Well this was my last weekend for archery pig this year and I came home with a wealth of knowledge but no pig. January 19th Woke up at 4 and drove down to 36b to get a full day of hunting. Got down to my spot at 7ish and started to glass. Today was kind of slow nothing really moving in my spot. Was able to find 8 deer 1 being a small buck (2x1). January 20th Got to the same spot as yesterday around the same time in hopes of finding the big herd of pigs I had seen the week before. Sat down and in less then 10 minutes had 3 small bucks located. The biggest of these 3 was a very small 3x2 and the other 2 were spikes. Continued to glass and found a decent fork so my friend decided to try and stalk them. He was able to get to 60 yards and slipped spooking the buck. We decided to move around to glass a different set of hills and found nothing. Took our midday nap and wake up and find 3 more bucks feeding. Biggest in this group was a fork. Continued glassing this area til dark and found 2 more small forks. So over the day saw 14 deer and 9 were bucks but nothing very good size. Here is a pic of the first group of 3. January 21st Today was my last day to hunt. Went to a different area where I have seen several different herds of pigs. Glassed for about 2 hours only finding 1 doe. Decided to move to an area where I have seen a herd of pigs quite often. Glassed for 30 minutes and found a very nice buck in my standards. He was an 80 class buck. I attempt my stalk and get about 150 yards and try to relocate him. I see a deer come out of the bottom of the canyon and see the buck lip curling chasing the doe. I watch where there go over the ridge and try to relocate them with no luck. Here are a couple pics of the buck. Hope everybody enjoyed my log through my first archery hunt. I am definately addicted and am looking forward to next January.

Great buck again. Pope and Young class coues in september and now a Pope and Young class muley in January. You are tearing it up man

I am guessing since he is from Alaska he might want a large caliber like that for bear and moose. THe 458 win mag does not have as much recoil as you would think so you know. I was able to shoot 1 over the summer and it feels abou the same as a 300 win mag.

Some great bucks in there. Do you know what is in the foxes mouth? Also I dont think I have ever seen a trail cam pic of rabbits making rabbits Also the last buck is that an extra tine coming out in front or a stick stuck to him I cant tell.

Fantastic job Scotty. Those look like some nice mature birds also.

ONLY A 2 POINT!!! That is a great buck man congratulations

Everybody throw in all your deer pictures from the 06/07 season and lets get a big collection going. I know there are alot of pictures out there.

153 and some change

Sweet deal there. Nice pig and nice deer in the same month. Cant beat that.

That is a great looking buck and he has gone 6 for 6 the last 6 years. Bring on the other 5 bucks.

I am hoping I will be helping my dad on an antelope hunt and scouting for my archery bull tag

My jaw just went through the floor literally.

those are 2 beautiful bucks. Very very respectable.

Great mass and super tall. Perfect man absolutely perfect.

Nice shed and even nicer rack. Still looking at finding my first intact rack.

Congrats on the pig Brian. I bet you had more than enough room to spare with that just one

Awesome pictures. You always post some great pics.

Sweet buck man. Love the dropper on him.

That buck brings a tear to my eye. I hope I can someday see that video. Congrats on a trophy of a lifetime.

That is first seconds of light on first day buck for sure. Character and its huge. I am speechless.

Ernesto you have worked hard for a long time for a buck of that caliber. Congratulations on a great trophy.

Well I first started posting on forums when I was 13 or 14 cant quite remember and after seeing all the pictures of everybody I thought I was young and I am a hunter so I just combined the 2 and boom you got me younghunter.

Stud of a carp there . I would take him with my bow without a dought and with my rifle without a dought.

Man if that was the smaller of the 2 bucks that thing must have been a toad and a half. Great buck you tagged a definate trophy of a lifetime. Congrats to the other hunters as well.
