Probably my favorite hunt, means alot since I shot and missed at this buck in Sept. archery, and killed him in Nov. I did this during my 2nd year of dental school.

 

 

I also shot this bull during dental school, waited 12 years 9bp to draw in my home unit.

 

 

Here he is on the wall, not the best taxi work though...

my first archery buck, taken last year on the morning of the last day. Might not be a trophy buck to anyone but me, but it will always be the first.

Its not mine, but my dads sheep hunt this year is the most fun I have ever had on a hunt. I will remember that weekend with good friends forever.

John, how is the meat off of that ancient ram?

[azpackhorse]

I consider this a trophy, my first (and hard earned) brownie Coues shed

 

 

And who else can say they have Rudolph hang'n on thier wall!

 

First Antelope, camera was at the truck so I had to carry him a while............got a little blood on me

 

 

couple of bulls from New Mexico, not the biggest but one of my most memorable and physically difficult hunts

 

 

Another great hunt, the one and only December tag I've drawn. Woke to snow on the ground down south, we watched this buck for a long time before I finally took him.

[Coues 'n' Sheep]

This is by far my greatest trophy. My P&Y Desert Sheep from 2001..... Arivipa Canyon. My boy (Colton) and my Bro-in-law (Larry) were with me on the mountain that day and my wife was back at camp. We got it all on video. A 45 yd bow kill! Sharing my most important hunting momment with them was priceless!

 

 

My close runner up..... Is the largest of my P&Y Coues deer. Archery buck #5 (of 6) fell to my arrow after 10 years of trying to break 100" with a bow. What a day. My boy hiked in that day to share the moment (and help me pack out my Awesome buck).

 

All my very best hunting memmories have been shared with my Wife, my Son, and my Bro-in-law..... I Love them for that! It is Priceless.... to know you can count on family!

I have to agree with you Gino.

When you find out that you have drawn a Sheep Tag

your whole life starts to revolve around it.

The phone calls, Map studying ,Scouting,

Planning the camp.

It was without a dout the most involved hunt I have ever done.

 

But, any of my Girls hunts rank right up there as favorites.

 

 

 

[Coues 'n' Sheep]

Well lets see... My kitten.

 

The creating of firstlionwasakitten

 

 

 

That could be a new animal... a Leopard-Lion cross???

 

 

Hey..... the only good lion is.......the dead one lying in the bed of the pickup!!!

[Packer]

My first javelina

 

 

My best coues to date

 

 

My best archery elk

 

[mattys281]

This pic is kinda crappy, but it was my very first bow kill in 1997. Took about four or five years of bow-hiking to luck into this little javi.

 

 

This is my first bow-killed deer. Took about 12 years of bow-hiking on & off when I had time, and then about 2 years of butt-busting, do or die bowhunting.

 

[Browning'sCustomMeat]

This buck is the biggest I have taken so far. Dec 1998. Score: 98-5/8"

 

 

 

My first archery coues. Sept. 2004.
