What a Beautiful Buck. Love it!

I have vast experience pm me

My father killed in southern Utah I will post on a separate page.

It all starts with the confirmation of a tag drawn. I have recently changed jobs and it allows me a few days to Hunt archery now. Before that I had to hunt the late draw. I have filled many late tags but enjoy the rut. So I had one day of work and had to get home. Working in the agriculture industry it tough to get time off in September. Scouted several timein the area and my good friend Jay watched and hunted these elk during the previous cow hunt. After a mile walk in, I spotted this bulk cutting cows away from the herd bull After a blown encounter on a wide sweep left by a rogue bunch of cows I regrouped And got in between the herd bull and this bull. After watching him rake a tree I made my move to 42 yards and put it behind the shoulders. The single bevel broad head cut a huge swath and he did not go 50 yards. Thanks again to Lance Crowther and Cory Mellon for the pack out help.

I was on the hunt last year in July and August. The week prior to my father and brother in law getting to camp they killed almost all of the tags. The hunt they were on I believe they killed 2 of 12. Wet weather ruins this hunt. Also you should know a little more about Russ Jacoby and how this whole thing goes down. Basically you can pay or not. Russ and his guides assign blinds for you to hunt. If one person kills they try to put another hunter in the blind and repeat this process as often as the heard stays. Last year a non paying customer shot his cow and failed to radio in to Brian that buffalo we're at the salt. So he screwed it up for the rest of the group. Russ will take your money and he will also let non-paying clients use the blinds as well. That's is BS. If you pay 4/5K to use Russ don't you think non paying customers should go to the back of the line? This whole premise is that the salt blocks and blinds Russ sets up are the only blinds that should be used and he should control the whole hunt. Well I would say if you want to DIY. You should set up your own blind and salt and be able to sit in your own spot. But they assure you that going as a group helps , well it may but one mess up or bad apple on the hunt will screw everything. IMO there should be no guides on the late summer hunt. Spring hunts are another story. In the summer almost all of the herd was in the park. I walked many miles only to find 100's of buffs in the park and only a handful coming off to salt. Take this info as a block of salt. You will sit 100's if hour in a blind. Don't get too prepared for a summer hunt. If anything get used to sitting in a chair in a dark room. Buy books, games for your phone, magazines. That's what you will need, not gear or any other expensive stuff.

I heard 25 yards with The old bow and arrow, Low 180's And what a ram he character outshadoes score any day

Well I believe it's all over with this ram was killed yesterday Who guessed the score?

Last night had 5 does and a big fork together. Had him at full draw but let him walk. But still no bucks truly pushing the does.

Same thing is happening in Yuma area as well.
