Our hunter, Larry Spillers, arrives today and we are excited to get this hunt underway. The wind has been howling all night but it seems to just be a one day storm. We are still in search for the right ram but the journey has been great so far. One observation we have noted about Nelsoni desert sheep is that they seldom are anywhere other than at the tallest peaks. Unlike Mexicana's who can often times be found in the "bajadas" or right at where the mountain and desert floor meet. For this hunt we cannot hunt statewide like most raffle tags but have to stick in units 9/10, 12, 13, 15, 16. Those units are made up primarily of Nelsons. We have spent many nights out on our cots but have a great basecamp with our dear friends Fred and Mary Ashurst in Unit 15D. They have been gracious hosts and it is always fun to spend time with them. From the deserts of NW Arizona in search of a great ram Colburn and Scott Outfitters signing out until next time...

Temps have come down some and the rams are really moving around. Our hunter arrives on Friday and we are looking forward to the hunt. He is battling a bum ankle from a softball game. He had 7 pins put in his ankle so we are hoping to find a good one that we can make a play on without to much stress on his ankle. He hurt his ankle several days prior to finding out that he had won the raffle sheep hunt. Should be a great time! View the full article

Here is another update on scouting for the AZ raffle sheep hunt. Darr and I have been having a ton of fun looking at lots of great country and sheep! The weather is supposed to cool down a little bit into the mid 70's which should be very nice. The sunsets and sunrises in the western deserts of Arizona are incredible. It doesn't get better than enjoying God's awesome creation! View the full article

By Darr Colburn My oldest son Parker Coues Colburn turned ten this year and was finally old enough to hunt big game in Arizona. Parker drew a juniors deer tag and was excited for his first deer hunt. We did some shooting at the range and I was confident in his shooting. Jay and I did some scouting the week before the hunt and found several coues deer bucks to go after. Parker could not miss school on opening day so Jay and I headed out to glass in the morning while Parker went to school. My plan was to glass in the morning and then drive back and pick Parker up from school and hunt the evening and the weekend. We headed out with the Polaris Rangers loaded and ready for the weekend. Friday morning Jay and I glassed up several bucks and ended up having 6 different coues deer bucks bedded. Jay stayed to keep an eye on the bucks while I headed back to Phoenix around noon. I arrived at school and Parker jumped in the truck and the first thing he asked was did you see any bucks this morning? I smiled and told him we had several bucks bedded that I thought we could get to before dark. We raced back to our spot and arrived with about an hour of shooting light left. When we got back to Jay he told us the bucks were up feeding and in the same spot. He also said that another 4x3 buck joined the original group. Parker and I hiked up to a point and I started glassing for the bucks. I found the biggest buck and ranged him at 175 yards. The buck was straight down hill and looking up in our direction. I laid our packs down and made a rest for Parker to shoot off of. I explained to Parker where the buck was and he told me he could see him. Parker was able to find him in the scope and told me he was ready to shoot. I told him to wait until I got the video camera rolling. A few seconds later I asked him if he was very steady and he said yes and he was ready to shoot. At the shot the buck jumped and disappeared down hill out of view. The shot looked and sounded good so we gathered up our stuff and quickly hiked down to where I last saw the buck. I quickly found his tracks and then blood. 100 yards farther down the hill we found Parker's first buck. I don't know who was more excited, Jay and I or Parker. We slept on our cots under the stars and headed home the next day. Parker's coues deer buck has 4 points on his right antler and 3 on his left. I could not have dreamed of a better experience for my sons first buck. More pictures and video to come soon. View the full article

Watch as our good friend, Kip Fattaleh, with JKF Outfitters hosts this weeks show on Arizona archery elk hunting in Unit 8. Kip and his team have a proven track record in Unit 8 of putting their clients on some great bulls over the years. Watch as a 13 year old girl gets her first elk with a bow. I loved the elation from the whole camp as they rallied around her blessed harvest. Kip is one of the most genuine and knowledgeable guides in the business and we are happy to have him as our dear friend. Check out his website to see all the fantastic trophies they have harvested over the years. Enjoy! View the full article

We (Colburn and Scott Outfitters) found a great bull in a remote area while scouting for this upcoming Arizona archery elk season. Darr nicknamed him HandleBar J. He has two non-typical points that kick off of the mainbeam. What does this bulls mainframe score plus the extra points? View the full article

Magnet- we were thinking same thing low mid 60' frame with 28-30 inches of extras. He looked a little wider than the 40. So I think 385+ISH. He has a huge body. Points are short and kind of look a little droughty. Lots of video coming in the following days. Yours is a pig! CONGRATS!
