A couple big muleys
« on: March 02, 2009, 09:06:30 AM »
Here are a couple of bucks shot with my buddy's outfitting business.  These two are around 34".  One is a 190" and the other is a 206".

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Sure look like Sonora bucks to me...... Especially the pic of the dead buck and the rack with the Sonora tag on it! Great bucks!

Pretty easy to recognize rack structure.  They only grow like that one place in the world!

I didn't go because I couldn't justify the money with the current economic state....... :bash:.  They killed a bunch of 30 - 35" bucks this year, though.

I think you may have given the information in another thread, but I can't remember.  Who is the outfitter?  Do they have a web-site?

I know some guys that went with a different outfitter and they did not fare as well. They paid $8,000 and came back with bucks that might go 180 gross. All three had uneven racks and looked like they might net in the low 160s......

No, I did not go.  Couldn't justify the money.....I could, but my wife couldn't!  I am a newly-wed and am still in the break-in process.

Great bucks! That buddy of yours didn't happen to be or still is part time a contractor from around Gig Harbor is he? A buddy of mine, says he knows a guy that guides down in Sonora and is or was a general contractor from my area. Just curious. Id love to get down there some day.

Oh man, good luck with that!  My experience is that it is only gonna get worse... :chuckle:
