Pretty cool. Amazing what game you see you there just off the roads.

Outstanding. Congrats guys!

Great rack as always!

Congrats! Details of how it all went down?

Congrats to all of you. This is a great time of year to be out enjoying the desert. Good luck to you with your archery gear.

Crazy gnarly buck. Cool find. Looks like a coral from a reef.

Its been a heck of a season for you guys! Congratulations on two fine bulls!

Please do! It was great meeting him up there and he tagged a stud of a buck. I know he took some awesome pictures too. Bryce is "IdahoBugler" on many forums and Stan was up there helping him out at the beginning of the hunt. I was fortunate enough to meet up with Bryce and his Dad later on. Unfortunately after Stan had left.

Nice 5. Congrats!

Great two pointer! Okay, 2x"3". Congratulations!

Congrats to your boy. That sure is one heck of a bull.

Congrats! I don't know why but I just love the pic of the upside down cat! Big paws on that kitty.

Congrats on the success! I am sorry to hear about your Grandma. You have done her proud I'm sure.

Congrats to your boy!

Congrats Sid! The video really puts the great buck in perspective! He must be the coolest kid at school right now!

Congrats on a very fine first mule deer. At the rate you're going, you'll draw the tag in a few years and tag a monster! Nice to hear you got to share the hunt with Dad.

Allen mentioned our two tent mates Lynton and Bill. Well, Lynton has been a client of Duwanes on a couple hunts so far. Bill, on the other hand, was a first timer, and as luck would have it, he scored big time. He gave me permission to post pics of his stud buck. His main beam curves downward on one side. Bill's very well deserved gagger... All three of our bucks. Taken on the same day. Congratulations again Bill. It's going to be tough to top that one!

That looks like a lot of fun! I bet the dogs really enjoy it too.

Nice buck! I "think' I could fathom sitting a tree stand if my hunt would go as great as yours. Congrats!

It was great hunting up there with you Don! Good luck with your clients on the late coues hunt! Ha Ha! Just so everyone is up to speed, Don and I were driving down an icy dirt road. You know the type, slip and slide, no braking whatsoever, drop off to one side. Well, I hit a blind corner that just so happens to also be a crest of a hill. Keep in mind, I'm driving pretty slow, considering the road conditions. i top the ridge only to find a PICK-UP STOPPED ON THE ROAD!! What they were doing there, who knows but I had to act fast! Thankful to prior experiences in years past, I scanned my surroundings to come up with a plan "B." Plan "A" was to hit the truck head on, and that wasn't going to fly. I sliiiiide and point my rig towards the drop off. Once I am perpendicular on the road, with the nose of my truck pointed towards the DOWN side of the ravine, I gas it. We come to a complete stop. I engage the rear locker and drive down and out. The crazy part is, the guys in the truck didn't even roll down a window to see if we were okay! It all happened so fast, I didn't even have time to get nervous. from now on, that corner is called "Chef's Hill" by Duwanes' camp. *Also....Did I tell you guys that one night Allen shows up to camp, late at night, without his pack?! yup, two pair of Swarovski binoculars and his Kaibab tag in it! Hopefully he'll chime in and finish the story. Thanks for all the kind words as well my friends. I and Allen really enjoyed our time up there. I spoke with him today and we both hope we did a good job of relaying our adventure to you all here. .

Congrats on your first bull! The hard part IS drawing the tag!

I met Cole from CMC Skull Works the other day. Gave him a skull to get done. Super nice guy and seems easy to work with. He gave me some insight into his beetle business and it's unbelievable what all goes into maintaining the happy little critters. He seems to be about three months out at the moment and requires half the $ down when you drop off your project. I can't wait to see the end result. thanks again for the support Cole!

Doug, I didn't put a tape to him. When we first saw him across the canyon, and as the frontal pic shows him, he looks HUGE and WIDE. The buck was small! As in kind of a dwarf deer! His skull was small in comparison to the other deer in camp and his ear spread was narrow. If I was to see him again, I wouldn't hesitate to drop him. He just had "the look" and no regrets. I'd measure the G2 but I've dropped him off with Cole at Skull Works (another one of our sponsors) for a beetle cleaning. I'm going to have the skull metalized in copper when he's done with it.

Mmmmmmmm!

Gotta get the rifle in one of em! Shot 140 grain Accubonds at 3030 fps. First blood with this rig and I am very satisfied. Thanks to Doug (Red Rabbit) for turning me onto the .280 Ackley Improved and Cooper rifles!
