Arizona January 05 Hunt (pics)

Many of you have heard of the Muley Crazy Crew (Ryan et al) tipping over monster muleys the past couple years in Northern AZ. Well, I call this trio the BOHNTR Crew. :arrow
Here are some pics of a few bucks we got last week. The first is Fred Smith's heavy down-hill buck. I've watched this buck the last couple of years get smaller in tine length, while gaining more mass. He's 23" wide, very tall, with lots of extras. With only a 3-point side, he still grosses in the 150's. After Fred shot him, I wished I hadn't passed the deer 2 days earlier. #-o
The second photo is the other member of the BOHNTR Crew, Wally Schwartz. His buck is a 25" 4-point with a broken G-4 on the right side. When we frist saw the buck early in the hunt, he still had the G-4, which was about 9". The buck still grosses in the 150's.
I had my chance at a monster 220" non-typical and simply mis-judged the yardage. I passed many 20-24" four points and ended up coming home without one. The price you pay I guess for being picky I guess. Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos.

Thanks for the photos, looks like a blast and some great success. Both bucks are great bucks, that bottom buck looks like he has a huge head and big ole Roman nose. Sorry you missed the "PIG", at least you have seen a few monsters still roaming this year. :)
How far away was the big one? Do you use a range finder?
Congrats to the crew. =D>

After seeing Fred's buck, I wished I hadn't passsed on him earlier. He really was a unique buck that was aged about 8 years old. Thanks for comments guys, I really am glad you all enjoy the photos. Hopefully I'll be posting up some hog photos in the near future.
Yup, we're all from this crazy place (CA). :1 We've bow hunted together for almost 20 years and have a good time together.
Not a lot of deer, but some good ones.
