To be honest, this makes me wish AZGFD would ban trail cams.

Dove Tacos for dinner tonight. 1. Marinate dove breast in Italian dressing for one day. 2. Drain Italian dressing, dice dove breast, and marinate in lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper, and garlic for two days. 3. Cook on grill or frying pan and serve with your favorite taco garnishments. Enjoy!!!

Saturday crunch time. I decide to go back to dellenbaugh from parashant and go after matrix again. My plans get altered when I see this guy feeding 100 yards off the road. (im having to trim the pics so the can fit, Quality defiantly isnt as good) They bounce left and then right. I trail and get to 70 yards the bounce across the field and I watch them settle down in some pines. I do an epic stock and spend an hour within 65 yards waiting. the two crappy little bucks get to 50 yards and go back. the wind is starting to get unstable. A yellow jacket lands on my glasses and various parts of my body. it eventually bites my left calve. I cry without making a noise. then a honey bee lands on me (i am moderately alergic) it drinks the tears from my eye and I believe her or his friend stings me through my right sock. I am more determined than ever. the stupid little guys are 90 degrees to my right, the big guy is straight ahead. The wind shifts and they bolt. I yell a bad word that would be edited if I wrote it. I go after Matrix again and the bee sting kicks in and I fall asleep for a bit. Saturday evening I go back to california's spot and have a 180 class buck at 61 yards and decide that I still have time to find a big buck.

Last Day! My vacation is burnt (and so am I) I havent had a shower in ten days, ran out of wipes four days ago and underwear three days ago. Including my Bison hunt I have spent 43 days north of the canyon this year and honestly am a little tired of hunting. That being said I am still committed to taking a buck that takes my breath away when I see it. I have taken very good animals throughout the state and am committed to that next level. I go to the the Supped up Geo Trackers spot and nothing. I go through the fields with the typicals and I see nothing. the guy that was camped there flagged me down and lets me know he hit one of the typicals in the hind leg and broke it. I help him look a bit, wish him well, I have a game plan I am going to glass some spots on my way back to black rock, hunt the top in the middle of the day, go to the pretty bucks area at sulivan in the evening and head out at dark. driving the 8 hours to my house after legal shooting lite. I drive a bit down the road and see these guys putting on a show a twenty yards away. I start heading towards black rock and try to glass where one of the professionals was set up earlier in the hunt. the wind is rocking and I cant keep my tripod still so I go directly to black rock. I am the only one on the mountain and I head to where I think their bedding area is (between the tower and the house) I get about half way and I spot a dink buck looking at me, then I see the big 3. I figure last day, he will work. I take these pictures at 76 yards and with my past history with him I feel I can get closer. I get to 65 yards... conclusion on the next post. this one is getting cluttered.

Ok per Delw request, I'll holdout till thursday so everybody can keep there mind on elk.

Here's the culprit!

too bad it didnt sterilize his dumb arse.

I meant because your photos were all sideways....fixed it for you. Again, awesome goat. Glad to help you out anytime.

This one just came into the yard. Had two little velvet spikes. Left of Palo Verde.

Had a great hunt in Unit 31/32. Saw several nice bucks. Had #1 slip us and could not locate him. Passed on several bucks trying to relocate him. Saturday located this buck chasing a doe and keeping a smaller buck away. I would like to thank Steven Ward, Jeff and Colton Wheeler, and Joe Madril for being a great team. Also like to thank Lance Kenyon for helping me setup my new Christensen Arms Ridgeline 6.5 CM with Leupold VX3i 6.5x20 LRP.

Son got it done opening morning on a nice lope with great cutters.

Wife said it was hard to see as he had the shrivel factor going on pretty good, I was laughing so hard I almost ended up off the road in the snow. shes yelling stop stop

I did

That was a warning from the Cartels to other Ilegals You don't cross without takeing a load of pot for us...........BOB!

yep. the major theme of parashant.

What about "the rest of the story"??????

ok, nearly caught up with my 300 emails for the week I was gone from work. Im keeping it sequential. think of my last post as a Quinten Taratino movie where its not in order. Wednesday I go after the boss buck and sit in his bedding area for the day. I find these guys in my first moments of glassing My view for breakfast I get to the top and get pinned by this guy at 25 yards. Fortunately hes solo and doesnt care about me very much. I stay in the bedding area most of the day and the boss doesnt show up. I was working my way to the edge when another (or the same) sleeping buck is at 30 yards or so. The evening I drive around a bit on black rock and decide I want to go after Matrix. I head out and get about half way and guess what, I get another flat. this one with side wall damage. I spend the night on the side of the road and head back to see my new friend at Southern tire in St george. I learn that when they grade hwy 5 (big piece of dirt road it sharpens the rocks and the reason for the flats) They hook me up with a deal and I get back to dellenbaugh during a torrential downpour. I wait it out. I get to this one little field and I have a giant 4point at 40 yards from my truck. I get out and he saunters off. The evening ends with me taking this pic. note the rainbow. I sleep at the turnoff to parashant and dellenbaugh that night. Trying to figure which way I am going to go.

did someone say something about a cat and a grassy knoll conspiracy????

I can’t believe these haven’t sold. Best bang for your buck here. Bump for a great deal

Young road north of young. Found his dog and car. His girlfriend is still missing also. Do ya think she picked him up?

Remember the scumbag that killed his family and blew up his house in Scottsdale? Robert Fisher .....lStill out there. They don’t always catch them.
