That is a facinating story and one Savannah will always hold dear. She is one tough girl ! Congratulations on the end results

Good read Tony, and words to live by in terms of good taxidermists are generally skilled artists as well.

Thanks for sharing. unbelievable buck !

That is an incredible piece of Artwork Tim ! Dan did a beautiful job on it, plus... kudos to you for taking the time to really learn the process. That will make a huge difference how you choose your next taxidermist. Congrats !

Very Clean Job !!! I like it

Well this trip was not like last year, and you could say that I sort of got emotionally attached to the eyegards on this buck. I was able to take a couple of trips down to the ranch, the first...I spent a week looking for a shooter. That was not to be. Still Saw alot of deer and you could basically put your glasses in almost any direction and see deer. There were a ton of little 2 points and quite a few 80 inch deer as well, so the future looks extremely well for this ranch. On the second trip, I knew the weather was going to roll in, and I was hoping to find something before it hit, and based on the stories here, I am glad I did. Nevertheless, almost every day right around 10:00 am, the wind would kick up and blow up to 20 mph, so it was gusty. I got up on Saturday morning and headed out to a large hill where I could glass alot of country. No sooner did it get light when I see a couple of 90 inch bucks chasing does and having a blast showing thier skills off. Then as the morning rolled on, I saw quite a few little bucks, when all of the sudden out of the bottom of this nasty little pocket runs a buck up the hill across from me. As soon as I saw the eyegards on this little monster, I was dumbstruck. I don't think I have ever seen eyegards this tall on a live deer before. I started to rate him, and I knew he wasn't a huge deer, but those dang eyeguards kept distracting me, and it probably wasn't a good idea to put a spotting scope on him either, but that is what I did. Well at that point, I decided to commit my rifle to a shot. I moved down the hill a hundred yards or so and got into position to shoot. I had to find him again first and that turned out to be an hour long ordeal. I could see his little buddy, and the doe he was chasing earlier, but not him. It was getting to that magic 10:00 am time and the wind was kicking up. I thought I would call it a day and go to another area, so I moved up 20 yards to my back pack, had some water and a pastry, and just basically sat there for a while enjoying the sites. After that I thought I would take one last look at his little buddy again, because nothing seemed to bother him, including the hot sun. sure enough I found him again and then all the sudden I see another pair of antlers moving through the brush. I caught a glimpse of him, and it was the big eyeguard buck. So I ran down to my rifle and set up on him, and this time he was broadside and feeding on a small bit of brush next to a prickly pear. He gave me ample time to slowly squeeze off on the trigger and when the rifle went off, I heard the distinct "Whollup" sound and knew I hit him. I looked for him through the scope and couldn't find him, but the doe that was above him was looking down at the ground in front of her, not to mention was acting very strange. I waited until the doe moved off and hiked down the canyon and up the other side. He was there, piled up right where I made the shot. I haven't put a tape on him yet, but I know he will be under 100" or close to it. I stayed on the ranch for a couple of more days to glass and basically haave fun, then left before the rain hit.

Coues Sniper... what a monster of a buck ! Both of those deer are fantastic, it paid off to have patience from the storm. Congratulations to you and your cousin....

Great job and a nice buck ! Thanks for sharing the story and pictures

Nice job Kevin, He is a really nice looking buck, way to get it done and thanks for the awesome pictures, that place is looks pretty majestic. Mike

That is a really pretty buck, and he does look bigger than the score. congratulations and thanks for sharing Mike

Nice buck.... !!!! He looks to be around the 110", not sure how wide he is. either way, he is worth a shot from any bow or rifle. Congrats !!!!

Josh, Congratulations on a couple of extremely fine bucks !!! The story was fantastic, and put a guy right there with you. Very nice of Phil to offer the tag, that is a quality friend indeed. It's funny... I might have shot his little brother while I was down there, only I was quite a few miles from you. Well, you have some great addtional memories to add to your life story, again.. congratulations to you guys. I bet you can't wait until next year.... by the way, those canyons look like real A$% kickers. Mike

WHAT a MONSTER... I can't imagine trying to hold the crosshairs on this deer without falling apart. Congratulations Harold on such a unbelievable buck....

Way too go !!! Extremely nice deer and all of your hard work has paid off !!! Congratulations, well deserved.

Very nice, thank you for sharing. You do such a nice job on your videos and pictures ! It really went too fast for me, I didn't want it to end, but I know how it is with the memory usage. The nice thing about being that far down in Mexico is not only the greenery, but knowing that you don't have anyone else out there to bother the wildlife, not too mention the peace/quiet and beauty of the place. The Ranch I will be on is dryer than a bone, not much water was dropped during the Monsoon season. I will be looking forward to another video from you next scouting trip, or hunt. Mike

You can't beat that hunt.... great job and nice looking Vizsla.

Great Job, and nice buck....
