A Recent Picture Of The Buck We Call Private Spread.

Couesmagnet THanks For The Nice Comments. Yes Those Buffalo Do Go In CyCles. Arround For A Couple Days And Gon Again. We Sat There For Like Four Days Before Killing That Bull. MOst Of Those Licks Were Arround Long Before The Buffalo Mooved In. And The First Bull We Killed Up There This Year Was A Bull We Hunted Down And NOt On Salt. Go Back To The Main Buffalo Page And Look A Couple Threads Down. We Killed A Giant B&C Bull Early In The Sesson.

CouesMagnet. I've Seen Loads Of Dead Buffalo Carcuses Up There And Never Have I Seen Buffalo Care Or Blink An Eye At A Carcus. Ive Seen Them Feed Right Next To, Step Right Over Or Walk Around Them Without A Care. EveN Fresh Ones And Even The Nastiest Stinky Ones.TheyJust Don't Seem To Care. Its Odd, But They Don't. We Have Actually Killed Very Few Off Of Salt. I Think Only Two Before This One Were Off Of Salt. We Usually hunt Them Down. we Did A Lil Bit Of Both On Brents Hunt. We Really Wanted To Get It On Film And that Was A Good Way To Do It With A Bow.

A Teaser Picture From A Recent AZ Hunt!

AWESOME!!!

I glassed one up a few years ago in Southern AZ. It too was the black version verses the tan more rare version. I watched it come out of a spring and work its way across the hillside. It was pretty awesome! Lance http://www.timberlandoutfitters.blogspot.com/2013/06/tlo-interactive-seminar-and-class-by.html

As for the bull with hard horns. Likely a leftover that didn't shed or rub or rut, so Still white.<br />If it was this years rubbed early he would stain with blood and the tips would be a mess. I've seen that before.<br /><br />As far as all the bugling this time of year, Its mostly Cows Bugling. I see it all the time every year. Go look at them next time, its pretty cool!<br /><br />Those horns don't look cut off to me. That's just the natural pedestal. I find those all the time. I've seen plenty of cut off ones too. That's just the way it looks.<br /><br />Lance http://www.timberlandoutfitters.blogspot.com/2013/06/tlo-interactive-seminar-and-class-by.html

Thanks everyone! Yeah I wish I had a tag too! lol! But at least I still get to go! Lance http://timberlandoutfitters.blogspot.com/2013/06/tlo-interactive-seminar-and-class-by.html

I was contacted by Brady who had drawn a Population Management buffalo tag for unit 5A and 5B through the hunter pool draw. Brady wasnt interested in a typical Ramond Ranch hunt where you are accompanied by the Ranch Game and Fish warden and told what animal to shoot. But Brady had learned that the buffalo they wanted taken out were bulls that roamed free off of the ranch and were seldom seen throughout miles of country. This interested Brady and this interested me as well! There were rumors of old bulls that had been roaming free and wild for many years and the chance of a trophy and more importantaly the chance of a real trophy adventure!!! When Brady contacted me it was 2 days before his hunt was to start. I got to work right away and started scouting and gathering every bit of information I could from the Game and Fish, local ranchers and past hunters. Soon I knew where to start and the type of targets we were after. There were for sure at least 8 bulls roaming as free and wild as they please. These bulls were last seen at least 15-20 miles from the ranch and one had been seen alone. We were very interested in the lone bull and wanted to see what kind of bull he was. There was also the main herd of 45 cows, calves and young bulls that were much easier to find. And although they spent most of their time on the ranch they too roamed free as they pleased and these pictures of the herd were taken a couple miles outside the ranch. I met with Brady the evening before the hunt and showed him the herd of cows to get his blood flowing! On day one we knew the area the herd of bulls were in but we decided to look for the loaner bull first. Another bull was taken from the group of bulls but wasn't a bull we were interested in. This spooked the group and they left the country. We knew where their tracks led but we wanted to continue to look for the mysterious loan bull just in case he was bigger, nothing else was found that day. As we continued to look the next day we found where the other bulls had gone. They had moved about 20 miles! We stalked in on them and looked them over carefully. We decided that the biggest bull in the group was a great bull and had bigger horns than the other bull that was taken. On the hunt before, a hunter had taken a bull out of the herd and said that there was a bull bigger than the one he shot still in the herd. We thought this might be the loan bull that was missing. We had a month to hunt and I told Brady we should pass on this bull and since we were the only hunters we had time to look for the other bull while keeping this good bull in our back pocket. So we left them and continued to to look. As we continued to look we were able to keep track of the herd of bulls movements. We talked to Steve, the warden, on the evening of the third day and he informed us of two things that made up our mind. Steve had gotten a close look at the bulls shortly after we did and he said that the bigger bull in the herd was bigger than the one the other hunter had taken on the hunt before. This meant that the bull we had passed up was probably the biggest bull left. But we were still going to keep him in our back pocket because we had a month to ourselves. But then Steve told us that they were likely going to issue another tag to start the next Friday..... so all of a sudden we didn't have time to keep this bull in our back pocket but it seemed that he was the bigger bull we were looking for anyway. So with that info Brady and I decided that he would be our target bull and the hunt was on! Day 4 started with covering ground and glassing and trying to cut tracks. Late in the morning we finally cut the tracks of the herd of six bulls. We grabbed our gear and began the tracking job. We had tracked them for about a mile and found where they had spent the night. We continued on their trail and after a while I discovered that they had looped downwind of us and had spooked and left the country without us even knowing. It was pretty awesome hunting these wild bulls that were not going to make it easy! I was familiar with the movement of buffalo in that country so we took a short cut and found their tracks again! We continued to circle and cut their tracks over and over throughout the day and several hours of tracking and about 9-10 miles later we finally caught up to them! At this point they were about 30 miles from where they had started the first day! It was truly turning into an awesome and epic free ranging and wild hunt!! I glassed them up out in front of us way out in the flat cedar pushes. There wasn't much cover so a careful stalk was made into about 230 yards. At this point most of the bulls were laying down resting. After a while they all got up to feed again and I looked them over carefully to find the one we wanted. The bull was located and the video was running while Brady placed 3 great shots in his chest from my 7MM RUM and his big once in a lifetime Arizona buffalo was down! We took lots of pictures and then we got to cutting! It took Brady and I two-hours and 20-min to cut the bull up and we were very blessed to be able to drive the truck right to him! This hunt turned out to be an awesome hunting adventure and everything we hoped a free range hunt would be! We hunted hard all day every day and tracked bulls over 30 miles of country and covered many many miles more! It was truly an epic hunt with highs and lows and everything in between! Thank you Brady for allowing TLO to be a part of your once in a lifetime adventure! Lance

Thanks For All The Kind Words Everyone! I'm Glad You Enjoyed The Story And Pictures!! The Video Is Ready And We Should Be Posting That Up Real Soon!!! Lance http://timberlandoutfitters.blogspot.com/2013/06/tlo-interactive-seminar-and-class-by.html

Awesome Pictures! And Haha! ThE Lady Hunter One, The One That Says ShaRlot Hall With dead Deer. Look At It Closely... That Velvet Deer In The Snow. Clearly That Dried Up Face And Ears Have Been Dead For A Long Time Before The Snow Got There. AnD It Doesn't Have A Body So That's Why The Dress Is Covering Up That Area.Lol The Dress That Hasn't Walked Anywhere In The Snow Except To Step Up To Pose For The Picture. Cool Picture, But Clearly Poised With A Long Dead Deer Head.

TLO Was Blessed to be able to accompany Stan during his Spring Buffalo hunt on Arizona's North Kaibab. On his second day of hunting we tracked down this Big bull with another one. After 3 miles of zig zagging through big canyons we jumped them in a thicket at 30 yards!!!!! I got them stopped at about 120 yards out and Stan's first shot was a perfect double lung! But the bull kept getting up and needed several more shots to keep him down! It was really exciting and nerve racking! Stan's bull was a huge old B&C bull!! And after 6 big rounds from the 338 the big old bull prooved he was the man of the woods!!! With two broken leggs he showed his sheer strangth by getting back up twice and muscling his way toward the park line!!! I tried to stay calm... but talk about heart pounding excitement that will make me grow old fast!!!! My hats off to this impressive 2000 lb mass of muscle and determination!!! A final shot to the back of the head put him down for good 23 yards from the park line!!!!!! Stan and I got to work on the bull while My brother Blair hiked back to get a quad. By the time Blair got back I had it all cut up and ready to go. We were thankful that It was a beautiful day with beautiful weather unlike the day before. Another beautiful bull and loads of priceless memories! Thank you Stan for choosing TLO to make those memories with you! Congrats again on your monster bull! Lance Crowther I will be posting more memorable pictures of the hunt on our blog page soon! Stan staring in amazement at the size of the bull as he walked up. We measured this bull and figured he would stand at least 5' 9" at the shoulder. from R to L Blair, Stan and me. That is just the head setting on a Handa 500! I also have great video of this hunt so be watching for that to come out this summer!!

Thanks For All The Nice Comments Everyone! I Just Got Done With Another Blessed And Epic AZ Buffalo Adventure!! I'll Try To Get Some Pictures Up Soon. Lance
