just an update i did end up going with bragging rights taxidermy he said i should have it back by late march. $350 for a shoulder mount $100 extra for open mouth didnt opt for open mouth cant wait to get this bad boy back

ok well here it is finally 4 years in the making . my first ever deer im so dang stoked. 35A, purchased a couple leftover tags on thursday was disaponted with my archery season and the selling of my bow (financial reasons)so decided to give 2011 one more try . was supposed to head out friday morning with my buddy and hit the east side of the huachuca mountains he had to work so it was a solo mission . It tuned out to be a pretty windy day and only glassed up about 8 doe not a buck in sight. day 2 5:15 am we had plans on heading up through fort huachuca towards parker canyon lake and hunt a private ranch but it was a mess in sierra vista with rain, wind, cold just nasty out. so instead we went to breakfast now about 6:30 am our route changed and headed to ash canyon charcoaled trees from the monument fire rain, rain, rain no deer in sight no other hunters to be found almost called it a day and waited for the evening hunt but decided to take the long way around to parker lake through the national monument in hopes it would clear up. now 8 am up in the clouds wind blowin, raining and foggy as anything we come up to this hairpinned turn snow started coming down . i look up the hillside and there he is silhouetted with the backdrop of clouds staring down at us i yelled out RACK!!!!! i jump out of the truck it begins to snow and the wind picks up not ready at all dig through my bag for the ammo load it up take aim BANG!!! didnt move must have nicked the top of him cycled another round BANG!!!! REALLY ANOTHER MISS is this how its gonna unfold. as i pulled my gun from the truck i hit the scope on the door in all the excitement and had to throw it off NOOOOO MY BUCK RUNS i get back in the truck in disbeleif and give the bad news we start to drive away and HOLY Sh!$ he's still there but now tucked away behind a boulder on the other side of the ridge then dips away again we get about 1/2 mile down the road i tell my buddy just go back man he cant be gone . get back to the opposite side of the ridge there he is standing broadside behind some scrub oak i have about a 1 foot window all i see is his belly and legs i take aim 60 degree angle uphill about 140 yards my last chance now, take aim again for the third time aim a foot below him BANG!!!!!! his leg went up and actually seen him wince stumbled 5 feet gone ( where did he run to dang ) jumped back in the truck drove around to the other side of the ridge and started my way up the ridge line made it to the top no deer in sight. walked down the hillside to where i could see the road looked to my left blood he made it about 5 feet and droppped layed up against a yucca at this point all was adrenaline was used up dropped to my knees placed my hand between his rack and thanked that deer to no end . it was a horrible 100+ yard downhill drag to the truck my legs were like rubber lol after further inspection it turned out to be a partial gut shot through the second rib and either hit his lung or heart but either way dropped him in his place with my third shot lol 3 shots one kill!!! i have yet to score him and dont have dressed weight as of yet sorry this isnt a miraculous 800 yard shot with hours of glassing and stalking but it was a miraculoius 3rd shot we still had one more tag to fill but have not been able to locate a tag filler in our 2 day hunt

wow!! nice good job guys great story

well i think we might be headed out tomorrow evening . just spotted 6 more buck a 3x3 , 4x3 and 4 spikes had some doe playing ring around the rosy with a bedded buck only 150 yards from a house just need them to move up the hillside to tag one, found em on the east side of the huachucas hopefully i can add more pics found me a little honey hole

lmao i was actually thinking about tossing the rack and possibly doing an @ss mount how much for that hahahhaahahah

yeah but if i do the euro mount i wanna get the skull done with liquid print dipped in the bone head camo which in total will still run me $300 or so but looks pretty sweet then for another $250 i can do the shoulder mount i really dont mind spending the $500-$600 over the course of 8-12 months it was just the inital shock when i was told that it would run me about $1600 for the mount

i see what your saying pretty funny stuff there lmao

REALLY well when i say cheap i meant like $300-$600 i was told by a few people that it would run me $1600 to do a shoulder mount i didt wanna trade a mount job for for beer and crack rocks if thats what u thought my post implied but after further research i did find out they run about $400-$700 which is doable just not the $1600 and i used (billybob u kill em we'll fill em) as a kinda funny name for a taxidermist dont think there actually is someone out there with that name if so sorry for poking fun at ya I have found a local place who cant get me in till mid dec (BRAGGING RIGHTS TAXIDERMY ) STARTING AT $350 http://www.bragginrightstaxidermy.com/default.html whetstone az.

hello all, besides the fact that another buckless season so far this year has come and gone im on the ropes with selling my bow i love hunting i love shooting my bow so im not sure if its the fact of only seeing 4 doe this entire year or that im still not excactly sure how to properly bowhunt. nobody in my area that i know bow hunts. In the past 3 years bowhunting ive hunted from nogales to wilcox and seen only 1 buck and it was when i was at work opening day without my bow last season and unfortunatly like many of us funds are limited so an outfitter is not an option and yes as many of you will probably say patience and preserverance will pay off. well i have patiencs spewing from my ears but its hard to have patience with something your not completely sure of your even doing right the experiences that i had out in the feild have been dang cool and at times really scary mostly this season with me seeing wild turkey, emu, 2 coaties ,a bear and its cub who decided to climb the tree i had a stand in , a charging bull so its been nothing short of a fun season other than that coveted buck . and for those 1 or 2 who might reply and ask what bow am i thinking of sellin lol ( http://sierravista.craigslist.org/spo/2572067203.html ) and for all others please post a reply either to suck it up or even some advice anything will help. thank you all for sharing or just reading about my dilema

the only issue with putting your name and address on it is that now when the forest service find it u will have to pay the fine for leaving trash in the forests and you still dont get your camera

well i am leaning towards keeping my bow just that it gets very frustrating putting in so much time just to add to the tag stack. i want to experience the dec-jan hunt so if there is anyone out there that has already tagged out for this year and maybe wanna come along for a few more days in the feild to end the season im not asking for u to give up your honeyhole but maybe an extra set of eyes in the areas i been hunting and a few pointers in the field .

i do beleive it was an escapee from the nearby ranch but either way it was an effin emu really i mean comon while deer hunting
