Wow for sure!!! That thing is huge! And 3 spot-and-stalk coues...somebody's been doing their homework! Great job!

Wow - that is a great buck! Congratulations!!!

Dang!!! Nice pictures, Scott.

Actually, no. He was in a whole different area than the spot I was looking at opening day.

For starters, I want to thank everyone for your support on this thread! And you guys were right - I ended up switching my locations and strategy a little bit and it paid off! I got my first ever archery deer, and I couldn't be happier with him! Thanks again, Jason

Great looking buck! I love that double drop-tine buck too!

AZOnecam is pretty vanilla - started posting waaaaaay back when I bought my first Mathews SoloCam bow, and duh, I'm from AZ. BTW, Now I shoot Bowtech

Nice buck! I was gonna say "I know but I ain't tellin", then you let the cat out of the bag! Thanks for posting the pix, Cory.

Awesome Job!!! What a great first buck!

Wow - those are huge! You sure you're not a few feet back? Seriously, congrats on some great bruins.

Nicely done! Congrats on a beautiful buck!

Congrats Clay!!! A very nice buck for sure!

I've found that by handling arrows from the NOT razor-sharp end helps avoid injury - not judging - just passing along some helpful advice for the future...

Wow - what a tool. Just think, this guys vote counts the same as sane peoples' votes. What a shame. I only made it about 30 seconds in - my tolerance for stupidity is pretty low.

Wow - great pics! That's a pack of deer-killers for sure!

Duh! That's a total Kornbagger question!

I just saw that Cabelas has their Knight Long Range Hunter ML in the bargain cave marked down from $699 to $399. It's not the thumbhole stock, but these are very accurate muzzle loaders. Keep in mind, Knight did go under, so that's probably why they're marked down - regardless, they are very good muzzies.

I'm gonna have to have a closer look, mabe a DNA test or something... Tell you what, just shoot me the coords and I'll arrow him and get back to you with my findings.

Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison of the Vortex and Minox? I've looked through the Vortex but not Minox. I'd be interested to see how they stack up against eachother.

LOL Headache! Good ones! I tend to agree with Clay...'nuff said. Oh, and the map - what a joke!!!

I'm a firm believer in the youth hunts. Absolutely love them, and if that means I have to wait longer for "my own" tag, so be it. To answer one of your points about left-over tags. To be honest, most of the leftover tags are in some of the units I would be LEAST likely to hunt with my kids. I'd love to hunt 30A or 30B some time with a group of adults, but there is just too much trafficking going on there to do the father/sons hunt for me personally. I'm glad everyone is keeping it civil - this is definately a "hot-button" issue for lots of us, but admit it - before we had kids many of us may have made the same arguments.

Welcome, and thanks for posting those. That second vid of the buck was funny! Sure looks like he's just running back-and-forth for fun!

Congrats! Now go buy mom some flowers

I'm a fan of the Vortex as far as non-premium glass. One of the few "bargains" in the optics world IMO.

Hey guys, I just had a white 2002 F250 Super Crew Diesel stolen this weekend - actually, this is the second time in 2 years. The first time, it was stolen out of San Diego - right out of the Sea World parking lot. Somehow, it was found in Tiajuana with no major damage. This time, it was stolen from the Arizona Grand Resort at Baseline and I-10 while we were vacationing. This was not some pimped out, or highly modified "eye magnet". It was a very stock truck with over 100K miles. The response from Tempe PD was pretty telling. They are filling in many reports of these types of trucks stolen EVERY DAY. In fact, at the rental car office, 20 minutes ahead of me was a guy who had an F350 stolen. These things are in high demand. If you are anywhere near the valley, do yourselves a favor and install some type of theft deterrent device. According to Tempe police, they are being used to transport illegals and drugs across the border and are highly favorable right now. Protect your trucks! I wish I had done something. It's a miserable feeling, for sure.
