Heck of a buck and write up of your hunt. I really dig his G1s that look like G2s. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

I agree with Grong that field photo is FLIPPING AWESOME. Congrats man! Thanks for sharing your success.

That's some fantastic looking coues country you guys are hunting. Great pics and bucks! Congrats!

Man that's a nice looking bow. You did good congrats!

What are the dimensions of the table top?

Great job all around! That buck has some big ol front forks on him. Congrats!

Great write up. Score doesn't matter on this buck and if he truly is 112 then he's the biggest bad-A 112 buck I've ever seen.

How about one of you guys that have seen a pic of it describe it for the rest of us? Is it a typical 140 buck? Non-typical? Huge mass? How many points? Something please.

Congrats on your first coues. I'd say he'd do for your first one. As far as score it's hard to guess from pics but I'd say 121 but wouldn't be surprised if he's a bit more. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Dang that was AWESOME! Loved the footage. I've watched the Twister one 4 time already. Congrats on the bucks and a huge thanks for sharing your hunt with us.

Any guesses on score?

Thanks for taking the time to put this up. Enjoyed every minute of it. The audio was outstanding! I loved the glunking towards the end of the video. One of the best videos I've seen in a very long time. Thanks again hope your able to make a part two. Good luck!

This pic was taken within 100 yards of the buck pics. This squirrel just sat there in the same spot overlooking the canyon for over 5 minutes. I guess people aren't the only ones that admire the view.

One last buck.

Dang it you caught me earlier than expected! I knew someone would figure out these are Grand Canyon bucks but that was quick. After that controversial thread about the 227 buck I decided to take my kids up to the canyon to see some animals up close. The Canyon didn't disappoint and the kids loved it!

Very nice! You ain't kidding about him being symmetrical. Great bull congrats!

Congrats on your bull. Solo elk hunts can be very tough. You did good!

Here's one of his buddies. He wouldn't come out of the thick and these are the only shots I got of him.

I won't be hunting this buck just curious as to what he might score. Norteno he lives on the south side of the ditch.

Sounds like you might have been using a bad pair of Kiababs if you think the Swaro is 15 times clearer than the Vortex but maybe your eyes just don't like the Kiababs for some reason. Everybody's eyes are different. I've used them both side by side out in the field and for me I had a very hard time telling the difference between the two when it came down to on axis clarity. I found the Swaros just a bit sharper in the center but it was very hard for me to see the difference. I really had to look for it to see it. Edge sharpness was a different story. For my eyes the Swaros were sharp to the edge where as the Kiababs started to get a bit fuzzy at around 3/4 out from center. not bad though. It all came down to comfort and for some reason I just didn't find the Kiababs very comfortable to use for long periods of time. I can use the Swaros all day no problem but after an hour or so of using the Vortex eye strain became a bit uncomfortable. No headhaches, dizziness or anything like that but my eyes just started to feel tired and the Kiababs just didn't form to my face like the Swaros do. So definitely if you have the chance try them both out before you make your decision and if at all possible spend a day out in the field not just a quick look in a store. I know a couple of guys who love their Kiababs and are great glassers with them but for me and for how much I glass I'd say the Swaros would be worth the extra money if I had to choose between the two.

Congrats on a buck of a lifetime Broc! Hope you plan on giving us more details and pics soon.

Awesome thread! There's just something about velvet bucks. I Love velvet bucks! Nice buck Flatlander but it looks like it might be a different buck. Ear notches look to be different. Antler configuration looks to be almost identical though.

I guess him around 90-95 in the pic. Nice buck! Good luck getting him come hunting season.

32 gets my vote.

I don't if this has been brought up yet or not but why did the G&F decided to call this 'Simplified' Fees? Can someone please explain how this new system simplifies things?
