I've been waiting for this hunt more than any others I've been on this year. My Nephew Armando drew a very good youth tag here in AZ. I wasn't able to scout a whole bunch due to other hunts and commitments.
I did make it out the weekend prior to the hunt, mostly I glassed up these guys.
Close up.
I did get to take my family with me scouting. Kids by the campfire is always fun.
Brasen and Stone enjoying it.
So today (12-17-10) was opening day. We were greeted by a nice sunrise.
Not long after the sun was up, the action started. There was a few misses at a buck of a lifetime, tough to watch. He pressed on and we saw this buck. He wanted to shoot, it's his tag and I wanted him to take whatever he wanted. He made a great 110yd shot with the muzzleloader. Here is the end result and Armando's first Mule Deer.
