It just doesn't get any better than that!!! 1st coues with a bow?!?!?! That's amazing. You two have been knocking 'em dead big time in the last year or so. I really enjoyed reading the story and seeing the pictures. Thanks for sharing your success story with us.

Congratulations!!!!

I don't know too much about the situation and how it all works, but I do know G&F puts a lot into working with land owners in certain areas so that hunters can have access. A lot of 36C would be unhuntable if this were not the case. The best we can do in these situations is follow the rules and be good representatives of the hunting community so that land owners will continue to allow us onto and across their property. Unfortunately it only takes 1 person breaking the rules to make us look bad.

No need to apologize that it isn't a "monster." I would be thrilled to take any coues buck with a bow and am very much looking forward to the day it happens. Conratulations to ya. The picture with your son is great. I love how he seems so interested and is even holding onto the antler.

Just don't forget to turn the sound off

I still have my Ping G5 golf clubs up for sale. Golf season is right around the corner. I have over $1500 invested in them. I will let them go for $600. Do what I should have done and buy a good used set instead of dropping so much cash on new clubs. They are great clubs. Includes driver, 3 wood, 3-pw, G5 putter and stand bag. If you want anymore specifics pm me. Daryl 480-458-7263

My dad emailed me pictures from his latest fishing trip. Three flatheads totaling 94 pounds. They were 38, 37 and 19 pounds. The ruler in between the two big fish is 18 inches long. Funny how the 19 pounder looks tiny. He kept one of the bigguns and the small one. Good eatin.

How does a person keep their composure when a buck like that shows up??? That buck is soooo cool looking. Two words come to mind.....BEAST and unique. Very cool video. Congrats to ya.

I like the story but you're killing me. I won't be able to get back on for a while. There better be some pics when I get back

It's too bad that every time a world class animal is harvested that some people just can't help but sling mud A huge congrats to the hunter and the Mullins Team.

Clay, Curtis the rig welder told me to say "hi" to you. He lives across the street from me and we BS about hunting all the time. Anyways, he brought up something about "a guy he knows who is the manager at US Airweld in Miami" or something to that effect and I figured it was you. I told him about your buck and showed him the pictures you posted. He told me to tell you congrats. He had only good things to say about you.

That looks like an amazing trip!!! I really need to go to Alaska. I also have to give the Toro shout out, class of '99.

Gino, they have come out all right for us as long as they are cut up fresh and cooked right away. Delicious. He normally keeps the 10-15 lb fish for eatin though. Amanda, he was there by himself and forgot the net. He said it was quite the adventure getting them in the boat. Here is a cell phone pic I took Saturday. This is as close as I could get my little girl to stand, and only after I convinced her it was dead . She only weighs 3 more lbs than this fish.

Very cool!!!! Way to fill that archery tag.

That is AWESOME!!! Congrats.

That is very cool! It seems like the last year or so has been very good to you. Congrats on a great looking bobcat.

He may not even know that your blind is there. I would try to get there super early.

I was scouting for a November hunt in 36A with my dad 2 years ago and I found a body, right off the Batamote road about 7-8 miles from Arivaca road. I would guess it was about 2 weeks old. I never got closer than about 40-50 feet once I knew what it was. It looked about like what a hot dog looks like when you forget to take it off the grill and it cooks for an hour. I called the Pima county sheriff's office and gave them the GPS coordinates. The Sheriff's Deputy called me that evening and said they found the body and that it looked like a UDA that got dehydrated and died. He gave me the case number. I called a few months later asking about the case and they said it was "classified" and that I would have to request a copy of the report in person. I can still see the image in my mind to this day. I hope I never find anything like that again.

The link is not working for me.

Unfortunately it is starting to look like what Sycamore has turned into. I went into that area to shoot this morning for the first time in about a year and couldn't believe how bad it has gotten. I can't believe people think it's okay to take trash somewhere, shoot it up and then leave it.

I wonder how many people checked their join date after reading this post. I'm going to check mine right now

Dennis- Didn't you draw a 22 late tag??? If so then that might be a factor for you or most people to consider passing on this buck. Me personally, If I had that guy in bow range I would eat that late tag. Good luck with your hunts.

That's a wall to be proud of Mike, not to mention that most of it was done with archery gear. The mounts look great. I hope to have a wall like that in my house someday.

This topic comes up a few times every year. Most people, myself included, will tell you to carry a sidearm, don't go alone, and use common sense. I have hunted a lot down there mostly in 36B and most years I don't see any illegals and I have never had any problems. Having said that, I don't think I will take my kids down there until after they have a few years of hunting under their belt.
