Congrats. you will learn to trust your nose. It has helped me out on more than one occasion.

Congratulations on your success. Here is to you finding "Splits" next year!

Congratulations! Do you have any larger photos? Looks like a real nice buck.

Congratulations to your son. That feeling you get when it all goes down is something I won't trade for anything. Although it's a good thing your boy didn't pass out! LOL!

Congratulations! Looks like he was a popular buck too! It will be nice to have all the photos of him alive.

Close up AND specs on that rig please! Congratulations.

Good advice, I remember my son reciting the whole movie " Joe Dirt "on the side of a mountain while I glassed. They grow up fast, and you never get those moments back. Congrats on a fine buck. I second this, BIG TIME. Viper hit the nail on the head.

This sure sounds like a fantastic experience. I immediately thought back to being a young boy experiencing the outdoors and thinking about "survival" stuff too. Your story sure took me back. Congratulations to your son for being a tough gun while keeping a positive attitude and for making that shot. Big time congrats to you for being such an awesome Dad and doing this for your son. I know you must be very proud.

Tony, Thanks for sharing your photos with us. You can scratch this trophy off of your list now. I know you made the best of your opportunity and God bless TJ for stepping up the way he did. I'll pay him back for you when he draws his tag, no worries there. Congratulations again to all of you. It was great hearing from you guys from up on the mountain.

Now THAT was a perfect documentation of a great hunting experience. I'm happy you are getting back into the swing of things Doug. We've missed you around here. Here's to you catching the hunting bug again real soon. Great photographs. i need to do a better job.

Great photos! Congratulations again. I need to draw a sheep tag!!!

I don't have permission to post photos but you can do a Google Image search for "Chase Willis New Mexico bighorn" and get ready to blow your mind.

Preliminary scores are 173" net for the first, 175 5/8 net for the second, and 172 6/8 net for the last ram.

Yes, that 192" desert is an absolute STUD. Biggest desert I have seen. BTW, my friend Jesse Novak found that monster rocky that the same outfitter guided for the governors tag in 2009. The monster killed on Wheeler peak.

Way to go Connor! Looks like a blast camping and hunting with you all. (okay, maybe Gus doesn't think so)

Good job. He goes straight up!

Allen is 3 for 3 in his consecutive draws and harvests on the Kaibab. Yes folks, this was his third time drawing the coveted Late hunt tag, IN A ROW! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy and boy does he make the best of them! As a bonus, his son Travis killed his first mule deer this year too! Duwane Adams camp comes through again! I'll let Allen fill in the details but I'll start with what everyone is waiting for, photos! Kicking things off is Travis' first Kaibab buck... Below is one of Duwane's clients and new found friend of ours, Scott with his 191" buck! Now here are both bucks together...

Here are your photos! Congratulations again!

Congratulations!!!

Very true. I might add,..Ilene, your words have resonated in several of us here. I know it isn't easy to always share your feelings and experiences. A big sincere Thank You.

Couple of nice muleys. They just flare out it seems. Congratulations to both of you.

Congrats on your "double" That was mighty nice of your uncle to share his points and it paid off!

That's what it's about right there! Congrats on your desert muley.

Congratulations on the success!

I just have to say...scrolling through your post and coming across "Annie Oakleys" smile just brought me so much joy! Congratulations Ashlynn! You have a great smile and a super buck to go with it! Chalk another win up for the girls!
