i grew up right next to the desert unit and drew the tag in 2004 and still ended up not taking a real giant buck out of there, big bucks are not easy to come by in the desert unit but they are there(missed a 190+ typical)

things aren't looking good for sidedrifter! unless he can find a good buck in the next 2 days, he's coming home with a DESERT TAG. I'm sure he's a little frustrated this year, since he came home from Alberta with his tag as well!!!!

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Heard of lots of bucks shot, seen a few. Sounds like all good solid bucks for the most part so far. Have not heard of any "Monsters" though.

No monster but this is the buck that I took out of Desert A this year.  Posted him about  week ago.  Taxidermist scored him at 167 and 6/8

Thanks.   

 My biggest worry with that tag was shooting too early vs. passing on a buck that I would regret. 

Very happy with this guy.

Heard of a missed opportunity on a 15X15 out there a couple days ago, would sure like to see that toad.

Hachhooo*censored*......there isn't even a hunter that can count that high :chuckle: Run out of fingers and toes at 20, maybe a few of us have 6 fingers and toes but that's still only 24. 

Sorry Phool, couldn't resist.   :chuckle:
