So it's been a long week in a good way. I had two hunts back to back, Colorado and Arizona.

I took a great buck in Colorado and had very high hopes of my Arizona tag as well. Only problem is that record highs were forecasted for the first 4 days of the hunt. But you can't kill them sitting on a couch.

We observed little to no deer movement opening morning. It was hard to stay motivated and glass when it was 94 and a 20 MPH wind.

However, at about 2 PM Chris glassed up a neck and head of a deer that hadn't been there the last pass. We studied this deer for an hour from multiple locations trying to determine if he was worthy. He finally woke up from a nap and let me see his quad pod on his left and I realized this was a deer I had glassed up scouting and was right at the mark. With the weather being unfavorable but knowing there were numerous deer bigger in the area, I had a call to make. I decided to let him have it as he was in a very killable spot.

Closed the distance a bit to about 430 and killed him.

He ended up being a bit better than what I thought he was at 181".

.280 Ackley, 168 Berger again. SWFA 3-15...

Coues deer up next....

Hope everyone has a super 2016!

That is an awesome looking buck - not sure I would pass on one like that ever!! Congrats to you!

Super deer, congrats! What reticle do you have on your Super Chicken?

Mil-quad on them all...

Wow man extremely impressive!

You're really on a roll congrats!

Very nice buck. I hope someday to get a muley.

Very nice. I'm in unit 8 and we have only seen 1 spike on public land and the biggest thing taken was a very small fork. I can't help but think these guys are being way over hunted compared to years past. The road closures don't help either I guess but I've been out pounding dirt and still not seeing alot of tracks or sign like we used to. I've always tried to take the stance of not shooting a baby as to give them a chance to grow up but it looks like I'm in the minority up here this year. Best of luck to everyone.

Very nice buck!! I can dig the 'quad pod'!

Sweet buck Greg!!

That's a nice buck right there. Great job!

That is an awesome buck right there!

Wow! Congrats!

quite the stud right there,very nice!

Awesome! Congrats Greg!

Congratulations Greg,
That is a very good looking buck. I'm glad to see Arizona producing great bucks again. We hunted hard in the Kaibab in 1979 and no one in our party saw anything larger than a fork horn.

Real nice desert buck, Greg.

Congrats on a great desert buck. Missed this thread somehow, must have been scouting...grin.
