Jack Kolar from WI traveled to AZ in hopes of harvesting a buck worthy of a life-size mount. Little did Jack know that his dreams were about to come true. One the evening of day 1, Jack and I had to get aggressive on a bedded buck due to other hunters in the area. We were able to nudge the buck and Jack made a great shot at 260 yards as the buck was trying to slip out of the area.

Steve Ferenczy from OH was up next. On the afternoon of day 4, we were set up on a buck I had found that morning. After 4 days of hunting, Steve made the decision to try and harvest the buck. A couple hours later and Steve's buck was down. I captured Steve's hunt on film and it was featured on an episode of Cabela's Out West. Click on the link at the bottom of this post to watch Steve's hunt unfold.

Dave Betters from CO also traveled to AZ to hunt with BTO. Mike Hancock and Dave hunted hard for a buck that any mule deer hunter would be proud of. He was in a tough spot and often hard to locate. But we beat the odds and had numerous encounters with this great buck. Unfortunately, Dave had a few missed opportunities and the big, wide 4x4 made it through the season. This big buck seemed to have 9 lives! Maybe next year.......
