GRONG Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Since these aren't the best photos in the world I figured I'd post them anyway w/o sending them thru Amanda first. I'm going to look for the buck again tomorrow and hopefully get some better video and pics of this toad. I spotted him this morning with a friend of mine. I got the binos set up and quickly took about 2 minutes of video of him. As I was setting up my spotting scope the two does he was with got fiesty and hauled butt over the hill never to be seen again so I never got a head on shot or even a decent profile shot in film. He's a HUGE 2pt on the right, he does have a G3 but it's only about an inch or so and it looks out of place. I think his G2 on that side is around 9". The left antler has 3 fairly normal points, he's wide and freakin gorgeous. I think he's in the 105" class as is. The video is of course better to look at than these pics but you'd have to see it to believe me. Enjoy, hopefully I'll have some better pics manana.

az4life Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Josh Good luck finding him and getting the right position to take more than pictures! Sounds like the rut might be started, so he may not be thinking straight which gives the hunters the edge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
111 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Very nice buck. I'd mount that buck if I got him. Will you guys be using a rifle or bow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted December 27, 2004 I'll be using my bow today and it's my birthday also, so that'd be sweet if I could tag out on a deer like this today. I'll let you guys know. Desert bull, from what I've seen, the rut has been in full swing since the beginning of the hunt. Good luck! Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRONG Report post Posted December 28, 2004 Glassed my tail off today and couldn't find the biggin from yesterday. Found this nice one though. I've got to guide a hunt for the next 4 days so it looks I'll be making tag soup out of my '04 archery deer AGAIN! Oh well, always next year.... a few more days that is!

az4life Report post Posted December 28, 2004 Josh Happy b'day ! I hoped you would get that biggun you saw earlier as a b'day gift. Maybe we can have all the members put in their best recipes for Tag Soup. I think I had one for Tag Stew... The Stew is a little thicker when you don't fill a Deer and Elk tag the same year! Been there... done that... Good l;uck on your guiding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
