22 RIFLE DEER HUNT IN THE BOOKS..

Blue jeans, work boots, packing out whole. This reminds me of some great hunts I’ve been on. Nice work and great buck. It doesn’t take $800 in clothing and a $3k rifle to get the job done.

I have a 17 year old GSP that could be for sale at the right price. Doesn't run around like a wild man (too old to run away) , takes hand signals (he is deaf), stays on point on a bird or rabbit (has cataracts so he doesn't see them leave), doesn't bark at everything that moves (deaf and half blind), very calm (sleeps most of the time), good with other dogs and kids (again, sleeps all the time), not an ounce of fat on him. $16999.99

Coues deer hunting is my passion, love it! That's what I breathe. Located a shooter buck, disappeared in the thickness of the desert floor. While glassing for him for about 3 hrs. a BIG BUCK walked into my field of view. My heart skipped a beat! My eyes wide open and my jaw dropped to the floor, what a buck!! Looked for him frantically in the brush and mesquite packed desert floor.. just before dark I saw him again, waling behind some trees and then stopped on a opening to show me his majestic rack, wow! I immediately got up with the intention to grab my rifle and got into position for a shot; as I lifted my tripod to put them by my side some how my swaros got detach or disconnected and fell hard on the rock below me. It was a hard hit I knew that while I was aiming my rifle where I just saw the buck... the buck wasn't there anymore. I looked around that opening with my rifle scope and with my naked eye to see if I can see him again and shoot but nothing...looked again and then some more and notrhing. Immediately after I grabed my binoculars put them back on my tripod to find him again and guess what? they were broken!! My binos broke when fell onto the boulder below me! I could not see through them!! and somewhere below me therea was a huge buck! Looked for him with my naked eyes and through my rifle scope but with no success! 😩 Now I had no binos and it was only the 2nd day of my hunt. I was frustraded, devastated and traumatized...how I was going to look foor that giant on an area that is very thick full of brush and trees with no binoculars? To make a long story short, hunted for him for 4 more days never to see him or the other buck I originally saw before him. On the last day of my hunt I moved to a totally different area. Right at 7:00 am located this buck at 473 yards. I said to my self hey, last day, lets do it! One shot and this buck was mine! It was a long 3 hrs haul to my truck but a very happy camper 😋 Next year, Lord willing...I will go back and look for that big buck and with binos of course. P. S. Sucks to hunt with no swaros.

I guess we can replace citrus for Californians.

My first job out of college was studying the Sonoran Pronghorn on BMGR. Saw a lot of cool stuff out there! Watched an F16 crash while we were working, that was a trip. Having 18 illegals give up to us to call for help was also pretty wild. As far as the pronghorn, the drought in 2001 reduced the herd from around 200 animals down to around 20. They rounded them up, put them in a pen with no predators and watered it. They have made a pretty remarkable comeback since and have been released regularly and moved to other areas to create other populations like on Kofa NWR/YPG.

That's about the best "fallback" buck I've seen! ha ha. Sorry about the binos, but great job getting it done on a fantastic buck despite the difficulty. FWIW, if you ever spot a giant buck again and break your binos, feel free to call me up - I'm happy to help!

I haven't done it personally but I hear the streets of Chicago are the place to buy and sell guns. I use Gunbroker and CWT.

Real nice back up buck!!!

very nice - sorry about your binos- great buck after all

Nickle Palace. The 202 ended at priest. The 101 didn't exist. There used to be a mall at 59th and Northen. Criptown Mall. The old Shamrock sign and KNIX sign on I-17 Indoor Swapmart. Mr. Lucky's Maryvale had a mall and a hospital. Dove Hunting at Dysart Road and Thomas. Thomas was a dirt road out there. Phoenix Trap and Skeet club on Indian School. Target shooting at 67th ave & happy valley. Orange groves everywhere. 122* Day (1990) close enough. I am sure there are more.

Way to overcome adversity Ernesto! Great buck. Thanks for posting. Great lesson in being resilient and improvising, adapting, and overcoming. (Also, Let us know how your repair experience goes with Swarovski.)

Well after my good dog passed a few months ago I came out here and hunted without a dog and used my cousins dogs. That took a couple days and decided need another. Heading to eastern Kansas tomorrow to try a couple out and possibly bring home. Once you have good pointers you can’t be without one. Here’s a bad ace female they have for me to try out.

Nice Buck! Can't wait to see the pics of your monster buck next year! Way to stay with it.
