I will take the steel wheel

My family recently bought an African hunt for 4 hunters from the Mule Deer foundation. Hunt includes all accommodations (lodging, meals, open bar, licenses, guide fees, transportation during hunt). Trophy fees for the animals you harvest and airfare are not included in the package. The package says it is valued at $14,000. We are unfortunately unable to go on this trip and would like to see it go to a fellow coues whitetail member. The hunt is through Upland Water Adventures and Zembe South African Safaris. The package can be used anytime in the next 2 years. Asking $2,000. Message me for further details if interested.

My 2015 Unit 10 Speed Goat * Updated w/ Pics and Story
sandman replied to 6ANut's topic in Antelope Hunting
I would do exclusive pursuit outfitters or high point outfitters. Both of these outfits know 10 really well and will give their best effort to find you a big goat. -
Hunting with an order of protection - Questions/Thoughts needed
sandman replied to naturegirl's topic in The Campfire
6a is a giant unit with elk crawling over all parts of it. I would recommend To scout some new areas. That is the fun part of hunting anyway, get out and explore some new country and don't let something like this ruin your hunt. I hunt to get away from the problems of the world, if you hunt where you know he is going to be, you will be inviting the problems in. Good luck and enjoy the hunt -

*Monster Goat in the Dirt* 2014 Antelope Hunt
sandman replied to Flatlander's topic in Antelope Hunting
Great story. I really enjoyed reading about the preparation for your hunt. To me that is the most enjoyable part. Tagging an animal is just a bonus. Congratulations -
None of those hunts are a walk in the park. They have low densities in some rough country. It will take a lot of work
-
Amazing accomplishment. I would love to harvest all 3 species with a bow. Congrats
-
I saw the bull with the 3 inch cheater on his brow tine a few times. Those are great pics of him
-
Just curious what units you guys think an archery hunter stands a good chance in. When I draw a tag I really want to try it with my bow but don't want to draw in an area where the terrain limits me to a rifle. Thanks
-
I really enjoy the pics you take. Keep them coming

This weekend was my first time hunting coues deer. I have always hunted mule deer but decided I would give the whitetails a try. My wife Shelby put in with me. This was not only her first coues deer hunt but her first rifle deer hunt, and she was still trying to tag her first big game animal. Opening morning went pretty slow with only a few does spotted until around 10:00 my friend Colton spotted 2 bucks in the canyon below us. After a failed stalk attempt we relocated one of the bucks bedded across from us. Shelby got set up and after a few misses, she calmed her nerves and took her first buck. Congrats Shelby! The next day was my turn. Lots of does early in the morning and around 9:00 Colton did it again and spotted a nice buck bedded about 600 yards from us. With the wind blowing hard we decided to get closer and after a quick hike we ended up on the ridge across from the buck at 280 yards. Colton and Shelby sat with me and my Dad was on the ridge behind us as they watched me take my first coues buck. It was an awesome experience and a hunt I will never forget. Thanks to everyone that helped and Congratulations Shelby!

I have done some bear hunting in the past, but have never been able to get lucky. This time I went with some friends to some new country. We saw 11 different bears and had some missed shots. But I was able to connect with this bear after one of my friends spotted him in the canyon below us at 200 yards. It was one of the best weekends hunting I have ever had, but also one of the most physically demanding. Packing the meat and hide out of the steep canyon was extremely difficult, but well worth it. Luckily I had 3 other guys to help me get it out of there. Thanks for the help guys!

Scouting started for this hunt easter weekend. My dad and I found some birds in an area we liked that we thought would have very little hunting pressure. We continued scouting for the next month and found some roosting areas. Opening morning was uneventful due to high winds and a lack of gobbles. That evening while walking around trying to roost some turkeys for the morning I found the smallest horseshoe I have ever seen. I didn't think it could actually be used for a horse so it must have been made for good luck. So i picked it up and put it in my pocket. Shortly after that we roosted a turkey, things were already looking up. The next morning my mom, dad and I walked into a couple hundred yards from the roost and set up. After the birds flew down we began calling and we could tell the gobble was getting closer. About 5 minutes later I could see a big tom walking through the junipers. He came into about 30 yards and hung up directly behind a big juniper tree. I could not get a shot and had to wait as he strutted and gobbled right in front of me. About 15 minutes later he finally took a few more steps and I was able to get a clear shot through a small gap in the tree. He dropped right in his tracks. Now I knew the horseshoe was good luck! It was awesome being able to share this exciting moment with my mom and dad. That is what it is all about, exciting times with awesome family. The turkey had a 9 inch beard and will make a great turkey dinner this coming weekend.
