Bounty the Dog Hunter

Well if your gonna break a dry spell.....a 12 guage to the face is a good way to do it. Congratulations!!!

I made many dry stands with multiple buddies. When I was finally fortunate to see something coming into the caller for the first time it was a Bobcat. I shot it and have been hooked ever since. I know people in this forum kill alot of critters, but you never forget the first time you call something in and connect. It is a high that I look forward to everytime I make the first stand of the day. Great job on getting another guy hooked on calling!

Nice dog...Wanna go this week?

Nice job Tom

Awesome job on those foxes. Looks like you were getting it done pretty well. Where you hand calling or using an e caller?

That is pretty awesome. Congratulations, and I hope ther is more than one next time in your future.

Well looks like passing up on calling with you for a staff xmas party was a good idea for 2 reasons. 1) I would have probably pissed of my entire staff. 2) I would have most likely have had to shoot that fox robbing you of a great photo op. Time for Josh to get me that Minaska now for sure. I am tempted to call on the way up and back from Williams form think that Elle might get a little pissy pants..hehe. I am free after Saturday to get calling. Great job!!!!

Santa will be out at Scottsdale Gun Club this Saturday...come get your picture with Santa and his Machine guns. Make a great memory for the kids.

My son wanted to see the pics from my hunt with Josh. I showed him these pics and he said "Dad, Is that Josh with a Bobcat?" I said yes son. He then says, "Dad you got a Bobcat like that but Josh shot a bigger one with spots and it looks like a Leopard!" Even my 3 year old thinks Josh is the man. I have to buy a Minaska so I can be my sons Idol again. D@#n you Josh!!!!

Well after a few missed opportunities I finally went calling with Josh this morning who promised to deliver a fox. Our first stand was dry. The second stand found a nice sized male coyote on the wrong end of a .17 fireball. Josh hurled this miniscule piece of lead about 90 yards dead center into the dogs chest. After another dry stand we setup near a wash. Josh left his rifle and opted to arm himself with his video camera and I had a Mossberg 835 with 3 1/2 in #4 shot. I saw a Gray coming in fast and wanted to make sure we were going to get it all on film as this was going to be my first fox. This little female came right to the caller with no hesitation at the 7 minute mark. I had an easy shot at 40yds. I have been hunting with Josh since we were kids and he is the real deal. He is meathodical in his setup and knows how to find wildlife quickly. He really knows how to work the Minaska like the Pied Piper as well. As you can see by his posts here he is very active and very successful. Why he is not a professional guide I have know idea. One thing is for certain. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to hunt with someone of his caliber you wont be disappointed. Thank you Josh for a great morning. Just 16 years after guiding me to my first deer, you come through again on the fox as promised. Too bad I missed the Javelina on the bowhunt or it would have been a trifecta of firsts. Maybe an Antelope hunt is in order?? Thanks Josh for a job well done.

Whats up Stacey? I did not have any Slim Jims...but as my good fortune did have it Josh was a bit late so I rolled to Jack in the box for a trusty Breakfast Jack. Are you sniffing my scat again??

Great Job! Thanks for catching up and hunting on Sunday. The Minaska is worth its weight in gold.

Yes I must say that the Minaska sound quality is much better than that of my foxpro. I know its not apples to apples but my Foxpro on level 9 is like the Minaska on level 2. I am blown away by the quality of the sound vs my caller. It helps to have a master at the controls also, but the caller far exceeded my expectations. Minaska is the best bang for the buck PERIOD. This from a guy who just bought a Foxpro.

Haha..We talked about Coyote Heaven....I am ready for a guided tour after the new year. As far as the video goes, I have been asking Josh the same thing. If he uses the footage with me on my fox kill, I will need to call my agent. I have seen a little teaser and I promise this thing is going to sell fast once word gets out. The music alone got my adreniline going and the footage does not disappoint. Thanks Ernesto!

Sweet pic. You seem to have great luck when you blow off your calling buddy and go solo. Tell us the story about getting pulled over by the cops with the blood dripping from the tailgate.

Thanks Chris...I will go out with you as soon as I get back from the annual trip to the North Pole. I hope it snows for the kids by Thursday. I got to break in the Scorpion. Come out to Rio the day after Christmas I am shooting in a long range match.

Nice looking dog, What caliber is that rifle?

That fox is LARGE....nice job!!!

Nice cat....the hide is sweet. What are you shooting with? My 223 tears cats up...that hide is looking pristine. Congrats on a job well done!!

in a word.....AWESOME! That looks like fun...great job

Great story...and a very nice cat. The decoy is sweet and apparently works well.

Great job....good pics!!

I wish I could go, but I have to go buy an SP89 at the gun show because Josh did not come through with his. Have fun I am sure it will be awesome.

Lets go during the week....or drop the boys with Elle on the weekend. Is there anything left out there? It looks like you killed everything in our neck of the woods....save some for the rest of us!

Impressive, Now get your head right and eat some carbs!! You look like the pencil neck I knew in high school!
