Congrats that’s a long shot in my book. I can hit targets out to 700-800 but so far my longest on a deer has been right around 350. Kudos for keeping it real when you could have easily left the misses out of the story. My hats off to you you’re a brave man👍

Off the head

Got a mule deer cape if anyone needs one. Killed 2 days ago and it’s currently in the freezer. Unfortunately the cape isn’t tubed because I already cut up the back of the neck before deciding to cape it. Buck field dressed right at 190 pounds. Nice looking cape. Asking $75 located in Sierra Vista.

Thanks! Already ate the tenderloins and some backstrap. Very tasty! If it was my tag he definitely would have gotten a pass which would then lead me to desperately looking for a spike on the last day🤣

We have 6 more deer tags. 4 for the kids and the other 2 are for my wife and I. How about you guys?

Na man this opening morning stuff sucks..Nothing beats that feeling you get when you bag a buck on the last day after hunting your butt off. Last day buck trumps first day buck every time.

Not much to say about this hunt. We found him 500-600 yards out. Waited for him to bed. Snuck up to 180. He stood up and my father in law knocked him back down again. Tagged out and back to the truck by noon. Here’s a hot take for ya tagging out on opening morning is overrated.

Nice congrats! Good looking cow. These youth cow hunts have been some of our favorite hunts over the years. Thanks for sharing 👍

That tripod part had me scratching my head. I still can't think of a good reason for implementing a rule like that other than to keep the crossbow guys from being able to shoot further than the bow hunters thus making it a little more like an actual bow hunt.

Good question. Probably not too many but I don’t know. I will say that just 1 deer or elk taken by someone who cheated the system so they could use a crossbow during an archery hunt is 1 too many.
