Awesome Buck,good luck in the contest,I voted for you also.

308 nut,You are right onwith your post,what it comes down to ,is you and the animal.I also love the phrase"horn porn"!!!!

Shane,Thanks for saying exactly what I was going to say about 4A.Friends and I have shot alot of elk out of 4 as we have hunted it since the mid 70's with a bow.The biggest was a 350 bull with most 260-300.These are nice bulls,it's very easy to get wound up in the score,or talk about 380-400 bulls when you are pecking at the keyboard.Enjoy the hunt and shoot a nice 6 pointand be happy!!!!

It seems to me like George is a stand up guy.He turned down a chance at 100 grand to buy 2 pistols,and 2 rifles a week to give a friend a chance to send his kids to school.Sounds like a great guy to me.Alot could be learned here.Just my 2cents worth.Cliff

Leave it alone and quit trying to micromanage!!!!!!

Great story Amanda,we were up there the first hunt,and met Dewey.His traditional bow,and arrows are awesome!!!He told us that he got a javelina on the rez with his setup,and that he would try for a turkey on the second hunt.Congrats to you on a fine bird.Cliff

As was stated shoot a bull that you will be happy with.There are so many people that get tied up with score.It's between you and the animal,score only matters when you have no picture to relate the size of the animal.Hunt hard,have fun,and go home knowing that you did your best.Congrats on drawing a great hunt.I would say that I might run into you except I drew my first choice.It's been 5 years, but I'm going Elk hunting!!!!

Amanda,I was really dragging my lip until I found out it was an April fool joke!!!!!!If you want to tar and feather him,I'll help.Cliff

I have read the book,and as was stated,he was quite the character.He grew up in Dewey,Humbolt.His dad,Fred has passed on,but his mother is still teaching engraving at Yavapai College in Prescott.

This is reall a sad story,when you wasn't even out of your car actually hunting.I have heard several stories in the last few years,that make me shake my head in disbelief.Just because you get a ticket,doesn't mean that you deserve it.I will have to plead my case in front of a judge.SORRY!!!!!

Very nice pictures,If I can draw a sheep tag I wanted to know if it would be ok to hang a tree stand on your porch post?

Nice Bucks,Thanks for sharing.Put together very nice-Great background music!!!!

Awesome pictures,Thanks for letting us drool!!!

Any unit from Quemado to Magdelena is great.Book heads here.

Just booked a hunt to Namibia with Dries Visser.We leave June 28,go to Etosha National Park for 3 days,and on to a 7 day hunt.Going for Zebra,Impala,Warthog,Kudu,Gemsbok,and whatever else my pocketbook can stand!!!!!!

Ilene,Congrats on a great hunt.I just wired more money to Dries Visser yesterday for my trip in July.Everyone that I talk to says beware because Africa is very addictive.Great write up, thanks for posting.Cliff

It's not bad,maybe between a spotted owl,and a bald eagle!!!!!!Ha Ha

My Mr. Heater works great in my travel trailer.Go ahead and buy the in line filter,and use a big tank.You will love it!!!!

In reply to condor if it is legal to bring back pickup heads?No sheds,and no pickup heads.

Very interesting reading about the Big 10 club and also Curtis Prock.As noted the Big 10 was started by Bob Householder who was the editor of the magazine"Arizona Wildlife Sportsman".The youngest hunter to complete the Big 10 was Ricky Coughlin who lived here in Peeples Valley.He was 19 years old when he drew his sheep tag in the early to mid 1960's.Nathan Ellison was good friends with Rick,and guided him to bear,lion,and also coues deer.Ricky had cystic fibrosis,and died at 26.His trophy room is still intact,with Rex Maughan being the owner of it and the old Coughlin ranch.As far as Curtis Prock goes he was convicted of turning lions loose out of cages [canned hunts],and wasn't supposed to guide again in Ariz.in the 1960's

Great Job,Pretty neat to stalk him on the ground,and kill him with your bow!!!!

Great story Jim,Congrats to you and your brother.Story and pictures are well put together.Also I like the part where you were starting to doubt the shot,have a little faith,say a prayer,and look what happened!!!Great Job,Cliff

I am going down on Tuesday for the fourth or fifth time with Mexafari outfitters.Javier would have the tags that you want.Amanda and I went last Dec.a year ago.It is a great time,and the hunting is great!!!My buddy killed a buck last year that was 121.Amanda has killed bucks over 100,as I have.Go to there website,and check out the non typical that was killed 2 years ago that scored in excess of 170!!!!!If you need any info let me know or talk to Amanda.Cliff
