KC shoots on the last day!

KC and Sunny were hunting together on a 2x1 with my guide Todd G.  KC had already killed a 400 inch elk with his bow so his sights were set high, so high that he passed on a couple of 370+ bulls just hoping to find that neddle in the hay stack.  He did have one thing in his favor, his guide Todd finds and kills huge bulls every year and after watching Sunny kill the bull he did opening morning KC could only hope.  After 6 1/2 days of hunting and a flight back out to Georgia the next afternoon KC decided to fill his tag with best friend right on his side.  Great job!!!

 

The big split G3 Bull.

Next on the release was Damion.  We had hunted quite a few days just waiting for the right bull to show it self.  Two days earlier he drew on a huge bull but just could not get the shot off before the walk behind his cows and decided to leave.  As dark was approaching fast we closed the distance on three bulls bugling hopeing one was the bull that had escaped us and as we meet face to face I could see we had just found the forked G3 bull that a buddie of mine had videoed in velvet and a different buddy have videoed just days prior over 5 miles away.  A well placed shot and the bull fell in sight.  Awesome shot and awesome bull Damon.



Skyler Koury's 3A-3C Big 6x7!

So one day after Steffens kills the brothers are back at it trying to fill Skylers tag.  Yes both brothers had tags, what luck.  This story is going to be combined with Steffens in The Huntin Fool.  All I am going to say is it is never good when you get the call at prime time in the morning and your child is crying saying he shot the wrong elk in the fight.  Yes most adults would do a back flip to kill his elk and he is crying cause he shot the wrong elk as two bulls fought 20 yards in front of them.  Great elk Brothers.  You make dad proud.



Steffen Koury's 3A-3C Giant!

Most adults only dream of killing a bull elk over 400 inches much less with a bow and arrow.  Well Steffen at the age of 16 did just that and to make it better he did it just the help of 14 year old little brother.  I am not going to say anything else about this bull and the hunt since it will be on the cover of The Huntin Fool here soon.  All I can say is AWESOME job boys...



The Big Kicker Bull. And the amazing 6x6.

Jed and Ian both drew archery elk tags last year, so Jed gave up the guiding role and took on the hunter role.  I am not going to say alot about these two bulls since Jed is making a video of the two hunts.  All I am going to say is great job gentelman hard work does pay off.

Over 800 inches of horn in two bulls..



7X8 Down.

I got the call from guide Ken O. that they had just closed the distance and made a great shot on awesome 7x8 bull elk.  Our season was just starting and two great elk down with the old stick and string.  A huge congrats to J.D. on his first elk with a bow and arrow.

Opening day success!!

Sunny made the trip from Georgia to hunt the giant elk AZ is know for.  After passing on a couple great bulls early opening morning this great bull gave him an opportunity and Sunny made the best of it.  This bull has the extra on the right side near the top of the rack.  Sunny came to AZ hoping to kill a 350+ P&Y bull elk and top that mark by a long ways.  Great job Sunny!! What a way to start the elk season with this bull as the first one killed really raised the stakes for the rest of the 14 day hunt.

Time to catch up on a lot of hunting!

Koury Guide Service has been extremely busy and has been killing some huge animals.  We killed multiple bulls over the magical 400 P&Y number and some great Mule Deer in Unit 3A-3C with bucks scoring over 180 B&C.  Stay tuned for the updates to start.  Here is a little teaser of what's to come.

Huge Archery Coues Deer Down!

Josh Esparza one of Koury Guide Services guides harvested a deer of a lifetime on opening morning of the archery deer hunt.  This buck grosses right at 120 P&Y.  The mass is insane.  The first three mass measurments on each side are just under 7 inches a piece.  Great job Josh. Now on to killing big elk.

New Velvet Bucks Everyday!

It seems that every time I check my cameras I have some more deer that I had not seen yet this year.  The archery hunt in 3A-3C is looking good for this year.  Here are some of the new bucks that have just showed up.
