Coach no wonder it dropped in its tracks! Nice job on the skull.

Awesome shot coach. I love it when they drop in thier tracks! Go ahead and add the pics. I would love to see them!

I had a blast! I love bowhunting these critters!

I love my PSE bow!

Awesome buck! I'm thinking 160 to 165?

I have been using a Scott Shark the past year. Excellent release in My opinion.

No turkey for me! Looks like I'm gonna get a leftover archery javelina tag.

All three of my kids went through the course. My youngest took it on line in 2008. We drove a hour and a half to the nearest field day(we were desperate his hunt was a week away). Then a week later we drove 6 hours to the north kaibab for his first deer hunt! It was worth it to see my son shoot his first deer! I would of drove half way across the state to get his hunter education Card to experience that.

Thanks to everyone for the replies and pm's! Went up today with my pastor kinda rough day. Lots of rain and even snow up higher! We spent the day scouting out the areas I received from this awesome site. I had to come back this evening because of work. But he has a promising spot picked out for the morning. Hopefully with better weather some better luck!

My Pastor and also a good hunting buddy. Yes I am blessed to have a pastor that loves to hunt! Anyway he just got back from two days of hunting and saw only does. Said he ran into a lot of private property. He hunted near peeples valley. He is going back up Monday. I'm thinking of going with him to help him out but I don't know this unit. If anyone is familiar with 20c. Any info is appreciated. He is not afraid to hike. Thanks

My most famous miss happened in 1992. The year I was gonna be trophy mule deer hunter! I had a few bucks under my belt already. A couple spikes and a nice 4x4. Having shot a spike the previous deer season I told my brother and cousin who were hunting with me I was shooting only a big buck! True to my word on opening morning I had a spike broadside at 25 yards. I was a trophy hunter so I let him walk. Later that day there he was a monster mule deer at 150 yards! I was so excited. Too excited! Buck fever gotta hold of me! I fired at the big old boy but didn't even come close I think my shot landed on the moon! He ran off unharmed and I quit being a trophy hunter!

That is a Unit 8 buck. They are there but harder to find than the Mule deer!

First want to thank a fellow Coueswhitetail member for sharing info and pointing us in the right direction! Thanks Dug! My two sons 15yr old Austin and 16yr old BJ had drawn tags. The hunt began with snow flurries and very cold! We still managed to spot a nice fork and a 3x3, but with no Shots fired! Opening day ended with my Youngest son Austin missing a nice Fork! On Saturday my 16 year old BJ missed the same forkhorn twice, and began to get a bit discouraged! Then on Sunday morning my 16 yr old son decided to hunt with a friend Steve and his son who had a tag and had tagged out on a small buck Saturday evening! Sunday morning began uneventful, My 16 yr old BJ filled me in on his morning hunt and how he had missed a spike at a mere 80 yards! He was sounding very discouraged now! I shared my misses and success stories with him, hoping to encourage him! Anyhow to make a long story short, My Son and My friend and awesome hunting buddy Steve, decided to return to the area where he missed the spike and try and get him! Well off a long lonely old logging road, my son spotted a buck at about 2:20pm walking across a clearing that was only about 150 yards wide and had thick pines on each side. My son tried to get a good rest, as Steve told him calm down and take your time! My Son said he was trying to control buck fever, but couldn't stop his cross hairs from moving up and down so he tried to time his shot when his crosshairs were on the sweet spot! "Boom" The buck drops in his tracks!!! He made a 168 yard shot! On a beautiful 4x4! While all this is going on I'm driving back to camp with my 15 year old son Austin, doing about 60 down the highway, when I recieved a Text from Steve with a Photo of my Son and his Buck, I about drove off the road with excitement!!! I asked my Son later if he was glad he missed the smaller bucks and he said Yes!!! The hunt ended Monday evening with my Austin missing a Nice 3x3 at about 200 yards! My Son's Buck! Skinned and Ready for the Taxidermist! This is the Photo I recieved in the text while driving!

Awesome Buck and great shot!

Thanks for the comments! We had a great hunt saw lots of deer. My son has a new outlook on hunting, he says he can't shoot spikes or forkhorns(I agree after his misses ). He now wants big bucks only ! I cant wait to put his will power to the test next deer season when a nice fat forkhorn stops broadside @ 50 yards! I bet he shoots !

Pine donkey. Dropped it off at mount n view taxidermy. In flagstaff on Monday. $500.00 for shoulder mount. We got a $100.00 junior hunt first mount discount.

My son tagged out at 230pm today a big 4x4. Still hunting With my other son. I will add story and pics later.

Another vote for Casey's! I take all my deer there! Dropped my son's off on Saturday!

Ok I admit it! I'm a Archery Addict! I need to attend some AA Meetings (Archers Anonymous)!!! I have been going out bowhunting rabbits at least once a week! Basspro, Cabelas, Pse pro shop,etc... anywhere that has archery gear it's like a magnet...I'm like a moth attracted to the flame .....oh well you get the point! Anyway heres some photos of a few of the rabbits I've taken! Shots ranged from 25 to 60 yards!

Awesome!

My two boys have the junior hunt in 7 next week. We will be heading up next thursday. We have scouted a few areas with limited success, mostly does and 1 3x3. Looking for any tips, advice, etc.. And yes I do want your honey holes! After all these are my boys! Any help is appreciated. Advice on a good campsite would be welcome as I have limited experience in 7. Thanks in advance!
