hour buck before I needed to come home, I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it back up.

As mentioned above I think using Radios is the same as using trail cams too me ethically.. I don't use either one, first I don't use radios because I hunt alone, next I don't use trail cams because I just got a job and stopped going in debt for school and can't afford them yet . Anyway congrats to all those who get er done with or without all the extras.. I use a compound bow and a rangefinder and I still think it is more sporting to use a stick and string but haven't done it yet.. Too each there own.. Anyway.... time to leave for opening day in UT. Good luck to all
