Wow. 4b is such an amazing unit.

aaaaaand last minute Adam strikes again! Congrats to Thomas and well done with all the hard work!

Perfect. Well done. i really like that another member was willing to help. That seems to be a common story. This is how it should be.

When it comes to kids I will take the help of the whole friggin village if that is what it takes. They can learn solo success/failure later. No judgement whatsoever for those that disagree though.

I wish I was still up there.

Well done. Love to see the happy kids.

Last time we had a fire hunting/camping my wife got mad. Kicked me out of the 5th wheel for the night. Campfires make you smell like smoke anyway and will scare away all the animals...

Best thing EVER. You guys are doing it right.

Big congrats to all! Sounds like a great time and a good "learning experience" This sounds more like my BROTHER than his daughter....lol

Holy cow what an exciting circus that must have been! I was overwhelmed with 1 tag.! Awesome job to all and congrats to teh kids!

GREAT chrono and a great price. My bullets even loved mine......

Oh my sillyness what an end to a ridiculous hunt. Was heading out for one more evening of failure when Big Browns gives me a call and so graciously offers to take us to his super secret A+honey hole. Off we went. We climbed a small miserable mountain and right away found elk. Wrong flavor though. Not to worry, Big Browns not only takes us to this amazing spot, he then FINDS the elk TOO. After a short mad scramble to get everything set up,my niece launches her FIRST bullet at her FIRST big game animal. 530yds. The hours of practice paid off and she laced miss daisy with an (almost) perfect shot. Tucked it right behind the front leg just clipping the elbow. After a VERY short run/fall....elk down. Then the REAL fun began. Big Browns and her dad head back to get the ranger and she and I head through the scrub to find the prize. It took us over an HOUR to find it because of a) thick nasty scrub and b) a little hidden gully that fooled us and c) sheer stupidity on my part for not getting walked on to her. No worries, we had plenty of time because Big Browns doesn't know how to change a tire. Luckily he has hillbilly friends that do and came to his rescue. A few cuts later and elk bags in the Ranger and HAPPY niece. It was really AMAZING. her dad had been down with bronchitis for over a week, This was the first chance he had to get out. Shouldn't have because he was hacking up a lung but didn't want to miss it"just in case". Thank you again to all who offered help. Absolutely made this a fantastic experience. THIS is what makes this forum a great place. And of course I can't thank Big Browns enough for making this happen(after ALREADY helping TWO other youths this morning!!!!). And to wildwoody for saving the day. Just......AWESOME. Thank you guys. we did get some video but I am WAY too tired to mess with them right now.

Struck out again today. Got really close this morning but they saw us before we saw them. Went to a few spots that some members on here suggested. One was REALLY good. Unfortunately it was REALLY good for someone else right before we got there. We were at least able to render assistance to the dad and 3 boys who had killed an elk and had no way to get it out. Hopefully Karma comes back quickly. lol Will try again. Thanks to all who have sent help.

Plans ABCDE and F have all failed. LOL They are not talking and all water holes are dry. Except for the two right off the main rd which all the campers have circled around. So tomorrow we are hoping for dumb blind luck.

Well THAT didn't work. LOL Had a plan this morning and failed. Campers EVERYWHERE. Still lots of time and a new plan this afternoon.

Last day at Brazos River Lodge, NM Will post up some crummy videos here in a bit. We need to work on our video skills... Thanks to all for following and the kind words. Goodnight Brazos!

4 for 4. BIL got some sweet redemption after 2 hard years of bad luck and bad mistakes. lost an average bull earlier in the day and was bummed. went out for the evening hunt and absolutely laced the biggest elk to come out of here in many years. not great genetics in here but lots of elk. makes for a fun hunt. now we need to teach him to get down low and long arm so his elk looks bigger......lol dude is 6'5" so everything looks small and they finally fed us a decnt meal. off to coyote hunt in the morning and wrap this trip up

my turn. 485 yds across same canyon as last night. almost a boring hunt. saw this guy at last light out in the valle and decided to check on him in the morning. walked to the edge of the trees and he was pushing his cows up to the other side to bed. be didnt make it. the little 3x trailer was ecstatic as he just got uograded. lol one of the prettiest places i have seen and i shoot this guy in the ugliest spot in the whole ranch. still tastes good though 3 down 1 to go

2 down 2 to go. not a bad opening day. 475 yds across a nasty canyon at last light. didnt get packed out until 1030. the vacation brochure didnt mention that part.
