Thanks Stan!

Thanks so much Amanda and Shelvin! Man where does the time go?! Enjoyed the day, not it the elk woods like I usually do, but I ate very well nonetheless!

Congratulations again Ernesto! Always a pleasure to share camp with you. I thoroughly enjoy your positivity and constant laughter. It comes in handy when the hunting gets tough. As we experienced these last few days, finding big bucks was challenging. I can’t count how many times we stalked bucks to get a closer look, only to pass and keep on hunting. It was fun the entire time and I wish we were still out there. Great 615 yard shot on a beautiful buck! It was rewarding to witness and thank you again for the invite. I second the shout out to cramerhunts, Keith Goyen, and Jimmy Parker. Their insight in this unit is on par with the best of them. Thanks again for keeping our spirits up and assisting us day after day.

Andrew! …Congratulations to you and Hunter! What a story. Hats off to Eddie and OE4A… especially that dapper gentleman and all around stud Ty! (He is a killer) I am so happy you got to live the experience you did, you deserve it.

Wow! What a buck! Congratulations BIG TIME! Way to get it done the hard way!

Stud Buck. Congratulations!

Congratulations on a successful hunt to both you and your daughter. Fantastic write up, I read every word and enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks so much for taking me back to when there were pages of stories like this on the forum. Congrats again

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!! Enjoy your day and enjoy your Special Split Pea Soup!

Thanks so much Keven and Amanda! AMAZING how time flies. Appreciate every minute. Enjoy your friends and loved ones. I enjoyed Saturday morning brunch with a Bloody Mary bar at Hash Kitchen! The day has juuuuust begun! 🤩

TOTALLY worth the cost. Nothing is worse than a bad mount done by someone not very familiar with delicate coues deer characteristics. Don't ask me how I know. I've had one redone, it cost me more money in the long run than shipping would in this circumstance. It sounds like this is a one time shot for you hunting coues. (?) Not worth blemishing the experience with a bad mount. Have I said how much I hate bad taxidermy?

For sale is my trusty Outdoorsmans Optics Hunter Pack in Max 1.You all recognize this pack so I won’t go into the details and specs. Wear is as expected for a heavily used hunting pack but as with all of my gear, has been well taken care of. Stored indoors during the off-season, never in a hot garage or camper trailer. All zippers, straps, buckles, etc. work as they should. I can easily answer any questions regarding this pack and am happy to send you additional photos. I have attached pictures below to show the condition of the pack as best as possible. I did not take photos of the inside, but rest assured it is in better condition than the exterior. I absolutely love this pack and its weight handling capability. Being able to use the frame without the bag and pack out heavy loads is ingenious. What I find the most practical are the two long compartments on either side where I store my tripod and sitting stool. The pack is designed very well with pockets intuitively placed. I regularly open/close and easily navigate through the pack in complete darkness. The only reason I am selling is because I am replacing it with a K² 3500 Backpack. Prefer to sell local and not ship. Located in Mesa but do travel quite regularly in SE AZ. (Casa Grande, Oracle, Tucson, Green Valley, Sierra Vista) Thank you for your interest, $275 takes it.

In this circumstance, you are probably right Casey! Although he normally comes out way heavier than all of us!

Here is a photo of my buddy cramerhunts wearing his without the bag attached. This was on our final pack out with me using the Outdoorsmans pack loaded heavy. I just wanted a reason to post another photo of the bull we killed.

Legit! Your picture is killing me as I'm STARVING and this looks soooo delicious!

You go! Loved how much you stuck with it and kept researching and ultimately gained success! Big time congratulations! Like others have said, your Dad must be very proud.

Bill was a gentleman and class act. Not many men could fulfill a life with adventure as well as he. May his legacy live on. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

One of the best hunters I have ever met. Boulanger sets the standard to strive for in being a genuine, generous, humble human being. Its terrible news to hear what he has been fighting. I will contribute for sure.

If you don't mind me asking, who did you buy through? I'll be in the market soon.

Happy belated! I always enjoy reading your posts and seeing your successes. Hope you continue with a great BDay weekend and EAT GOOD!

I find myself waiting to read Joshs response in seeing your Mexico buck from this season!!

HUGE congrats again Keven! Beautiful buck you found in Mexico! I bet Justo was happy for you guys as well

Sounds AWESOME! I love Vietnamese Pho.
