Dan H Report post Posted November 10, 2013 Well it was an awesome early Nov hunt, saw 2 bucks I really wanted but could not close the deal. The weather was awesome with the exception of the wind, it was relentless all week. We packed into the Superstitions for 9 days and covered some awesome country seeing lots of deer everyday. A special thanks to NatTroutAz for helping me pack the meat out. I thought he was a 4x4 but only 3 on the one side and a broken tip on otherside noticed aftershooting him in his bed at 315 yards. We never saw any lion like I hoped but it sure was a blast. Found 4 metates on one hill, indian ruins all over, the brush mutilated me a few times but even with the scars I have no regrets. Old man Steve held tough hiking in and out and turning 64 out there and I know he will always remember this hunt, excellent job Steve. We went 1 for 4 so when I get the deer sticks done I'll diddy it up amongst us. Can't wait to see the bucks next year. Dan Pics were not the greatest but when mounts done I'll repost. And the metates soon. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JOEDKILLA Report post Posted November 11, 2013 Nice buck! Sounds like you had a great adventure and an awesome archaeological find. Hope to see a picture of those metates soon. I also found a couple of pestle & mortars while helping a buddy on his muzzleloader hunt, they're a rare find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
