No hunting for me yet this year just been out having fun videoing with the kids. I haven't been able to get out for the last 4 days so I had some time to put together a video of some of the footage I've been able to get so far in 2013. No fancy editing just a whole bunch of clips set to music. Hope you guys enjoy it. Warning some of you might want to turn the music down. http://youtu.be/F_njS4Syi2

DANG! Sweet bucks all around! The score on that big buck will never give it true justice. He's probably one of the biggest 135 bucks you'll ever see.

If I had to make a guess I'd say anywhere from 500 yards to around 50 yards. Majority of the video was probably under 300 yards but I didn't really pay too much attention to the yardage at the time and I never had a rangefinder with me.

Thanks again everyone. I forgot to post the short version that has just the bigger bucks in it. Here it is. http://youtu.be/ac89fO4LR4

Thanks guys! I don't think the bucks are one in the same Amanda they look too different to me. Yes Jimmyc these are all AZ bucks. Got your PM Pixman I'll get back to you on it as soon as possible. Hopefully I'll be busy looking for deer for the next 4 days and maybe get enough footage to make another video. Thanks again and happy hunting!

What an awesome post! Congrats on your success! Thanks for taking the time to put it all together to share with us.

Killer bucks guys congrats! Very nice job on the video. I thought whoever was videoing in the first clip did an awesome job keeping the shooter informed as to where the buck was, calling the missed shots, getting the range on the deer and running the camera all at the same time. That's some very good multitasking! I don't know if it has been posted yet but you guys happen to score your bucks?

Heck yea great buck congrats! Hard to tell but is he a 3x4 or a 4x4?

Great job on the video.

Man that's awesome! Crazy how you found the bigger one in the same place at the same time. Do you happen to have any more pics at different angles of the 118 buck. Love to see them if you do.

Thanks! My three little girls LOVED it! That's one big snake!

Seems to be getting worse on my end. At first my PC was only detecting a threat one time now it's detecting 3 of them back to back to back. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Me too. Every time I open this thread I get a malicious threat has been detected from my computer.

Heck yea that's a sweet buck! The buck reminds me of someones avatar a while back I think it was silentbutdeadly's old avatar. Congrats on the stud buck man!

What do my fellow hunters think about the Electoral College? Does anyone else here feel that the popular vote would be a better way to elect our presidents?

Looks like there's a good chance it's going to be a bit chilly for this weekends opener. Just curious how some of you feel about maybe having cold, wet windy weather for this weekends hunt. You guys think this weather is going to get the deer up and moving or will it keep them down? Either way I'm beyond excited! Just 3 more days left and I'll be chasing coues!

For the area I'm hunting the forcast for wind doesn't look too good. 23 mph on Friday and 17 mph on Saturday. Hope this changes a bit between now and Friday. Wind eats my eyes up like no other. 1 hour in the wind and my eyes are torn up.

To quote the great Joe Dirt..... "DANG!" Love to see some other angles on that buck if you have them. What a beautiful buck!

Way to go Parker! Heck of a buck! Awesome job on the video guys keep it up.

Nice looking buck. Congrats on your second coues deer! Looks like we both like to hunt in the same general area. Sucks about the miss on the big one trust me I know how you feel. I got the 2nd hunt in there starting on the 9th hopefully there'll be a few big boys left in there for me to chase around.

Interesting idea but as other mentioned I don't think it would work too well. I can actually see the possibility of a rule like this complicating things even more. I agree with the others and think the system we have now is the best system possible.

I watched the video and can't believe the stink that is being made over this. The whole PC crap has gotten way out of hand in this country. In my mind this just encourages me to vote for Mitt even more. I'm pretty sure if you had a sneaky hidden camera that fallowed Obama around catching his every word you'd be getting some good ones from him as well.

Incredible footage! That has to be one of the most awesome looking bulls I've seen in a long time. I sure wish I was up in elk country right now.

Good stuff Craig! "Oh s**t!!! I missed." That was pretty dang funny right there. Keep up the good work and good luck this season!

Found one! Thanks guys!
