Let me start by saying that any hunt that I have with my boys is always a favorite of mine and this was no exception. We have been beyond blessed when it comes to drawing this hunt. Having watched his brother shoot two bucks on it in the past my youngest was chomping at the bit to have his...

As I said before, Wes had a great year in 2022. His hot streak extended into Colorado for his 4th season deer tag. I spent way too many hours this year trying to secure reissue deer tags for my boys being that we were unlucky in the colorado draw, but it was worth it. I ended up snagging Wes...

Hunts with my two boys are by far my favorite and always the most memorable. 2022 was no different. My son had drawn a rifle elk tag, his first. To say that he was excited was an understatement. Bull elk have always been his weakness. Opening day found us hunting our ranch in hopes that...

For the first time in 2 years my target buck was slightly less nocturnal. He had a pattern where he would pass my camera on his way to our alfalfa field usually within the last 10 minutes of light. I built a blind just off of the trail he was using in hopes that I would get my shot at him. As...

With all of the chatter about E-PLUS and a 90/10 split on tags, I thought I would pick a unit and go through the numbers. As with all of these exercises we have some assumptions, so the numbers are not EXACT, but they give you an idea of what some of these changes would equate to. Secondly the...

My youngest boy drew the muzzy hunt on the valles caldera this year. As you can guess, we were all super excited for this hunt. I have been taking my boys to watch elk there since they were babies. Finally we were going to be able to hunt inside the fence. Most of the big bulls that we had...

My good buddy Cody Lujan drew a good deer tag with us this year. This muzzy hunt is one of my favorites. Its a tough hunt, lots of scouting and hard glassing, but the reward is big muley bucks. This was our taget buck, as our #1 buck was talken by an archery hunter. I hadn't seen him for a...

My youngest son finally drew some tags this year. He had a youth muzzy tag and we were stoked. Here are some of the bucks that we were targeting. Opening morning we located the goofy horned buck and made several long stalks on him with no shots. We went back to look for the buck with big...

I bought an antelope tag for my girl since she struck out in the draw. This was her first hunt for antelope and we were both excited to make memories. This was the buck that we were targeting. On the first morning, we found him bedded on a ridge, we made a long stalk on him closing the...

Kinda late posting this, but its been a busy 2 months! My son had the off range hunt for the month of August. It was hot and muddy, but so much fun! We had a few close calls with Oryx much larger than the one he ended up killing. We were in them everyday, on the second weekend that we could...

Talk about an amazing week in the woods! We had an amazing hunt, he passed on 39 bucks in 6 days, not including any forkies. We chased 3 giants, the smallest being a mid 190's kind of buck with matching kickers. The other two were slammer bucks both over that magic 200 mark. We couldn't pass...

After waiting for FOREVER to draw this tag, I had high expectations for the buck I wanted to kill. After passing on lots of bucks I shot this buck on the evening of the 4th day. Raining like hell, made for quite the challenge keeping the gun dry, but it was all worth it when my second biggest...

Big congrats to my little buddy Peyton on his first bull elk! He drew the Caldera Muzzy hunt this year, a pretty special hunt for a 16 year old. After a long summer of scouting and anticipation, it was finally here. Saturday morning we easily saw 200 elk, 12 bulls over 340, big bull fever got...

The hunting gods smiled on me this past weekend. I was on my way to shoot a 340 bull, which would have been my best to date, when my good buddy Jon called me off the gun. He told me to wait because there was a 350 type 7X7 with the 340 that I couldn't see and he was headed my way. I never...

Another awesome hunt shared with my kids and father. Too bad the boys went home before he killed one, but happy he finally connected! Some bucks we were trying to kill. One my dad missed! Photos courtesy of Elksniper. Nice thing about antelope is you can pack them out in one trip...

Another license year has come and gone, with the 2013 license year upon us let look back at how everyones 2012 went. The first hunt for me was spring turkey with my little guy, no bird killed but had fun. Then it was a Rio in Texas The summer was spent scouting a lot for my muzzleloader...

Here are some pics from a Gator hunt me and a buddy went on over the weekend. It was a pretty cool hunt, more fun than I expected. Could have done without the snakes falling from the trees and creatures of the night, but at least no snakes fell into our boat, not too sure my heart could handle...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-27-12 AT 02:19PM (MST)[p]A long awaited hunt has come and gone. I decided to take my oldest boy (6) on his first real big game hunt. I bought an antelope tag from a long time family friend and figured it would be a great way to break my little guy in. My boy has been asking...

This past weekend Paul from Imperial Taxidermy and me went to hunt some exotics in Texas. It was my first run with these critters and it was a blast!! We shot 2 Watusi Bulls and Paul shot an Axis Buck and I shot an Axis Doe. I shot my Watusi with my muzzleloader, those things are tough! With...

After much anticipation dad got his buck home yesterday. Hats off to Paul and Vince at Imperial once again! They knocked it out of the park on this one. The detail they put into a commercial mount is what sets them apart. While I was there I decided to take some pictures of the...

Here are some photos of the buck that we shot on our management hunt in NW NM. Saw a ton of elk and deer, including some really good bucks. This buck fit the bill, because of a weakish left MB and front forks. We guessed him at 6.5 to 7.5 years old. He is 29 wide, 19.5 tall. I would guess...

Took my little guys out to have a dinner picnic and watch the elk do what they do. Seems like the rut is a little slow, like the rest of the state. The muzzleloader and rifle hunters should have a hunt to remember. Should be the peak of the action. It was pretty awesome to hear...

Here is a link to my safari, posted in the New Mexico Forum. http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID34/3702.html

Africa is freaking AWESOME! I cant wait to go back. I loved every minute of my safari, except that darn flight. 4 of us went on a 7 day plains game safari, we ended up with 27 animals. I went in thinking it was going to be "fish in a barrel" but I was completely wrong, it was tougher than I...

Here are some pics of my buck from the muzzy hunt in 52. What a great hunt, beautiful country, some big goats, and great friends. We saw some really good bucks that just stayed out of range. I passed 10 bucks on saturday and some this morning. As soon as I saw my buck I knew I wanted to try...

PJHUNTER and me finally were able to get up in the woods to check our camera. The camera did not survive the fire. We opened the box and found a heap of melted plastic. But to our surprize the sd card survived. Here are some of the last pictures before it died. Its pretty amazing...

My 5 year old has been hounding me about getting out to look at some elk and deer, so we got up early and drove to the caldera. Plus I wanted to see what the fire had done. Up and ready to go with out coffee, oh man I remember the days, he even made it to mom and dads bed last night so I...

Here are some pics of the ram I shot on Sunday. We saw a ton of sheep, mainly rams, in the four days we were hunting. I couldn't be happier with my ram, he is 29.5 on the horn that isn't broken. We counted 11 rings on him, its always nice to take out an old warrior like this guy. Special...

Here are a few photos from a management hunt I scored for my pops. This ranch is CRAZY! Our "management buck" scored 185 & 6/8. We saw a ton of 160-180 bucks that will be bruisers in a few years. Our two biggest bucks were a 240-260 NT and a 205-210 Typical. I hope we get to shoot another...

Paul from Imperial asked me to post his pics from his muzzy hunt on the McGregor range a few weeks ago.

I am kind of posting this late but me and dad bought some speed goat tags. We shot 2 of the bigger bucks from the ranch. It was awesome to see my dad so excited to shoot something. That made the hunt for me and Jared.

It seemed like it would never get here but it has come and gone in a bat of an eye. This was the BEST public land elk hunt I have ever been on. It was my first Gila tag and I wanted to make the best of it. My buddy HC and Omar drew as well so we had 3 slammer tags to fill. The elk were hot...

Here are some pics of my bull from a couple of years ago. Special thanks to Paul and Vin over at Imperial Taxidermy for the awesome addition to my collection. I'm running out of room in my home, looks like I need to start to save for a man cave...

Here are some photos of my whitetail from last year. Out of all of the work that the guys at Imperial have done for me, this is my favorite. Here are some photos of a buck my little buddy shot last year on the pecos youth hunt.

Here are some pics of our Texas hunt. We had a great time again, this year the guys from Imperial Taxidermy went with us everyone had a great time.

PJHNTR and I went out to check out the muley rut action in northern NM. We saw about 40 bucks yesterday, most of them pushing does, most of them being in the 140-160 range, and 2 big boys. Here are a few pics. Here is a pic of a smaller buck.

Here are the pics of the buck my dad shot this morning in 2C. It was a private land only tag. Short and sweet, Im glad dad got this guy but man I wish we were still out there. The rut was just kicking in. This buck was with 13 does, and he was running them around like crazy. It was my first...

Here is a picture of me with the buck that my buddy shot in 52 this weekend. We saw 20 different bucks, this being the 2nd largest. We spotted him on Saturday night with our biggest buck, found them on Sunday morning but they were already in the trees, so we left them for the evening hunt. We...
