Yes I still have 2 youngin coming up behind the others.

Congrats on your buck. I love those tall tight framed bucks!

I'd keep it but the other kids rifles shoot tighter groups with a little more punch. Haven't had time to try a bunch of different types of ammo, mostly because I'm always short on time. Not opposed to keeping it just wondering how much it would cost and what all is involved to just switch calibers.

Very first thing is a decent rangefinder. Next, I think a good sight is money well spent. I like the IQ sights because they help you stay consistent with the retina lock. Here's a link to some sales at Sierra trading post. https://www.sierratradingpost.com/s~iq/ If you go with a slider I'd do a two or three pin slider where you have a 20 and 30 yard then use the slider for further distances. Next would be arrows and broadheads. Do a lot of broadheads research and you will find that slick trick and g5 Montec are the two most used. I recomend slick trick, I recently made the switch myself and am very happy with them. As far as arrows I also just switched to carbon express maxima. I like the small diameter for less wind drift.

$15 is better then then $100 I spent for the timney trigger for my son's. Ours killed two elk and a Coues.

That's probably the ones square mile of private property right there.

BP got a couple on camera down at the south end of the chiricauas not far from Douglas. I know three different people that saw some near wilcox and bowie.

That is a beutiful buck! And good for him for wanting to put others before himself, that says a whole lot about him.

Lol, javelina in a hotel room that's some funny stuff. Thanks to Adam and forum members goldfinger76 and wildwoody I had more then my fair share of destroying a hotel bathroom. Adam was happy just to not have to clean the birds himself. We had sore fingers.

Wes thanks for the kind words and congrats on you're first western animal! I was a little bummed you guys left before filling a tag. I think I wanted you guys to kill something as much as you did. Come on back in August, or the next couple weeks if you can!

Nice buck man! Congrats! I think I met the dude second from the left on a hunt for heroes hunt in 35A. Think maybe Chase? Lives over by Sunsites and works for the railroad?

Hard to believe you couldn't get them sharp. I saw a video where a guy was using a flat sharpening stone to sharpen them and it seemed to work pretty good. I also recently switched from muzzy and it was a toss up between the Montec and the slick trick magnum. I went with the slick tricks but considered switching to the montecs for ease of resharpening. After reading some other threads about Montec verses slick tricks I stayed with the slick tricks. It worked great on the buck I just killed. I'll be staying with the ST for now on.

Great bucks, congrats.

I'd consider a lifetime license before you leave.

Uh oh, here comes trouble..

Pink matches my high heels.

Yup they are all awesome. Still think some chick colors would be a good idea fo the ladies. Maybe black with pink lettering.

Beutiful buck!

What a challenge! My money is on lance.

Wow! First deer and with a bow no less. Great job dude! Your very fortunate to have a wife that hunts with You. Since stalking might be difficult for you on rough terrain i would suggest just walking well used easy to walk trails where deer are slightly more used to people around. Maybe also river bottoms with trails. Youd be surprised how many chances you might get.

Glad to hear he's doing well.

Agree with all above, I think Prdtr meant to say book a glassing class with Duwane, probably auto corrected. Binos on a tripod are a must. 15s are the standard although some guys use 12s. I personally recomend 15s. Look up old threads on glassing, that's the most useful info to you. Southern units have way more deer then the northern units and are easier to draw. Have a good magnification scope and a caliber that can reach out there. 300 yard plus shots are sometimes all you have so be prepared.

Didn't feel like going out this morning but when I looked outside I knew I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Walked a couple two tracks looking for tracks just to see what the deer would be doing. Saw this guy a ways ahead of me and was able to work my way up and around pop up over a slight rise and let one fly. I knew right away he was mine. I won't say how many arrows I let fly I over the last few weeks. It felt great to finally connect. Momma even came out to take pics and help me drag him out. Now I got to help momma get one!

Wow, cool find. Even that smaller one is a shooter to me with all that trash!
