AZ RANGER Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Just wanted to share a few pics of my hunt. We decided to hunt a new area this year and although I was skeptical at first I am glad we did. I was able to take a buck that I am very happy with. Our Camp: This was my second time trying to sleep in a hammock. I am still not completely sold on it, but its not bad. Some awesome fall colors: I ended up shooting this buck on the second morning. We saw another nice buck and several small bucks on the opener but this one was a no brainer for me. Big thanks to my good buddy Aaron for all his help. We have been on some great hunts together over the years, and this was no different. We had originally planned to camp near this spring but opted to stay up high so we could be closer to our glassing area. We ran out of water quicker that expected though and this was a welcome site on the way out. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gotcoues Report post Posted October 30, 2014 What a cool deal, congrats on a successful trip. I seem to have slept pretty well in a hammock over the years for nooner type naps in camp, might have to give that a try for an overnighter. The two person tent we carry around weighs in right at 4 pounds plus whatever my inflatable sleeping pad weighs.... Always looking to cut weight!

AZbowhntr Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Great buck. Sounds like a fun hunt. How far did you pack in? And how long did you stay? I always think about doing a backpack hunt but wonder how far people go in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Great hunt. Thanks for sharing it with us and I like that pack. Can you tell me who makes it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ RANGER Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for the replies. We were only packed in about 1.5 miles but it was a rough 1.5 miles. We only stayed two days. We came out after tagging this buck. The pack is the Outdoorsmans optic hunter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apache7mm Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Nice, congrats, perfect example that "packing in" doesn't mean you have to go 10+ miles to have a great hunt! Thx for sharing. DAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
