VIDEO LINK: http://www.zacgriffith.com/mule-deer/film-zac-griffiths-arizona-archery-desert-mule-deer-hunt-sixty-days/ I backpacked into a nasty basin on Monday night. Due to the full moon I only saw does and little bucks that evening. I slept under the brightest moon Ive ever seen and knew the deer were up all night so I was doubtful about the morning. I picked this hog up at 7:30 a mile away. I filmed him for a few minutes then he slipped into a pocket. A few seconds later I watched two more bucks drop in so I knew war had commenced!!!! I ripped across the flats and made it to them just as the dust was settling. My buck dominated and won took the does up a rocky canyon. The other two 150 class bucks headed out the wash. I worked after the deer for an hour and put my sneaky feet on once I was at the mouth of the canyon. The wind was strong in my face and I whittled up the wash for a few hundred yards. The wind had all of the brush and palo verdes swaying so much that I walked right into the does!!! I had a fawn bedded, out cold at 15 yards. They proceeded to mingle and browse all around me. I knew the buck was near and I filmed the does expecting him to pop up with them. As they worked around me I noticed the buck coming up the wash from behind!!! He passed me at 50 yards but I was pinned from drawing because of the does. He got with the ladies and plopped down and bedded right in the sun!! 40 yards, looking right at me. I had an arrow nocked, release clipped and waited for 20 min or so for a doe to distract him. She busted me mid-draw but I side-stepped into the opening and settled my pin on his chest. The arrow blew right through his heart and lung and he jumped out of bed and only made it 15 yards before expiring!!! No video of the kill and it would've been epic! I work so hard on these public land desert mule deer. I literally have hunted 60 days total since killing my last desert buck in Aug 2012. They are fascinating critters and the ULTIMATE survivor. The desert is so dry and crunchy that they really are the toughest spot and stalk animal I have ever hunted! "You skin grizz?"

Hahaha! NO ONE does it better than KID! I've been saving that song for a while--needed the right epic kill sequence! cohntr6, we are at 87.5 gr RL22. Seems to be hot but not too hot! 3250fps I haven't touched that load in three years. Its been a beast.

Thanks guys! cohntr6, we hand load a 180 gr Scirocco with RL22. It's been a great, all around, versatile bullet.

Average Joe, I'm guessing you're 75 years old? The music is what I LOVE about my films. Who doesn't like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith??? Music conveys so much emotion, I really don't understand where you're coming from?
-
Thank you Critter! I learn more on each film!

Thanks fellas! Unforgettable trip!
