azcouesandelk Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Well there are 4 hunts that come to mind. The first is my dads first coues buck Then my first coues buck Then my first bull elk/first archery harvest (couldn't have done it if Manny wasn't there, I owe you big time Manny!) Then my dad myself and cody getting a triple on javelina (it was probably the most fun day of hunting I have ever had, not only was I able to watch my dad harvest his first ever archery animal I got to spend the day with my dad and a good friend.)

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Matt, The ones that make me jealous are the sheep and BIG elk pix. I have yet to hunt sheep, and of the 14 elk I've killed, none met my criteria to become a wall hanger. So I'm still hoping for a sheep permit and still looking for a BIG elk. As far as contributing to this thread, I'm guessing most members here have already seen many of my in-the-field pix I have already posted in other threads. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only drawn one elk tag & my girlfriend butchered that hunt w/ her Dale Earnhardt Sr. impersonation and those sheep pics are enough to get anyone's blood pumping. I managed to get invited on a sheep hunt in NM for the spring of '09. Mouflan sheep, I believe. I'm not even sure what the heck a mouflan sheep looks like, but as I've been swapping e-mails w/ the others in the group for several months now, I know w/ that pack of nuts even a jack-rabbit hunt would still be one helluva time.

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Matt, My problem with elk has been two-fold. Over the first two decades I hunted them I was never concerned about trophy quality. I killed smaller bulls in AZ, CO, NM and ID, but only two were 5x5 or better, with the biggest a 5x6 that might have scored 300 or so. Then when getting a permit here eventually meant saying a lot of prayers, I finally drew for the 22N late season. On opening morning, however, I was too sick to go out and hunt, So I never got out of bed and stayed that way for two days. On the 3rd morning, I decided to reluctantly venture forth and shoot the first bull I might spot. That too was a smallish 5x6 with a couple broken tines. The next day I went to the doc, and he told me I had pneumonia. I've killed several exotic sheep, and it can be fun under the right circumstances if it isn't a shooting-fish-in-barrel thing. Take it for what it is and enjoy the trip. -TONY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
