Is it me, or is it really strange that a lot of us had cameras shut off at potentially the exact same time? Hmmmm. Sounds like EMP testing. Haha

"Hunter at hill, Hunter at home"

I wonder if there was some kind of big electrical storm or something? My camera shut off either the 14th or 15th in unit 27 as well

i had the EXACT same thing happen a few weeks ago. my camera ran fine for about a month and shut off about a week before i picked it up. when i got to the camera i turned it off then on again. full battery life, seemed to be working fine. never thought about the possibility of it being lightning?

oooh, that sounds juicy? i hammered an antelope a few years ago in colorado. straight through the lungs at about 500 yards. the buck took off like antelope do a lot and went on about a half mile death run that seemed to last all of about 20 seconds. died right in front of another hunter near a road. he loaded my buck up and hauled butt. i wasn't too heart broken. he was just an average buck and the place i was hunting was loaded up with goats that year. shot and tagged another one the next morning

man. tough break. i always hear stories like that and wonder what the conclusion would be if it happened to me. got any pics of those monster bucks you guys killed?

depending on the unit, catch them out in the flats at daylight and cut them off when they head back into the timber to bed down

had another hunter steal a 230" buck? can you expand on this? my most memorable hunts are where i killed a 374" 7X7 on an early archery hunt and had my dad and brother with me, as well as an old family friend. or the 402" bull i shot on the last day of the hunt after grinding it out and hunting by myself most of the time in an extremely tough unit. been with my brother on a couple outstanding bulls the last couple years too. the size of the animal doesn't make the hunt, but it sure makes them more memorable

Think I need to have GreyGhost85 re score my goat for me. Can we add inside spread to him? He'd be over 90" for sure if we did..haha Out of curiosity would my goat be bigger by SCI guidelines GreyGhost85?Yeah, and your avatar buck scores 100". That buck i posted was killed with an auction tag last year smart@ss. Do your homework before you try to make a mockery out of somebody that knows what he is talking about. I've killed 5 antelope myself and probably been on 30 antelope kills, but what do i know? Listen you know it all prick! i was joking about re scoring my goat, hence the joke about adding spread. The question about the SCI scoring was an actual question due to the fact that i didn't know if the had different criteria for SCI. I not once was questioning your "knowledge". But i will tell you one thing. you need to watch who you run your mouth to, and not be so quick to jump to your ignorant defense. And if you have some text book response about "keyboard tough guys" send me a message and we can settle this like men. If that's not something your willing to do then i suggest you shut your trap! I have been nothing but respectful since i joined this site all i expect is the same. Well, i wasn't going to respond to your nonsense, but here I am. You obviously attacked me to begin with. Play dumb if you like. I am a "know it all prick"? I don't think so. There are some people on here that have a LOT of knowledge on hunting, and I am one of them. I grew up with an outfitter as a father and spent my fall every year in elk camp. I've picked up a thing or two. Now, I need to watch who i run my mouth to? Do your research and get back to me. I am not someone you would want to tangle with. I promise you that. A lot of people on here know me personally and will testify to that. You better be 10' tall and bullet proof to act like thay to anyone you do not know. You are right however, about being respectful on this forum. That is why your first response to me caught me off guard. My name is Bridger. I am not hard to find if you are so adament about "settling this like men". I hope we can chalk it up to a misunderstanding On both parties and move on, but if you feel so inclined to seek me out, so be it and good luck

if you subtract 4 inches, that buck still goes over 90 B&C. He's 94" and change net B&C, 97 and change SCI

prongs are measured from the tip of the prong to the center of the back of the horn, not just how far they protrude. that buck is mid to high 80's for sure. lots of people underestimating him. look at some of the ones that go around 90 on pronghorn guide services page. they look VERY similar. i bet his horns are around 15" too. lots curl to them too. this buck was killed last year and scores way over 90"

maybe Hunt of a Lifetime? Also, the CHAMP hunts are a great resource for disabled hunters here in AZ. A good friend's dad drew a kaibab CHAMP hunt this year that is rifle and starts september 9th. Those hunts are much easier to draw than others

I carry zeiss 15's and a zeiss diascope hd 65mm. Extremely light, very packable spotter. The big 80mm scopes are nice but they are too big/heavy for me

It is such a kick in the nuts when you set a camere only to find it malfunctioned. I only buy them with the exterior picture count so i know they are taking pics before i leave them. It's the main thing i look for in cameras anymore

That is a real tought one to judge. Over 80" for sure though. Wouldn't be surprised if he was in the mid to upper 80's

I shoot 285 amax's put of my lapua. Devastating on game

900 ft lbs of torque in my 2016 dodge 2500.....hard to out pull that. just sayin

i've seen a couple coues in 7. they are sparse, but they are in there. had a buddy kill a real nice archery coues in either 7 or 11 about 10 years ago. think he scored 107"?

Bears destroy them because they are assh0les. I like to relate bears to unruly fat kids. They like to destroy things for no apparent reason.

I've always used pop up ground blinds with a lot of success. They keep you a lot more shaded, and really conceal your movement. I feel like they probably contain your scent a little bit as well. I brush them in a little bit but don't get too crazy with it. I always try to set them under a big tree to keep me in the shade all day

yup. lookin good.

Is this for real? ^ Yeah, not sure i agree with that one. i have done well over the years by hunting for a mature animal until the hunt winds down, then i go into freezer filling mode. i like big antlers and have taken my share of great animals, but i like venison too much to eat a tag. Kudos to the OP for posting some photos to look at along with asking for help. shows people that you have been trying to do some homework

i saw the biggest flock i have ever seen in a burn in unit 27, 2 years ago. probably around 20 of the suckers all in a tree. i was shocked. it was probably a fluke

I think the kaibab is your best bet for them. I haven't really seen any huntable numbers any where else for years
