No antelope for my family this year. Puts me at 10 bonus points and my dad at 16!!! Oh well I guess I will need to spend my time on my 7W archery bull hunt and my dads 6b late rifle bull hunt!!!! First elk tags in my family in 5 years!!!

While helping out the Arizona Elk Society at Cabelas Sunday a gentleman who worked a ranch in Mexico brought a buck up that he had killed this year while hunting with a 30-30. I was able get my picture taken with it and thought I would share it with everybody. Talk about a trophy of a lifetime.

I will be there. Actually I will be there tomorow morning at 8 to get it setup. Should be a blast though.

Nice Find. Think you guys are gonna get any snow up there this weekend?

My final totals for both came up to 86 4/8 for the coues and 343 1/8 for the bull. Those are both gross scores. Jason give yourself some credit man you are alot better than me at least

Just got off the phone with G&F and they told me the results will either be out tomorow night or by midweek next week at the latest!!! Hopefully tomorow I can't wait any longer!!!

I was lucky if I got 5 hours of sleep a night! I had several weeks where I got only 20 hours of sleep in the whole week! While working the 100 hour work weeks and tying flies and trying to get some fishing in on the side. It was worth it though

This is the normal amount of flies I would need to tie each night. My clients would lose on average around 12 flies each per day. So I was at the fly tieing bench all night every night. Here is my fly box

I would go but I am having my wisdom teeth removed on the 13th! So I will be laying around the house recovering and complaining

I agree with Arizona Guide I just added it up but may be way off but I came up with 345 to 350. Great bull none the less.

I figured around 85 or so also.

Nice find. What do you think he scores?

I was only able to get 1 good photo of a black bear because every other time I saw them it was in the thick woods where I couldn't get good light or I had to draw my gun to keep the guest calm This bear would always come around when we were filleting fish and later the owner actually had to take him out because he had no fear of humans and tried to break into the lodge several times.

If I had the money to buy a truck like that I would. Maybe when you want to sell this new old bad @$$ truck your talking about I might have enough saved up

Don't you try to pin this on me Casey. I thought you said I was to small to break anything because I am only 160 pounds.

Forgot to tell all of you that for the shore lunch we had to carry in all the spices, butter, potatoes, foil, cutting board, fillet knife, foil and anything else that the client wanted to eat that day. So on a shore lunch day my pack would weigh around 50 pounds going in, normally around 80 or so coming out

Nice looking pig. Very light looking pig almost white! Congrats on the first hunt success always a good way to get them involved.

I still have not found a match set either so don't feel bad.

This is sad we do not even know where we were drawn for and some of us do not even know if we were drawn yet and this is the 215th post on this topic. Can't wait til everybody knows for sure.

Nice job! Looks like a good set and good ipod

Bowhuntcoues brought to my attention that I left out steps 5 and 6 Only thing with step 5 is we didn't have a grill so we had to do shore lunches Step 6 is to kick back and enjoy the meal. This was on my birthday and luckily I had the day off. Went out and caught a nice 40 pound king and several of the other guides came down and cooked it up and had that for dinner. I am the one in the second chair.

Sounds like you had a blast. Just go back and get that 108 buck next year when he will be a 115

Those will be tomorows pics then

You guys are in for a treat today. Here is the fillet process on a salmon. Step one you have to have a salmon Step two you cut down to he spine right behind the head and follow the spine to the tail Step 3 divide into desireed amount of sections Step four slice the bones out
