Great story and pics...thanks for sharing. That's what it's all about whether you fill your tags or not. Being from TN, I appreciate your taste for TN honey. A necessity for me in camp too.

Beautiful buck and a great story. Congrats!

Congrats on a nice buck and props to having great buddies...that's what hunting is all about.

Great story and totally relate to the love/hate aspect to hunting. I've been eating tag soup going on 3 yrs now and I even bowhunt to increase the opportunity. Great picture with the iPhone through binos...I may have to try that on my next hunt. Keep at it and take up bowhunting to increase your opportunities to get out...plenty of time to get ready for December bow season.

That's what it's all about...looks like you had a great time even though you didn't fill your tags. Thanks for sharing the story and pics.

Congrats! Nice looking buck.

Awesome...congrats! And really cool to see the Rage doing the job on a huge animal like that.

Awesome first buck...the smile tells it all!

Great bucks, guys! Congrats! Maybe I need you guys to guide me on my hunt in a couple of weeks...

Awesome first deer! Congrats to Rylee. I can't wait for my two kids to be old enough to do more than just tag along on hunting trips! Just noticed that rack looks a whole lot like my first whitetail that's hanging on the wall here...killed it 23 years ago with a 20 gauge slug in a TN cornfield.

Sorry to hear about that loss...gotta be a heartbreaker for your 10 year old. Might contact AZGFD in that area too just in case.

Nice buck...definitely a shooter for me too.

Nice buck and a great way to end that drought! Agree that little one has a lot fun to look forward to...

Congrats! Sounds like a great experience and an awesome story...

Awesome...congrats! Love the symmetry.

Great job and congrats!

Very nice buck. Congrats!

Nice buck and a great story! Good work!

Good eatin'...and remember your tag says "any antlered deer" so a unicorn counts.

Nice buck...congrats! The random shots from the deer drivers is pretty scary though.

Got a leftover in 35A this year, so hopefully will have some good news and photos to share in a few weeks. Looking at your photos I sure hope so.

The forum and the website are blocked sites at my work, but doesn't necessarily make me more productive daydreaming and sometimes cruising the forum on my phone. Good luck to all this weekend...not my turn until 11/4. Heading to the range today and hoping it might be dead there.

Awesome buck, especially for the first one. Good luck on the second tag and can't wait for the stories.

Nice buck and great way to make it a family hunt. Can't wait until my kids are old enough to hunt with me. Took my 6 year old scouting for coues today and he loved it.
