Congrats on 2 beautiful bucks and great that you got to share it with your son.

Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing. You guys know how to get it done! Congrats!

Took the family on the Polar Express in Williams last night. Spotted a small herd of elk from the train right at dark. Nice addition to the trip for me and my kids got to see their first elk. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Nice buck...congrats! Still looking for my first with a bow. How about some details?

Good read. I especially like the example that a 10/22 can be an assault rifle just by changing the cosmetics...

Really cool...thanks for posting and CONGRATS!

Pm sent

Credit card got hit...oh wait not yet.

Nice...was wondering why I hadn't got a text or a call if you had a buck down. Got me.

Nice! Awesome find...

Awesome buck Jim and great write-up and photos. I've decided this year that I'm putting in for Kaibab from now on...leftovers in the southern units as my backup. But only 1 bonus point...that's motivating.

Link appears to work. I was just about to do the same thing and paste a link directly to the photo. Just read the story again...this is really good stuff and hits me "right there." What hunting is all about... Good luck again. Bring it home to Tucson!

Done...good luck and bring it home to Tucson...

Good comments and I agree. If I were going to have only one pair it would probably be 10x42. Maybe 10x50 if not much heavier than 42. I have the Vortex Diamondback 10x42 as my carry binos (on a budget...would like to have bought better glass but good for now) and the Viper 15x50 on the tripod. Got those non-HD at a great price right before they discontinued them...sort of wish I'd bought some 10x42 also. Also a good idea to try out several brands. The Vortex seem to fit my eyes very well and I really like them. Others have used mine and didn't really like them.

Awesome buck! I was looking forward to a nice sneaky archery stalk after the rains this weekend, but all I could find we're does...

Awesome! I've been stalking one in my neighbor's yard, but just haven't been able to get it done yet. I think you forgot this post-kill photo...

Nice first archery deer! Congrats!

I really want to write the great ending we all hope for. Hope to see you end this story well tomorrow...

Awesome!

Awesome buck. Thanks for sharing the story. Caught the last 2 minutes of the bowl game too...priceless!

I can't take 2 games like that in the same day! Cardiac cats is right...now off to bed for a couple of hours before heading out to look for a buck.

Small world...I lived in Tahlequah for a couple of years and I think I remember that same newspaper clipping in that same BBQ joint.

+1 on the dog...big time deterrent.

Unfortunately I have an eye for those too! A buddy reported seeing a couple of bucks running with does today down south. One was a small forky but the other was larger 3x3 or 4x4. Not pushing the does around but was at least running with them. Hopefully the cold will help!

Awesome...congrats! Can't wait for my kids to start hunting.
