GregW knows the program, and this buck, in that tough country, are proof positive. Nice buck Greg, you earned it, and you deserve it.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Very nice Greg. Must have been a special hunt missing out on the others, but then again they all are, right.
That other one in the video lives in the same unit? The habitat looked quite a bit different. Maybe he's just in a draw or on the north side of a hill?
Anyhow, thanks for sharing that.

PS, you hunt in the SE part of the state for that guy? I've always hunted farther north.

Thanks for the reply,
Nice wide open country with good brushy spots down that way it looks. Perhaps you're "boy" will show up for you in the new year. Will that be an archery hunt for you? Good luck.

PS, I can't wait to see if my wife and I do retire back to AZ. I checked the other day and see they don't tax SS. That'll sure help.

Which parts a head scratcher? My bullets didn't do what yours did? If so, welcome to hunting... Agree x2 Just goes to show how worthless conventional wisdom is. The usual thinking is that with lower velocities penetration should increase and expansion decrease. But you did well, just spent a week in the desert por nada. But I had a great time.

He's not over the hill by any means--I'd bet that he'll be there next year. Hope that you find him again!
