Can someone try it now and see if the problem is fixed? the map software has been upgraded and tech support says the issue was fixed with this upgrade....

Great video! Thanks for sharing your hunt with us!

Spot and stalk, awesome!

Sorry, I just saw your post asking about the women's javelin camp. here is a link to info: http://www.coueswhitetail.com/2013/08/2014-womens-javelina-hunting-camp/

Were you hunting from a blind, treestand or spot and stalk? How far was the shot?

and yes, it's always a good idea to let your family know what you want. That way they can pool together to get you some great gear (like yours did!). Most family and friends would rather go in together to get someone a great gift rather than everyone buying you something smaller that maybe you don't need. I bought my .270, but my shotgun and .22 and 30-30 are hand me downs, which I love! Oh and several forum members have won a lot of their gear at banquets or raffles or even in contests on this site.

I think maybe you are over generalizing and imagining the grass is greener for other people. Most people only scout on weekends and don't take time off from work to scout. They reserve their vacation time for the actual hunt. And most people don't have the best gear. We all make do with what we can afford. Personally, I find ways to save money by borrowing gear or sharing gear. For instance, I co-own an ATV with a rancher friend. He keeps the ATV at his ranch and uses it year-round except when I need it during a hunt. So I paid a fraction of the cost and get to use it when I need it and he funded most of the cost and uses it most of the year. And since my scope died, instead of buying a new one, I borrow one from my neighbor that he wasn't using. And sometimes I even borrow my hunting buddies rifle with a great scope on it for our hunt. The last two bucks I have killed were with his rifle. Some of my hunting buddies don't have range finders and so I loan them mine when they need it. The great gear that I do have (zeiss binos, swaro binos, zeiss spotting scope, .270 rifle, good tripod head, tripod, backpack, boots) are all gear that I have bought over two decades. When I started out I had crappy binos and no tripod and an open sighted 30-30.

Wow, that is so sad. Take comfort in the fact that you gave her a great life and she didn't suffer long at the end. She is very beautiful and she was blessed to be loved by you and your wife! RIP Harely....

It's a good point and I imagine it has a lot to do with the scheduling of all the other upcoming hunts in AZ. You might email AGFD and ask them why they schedule this hunt so early. It is obvious that buck had more growing to do, but it's also obvious that is one happy hunter and a great deer!! I must admit that when I saw the photo, I thought "wow, great deer" and then "oh, man, he still had more growing to do". But you don't have to hunt opening weekend either. Several guys just wait longer into the season to increase the odds that the deer they are after will be done growing.

Wow!!! that is a gorgeous deer!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Actually, Doug is taking a break from doing the contest this year. He has been running that contest for years and did a great job! But he needed a break from it. I will certainly miss Doug's expertise running this, but we are still having it! If anyone is interested in running it, let me know. I could use help.

AWESOME!! Congratulations to Joseph and thanks to Wild Heritage Taxidermy for posting it!
