Great job! Beautiful buck and I enjoyed your write up!!

Here is the video! Trent did a great job filming the shot with his phone through his 20x binos. Near the end you can see the buck leap over a boulder and an oak bush before he piles up behind the oak. Seeing how torn up that buck was inside, we were all amazed he went that far and was able to run and leap. I edited it and did it full speed one time, then slow motion and zoomed in. Video loses quality when zoomed in and slowed down but you can still see the shot and see his front left leg is hanging and he is not able to use it after the shot. The buck was quartered toward Scott and so he placed the shot perfectly through the front left shoulder and it travelled perfectly through the vitals and out behind the front right leg. It doesn't get any better than that. This was an absolute dream hunt! Beautiful weather, great friends, gorgeous country, lots of great coues bucks and a dramatic finish to the last day!

I have never seen something like this before....have you guys? what is that machine called? To see what I am talking about, check out the video starting around the 1 minute mark

I am guessing they are called Flyboards?? here is another video:

Congratulations on a successful hunt!

wow, great first day! Looking forward to your success!

That's great sportsmanship truword!!

elkfearme88....that's too funny!

That is a replica of a pickup head found by Danny Pusher, Jr last Spring. It was posted back when he found it. here is a link to more info about it in the White Mountain Apache Photogallery on CouesWhitetail.com http://www.coueswhitetail.com/2012/09/danny-pusher-jr-april-2012-wmat-pickup/

Sounds like you did what you could and hopefully buying it from him in a public place will pay off in the end. I am glad you got your item back, even though you had to buy it back.....

nice tribute.....

I love wilderness hunts! Great bucks and lots of adventure and excellent photos! Thanks for sharing the hunt with us!

I can't see a Coues deer responding to a quadcopter like that moose did! fun video though!

Excellent! nice surprise for sure!

Depends on the model you get....I got the latest version which has a 20-25 min flight time. The older models are about 6-8 mins.

Sample aerial video from other ppl using the setup I have: niagra falls rock formations

My new Christmas gift.....a Phantom 2 quadcopter that can carry my gopro for aerial filming....I don't think it will be all that useful as a scouting tool but it sure is fun to fly! I think it's way too loud to film a coues buck up close. But I can make some spectacular aerial videos and can use it for some of my wildlife surveys where the owls are nesting up in cliffs that are unsafe to climb. Can't wait to get good enough flying it to do some interesting things with it!

Keep at it!! We all have a huge list of "only if's" Gettting close is half the fun!

Let us know how it goes....I hope the police can help you. Hopefully there is a cop on here that can give you more advice. I know they are busy, but it sure seems like and open and shut case...easy win for the mesa PD.

Happy Birthday buddy!!!

Not all the hunts will be in the lottery. Look a the lottery application form to see which hunts will be lottery. I assume that the other hunts will be available for sale at the dept on Feb 3.

Wow, great buck! Congratulations!

It's sold pending funds.....waiting on his check to arrive.....

I bought this camera at a hunting show a few years ago with the intent of video taping things like up close turkey hunts. however, I just haven't used it much at all and now I bought a GoPro camera, so I won't be using this one anymore. This camera has the following specs. I have the waterproof shell and everything is in very good condition. It doesn't shoot high definition video, but it does 640x480 pixel video and 5 MP photos. It works best in good light. It's very small and fun to use! You can clip it to your hat or attach to your helmet or whatever you want. This might make a great Christmas present for your kids! New I think they are about $130, but I will sell for $40. If you are interested let me know.
