Here is what Lee had to say about his hunt:
Here is a buck that I killed November 9th, 2007 opening morning of the hunt. The deer scores 115 and 1/8 inches. The drop tine is about 8 inches with an additional four inch tine. Killed in Cochise County using a 300 Remington Ultra Mag. The shot was exactly 301 yards.

Unit 31, AZ
Suzy Bingham took this buck in 2006 in unit 31. Nice big buck, grosses 97 and some change, nets 94 and 5/8ths.
She killed him with a 257 Roberts at about 100 yards. The 115 grain Nosler Ballistic tip performed beautifully.
Dane Bingham 2007

Unit 31, AZ
Dane Bingham took this buck in October 2007 in unit 31. He made a great 70 yard running shot with his 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser shooting 120 grain Nosler Ballistic tips. Nice young buck, scores in the high eighties. Wouldn’t it be great to be 18 and 185 pounds and be a deer packing machine? Dane’s sister Sarah is with him.

Here is what Bruce said about his hunt:
I took this buck in December 2007 in unit 32. It was a great hunt and we saw a ton of deer. No monsters but quite a few good bucks. I laid in the snow for forty five minutes waiting for this buck to give me a shot. When he finally stepped out I shot under him. He stepped back in the brush and I thought “Great” I’m going to lay here for another forty five minutes. He stepped back out a couple of minutes later and I was able to harvest him with the next shot at 436 yards. This is the longest shot I have ever made actually knowing the distance with a rangefinder. Ruger #1 7MM. Remington Magnum. 140 grain Nosler Ballistic tip handload. The pictures are not great but the grass was deep, the hill was steep and the decomposed granite was like walking on softballs. He nets 90 7/8 ths. Interestingly we saw four more nice bucks in this same canyon that all possessed the same crawdad fork on the same side.
Justin Stahl 2007

Justin shot the buck at 441yd. on Oct. 26 2007. He and his brother had been watching him and one other buck. Opening day came and he was right where they had been seeing him and he went down. The other buck wasn’t with him that morning, they think the other buck would have gone 110 plus.
This buck officially scores 125 2/8 (gross) and 115 5/8 (net).

Here is what Sevio had to say about his hunt:
Here are a couple of pictures of the buck I took in 36C in Dec 2007. He scores 91 3/8, I thought he was a little better but as you know these little guys are hard to judge sometimes when their on the go. I took him with a 300 Win mag at 320 yards. He may have been attacked by a lion as he had a large piece of hide ripped opened on his right hind quarter and two big gouges on his left hind quarter, He also had a large cut just above his right rear hoof that’s was swollen to half its normal size.

Kyle, on the left, and Roger both shot their bucks (3×4’s), on the last day of their hunt. Kyle shot his first Coues deer right after sunrise, scoring 102 2/3. Kyle’s uncle, Roger, then shot his buck only 3 miles away within the same canyon, 2 hours later. Roger’s scored 99 ½. Kyle’s proud dad, John, is in the middle. He spotted Kyle’s deer and was able to get Kyle within 150 yards. Roger’s was shot at 175 yards.

Unit 24A, AZ
This is Natalie’s first Arizona deer. I helped her out on her hunt and we were after a very nice 100 inch buck, but were never able to close the deal. So Natalie decided to take this spike that presented itself less than 50 yards away on the last day.

here is what Pete wrote about their hunt (Pete shown with his buck in top photo, both Pete and his dad are in bottom photo with dad’s buck):
This buck was taken in 24A on December 28th (top photo). My father and I both had the late hunt in this unit and I started hunting in the southern part of the unit on the 15th of December. Finally on the last weekend, we moved all the way up to the north end of the unit were we new the area better.
I got to camp on Friday the 28th @ 2:30 pm and took out of camp and shot this buck @ 3:10 @ 35 yards off the side of a road.
The next day we glassed a buck that was bigger for my dad so we decided to go after him. In the process of walking back to the quads, I saw a 2 point and my dad (not a trophy hunter) ended up shooting the 2 point.
Levi Dilday 2007

Unit 33, AZ
Levi was 10 years old when he got this buck during the Oct youth hunt. He shot the buck at 130 yards and killed him with one shot. His father, Jim, had a great time helping Levi on this hunt and says he may have even been happier than Levi was! He said they hunted some larger bucks, but couldn’t get on them.

Here is what she wrote about her hunt:
I killed this buck while hunting with my boyfriend and dad December 29th on the whitemountain apache reservation. I shot this buck at 75 yards with a ruger 308. We saw this buck while walking on top of a flat near a canyon. When we first saw the buck it caught us off guard, because we spooked it down toward the canyon. If it wasn’t for the does he was chasing we would have never got a shot off. We gross scored it at about 95. This buck is a big 2×2 with eye 6 inch eye guards.

His wife was able to connect on this buck Sunday morning. I had found the buck Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and afternoon and then again Sunday morning.

This is a 3×3 with only one eyeguard. scores in the 80’s. we spotted this buck at 10:00 a.m. and watched him bed. we made the stalk and set up at 325 yards. It was as close as we could get due to the terrain. The buck was bedded with his vitals right in front of a tree trunk, so we waited him out 5 1/2 hrs before he gave us a shot.
