Some great advice so far.......but I would also encourage you to join your local archery club. It's a great way to support our sport, and also gain additional insight from those who've been pulling bowstrings a while who may be willing to share their knowledge. Who knows, you may even get an invite somewhere. Either way, it's a win-win.

I know, love it up there......retirement will be nice! I'll have a new job......full time bowhunter. I'll be up there over the Memorial Day Weekend looking at critters, fishing, and just enjoying the mountains. Maybe one of these times we can meet and talk bowhunting over a beverage!

Yes, sir......

If you have trouble finding elk, let me know. My retirement property is in 3B and I've scouted lots of areas the past two Septembers......I'll be living there full-time next year.

If they REALLY wanted them removed, then they should allow ANY Kaibab deer tag holder the opportunity to legally take a deer (as normal) OR elk during their respective hunt.

McClendon's buck was stripped and officially measured 204 7/8" at panel in 2015, making it #2 at the time. The new P&Y world record was special panel measured at the April 2017 Convention.........It has some awesome tine length. Just goes to show you that a wide deer is not necessary for record class animal.

Miss seeing your photos RR.......NICE capture.

The California Bowmen Hunters (CBH) record book will have all the records off the three separate species in the state; Mule Deer, Columbian Blacktail, and the Pacific Hybrid. The zones you are describing fall within the Pacific Hybrid boundary. http://cbhbgc.azurewebsites.net/Records/PacificHybridDeer

Man, that measurer has some good penmanship! Congrats again, Blake. .

You may want to keep tabs on the winter they're having right now.......already dead deer in the deep crusted snow. These areas will influence tag allotments and overall success.

That's awesome! My wife just arrowed her first buck last week too. It's a very proud day for us hubbies. Tell her congratulations.

NICE!

Down south, the mule deer rut is just starting to get good in my area. My wife arrowed this buck on the New Years Day (afternoon). He was bedded with 6 does and she was able to stalk within 40 yards of the does. When they got up to feed, the buck got up to check on them. She arrowed him 45 yards when he went by. This was her FIRST deer.....to say she was ecstatic would be an understatement. Our grown kids to come along for the recovery!

Way to go, young man! I hope he's the first of many to come.

BC777: Congratulations on a true buck of a lifetime! If you want to enter it into P&Y or B&C, let me know......I'll measure it for you when I go to my property in Lakeside. Awesome buck and well deserved!

Gorgeous typical muley........big time congrats!

Good looking mule deer, congratulations!

Once in a lifetime typical! Congratulations.

NICE!

Well done, my friend! What a heck of an adventure.

Very well done......congratulations on what sounds like a hard earned trophy.

Well, both are nice bucks......but even the 'other' typical standing next to him isn't going to beat the Burris buck. But he sure is a nice Antelope Island buck. As for the biggest in the world alive today......nope.......I believe there's one bigger video taped on the Henries this year (that would be 2016, trphyhntr).......and another (tail cam pic) from the AZ Strip (2016 as well, trphyhntr).

Biggest buck in the world? Won't beat the Burris buck........but it's a dandy.

Get the sight with the best warranty in the industry.......Montana Black Gold!

That definitely is part of the lupine/lupinus family. There are several versions of lupine.
