It is hard to take a pic of this to make it look good not hanging fron the ceiling lit up.

Archery Javelina Sucess!

For the second year in a row Skyler has arrowed one of those awesome little animals called a Javelina.  Hunting Javelina with kids is awesome and even better when those kids are using a bow and arrow.  After about five stalks where the wind decided to blow the opposite direction at the exact wrong time, or a spooked whitetail blew the heard out before we have a chance.  It finally happened, a 30 yard shot and 10 yard blood trail.

The two blade Rage did its job!!

Skyler is shooting 43 pounds and the two blade rage went through both shoulders and created a huge entry and exit hole.  The hole you see in the picture is the entry hole.  I am a big beliver in the two blade rage and the way it performed with his low draw weight.

2011 AZ Sheep Results are Final here are the numbers!

I have some Javelina stuff to share and get caught up on but first here are the 2011 Final Sheep Results that so many of us want to see for the past year.

Mexico Bighorn Sheep Down!

This is a friend that I have known for a long time and is an avid hunter.  This is a brief comment about the hunt that came in the email to me "I harvested this nice critter just across the border in Mexico last week on the 9^th day of a 10 day hunt.  It was very grueling on the eyes and legs! J  I brought my bow down with great expectations but after few sheep were spotted for 5 days it was decided to use one of their weapons in camp and on day 9 I was able to sneak to within 90 yards and put my 1^st sheep in the books.

He’s classic for this area and about average in size at 161” B&C.  They had so much rain in Nov and December that food was all over and had most of the sheep very high and in little hide-e-holes.  We had to climb significantly and search to get to them!  I was the lucky one who spotted this ram after glassing back to a canyon we had just glassed.  It made for a cool end of the hunt!"

Awesome Job Kevin!!  A huge congrats on a beautiful sheep.  Got to love those Mexico red horns.

Ram down!

I just got back from the Arizona Desert hunting desert Bighorn sheep.  Here are a couple pics to start with until I can get everything in order and get the rest of the pics up and get the video edited.   We shot this ram at 504 yards.  It was an awesome hunt with some great people.

I know me on a horse is a little scary.

Huge Desert Sheep with a bow!

Kevin Slone completed his goal of taking a huge Desert Sheep with his bow and arrow.  After beating the odds and finally drawing the tag of a life time the quest had begun.  Here are some of the pictures his brother Rick was texting me as they found the sheep.  After discussing the probable score of the ram the stalk was on, an hour later the ram finally presented Kevin with the shot he was looking for.  With the steep angle the compensating range finder said 47 yards and the arrow hit its mark.  Congrats Kevin on a awesome sheep with your bow, your the man!!

This awesome Ram green scored 175 Gross and 172 4/8 net.  After the 60 day drying period this ram will be high in the record book.

Sheep update Part 1-No kill yet!!

We are back for a couple days to get some work caught up, before heading back down.  The weather was a little challenging to say the least.  We had found three awesome rams prior to season and none of these rams we found during our latest trip to sheep country.  We put over 80 miles on the horses and saw a fair amount of sheep with the largest being in the 160 range.  Here are a couple pictures of some of the rams we encountered these last days since the hunt started.

I will keep you updated on the progress of the hunt.  This unit is very tough with very little access and lots of huge cut up country with out a lot of sheep.

8 for 8...2011 Early Season Deer Success!

Here is a short recap of the early season success we have had to date.  I will post video and additional pictures soon.  This is just a short recap of the 2011 early season for deer.  It is sheep time soon and we have been scouting.  Check back for additional info on the deer and sheep!!!  The hunt started with Koury Guide Service going 4 for 4 in the Junior hunt.  I do not have a picture of the buck Garrett Linn killed on this computer, I will update as soon as I get to my other computer.

Then we moved into the early season general hunt!

Dinah Esparza killed one of the bucks we had watched for a couple of years as it grew into a awesome buck.

Look at the mass on this great deer, along with a little dropper. Did I mention 4 inch eye guards that split?

Then not to be out done the rest of the Esparza Family had to step up.  Four days later and a lot of hours behind the binoculars these two fine bucks walked over the hill at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Then Sandi got her turn at the trigger.  After alot of pressure on the deer we were hunting we moved to a very remote spot in the unit.  After glassing up a buck we thought would go in the high 190's the stalk was on.  Here is the buck from the video we took before starting the stalk.

Unfortunately this buck was shot just as we were sitting up for the shot.  Congrats to the hunter! The buck was reported to score 206, these pictures due this buck no justice he is huge.

The last day of her hunt found us stalking a large 4x4 in the mid 180's.  After moving on the buck he escaped out the bottom of the draw.  While looking for him we glassed up the buck Sandi killed at 279 yards. The kill shot is awesome on this buck.

Then last but not least Lavell hunted a buck we have named HUGO!  We have also watched this buck for a couple years.

Check out the picture of Hugo and Skyler's buck together in velvet, what a sight!

Here is a picture of Hugo from last year!

And a couple from this year in velvet!

Congrats to all the hunters and a big thanks for making our 2011 early deer season a huge success!
