It seems like no matter what the circumstances of the hunt are, any time pictures of a huge buck get posted the thread ends up turning ugly. I love to see the pictures and hear the story of every single deer harvested, big or small. I really appreciate Brandon taking the time to share his story and pictures. What an amazing buck. I know a lot of guys kill big bucks and we never hear about it or see any pictures because of the negative remarks of others.

On a side note, my vortex tripod also suffered as part of my mishap and I sent them to Vortex along with sending the binos to Nikon on Tuesday around 1 PM. I've already got a tracking number from Vortex and my tripod will be back to me this coming Wednesday. Now that's some great customer service.

It won't be a lot, but you should be able to cut the steaks with a fork. My first buck was like that.

It was nice to meet you Vincent. I'm looking forward to putting the bow to work.

I've used Randy's Transmission in Mesa for a lot of work, including a transmission rebuild. He's always done great work for me and he is honest. http://www.randystransmissions.com

That would make a really cool desktop background on your computer.

I like it so far. I wish they would have done it sooner.

I have 3 boys ages 2 to 8. I can totally relate. This was one of my favorite posts in a long time. Thanks for sharing with us.

I love this post! Brag all day long. I think that it is great that he has the support of his parents for what he loves to do. I was a basketball nut in high school, but my dad didn't think there was any value in the summer camps. I never got to go to any of them. I played on an undefeated junior varsity team as a sophomore at Mountain View in Mesa. My junior year I missed the varsity team by two spots. That team finished ranked 7th in the country by USA Today. I now have 3 boys of my own and I will support them 100% in whatever they decide they want to do. My 8 year old is a sports nut and is really excelling at soccer. I've had people that played professional soccer tell me that he has all the tools to go as far as he wants with it. This wasn't a club guy trying to sell me a club team membership either. Going to my kids sporting events is tops on my list of things I like to do. Tell your son to keep up the hard work and that we're cheering for him.

Another vote for lion.

Excellent podcast. Lots of great information in there.

I'm pretty sure I've read all, or at least most of the comments on this thread. The one thought that keeps coming back to me is that your ex is probably super stoked for his tag and running into you hasn't even crossed his mind. A man's mind works totally different than a woman's. We don't worry about the same things. I'm sure he's daydreaming of arrowing a huge bull instead of passing the time wondering who he may or may not see during his hunt.

I'll bet his insurance on the truck would cover it, but he probably doesn't want to pay the deductible and have his rate go up. Just a bad deal all the way around.

I took my wife and kids(ages 1-9) up there last year and they loved it. We drove up in the morning and made a day trip out of it. It was very cool to meet other members there and see such an amazing collection of antlers.

Face to face wasn't an option in the poll. For the things you mentioned, shirts, raffle tickets, etc., I think online is the way to go. There are some things I would never buy unless it was face to face. Online is extremely convenient. I use Amazon a ton. Just a few buttons on my phone and I can have products at my house in a day or two.

I've been a member here since July of '05 and still haven't hit premier member?!? Less than 20 posts to go. I need to pick it up.

If I set out 15 traps in my backyard tonight I would have 15 feral cats in the morning, no joke. My neighbors feed them in the alley behind my house. Many times I have asked them to stop and they won't. This is right off of 32nd St and Thomas. That coyote can come hang out in my neighborhood for a while.

Can anyone tell me if the roads to the rim lakes are closed right now? I am looking to take some Boy Scouts camping in 2 or 3 weeks and I was wanting to go to any of the rim lakes. Thanks for your help.

What an awesome wall. Great bucks and very well done mounts.

I see your point, but at least run a play action and try to trick the defense. They didn't even do that. For the record, I'm glad Seattle lost. I would hate to see a division rival win it all on our home field.

What really sucks is now it counts as a claim against you and your rates are going to go up. My truck was stolen, then they joyrode in it then burned it. They're in jail but I took the hit on my insurance.

I also should add that cwt.com has the best price on the Alaska Guide bino pouch and I got mine very quickly after I ordered it.
