Great video, I'd say that buck is only about 3 years old, so anything's possible. My guess he's a 3X next year, if he's still around.

R.I.P. He was taken on Saturday.

The buck in the "rear" could possibly be him in Sept. .

Thanks everyone, This buck is a very good buck, I got within 20 yards of him twice last year but just couldn't get a good angle for a shot. I was hoping he wouldn't be broken up during the rut, so when I found his sheds I could get them mounted. I haven't found him again this year, yet. He will be about 6 1/2 years old this year and with the good rains should be at his peak. I'm hoping a lion didn't get him. I'll start looking hard for him after the last general season.

Here's a few small ones.

Just thought I'd post a pic' of sheds from the buck I was after in Dec. and Jan. , (This buck's existence saved several smaller bucks' life). I'll add some "on the hoof" pics later.

x2 Good wool socks (at least 70 wool, no polyester) and goretex socks (in case your boot's gortex fails), and carry enough socks with you that you can change them if they get sweaty. I carry at least 4 pair if I'm going over 5 miles. You should never get a blister with dry socks, unless your boots don't fit correctly. For tooth pain, chew on some whole cloves, works wonders and is a great cover sent.

My broadheads are sharp. I love this time of year.

“Ethical” does not equal “Legal” and “Legal” does not equal “Ethical” This paradox has caused the formation and fall of every government in the history of mankind. Laws are between you and your Government. Laws are only as good as the people that wrote and enforce them. Ethics are between you and God. Ethics are only as good as YOU. Let’s stop confusing the two. That’s what we have politicians and lawyers for. Thanks, Dan

sounds like you had fun, but something bothers me about you statements of missing by an inch or three. if you miss the whole animal by an 1 inch high that means you missed the lungs/hart by at least 6 inches (more like 8) and 7 yard difference in yardage shouldn't equal that big of a miss.

dummy camera with pepper spray rigged to go off when opened, would be they way to go. That would make for a long walk/drive back for the thief.

The deer killed where in the fenced area north of the Sierra Vista airport road, almost at Huachuca city. They where Mule Deer, and where fenced in when they installed "Home-land Security Fencing" a couple years ago. This is a 8 foot chain-link fence with barb wire on top. There was no way for deer to exit or enter this area. At the time of fence's completion, they counted at about 24 deer (all mule deer) trapped in fencing.

they where not couse deer, they where carp.

"velvet sunset" not a photo, but a pic I made for my computer desktop.
