First off I apologize for the quality of pictures. I decided to post these up from my phone because if I wait until I get good pictures then I probably never will share them. I got three bucks back from Clay they look great. Two Mexico bucks and my wife's buck. I will try and get close up pictures of all three soon. As always Clay did an outstanding job. Ready for the wall Mexico bucks on either side of fireplace

Mike, I like those, they look very nice, good find.

Cool video, that is a great looking bull and one I'm sure Eric would love to have shot that bull, but oh well, next time will be better.

Nate- I don't have any info on that guy, I'm guessing the other posts do not either. I wouldn't worry about being to close to your taxidermist, pick one that you know will do a great job. my .02

Great job again Bob, congrats on a fine looking bull. Good luck on the sheep hunt, wish I was invited to come along.

Huge congrats Ron and great bull. Thanks for sharing pictures and stories, absolutely a hunt to remember.

23 is a great unit with good bucks... BUT... they can be isolated and in pockets. One ridge/canyon that looks great will have deer while another that looks equally as good doesn't. For that reason most people will not give up too many spots. If you can't scout, plan on the first day or so scouting a little bit. The southern part of the unit and western are all good. I would try any road off the A+ road and head north/northeast and start glassing. From the west, go east to the mtns and glass, get off the desert floor and you will find Coues. Good luck

I've never bashed Game and Fish but this is just plain wrong. A guy waits not 5-10 but 35 years, one more time, 35 years, for a goat tag and this happens, that sucks big time. Archery deer or even Elk screwed up by G and F doesn't even come close to compare, Sheep does. I would be ticked and I'm a guy that doesn't get upset at much. I completely understand the need for science and science based info, but come on, shorten the seasons by one day or something, DO NOT FLY WHEN HUNTERS ARE HUNTING, IMO kind of like biting the hand the feeds you. my little rant.

Great job on the first bull and video. awesome

smoker bull, love it.

Well my brother shot his bull off mine last year and set it down somewhere, that was one of the worst two weeks of my life looking for that thing. Imagine explaining to your wife the money you just spent on a piece of equipment is lost and you have to buy it again. WOW. I'm glad I found mine. Nice job putting that up here, hopefully someone appreciates the honesty and compensates you, even though I know that is not why you posted it.

Like Jade said I like it tons if you already have the Outdoorsmans set up. If you don't, then look at other options that are less expensive. In my opinion it is the best of both worlds. You don't have to pack an extra bipod or sandbag or anything, you are using the tripod you glass from. If you don't pack a tripod to glass from then their are better systems. The Claw is awesome if you can pack the heavy tripod and head needed to give a good rest. I like that set up if I'm helping someone out because I don't have to pack a rifle, I can pack the heavier set up. I've posted this pic before.I also had my brother shoot a bull at 450 yards off it.

I've seen lots of elk the last few days, not any of the real big stuff yet, but lots of bulls. But they will be coming across the rez soon. (3c) This morning I followed 9 bulls bugling no cows, I picked the wrong group to follow before work, nothing big at all. soon, very soon. Come on Friday

Way to go Jen and huge congrats to some hunting daughters Bob, good luck on the moose and sheep hunts. Huge congrats to you guys. I hope its nice having your Mathew and Jessica back up there, we miss them here.

huge congrats nice job on the bear.

I got woken up last night with bugles, so they are playing around a bit. Saw a decent bulls starting to check, gather cows a little bit this morning. Should be a fun year.

absolutely awesome. super buck.

If your talking about Rusty Ulmer's head, I have pictures since I have a few prototypes that I'm shooting this year. I'll ask him if he cares they are shown. I know he is tweaking a few things and I'm not sure if he wants them out yet because of patents etc.. It is a mechanical 2 blade.

great footage and some really cool bulls, nice job.

awesome buck, I love it

Nice job on the yote. I smoked a 20 week old coyote pup this morning at 15 yards. Going big time aren't we.

Mark- I had talked to Clay about your head months ago and so when I saw some of the things posted on this site I was tempted to talk to Clay to let him know that you were not happy. As a business man myself I appreciate the fact that I can't make everyone happy but I myself would like to be aware of the situation. Well somebody beat me to talking with Clay and wow, what a great example of great men by both Clay and you Mark. I've known Clay for only a few short years, but as others have stated what a great business man and great Taxidermist. Not only is his time-frame spot on,(or sooner) he doesn't rush a mount. I have 3 coues bucks coming from him this month and I'll post pictures for all to see.

Happy B-day man, 31 is ok 35 is going to suck, then we will be in our late 30's haha. I just turned 32 myself.

This year: Bowtech Destroyer 420gr ACC and TBD 100 gr broadhead at 320 fps. When rifle hunting the same picture in Long range thread 300 ultra shooting 210 vld at 3175 fps

Your looking too way too close.
