GRONG Report post Posted August 22, 2005 I got this film developed last week and my jaw dropped when I saw these two nice bucks, especially the 2x4 buck! Oh man am I jonesing to get in my stand during the archery hunt. I've got my stand already in the middle pine tree. It might be a 10 yard shot to the salt lick. I sure hope they come by the stand while I'm sitting there. Knowing these two bucks are there will make the wait a little easier to handle while logging all those hours in stand. Enjoy the pics. I can't believe this buck came in for a real close look at the camera! His eyeguards have got to be 5". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Josh, great bucks!!! For all you 36b guys, I saw a buck of the same caliber as those in Josh's pics today off of Ruby rd towards Arivaca lake. We jumped him out of a pretty easy to hunt canyon. Steep, but short. Just a heads up! Saw 4 pairs of Mearns today too down in Sierra canyon too!!! I can't wait till Nov.!!!!!! Theres just something about those little boogers that I can't get enough of....I love em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azhuntnut Report post Posted August 22, 2005 They look like they have been eating pretty well. All the wildlife I have been seeing near Flagstaff are chunky. I even saw 23 turkeys on Saturday. I thought for a second I was on the res. Good luck on your hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Oh man that's what I needed to get my blood going! I messed my rest up, and the stores around here are sold out of the replacement until next week. I also have to go into my online class today for a weekly check in, I might toss my bow in the back of the truck and leave there to go fix this darn rest. It's been almost a week since I have last shot. Great photos, and they couldn't have come at a better time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

az4life Report post Posted August 22, 2005 Whooooo EEEEE Nice bucks Josh. You just gotta love game cameras. I wonder if anything else can keep your excitement at this level BEFORE the season opens! If you already have your stand in that Tree, I would say the phots confirm your research. Thanks for sharing the pics and good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
