Sheep pictures and more!

With the draw results out its time to start looking at some sheep pictures and get ready for the up coming fun in the desert this December.  Congrats to all that drew those awesome tags.  Here are some of the live photos we have taken the past two years.  I will post the pictures of the rams we have harvested in the past couple years in another post.  Enjoy the pictures!!!

That is a very picture heavy post.  Hope you enjoy the photos, there many more to come.

Limited opp. Scout Trip -2. The Pretty vs Ugly!!

We have now found another decent bull that three weeks ago was flying solo.  Now the "knuckle head" has moved into the group with the pretty 6x6.  To me it's a no brainer but Skyler is having trouble deciding cause he like no typical type racks.  I have found another very large track a distance from these two bulls so after I fly the area real heavy hopefully I will find a no brainer so both these bulls live another day.. We will keep you updated..
Here are some pictures of the two bulls together.

Another angle!!

Here is some video of the bulls all together and a lot better look at "knuckle head"

I have also been scouting unit 3c heavy and have seen some really good bulls.  I will be posting some of the pictures and video of them real soon.  Also with the AZ draw out again "congrats to all the lucky sheep and deer hunters".

Limited Opportunity Elk Hunt.

With about a month to go before Skyler's limited opp. elk hunt we found a bull that will work if a larger bull is not found.  This elk is just a nice looking 6x6, nothing special but a great elk for a 12yr old to shoot in velvet in a limited opp. hunt.  Here are a couple stills from the video.

Here is some video of the larger bull!

Clay Mine Legend!

Sorry for the lack of post over the last little while.  It has been very busy with Little League and now All Star little league.  The forest have been closed to entry, but the monsoons have arrived and the forests have been opened again. So now it time to kick up the pre-season scouting.

This is a bull that we had watched for years but never had a chance to kill him in his prime.  This bull was well over 400 as a straight 6x6 in his prime.  The year he was killed by Nathan Garvin he had lost a lot of bone from the previous year.  I had opted not to hunt the bull this year.  It is just a shame when you see a bull loose so much horn in one year.  Nathan did not hunt the bull early in the season either and then after the hunt got hard and the elk almost quit talking completely Nate decide to go look for the Clay Mine Bull.  Just a couple hours later he had put an arrow in the the old legend.  Congrats Nate.

Here are a couple stills from the video of the Clay Mine Bull in prior years.
