Hey all, Been enjoying all of the great discussions for many years and finally decided to join. Been in Arizona 9 years now brought here kicking and screaming from Michigan by my lovely wife. I quickly fell in love with this incredible state and have harvested many animals in those years. This year my good buddy and I drew 22 south muzzleloader elk tags, him for the first time and my second. Killed a great bull in there in 2014 so was very excited to get back. We ran 12 cameras all summer and felt like we knew what our expectations should be. We had one bull in particular we were targeting we named El Diablo. We figured he'd go close to 370 and we kept tabs on him all the way up to 2 days before our hunt. Opening day came and we went to where we figured he was living but only turned up a handful of satellite bulls. Day 2......On the second morning I had an old bull with huge 3rds and 4ths at 185 yards and the temptation was to great so I dropped the hammer. Spent the rest of that day with 4 buddies packing him out. Day 3......my buddy and another friend headed to a spot that always had a herd with a great bull and I slept in recovering from the packout. At daybreak we had multiple bulls screaming outside of camp. I grabbed my binos and quickly found a big herd bull pushing cows around. Got a hold of my buddy and after an hour of cat and mouse in 6' Manzanita he dropped the hammer at 35 yards. Spent the rest of the day packing him out. Day 4....we spent the morning of day 4 cutting up and packaging elk as well as dropping off the 4 quarters to a processor in Payson. That evening we decided to go see if we could find El Diablo. We didn't locate him but found another great bull. We had a camp of two guys down the road from us with on gentleman from Wyoming having a tag. I offered to take him in to try and kill that bull the next day and a plan was made. Day 5.......we left before daylight and hiked into the mountain I wanted to start calling from. At light I called in a decent bull but no shot opportunity. I had a bull screaming across the canyon and he sounded mature so we took off. As I got closer I got eyes on him and realized it was El Diablo. He bedded with his cows just out of sight so we found shade and waited him out. At 1 pm he got up to move and Bill dropped the hammer. He had no idea what he killed but I did. After lots of celebration we packed him out and I put a tape to him....366". What a trip!!!!!!

We currently have a litter of German shorthair pups. 1 male, 3 females. We are excited for this litter for many reasons. Duke and Bella are both healthy dogs, Duke (liver and white) weighing in around 55 pounds and Bella (black and white) around 40 pounds. Both are ground pounders and noses that will find game birds. Duke trialed for a couple years in Arizona and Texas for NSTRA. We did well and he handles like a well oiled machine. Bella is almost broke. Her heat came right about the time we were starting to get serious about finishing and thinking about force fetch. Both of these dogs have temperaments that are amazing. Family dogs when not hunting is how we raise our dogs. Smart, loving, energetic, and loves all (including strangers). We are asking $600 for males and $700 for females to CWT members only. The pups will be AKC registered. Duke comes from the Crosswind Truckin Fritz (16X NSTRA Champion) line. Bella has Rockin G's Warhead (4X NSTRA Champion) lines. Please let me know if you are interested. Always available for questions if needed. Thanks for the interest.
