Congrats to your Gandpa! Awesome accomplishment at any age!

Awesome. Good people are still out there.

Congrats on that bull. You sure earned it. Glad the knee held up. Great write up and pics. Hope the kids helped you pack it out.

WOW!!!!!! That is a Stud. Congratulations Hector to you and your Dad! What a great experience with him and good friends! Great write up and video.Looking forward to pictures of the great meals you are going to use that meat to prepare.

WOW! Great shot on a really nice bull. Dang nice country up there. Can't wait to see the episode!

I know the feeling! Stepped on em, stepped next to them, Peed on one, almost squatted on one and spent 4 days in the hospital from getting bit by one! I HATE rattlesnakes. It is hard to hunt deer when all you're doing is watching for snakes.

Had a similar experience in NM. Glad to see there are still good samaritans out there. Reminds me to get the slime and put it in my truck. Looking forward to the pics!

Thanks so much! When I go hunting with you we are hunting on horse back! Even then we'll probably run into a buzztail and your horse will buck me off right on top the Dang snake! I don't hate all snakes just Rattlesnakes!!!!

You seem to be the snake magnet this summer! Hope you finished the trailer work.

Very Nice!

WOW! Great outcome. All of them are hero's indeed!

Great Bulls! Way to get your clients on the big boys!

Nice Pics! I don't think I'd ever make it in to work if I saw that everyday!

Nice Pic. Glad it was you that found it! I Hate buzz tails! Not safe at any elevation in AZ!

Great Pictures! Those are some nice Bulls! Thanks for sharing.

Very well said Coach. Not only are the memories going to be great for you but your son will cherish this hunt forever! Beats pictures anyday!

Goat mixed with Honey Badger!

Great pics and write up. I really appreciate how hard you looked to make sure you hadn't wounded him. Really looking forward to seeing pics of you with your bull.

Way to go Adam! It's nice to know there are still good people and most of them gather on this site!

Congrats on a great archery bull!

Sorry for your Loss. Take comfort in the memories and the knowledge that he is a better place. You know he will be watching over you on your hunt. I hope he guides you into a Monster bull. Enjoy that Wild Turkey!

Congrats to your cousin. Nice Bull. Thanks for sharing the story and pics.

I always at least have someone in camp. I do prefer to "hunt" alone but like the company and security of having people in camp. Years ago on a an archery pig hunt my friend shot a pig. He started down the hill watching the pig and ended up running the arrow through his calf. When he didn't arrive back in camp we went looking for him. He made it back to his truck was starting back to camp when we found him. This was way before SPOT or cell phones but could have ended much worse than it did. Plus my favorite part of hunting is spending time with my brother and Dad in camp after a long day of hunting. You won't find a bunch of trophies hanging on my walls but I have a treasure trove of memories from these hunts. This is my preference but that doesn't mean it's the right way. Plan carefully and make sure you leave a map of where you are going to hunt. Proper planning and being careful should make for a fun hunt. Enjoy.

God blessed me with a boy and then a girl. I was scared to death when I learned we were going to have a daughter. Never had sisters and didn't have a clue about them. And still have the fear she will meet a boy like I was in high school or WORSE! My father gave me some good advice saying to never break her spirit. I have lived by that and sometimes almost died by that. My Baby Girl is 18 now. She was into soccer, softball and then became a girly girl with singing, dancing and acting. She would never go hunting because she loves animals. She does love to fish and will tolerate camping to get to the fishing. Cherish every moment because when you blink they will be grown. I Love both my kids with all of my heart and soul and would never change a thing. She will always have me wrapped around her little finger! Everything written on this post is great advice. Enjoy the blessings of your children. Congrats! PS: Start teaching her early. Who's you favorite? DADDY! What's daddy do? Works like a dog!

Congrats to you and your Dad. Thanks for a great write up.
