X2! ...& I just want to add...you know you're in the right camp when the "small" buck is in the 130"s! +1!!!

His friend killed a giant too, but I cropped out most of it, since I don't know if he wants his pic posted.....

Awesome, Congratulations!

I have the pics, so if he says yes, I can post.

Does Chip mind if you post the other pics that show the view of the buck from the top, those are pretty cool pics?

WOW! Thanks for getting permission. Congratulations to the hunter! Let's hope he shares the story with us.

wow, makes me glad I live in Globe!

or just make a new post in the same thread with the new information.....but editing the original post is probably the best option.

Woo-hoo!!! Congratulations to your family!! How cool is that to have mom, dad and the kids there while she takes her first deer!! WOW!!

Great story!! Congratulations!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

yes, it's an amazing deer. Josh is working on getting permission to post.

Cool, thanks for posting!

Hope you are out racing somewhere today!!

You could try calling the USFS office in Tucson and see if they have some recommendations. It seems to me mt lemmon is a tough place to hunt due to all the trails and hikers and cabins up there. But I know the USFS biologist Josh Taiz had wanted to reduce the Abert's squirrel population up there in the hopes that it would help the grey squirrel population increase.

Wow, that's some serious shooting....what setup were you using? And you are right, that's a great background on the 2nd buck pic!

Awesome!! I enjoyed both your stories! I did a quick bivy overnight during my hunt this year and use a bivy sack when I know the weather will be stable. I have a small two person backpack tent for rougher weather.

That's cool!! did you stalk him?

I checked and mine is the 1HP.....it's probably more power than I need, but I love using it. It's pretty heavy but it does great work. You could probably get away with a smaller one.

Pretty cool!! Maybe you have an artist friend who can paint a scene on the top of the skull? would be neat!

That will be SWEEET!!

Odd looking deer for sure....I haven't seen anything like those.

Congratulations!! Personally, I like when people experiment with different photo setups....These look great, thanks for your hardwork setting them up!! Makes for more interesting looking pics.

Love it!! thx for the pic!! Brings back some memories for me!!

I have one and love it!! I don't remember what the HP is on the one I bought....I will look it up tmrw
