Javelina Fun!

This last weekend along with all the rain and fog found us hunting that awesome little animal called the Javelina.  Sandi had killed numerous Javelina with a gun so she looked for another method of killing one.  She decided to use a pistol that we have in a 22-250 caliber.  The first day was a little slow, the second day she missed, and on the third day she completed the task at hand.

Check out the awesome video of Sandi's Javelina hunt.

Check out the video of the hunt we went on the last day of the season, all goes well until the gun fires!  That's why they call it hunting and not killing.

244 Inch Monster Kaibab Mule Deer!

Jeremy Martinez guides for Koury Guide Service but this tag was his own.  Jeremy was lucky enough to draw the AZ Kaibab west side late tag in 2010.  After guiding elk hunters and Junior Mule deer hunters the time had come for him to get to hunt for himself.  After seeing this buck late on opening day the hunt was on.  Early on the second day the buck was located again and thankfully held still just long enough.  The entire story and more pictures will be in an upcoming issue of Muley Crazy. I don't want to ruin anything for Ryan by saying much more, so look for the upcoming issue.

Here is a little different angle of the buck!

Different angle!

Rogers Second Mexico Buck Over 110 B&C!

After hunting Old Mexico for the first time in his life he was hooked.  When Roger entered Old Mexico for the second time the stakes were higher.  While hunting hard for three days we had not seen a buck that we wanted to harvest.  After talking to some of the cowboys on our ranch we decided to hunt a part of the ranch that had not been hunted in years.  The next morning found us following the directions of the cowboy with his broken English and my poor Spanish we were a little lost.  Around 8:30 am I had found around 10 does on the same ridge we were on, after watching them walk away the most awesome sight ever stepped around a tree and looked right at us.  It was the most awesome buck ever this buck had it all, width, length, mass, over 5 points per side along with a 8 inch drop tine on the left side.  After this buck started to run we did not push on the buck since we had 4 more days to hunt the buck.  After returning to the ranch and talking to the cowboys it was an awful feeling.... This buck was not on our ranch!! Two days later I could finally glass again since I had been crying for two days and unable to glass (Just Joking, that is how I felt),  I had found a great buck on our ranch.  After shooting at a Mountain Lion in the morning this buck was in Rogers sights the same evening.  One well placed shot and Roger had just killed his second buck over 110 B&C.

Junior Mule Deer Hunt....

Cody was one of the Junior Mule Deer hunters we had this fall.  This is a great hunt for the kids to finally get to hunt a quality animal.  The hunt is not as good as it has been in the past but still has the capability of producing some nice bucks.  Cody could not hunt do to a test at school for the first morning, we were out looking for a buck I had found previous.  I guess we were not the only one that knew of the buck since the entire town was there when it got light.  That after noon found us glassing an area where we have killed many deer previous.  With in minutes we had located this group of bucks and the hunt was on.  After one shot the rest is history.. Here are some pictures of the great buck Cody killed.

Here is the video of the hunt for this great Mule Deer. Enjoy!

Archery hunting the 7x9 Kicker Bull!

I found this bull only days before the archery hunt was to start.  This made life a little easier since I did not have to baby sit this bull for very long before we could start hunting him.  My archery hunter and I decided this was the only bull we would attempt to kill.  Opening morning had us very close to the giant just no shot, this was the first time my hunter had seen this bull on the hoof.  After that we was even more determined to kill this bull.  Through out the week he heard me say "don't shoot" about 45 times on different elk in search of the kicker bull.  On day 5 we finally closed the distance and actually shot our first arrow, just a little high.  The very next morning found the bull on the opposite ridge and heading our way! Enjoy.  Here is a picture from the video of the kicker bull.
