AZbowhntr Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Great buck. I know how you felt. I had the west side tag last year and they would get in that deadfall and you would never think they could hide in it. And the next thing you know it comes alive with deer moving. We found beds under logs that were suspended on top of other logs that you would never be able to see a deer in. Great job sticking with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed67 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Funny story - One morning, pitch dark, i am parked at the end of a two track miles from no where. I see head lights coming but they didnt look like truck lights. There are several different roads they could take so i did not pay them any attention. I turned on my lights hoping they would see i was here. Im getting my pack out of the back seat and they pull up right behind me and roll down the window and say hi! It was a car full of japanese tourist looking for a spot to photograph the sunrise. The driver says, "What you hunt"? I said, "deer". Then he replied, "How many you get"? That is when i SHOULD have answered, "You go now. You be here too long". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed67 Report post Posted October 26, 2016 Great buck and great story. In 2011 I was on the east side game trail during the late hunt and was about 7 miles in off the highway. I met up with a Japanese girl driving a car alone looking for the canyon. The gps in her rental car directed her this way. I turned her around to the highway. Lol.
