Excellent, on both accounts...

Heck of a season...

Great buck...

LoL! I like it!

Great trip with a good friend to hunt with Steven...Single digit temps and a bout of food crud from Airport food meant a slower first day but in no time I was into my first Javi hunt...Both Matt and I doubled up and it was off to glass Muleys and prepare for the next day chasing Coues Bucks...Set in a great travel corridor the next morning and with teeth chattering it didn't take long before I saw my first Coues Deer of 2013. As the sun finally hit the drainage bottom more deer and a great buck showed up... Coming in to check on doe's in the area, a errant breeze sent everyone scattering...And with that the buck! After watching him walk into thick cover with several doe's I thought that'd be the last I saw of him...I short time later though, I caught movement of deer in the cover and could make out a doe followed by another deer. Then I saw the sun glint off antlers and knew he was still around. As doe's filtered back through the buck hung back and started to swing to my right and into a good shooting lane at 27 yards... Hitting this lane and already at draw I touched the relase when he hesitated...With the hit he turned and bolted out of sight, but I felt confident with the shot and it took all I had to wait 30 minutes...This time the teeth chattering wasn't from the cold! Finally making my way out of the blind and to the shot location I could see right away the results and glassing in the direction he ran I again caught sunlight on a antler, he was down within 30 yards...As I got closer he grew into more than I could ever expect! Symmetry, Mass and a 'Sticker' on a main frame eight (8) point...Stud, which later roughed out in the mid 90's... Be hard to top this one, least for me...I appreciate getting to come to AZ to chase this great lil deer and thanks to Steven and Brian for a great hunt!

Thanks Bill, 3X4 it is then...With the sticker! ;-)

Thank you...Great buck for sure and lucky I am!

Great job and way to stick with it...

Atta girl! Congrats...

Awesome, can't wait...Congrats!

Awesome job...One and a wake up and I'm in AZ....FOB's on there, you don't see many out West!

Wow, very unfortunate...I'm thinking being our neighbor is starting to rub off, as it sounds like something our commission would do!

Nice...

Try and rattle, throw in some grunts...

Been using it since it came out, couldn't agree more...

Yes, looks good....What'd he score, great buck?

Excellent...One day, it'll happen I just don't know when yet! Congrats!

Looks a lil chilly, congrats...

Those are great bucks, congrats!

Great buck, excellent follow-up!

Whoa...

Awesome....
