    2022 Fall Season

    Had a great 2022 season, and finally had some luck in the draw. It had been a long time since I drew and elk tag, and the first time my son and I drew together. We made the most of it with a couple of nice muzzy bulls. We managed to kill these bulls a day apart within 100 yards of one...

    2018 Hunts

    Well, looks like 2018 is a wrap. Wish I could do it all over again. It's amazing how much time and preparation occurs on the off-season, and how fast the actual season goes by. But, a lot of really incredible days in the field with family, making memories I'll never forget. It started with...

    NM muzzy buck

    Finally got around to posting this. Didn't draw again, but did manage to pick up a leftover tag this year. Packed in a few miles to get away from the crowds. Got this buck the evening of opening day after watching him for quite a while that morning. Pretty surprised he was still in velvet in...

    NM muzzy mulie & KS muzzy whitetail

    Thought I'd share some of my success from this season. I didn't draw any tags in NM this year, but still managed to have a good season. I had bought a leftover muzzleloader deer tag and was able to fill my tag opening morning on this little buck. Being how bad my luck is on mule deer, I had...

    Brother's State Land Buck

    After striking out in the draws for any fall hunts, my brother John, nephew Cody, and myself decided to pick up a leftover deer muzzie tag. As busy as I had been, I had a hard time getting excited for this hunt that I had very low expectations for. But, being that my brother had been out of...

    What was the first big game animal you killed?

    Just to kill time before the drawing results... My first big game animal was this little pronghorn buck. 1984 near Clayton, NM. I was 11 years old. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/nmtaxi/84ant1.jpg

    Good Start to 2015

    After a pretty un-eventful 2014, my son got things started pretty quick in early January, 2015. He is a Marine stationed at the Marine Barracks in Washington D.C., and was able to find some decent hunting opportunities in the area. It's a whole different kind of hunting out in Maryland, mostly...

    Latir Bighorn Ewe

    Well... I guess I'm going to be one of those guys. I drew the Latir ewe tag with my third choice. I'm actually pretty darn excited to be hunting sheep this fall, even though it's not for a big ram. I haven't been in the Latir myself. Really I'm just trying to figure out if this hunt is...

    HUGE NM Antelope

    Saw this guy in NM on my way to Wyoming for an antelope hunt. Left a trail of cookies from where he was at to my unit in WY hoping he would follow. $1500 worth of Chips-Ahoy for nothing.

    Junior/Senior Wyoming Antelope

    My son is a senior in high school this year, and the one hunt he really wanted to do before shipping out to the Marine Corp next June was a Wyoming antelope hunt. It really was a blast. After and 11 hour drive, my son got this big mature buck just 10 minutes into the hunt. He just could not...

    Where does the time go?

    It seems like just yesterday I was posting photos of my son's first hunt. He was 10, and we had the most incredible weekend of turkey hunting I've ever experienced. Now my son is getting ready to enter his senior year of high school. Today I went downtown to MEPS to watch him get sworn into...

    2012 Off-range oryx

    After a horrible 2011 hunting season, this year started off right. My son had his youth off-range oryx hunt start on Friday. Thursday night we headed south with expectations of long, dusty miles, hot days, hours behind the glass, and burning through fuel like it was free. Friday morning was...

    Oryx Mount

    I finally got my 2004 off-range oryx finished. I can't believe it took me 7 years. This bull had the most scarred up cape I have ever seen. I assume it's from fighting, but it almost looked like it had been attacked by a mountain lion or someting. He had puncture wounds and gashes all over...

    Jr's mounts

    I finally got around to getting some of my son's mounts done. Here is his '09 Wyoming Antelope. This antelope had the biggest head and body I have ever seen. The buck scores around 76, but you would never know it sitting on this horse head. His 2010 elk. Fantastic hunt. This one didn't...

    What/when was your first big game animal?

    I've got a bad feeling.....

    After not drawing in CO with and 80% chance of pulling a tag, and no luck in March, I have a bad feeling about the upcoming draw. I'm usually pretty optimistic, but this year I just don't feel lucky. Oh well, there's always leftover antelope tags in WY and possibly deer in AZ. Good luck everyone.

    Jr's 2010 Bull Elk

    We had a great weekend hunting elk. My boy was able to connect on this great bull. While it was a good hunt, it was some what emotional without my dad. He had passed away just 5 weeks prior to the hunt. I'm sure he was with us every step of the way though. A big thank you to Stinkystomper...
