Brandon's Taxidermy in phoenix. He has a freeze dryer. (602) 370-3844. Tell him Bridger sent you. Don't do artificial velvet, it looks bad

Hahahaha. Love it.

I spoke with James about this buck. After crunching numbers and seeing different pictures and video, I was wrong in my original judgement. I will not say an exact number that i came up with, but it is a lot closer to 140" than i thought. Huge bodied and deer and a big dude standing next to it changes a lot of perspective. Huge buck with crazy mass. Love seeing an average Joe kill animals like. this

So, after about 10 years and 20 or so animal pack outs, i figure it is time to wash my pack. It smells awful when it gets wet. I guess an accumulation of blood from bears, elk, deer, turkeys, javelina and antelope will do that. I have an Eberlestock Dragonfly, so it's a really big, bulky pack and won't fit in the washer. What do all of you guys do to wash your packs? It needs a serious cleaning, not just a quick scrub. Any ideas are geeatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Huge buck, and huge congrats to the hunter. I will probably never shoot a deer that big, especially DIY, archery spot and stalk. Congrats again, I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Most of the animals in there come from tajikistan, pakistan, etc. waay up in the mountains in some very hostile places. The big ones are members of the argali sheep family. Amazing animals.

Holy ovis and capra

Sounds like i'll be filling up the bathtub. Thanks for the input. Update. I'd say it was about time. Yuck. The smell coming out is terrible

in the video he is bout 3X the size of that little coues buck. really weird, long, skinny tail, muley face, huge body... nice buck, regardless but i would bet money on a hybrid.

there was a pretty good post that turned into this topic a couple weeks ago http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/59846-cell-service-help/?hl=+cell%20+phone%20+signal

They are illegal in az. 'Nuff said

here is the blind that i mentioned. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/guide-gear-5-hub-ground-hunting-blind?a=956773 it was on sale when i bought it. still a great deal though. it sets and folds down incredibly easy. for that price, it wouldn't be too big of a deal if something happened to it. i have spent a LOT of time in a few different blinds, and like i said, i actually have preferred this one over any of the others. shoot through mesh works well too, if you are not shooting an expandable. a pretty nice coues buck would attest to these statements a few days ago.

could be the same lion. looks very similar and size and all the pics look female to me. cats really cover a lot of area.

I cannot believe these haven't sold. I paid $1400 for mine, used and thouggt that was a pretty good deal

Look at the used zeiss 15's in the classifieds here. They are better glass than the non-HD swaros. Great price on them too.

I have had a bunch of ground blinds. Just bought a 5-hub from sportsmans guide for $65. I like it a lot better than the expensive ones i've had. My buddy even shot a buck out of it last weekend. Don't be afraid of the quality for the price. I was shocked how simple it sets up and really sturdy and light

Face paint. Face masks are a pain in the @$$ after a while.

That's awesome. Way to go dad

Pretty classless picture, not just the baby deer, but the arrow through the throat

Stihl and Husqvarna are like comparing fords and chevys. Stihl makes a great saw, some people might tell you otherwise because they like husky. If you are looking for a big, commercial grade saw you can really cut some wood with look no further than a stihl or husky

Ummmm. That buck looks like a giant? Am i the only one here?

If you got a good enough deal, possibly. Looks like it'll range 1000 yards or so. A rangefinder half that price would work better and be more practical for hunting.

Looks like it is a surveying range finder and cost about 1,700. Some of their other models look identical to the G7. Probably both made by the same company

Is that a coues or mule deer? Looks really big for a coues! Any other pics?

Take full advantage of youth hunts and the various youth hunter programs put on by different organizations. Put them in for the great youth deer and cow hunts that Arizona offers. Even if it takes a couple years for them to draw, having a great first hunting experience will get them hooked
