Wow, nice buck..... I bet your heart was pounding when you saw that big guy coming through the trees. Queen Creek is south of the big Superstition mountain about 25 miles. The area out here is magical for hunting, if you get drawn for a tag. You have to apply for Deer, Elk, Sheep, Antelope, Bear, Buffalo, Sheep and Javalina. Mountain lion is over the counter. Coming back from a hunt with my nephew, I saw 2 Mule deer heads in the back of a small pickup. one side of the rack was well over the side of the truck, like huge, and this fall I saw an Elk rack sticking way up over a full size truck. My first Mule deer I saw was a doe, well over 200 lbs. , bouncing like you see on TV when I jumped her. I just stood there in awe watching. If you come to hunt, buy good binoculars for spotting, forget the spotting scopes unless you are trying for sheep. The amount of ground in national park for hunting is amazing, so huge, and you find ruins of early American Americans in many areas. The ground is covered with lots of stone, so walking is tough in many areas. Elevation is about 1500 ft. where I live, and 7,700 ft. where I took a pic of a bull Elk coming through a camp ground I was staying in. One huffs, and puffs some if you older like me. Happy New Years to you guys.
