Congrats to both boys on great bucks. Congrats to the proud Dad for great boys! Family time is the best. 2 bucks makes it better!

Nice Buck. Great Shot! Spending time with Dad is Priceless! Congrats.

Congrats. Thanks for sharing the story and pics!

Very nice Buck. Great shot! Thanks for the bullet performance info.

Great looking country. Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Nice buck! Congrats to you. It is a shame to see our beautiful desert trashed like that! I am sure the fireball and a hotel bed helped a little.

WOW!!!!!! Congrats! That'll keep you addicted for life! Looking forward to the full story.

Where are you located? Interested in the size 40 pants.

I was fly fishing for Salmon on the Trask river with a buddy. We waded across some really fast moving water to get to the beds. On the third cast this GIANT hit it. The battle was on. We had a stalemate for about 15 minutes. I asked my buddy what to do. He said cross back over the fast water to work him downstream or hold on. About that time the Darn hook straightened out and came right back at me!!!!! I'm gonna get that SOB some day!

What an adventure. Don't wanna go swimming there! That last sunset pic is spectacular!

Congrats. I'd take that dink anyday! Nice to spend the time with family.

Congrats on a great buck. Quite the bonus with the other finds.

Congrats. Great aritcle.

Perfect way to celebrate his life and teachings. Sorry for your loss. I am sure he is up there smiling down on you and the memorial you made for him!

You have nothing to worry about. They don't cross during the holidays! Hahahaha

That is really cool.

Picked up my Dad and left town around 10:00 Thursday. My Brother was stuck in meetings and met us at camp (he always does this to get out of setting up camp). Weather was perfect and we actually got to the spot we used to camp at 35 years ago. My 88 year old Dad decided to split the cedar stump we found along the way. My brother arrived and we did a little scouting. Then it was time for dinner. Dutch oven shepherds pie and sitting around a nice fire Couldn't sleep that night. Even at my old age I still get too excited to sleep the night before the hunt. Got up at O dark thirty and headed out to our glassing spot after coffee. No deer spotted but several Grey Fox and a lot of quail. Spooked a couple of doe on the way back to camp. My Dad was looking a little tired. I had forgotten how darn rough that country was. We ate breakfast and made another loop trying to see something. The only thing I got was a sunburn. Time for lunch. Drove further up the road to hunt for the evening. More quail and a lot of sign. The Manzanita was so thick in there. Even if you saw one you wouldn't have time to get a shot. Found this track. Not sure what made it. Dad was really tired that night. So was I! Dinner, campfire and cocktails then bed. The stars were spectacular both nights. Woke up to a fingernail moon over the peak. Dad didn't feel like going out for the morning hunt. He said there wasn't any game (his way of saying I'm tired). After the morning hunt we packed up and came home. We didn't get to hunt that much and didn't bring back any meat but spending the time with my Dad and Brother was successful in my book. I never know if this will be the last time I get to hunt with my Dad and I will take tag soup and spending time with him over any trophy buck. Sorry it was a long read.

I was hoping you might stop by. We were just past Griffin ranch. Close to 7 mile wash and Yankee Joe wash. How was your hunt? I hope you had a great time as well.

Congrats on a GREAT buck! Glad you got to be with your Dad when he got it.

That is an awesome trophy. $1000 is pretty steep but most of us have seen one in the wild. I'd sure try to find a way to have him mounted. Congrats!

Congrats on 2 nice bucks. Family fun for sure. Good luck getting the third! Glad you didn't let the Jackwagon ruin your fun!

Congrats Ernesto and Ana! It's fun to hear a proud father talk about their kids. You are a good father to get her to that buck! What a great double team!

Why don't you visit them on their hunt banging pots and pans all the way in I'd release a garbage bag full of scorpions in their blind!
