YES!!!! Very awesome! Good for Jake, and good on you for taking him hunting!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

OUTSTANDING!!! Very cool! Absolutely nothing beats hunting with your kids! S.

VERY awesome, Nick! You have had some great luck with the draws!! Good for you! Good luck on the hunt this summer! S.

VERY cool!!! So awesome to get out with your kids like that! Thanks for sharing with the site. S.

I own two Eberlestocks, of different sizes. Great packs! Good deal for someone who is in the market. Not my business but since it's not used with tags still on, maybe the place you bought it at would take it back? Either way, good luck selling! Should be just a matter of time..... S.

Awesome man! Welcome to the site, and thanks for sharing your story!! S.

Good stuff! The Gourds used to do some pretty good covers of some rock and hip-hop songs..... (Check out Gin & Juice / Gourds on youtube..... ) S. ​

GOOD LUCK!!! I vividly remember all of my three children's first deer hunts..... They are turning into young adults now, but I still have those amazing memories! Soak it up and have fun! No matter how it comes-out, tell us a story when you return! S.

IMO, yes it is possible. Often times there can be little to no external bleeding, depending on the wound. Keep looking! If the deer was in fact hit, intuition would have me looking downhill first..... Good luck! S.

+1 BIG thanks to all of the heros of our nation!! Especially those cw.com members reading this! Thank you! Thought I would share (once again) one of my favorite pics of my personal hero, my father! One last smoke before he crawls up into his B-17 for a mission during WWII!! (Never mind that he is standing next to a plane loaded with about 5000lbs of high explosives and 3500 gallons of fuel!!! ) S.

Another vote for Verizon! I actually have two phones...... Verizon for personal and AT&T for work. I take them both with me everywhere I go so I have the opportunity to compare the service between the two quite often. There is NO doubt in my mind that Verizon has much better service coverage than AT&T across the board (Can't speak to T-mobile or Sprint). I was even on a backpacking trip to Havasupai Falls a couple of weeks ago and took my iPhone for pics. Amazingly enough, I actually had service WAY down in that canyon! Of course I immediatly put my phone on 'airplane' mode so I couldn't get any texts/calls while there, as planned!! Verizon!!! S.

+1 Birders LOVE good optics! S.

NICE!!! Gotta love a big ol' bachelor herd!!! S.

Not sure what tact you are taking, but if you were/are experiencing lots of gunfire in your area, then maybe get deeper into those steep, nasty, catclaw infested mountains! My advice would be to strap on a good headlamp and hit it about 90 minutes before light! Get some elevation and a couple of miles in between you and the closest road before it gets light enough to shoot, and then sit down behind your binoculars and glass, glass, glass! Keep at it and good luck!! S.

Very awesome!!!!! NOTHING beats hunting with your kids! It's the best! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Hey Ken! Yes, I have felt your pain! With three spaced out I was able to 'hand them down' from kid to kid..... All of mine are now in adult shoes. Sorry, none of our used youth sized boots are in much of a condition to pass along. That being said, I wanted to respond to mention maybe checking with one of those places that deals in used sporting goods. There is a place called C & S Sporting Goods on 7th Street over here in Central Phx (7th just North of Bethany Home Road). They always have a pretty nice selection of youth sizes in lots of shoes from baseball cleats to hiking boots! Maybe check them out or any used sporting goods place close to you? Maybe even Good Will? Good luck!!! S.

YES!!! Very awesome!!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

I've camped in 36C alone several times. Really not a big deal, IMO..... What area are you planning on camping? There are usually spots where you can find other camps within close proximity, if you're looking for less solitude at night. Good luck on the hunt! S.

And a big ol' glass of milk to wash it all down!! Perfect! Sitting here on a BORING conference call at work with my mouth watering!! S.

Sounds like a great hunt, Lance!!! Precious time spent with precious people..... Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Way to go!!! Solo is awesome!! Welcome to the site! S.

Outstanding!!!!! Great buck! Nothing at all beats hunting with your kids!! Thanks for sharing with the site! S.

Wish you would have stopped by. We heard the the shots from over there! Congrats! Next time stop by for a cold one! The pressure was a little higher just to the west of us in that bowl. We stayed further east and didn't see as many people. We could see your headlamps moving up the mountain over there every morning. Ha!! "Shots" as in, plural.... Yep, that was us! We both shot twice on Friday morning and missed clean. Long, ill planned shots.... Then on Sunday morning my buddy took two shots to bring his deer down (that was about 6:45 on Sunday...). Maybe see you on a future hunt down there.... Next time I won't be so shy and will definitely stop! S.

Hey Mocha1545! I was camped right near you guys! Saw the coueswhitetail sticker and meant to stop in to say hello, but never ended-up making it by (I was in a white 4 door Tacoma & my buddy had a white Jeep.... We were camped in the Alaknak tent a few hundred yards down the two-track by your camp...). Glad you guys had a good time!! We parked in the lot up by the ranch and hiked back in approx. 3 miles each day. Saw multiple bucks each day, and my buddy finally connected on a nice one on Sunday morning. Did you guys hunt those hills/mountains where you took the picture of the petroglyphs? I've hunted in that area in years past with some good success, though it can sometimes get a little pressure..... Awesome that your buddy killed his first buck!! Anyway, it's awesome that you all had a good time! I'll make it a point to stop in and say hello next time I drive past a camp with a cw.com sticker in the window! S.

Outstanding, Josh!!! Also of course, VERY cool that your little man was there to share the experience!! S.
