Sweet
My dad met this guy while he was on an LDS mission in Ely Nevada in the mid 1980's. Dad made a little video of him that I watched a couple of times, but then I think he recorded over the video.
He had a few good bucks at his Ely house, but said most of his racks were in a shed at his house in Las Vegas. He said he had racks from more than 50 big bucks there, all over 36" wide, which was his definition of a big buck. He said he got most of them on the Arizona Strip, but he said it is too hard to get a tag there anymore. He said they usually hunted a place due south of Colorado City where they could winch a jeep off a cliff into a canyon, and then drive up the canyon a few miles to camp. He never saw a track from another hunter there. He said he could find two or three good bucks there every day, with a "good buck" being "36 inches on up".
I think the area in Arizona where he used to go is a wilderness area now, so you couldn't do that anymore. He said he also got several good ones in Nevada.
