I saw this bear mount the morning he called you to pick it up! Chris has a bear for me and i am half tempted to forget the rug and mount half life size! Your bear turned out Amazing and the pics do it no justice. Congrats on the mount of a lifetime!

Woohoo Dale! Congrats to the youngsters!!! Gotta love the doubled up pics

Great job Tim! Your look like one happy camper!

Take it back, Sports Authority took mine back after it mega failed me in Maui. Once in a lifetime trip ruined by the crappy thing. NEVER gopro again.

Intrested in the cot and lanterns!

Congrats on the new addition! Blessed

sweet!

My son and I located that bear sitting water on his jr elk hunt. After he killed his cow we went back and took pictures of him a day later. Figuring he had water and feed (acorns from a fresh stand of oaks) so he wouldn't be leaving any time soon. A few days later my 73 year old friend shot him in the exact canyon I told him to hunt. I wish I could say I had enough experience to educate further, but we were lucky. Calling is an effective measure as well. Many Blessings on your future Bear hunts!

After checking my buddies bear this year, the Game and Fish Biologist said arizona bears don't hibernate like those bears further north of the equater. Ours "den up" and move very little but do continue to move year round. Thought I would share

I double lunged my bull at 6o yards and missed high on a whitey at 10 yards. Buck was head down and oblivious to my existance but running up hill right at me. My deer FEVER butt dropped the 20 on his chest and zipped it over his back. It happens, most won't admit it. I am just thankful for the opportunity, Lord knows it was one of the coolest things I have experienced in the field. Welcome to the site

Pick your unit based upon her ability to travel through the cold and terrain. Some units are far more forgiving than others, 4b is a great starter unit IMO

I love seeing those youth grinning ear to ear! Happy to help and truly pleased that you were blessed with success! What a PIG! Kudos Elijah!!!

My thoughts exactly, nice find but hope you call in the parties responsible for his demise.

Great Buck Hoss! Dang that buck has some trash. Kudos on keeping it positive

Awesome stuff guys!

Great glassing man and the terrain looks unforgiving so don't beat yourself up over recovery time. Great looking country, thanks for sharing!

That's a lot of bacon right there! Kudos on the awesome archery trophy.

Great story and wonderful pics of the adventure! Congrats to the whole lot of ya!

Thanks Chef for the positive words of encouragement towards future outdoor adventures! I want to take him to Mexico for a desert Mule deer hunt for his 18th Birthday so 4 years from now I believe your a guy we might wanna know! Stay Blessed, Ken and Matt Meyers

Hi everyone, Thought I would share the story of Matthew's second successful cow hunt. This time the hunt was in 3a/c and we picked 3c to make our home for the weekend. Opening morning was frosty at 29 degrees and white as if it had snowed. We decided to chase some bugles and we were off and running, hopes and spirits on high we descended all the way down into a canyon only to lose the herd up a canyon we had no business trying to climb so out we packed back up the mountain to the truck. It's 1130 now and the poor kid is tucked after the 3.5 mile round trip jaunt we had just experienced, so back to camp for a refill of energy and we were back at it again. This time we wised up and found a ridge we could drive out on and possibly intersect the elk we had been tailing. Behold a sweet water hole is found and we set up on the east facing ridge among the oaks that were dropping fresh acorns. We were in their honey hole, beds and fresh sign everywhere. About an hour and a half goes by and we start to hear bugles again and they seem to be close. I threw a reed in my mouth and start to cow call and they responded. Matthew could not believe his eyes when after my fourth set of mews here comes 11 cow 3 bull and 4 fawn at 90 yards. Matthew is steadied on a tree stump with the Sig Sauer 270 ready to make it's mark. He asks if it's okay to take the last cow and I say yes she is a big cow and before the word cow left my mouth I was drowned out by the sound of the rifle going off. Thud, and she is off down the canyon! Matthew looks at me and say's, I can't believe you speak elk dad! I about chuckled out loud but I was mewing trying to settle the animal. Unfortunately the shot was about two inches high and just nicked one lung and passed through. She left us a meager trail at best but after 300 yards we spooked her up and down the canyon she goes, all the way to the bottom and starts up the other side and expires after Matt put a second round in her. 515 when we get to her and the race is on against the loss of light. Last quarter is hung from a tree at 710 pm and we packed out for dinner and bed for the next morning we would have to make two trips to pack her out. My son amazed me with straight will power to get her out of the canyon. I could not feel more blessed by the good Lord as he made sure our journey was safe. Over the next two days we helped other hunters glass, and even tracked a downed cow for another youth. For our efforts, Rich (grandfather to the shooter) invited us to dinner......Fried chicken, and it was amazing! All in all our families most successful year in the field yet! Thanks for reading, pictures are of the pack out!

Since we are putting each other on blast, maybe you should nock arrow when hunting with me lol! I can get rammy, especially when that buck about ran us over! I never mind missing clean due to nerves, reminds me how much I love hunting with each tremble! Thanks again Kevin for taking me out and showing me some great country, you guys really have them pegged! Wishing you both a successful season of shed hunting! Ken

Congrats on the monsters gentleman!!!

Awesome Bull right there, kudos on such a wonderfully successful first hunt!!! Can you tell us how it all went down?

Awesome Guys!
