It is my turn this year. My wife got a turned in antelope tag last year and I just got a turned in archery bull tag. I am super happy right now. Went from bummed about no elk again to game time in a hurry.

I kind of agree with the post but not totally, I bet most of us would have a good argument with who you might think was the worst attitude on here if you were in person by a fire and move on to go hunt or fish. One thing that’s a bummer to see on all media platforms is what people click on, I pay close attention and make sure I never click on silly human content. Example, YouTube video of a young man making a knife from raw metal with some serious craftsmanship gets 5,000 views. Now some chick in a bikini shows her bum and 1.2 million views. I refuse to click and make it a point to find creative folks to support and ignore the typical click bait crap. Same kind of goes here on this sight , a good hunt post gets 5 comment and a few likes and Then some stupid drama with really bad content post has 20 pages of complete nonsense. People are going to be people and fill their brains with nothing productive. What gets missed in the mix is the silent majority of great lurkers and posters here.

So about a month ago I posted a picture of a buck that I knew was going to be something special. For one reason or another I had some nay sayers say that it would score 135”😂😂😂 Another person had the audacity to say “why I posted a picture of nice buck and ask the score if I already knew what it would score”??😆 Really now? Crazy how inept some people really are... Then to top it off they post pictures of deers killed over 35 years old in the kaibab😂 You keep tootin your horn homie😆 But nontheless I only care about True Desert Southern Arizona Mule deer bucks. It truely is something special when a person kills a DIY 180” Southern Arizona Archery Desert Mule Deer. After countless stalks and days of hunting this monarch I managed to close the distance to 39 yards and shot this bad boy in the jugular! Finished him off with a shot in the boiler room. Buck has 6” bases and all mass measurements are 5 inches+🤙🏽 Good luck to all you hunters I hope y’all get some good ones. And to you nay sayers just picture me rollin🤙🏽😎😂🦌🤘🏽#GodIsGreat #MuleDeerPutasos #BigBuckDown #180+Club

Is just me, but it seems that this site has inherited some real **CKS. I really like this site a lot of great people and some that just makes it not so great anymore! Just my .02 cents •

I love this forum and have met some great guys I'm humbled to call friends. That being said, there's a handful of posters that make me cringe each time I see their Avatar pop up. I ignore them, take the good with the bad. It's a lot like channel surfing. I see a Biden commercial appear and I move on or just turn the medium off after some jaw clinched grumbling under my breath. Normally I'd be hitting the trails and listening for bugles about now. But after surviving the hottest recorded summer in the valley, my ol lady had a bad accident and I'm homebound with my domestic duties doubled maybe tripled. If you can get out there, enjoy and revel in your freedom in our great outdoors. But don't forget to take pics and notes and share your experiences with us less fortunate souls.

I'm sure that the reference to the 35 year old Kaibab pics was a reference to my response to scoring of the Buck by the first pics. Sometimes hard to Judge score by pics. Didn't mean to upset anyone. Great Desert Mulie or any Mulie for that matter. I always have followed Mike Eastmans way of Field Judging. Deep forks front and deep backs to get to that 180 range. I really didn't see that from the pics. Sorry again, great Buck.

Excellent buck. Poor delivery.

Pics please, especially the chic. 😷

Most forums end up getting dominated by a few **cks and then people begin leaving. Look what happened to monstermuleys.com. I don't think it has very much to do with fragile egos. Most people just don't like to be around jerks. So they leave.

Nice buck...in your post you said you hope he hits 160” when he finishes and hop on here to insult people that gave their honest opinion just like you did? lol...I’d rather see someone post a humble spike than an @sshole with “180”...

I'm guessing like high 160s on score. Good Job.

How does a jugular shot buck need a follow up?

Nice buck. You sound like a really nice and humble guy as well.

Not my cup of tea for a hunt, sharing one tag with 30 other people. But, the dollars will help the elk, so sacrifice one for the betterment of the many.

I was just in your hood too

to what you said, over the years on forums especially in AZ it typically happens in the latter parts of the summer. used to happen on azbz also and always towards this time of the year. now you throw in the covid crap and the riot crap and then the political crap all over the news and peoples attitudes change. forums up in the northern part of the us have the same problem when everything is frozen late winter. its a yearly happens here every year as well, theres been posts about it for the last 2-3 years.

This section is called “The Campfire”. A lot of these threads are actually topics that would be discussed at deer camp around the fire. Heck, just read the description of the forum: “Gather round the campfire and let's see where the discussion goes.” I don’t want to sound like a **CK but are you new to the internet?? lol. It has always been, and always will be like this. Personally, I have to walk on eggshells enough in my normal day to day life. I am not walking on eggshells on the forums. Just my .02. I don’t get triggered or take stuff personally on here.

He was dying on the ground but suffering so I put one through his heart and killed him faster. Did the ethical thing!

since we are guessing, I'll say 164" but with that said, that's a good desert buck!

I'd pat you on the back but looks like you got that covered. Nice deer
