Red Rabbit Report post Posted December 20, 2006 Great story of a first hunt to go with the pics. Knowing Richard and Gabe, I can only imagine how happy they are for Jori. Her encore is gonna be tough though. I believe Gabe said he scored it at 116 2/8 gross. RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JVS Report post Posted December 25, 2006 I have only had the chance to "see" a few deer in that size range, much less shoot one that big. Nice job getting a first timer a buck like that. By the way firstcoueswas80...do you know that a tortuga is a turtle? I think you meant to say "sapo". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tucson John Report post Posted December 25, 2006 Good job Jori! That's a beautiful buck. You could hunt a lifetime and never even see one like that! You had good guides. I remember Joe from Laquachi when it was an active archery club, and as I recall, the entire Canizales clan are dedicated and expert hunters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
