Sweet bucks. Congrats

Awesome buck. Congrats

Took my cousin from North Dakota up to hunt over the weekend. Saturday evening we sat high on a cliff to glass. An hour into glassing a nice black bear pops up in the grassy bottom 100yrds. Running like he stole something. 45minutes later we glass up two nice coues bucks in the same area the bear just ran out of. Rain stopped. Sun showed. Like clock work the bucks pop up to feed for the evening. My cousin plans a nice stalk. Winds in our favor. Bucks are facing the opposite direction slowly feeding. Basically the stars aligned. Hes gettin geared up to stalk and a man and his wife pop out of the bush behind us. They are startled. They set up 30 yrds from us. I whistle the guy over telling him we r about to put a stalk on. He says his boy is gunna start working down the ridge and he doenst want any issues.(from the direction the deer r looking). I asked him about the bear...he had no idea. Meaning they weren't there very long. After I told him we had been there for hours waiting out the rain and bedded bucks which were bedded looking in our direction. He still proceeded to send his son down. GUIDING HIM TO THE BUCKS ON TWO WAY RADIOS(which is illegal. Isnt it?). his son blew the stalk from over 500 yrds. Bucks split the opposite direction his son was coming from. I look over to the guy and he just throws his hands up and shrugs to us like, o well... Now normally I would have been really heated and spoke up. But he had his wife with him. And I didn't wanna leave my cuz w a bad taste for public land hunting in AZ. Is this just a case of public land, name of the game hunting? Or an ethics issue? Or am I just being a crybaby? Look forward to hearing some other opinions.

Thanks for your opinions. We felt we made the wise decision to sit and watch the show. And by not confronting the man. What guy in the woods doesn't carry a weapon in the field? And with ur wife who wouldnt react aggressive and over protective if two guys came to give u crap about your bonehead move?. Bummer situation but I feel blessed to even be out enjoying mother earth. We watched two falcons dogfighting and locking talons. A golden eagle screaming at em and chased em off. A nice black bear. A 5x bull & a few spikes. 9 turkeys all in that same evening. And got to spend time with my grandfather and cousin. Just wish the steaks we grilled up that night were grass fed, free ranging coues tenderloin instead of corn fed chuck steaks. The leaner meat seems to make ice cold brews go down smoother and more plentiful

Here is the bigger of the two bucks

Nice bucks. Sweeter hair do!

Looks like that first buck wants to score some 3pointers. He's a slam dunk for sure

My buddy shot a hybrid last year across the wagoner road(20c side) up in the moumtains. I've only seen mulies in 20a. Some nice ones too

Just picked up a pair of vortex talon hd 10x42 from ross outdoors. Very nice optic. Very happy w my purchase. The guys at ross are top notch. They are right in your price range

That hunt it awesome. My buddies drew this tag 2years in a row. Last year we hunted the biggest bull ive ever seen alive. He was 400" easy. Had our opportunity blown by 6 guys piled up in a rhino/ranger driving off road listening for bugles. Starting and stopping the engine. They were 100yrds from the bull n they had no idea he was there. One of the best elk hunts ive ever been on non the less!

The elk get bumped a lot w all the pressure from the prior hunts up there. We hunted up top last year and tagged a spike. All the elk we saw were on the move. Bigger bulls seem to recluse in canyons and thick nasty terrain. Id glass the lower elevations and transition areas for a bigger bull. BE PREPARED for SNOW! Goodluck. Ill be up there for that hunt.

Nice 5 window chevy!
