Sky Island junkie

Congrats! Way to stick with it!

I would take a cos elk tag though!

I know a few guys with 80” wt bucks that think they’re 100”-105”

heck yeah!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks man! Our daughter is coming home from Germany December 19. Haven’t seen her for 2 Christmas’s

You bet!

Early mornings and late nights

Easier? You might have to give up the beer!

I’ve passed on big Muleys in areas where I knew big wt bucks lived during archery season. Not saying I’m right in the head but I’m addicted to coues the same way you are desert mule deer. And it’s not just the animal, it’s the rugged, beautiful country they live in, the other critters like lions you can glass up etc. I would love to kill a big Muley some day to hang on the wall however just don’t know if I want to give up a year chasing coues!

90” coues!!

Danged illegal!

I agree. Definitely unsettling to think when you see these guys, there could be riflemen watching over them and probably watching us too! When I think to myself this is my country and I’m not giving up what gives me so much pleasure, it calms me down a bit

I live not far from what’s been a pretty heavy traveled area. Guess I’m just used to it

I would say excitement if it hadn’t been for happening with both rifles and then verifying later. Last year I ranged for a friend twice and gave him the reading, he dialed and shot. He missed high by 2’ twice. I ranged again, this time steadying on my tripod, this time about 150 yards closer so he dialed the right moa and hit his mark. Before hiking to the buck, I ranged that area again and figured I was hitting a boulder behind the buck up the ridge that was about 150 yards further out. The spotter had the fever that time! I hate that feeling you got right now!

Those are some great bucks!! Good work!

Danged tough hunt with this warm weather! We had to quit after 5 days looking for a couple giants that live in about a 2 square mile area that gets no pressure. Figured we’d have to ride a grid on horseback with brush guns! Dicey! Keep after it if you have the time! Right place right time

Sorry you guys lost your dad. A tough time. Glad you could get out and do something you and he were passionate about! Great buck!

Great buck! Let’s Go Brandon!

Seems like I’m never in cell range to get out but I’ve come across bp agents sitting along a road and given them coords and they don’t seem to be too interested.

Man she sure deserves that ear to ear grin! I’ll say 111 just for the heck of it! Congrats on a great buck again whatever he measures!

maybe offensive talk affects the nutritional value of beef the same way fear does?!

Holy smokes! At times I’m glad my dad isn’t around to see this shoot show!!

Can’t blame you for not taking chances with kiddos!

Wife and I were glassing from a little knob in 35a and about 10 or so came walking right below 80 yards or so. One of them saw us and they scattered. 2 of them that looked as if to be brothers were behind a big boulder, I gave kind of a friendly wave and the younger one waved back. The older one backhanded the one that waved back in the shoulder! We laughed for days about that!

Short answer is no. They headed back to Scottsdale. If I remember right they were so shook up they didn’t think about it until I mentioned it

Great buck! Congrats!
