I killed this buck with my 4 year old son by my side during the opening morning of the general rifle hunt. We were late getting out of the cabin by about an hour but it all worked out. As we were working our way to our glassing spot we found this guy hanging out near the road. Having my son with me during this hunt was by far my best experience in the field.

Not much to write, other than I sat on my glassing nob this morning, wondering why I even came hunting with this nasty winter storm on top of me. Windy, cold, and rainy. About 20 min into glassing I heard rocks crashing underneath me and this buck was running around the nob looking for a doe 100 yards beneath me. I went down the hill and to my surprise the buck was still there coming out of the cut he had no idea I was even there and gave me a 40 yard shot.I made a great shot and he expired within 40 yards. Being in the right place at the right time was the truth this morning and luck was on my side. I have never had a buck run up on me like that when I am glassing but I guess anything is possible during the rut!

Man... its super slow in this place anymore, thought I would share a couple pic's from my recent endeavors. Hunted the late rifle and then stayed for the OTC archery. Killed a decent buck with the gun, rut was slow but we saw some great deer, watched a giant get killed, couple good one's gave us the slip. Archery hunt, the deer never really got going until the day before I left, saw a couple amazing bucks, just couldn't get it done. Had a great time with some buddies, also enjoyed a few days solo.

if the place is not burned up hunt the canyon across from Sunset point rest stop on I-17 go to power lines and start glassing they come out of the canyon and feed up on top in the tall grass and bed down in the canyon good luck.

Does it have interchangeable chokes?

Wife and I got lucky and arrowed two seconds apart. Both nice boars for Chorizo!

The Boys had a great day out Sunday. Only day we had with high school wrestling in full swing. First archery kill for one and second for another. First time I have every seen three taking on first stock, same herd and no blood trailing. All dropped insight. Middle pig is a hoss.

Congratulations on your rifle success and tagging that javelina! Sounds like a great time outdoors

Not a huge coues guy and haven’t been on the forum really in years but I used to love scrolling through everyone’s success back in the day so I figured I’d share mine. Got in tight to this buck thanks to a good buddy and made good on the opportunity.

Water has been running down washes and not been collected my entire life and nobody said anything. I know it crossed everyone’s mind. But now this week, after the storm I can’t open social media without being shown a video about how California is wasting water by not collecting rain runoff.

You want great service from knowledge staff with many different products, fast shipping, great sales and even a nice discount for being a member on a lot of different hunting forums, just tell them you’re a member and they will apply it……. Cameraland NY….is the place ! I’ve bought Swaro Binos, spotting scopes, rifle scopes, rangefinders, tripods, scope rings etc from them and have been satisfied with them all. I really don’t even shop around anymore I just call them or go to their site and order what I need. I guide for a living and spend many, many days and hours behind my glass and everything I’ve ever bought there is as good as it gets.

Way to go. Great way to piggy back tags too!!!

Congratulations on your buck and pig!

Nice work...the first picture with the hillside behind you is a great photo!

Good work out there ! Congrats on a nice buck and Javelina .

Time with buddies, and some solo hunting too. Good stuff!!!

I just picked up a couple 664s and been putting them up against the BTX 85 in the backyard the last 1.5 days. They're impressive spotters that together optically outperform the BTX. Headed down south in a couple of days so will really get to test them out then.

Did this scope ever come in? I'd love to hear what you think...

Congrats and good job. Eddie

My biggest question is why 300” that’s barely a 6x6. Set your goals higher

So after chasing mule deer in Dec/Jan archery my wife decided she wanted to try her luck on a desert mule deer during the general hunt. We’ve chased these deer only during archery and had decided to keep tabs through the years. We finally felt we had a solid plan so off we went. We got to her u it the afternoon before and set up camp then went out to glass. On our way to our glassing spot we came across a groups of 4 bucks hanging out in the area we were goi g to focus on. We got up early Opening morning and my wife and son got ready and headed to the area we had chosen to be at sunrise. I went to the glassing spot. At about 0611 I glasses up a group of 5 bucks, one of which was a definite shooter. Once they had formulated and approach everything just worked out perfect. I was bummed I couldn’t be with her when she shot but having just had hernia surgery a week earlier I was relegated to glass duty. 312 yard offhand shot with her 300WSM and the rest is history. Super proud of her!

Ya ,Me too. I love the history of this State. Even more so the history of hunting and animal stories.....BOB!
