I just got a picture from Brian,  he is the hunter we guided that killed the Antelope we named Flare.  His mount is already done and looks very nice hanging on the wall.  Check out they way Flare looked from years back to many years into the future.

Kaibab beauty!!

While hunting with my wife and boys on the the East side Kaibab early hunt this year, we saw numerous good bucks and one really awesome buck.  We glassed this buck up from about 1800 yards away with five other bucks.  Once I quit taking video of the buck the hunt was on.  We had to cross a large canyon then we would have an approx 300 yard shot at this awesome buck.  Long story short this buck was shot seconds before we were pulling the trigger by another hunter.  I told her "Thats a chance you take while hunting public land", she informed me that was easy for me to say since it was not my tag and then "smiled".  Many of you probably saw the kill photos of this awesome deer.  The funny thing is I had a kill photo sent to my phone with in 24 hours of watching him get shot.  Everything I saw about the deer they were saying he scored a little over 200 B&C.  Congrats to the hunter.
Here are a couple still photos.

Here is a short video clip of the buck.

Deer Horn Chandelier!

We sold our house and this deer horn Chandelier will not fit anymore.  This real deer horn Chandelier has over 25 horns, it is four feet wide at the bottom and about three and a half feet tall.  We bought it for $3500 and not longer have room since our home sold.  I will sell for $2250.  Call or email Shane for more details.

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.
