I knew going in, this hunt could be tough. It was a tough hunt, in regards to finding the real big bucks this unit can hold. I passed several bucks in this class, hoping for a mature to buck to pop up.
These are some of the funnest animals to hunt, hands down. This was my buddy Pat's first Pronghorn hunt, he's now hooked for life. We were fortunate enough to be joined by Buzz for the first few days. Buzz and I have spent quiet a few days hunting together over the last 18 years between...
2020 started off good with an opening morning Javelina. Fast forward to this weekend when my wife was able to get out. She filled her tag this Saturday morning, with a great boar and a great shot!
So my 14 year old son Brasen, beat the odds and drew one of the very best hunts Arizona has to offer. He did an amazing job prepping for this hunt, even with his crazy highschool sports schedule. The full story is long and it's awesome. Maybe when I have more time, I'll add the extended...
My oldest (13yrs) son and I made a quick trip up to Wyoming in hopes of getting him his first goat. With sports and school we had very limited time to make it happen. Luckily, we had help from Buzz. Who I can't thank enough for helping and letting us stay at his house! Buzz and I have hunted...
My 12 year old nephew got his first javelina on the last day of the youth hunt. We shot a pig with my son on opening day, didn't see another one until this morning. 200yds with the R-15, done deal.
Brasen and I went out Friday evening for the opener of his youth Javelina hunt. We glassed a few different hillsides for a few hours. With about hour of light left, we picked up a lone javelina feeding in a small Basin about 3/4 of a mile away. We got to about a 150yds, set up, hunt over...
Both kids keep my wife and I crazy busy. Right now is wrestling full time for my 8 year old Stone. Part time for my 11 year old Brasen ( he's also playing basketball, meh.) Here's a quick clip of their first tourneys.
First up is my 12 year old nephew Angelo. He drew an early October youth tag in a local unit. He did what Angelo does and broke his arm a few weeks before the hunt. It's added some extra challenges but he got it done. Fourth day of the hunt at 200yds. His first big game animal, a nice little...
So I was lucky enough to hit the mountains with Terry and Joe a few weeks ago on a muley hunt. I've hunted with Oak but never with Dinkshooter. Neither of these guys disappointed. I debated going with the long story but decided to go shorter.
Dinkshooter invited me to go with him to his...
My 11 and 7 year old keep my wife and I busy! They play team sports but their favorite stuff is martial arts. Quick clip of some recent stuff from wrestling, Jiu Jitsu and karate.
These guys are always a fun hunt this time of the year. Glassed, stalked, shot and he went about 25yds and dropped. Decent boar for my part of AZ. Solo cell pics aren't the best but better than nothing.
My wife Carol was able to make a 340yd shot on this little guy on Tuesday morning. She had limited time and with it being a leftover tag, she wasn't going to pass. These little guys are about as cool as an animal as we have in N. America. My only gripe about them is you dont get enough meat...
After a lot of digging and searching I finally found a Legendary Arms Works Professional.
Hoping to hit the range tomorrow and see what it likes to shoot.
After striking out on all the draws this year. My last resort was a leftover coues deer tag here in AZ. I went solo and had my sights set on an 80in or better buck.
Opening morning I found four bucks but none that I wanted to shoot at. The first evening was a bust. This morning I went...
My youngest sister and my 14 year old niece, expressed interest in hunting this season. I applied them for elk and pronghorn, no luck. I applied them in the deer and sheep draw as well. They got hit for tags in one of my favorite areas for deer in AZ. The shooting practice began right away...
My oldest Son Brasen has worked his butt of the last two months preparing to test out of the Little Dragon program at his Tae Kwon Do school. The highest belt these kids can be promoted to is Green. Until tonight, his Sensei had only awarded two Green belts. Brasen was the third. I'm pretty...
My buddy Chuck was tragically taken from us last weekend in a car accident. Today we start to say our goodbyes. I'll miss talking hunting (especially mule deer), Boxing, MMA, Jiu Jitsu, sports and just life in general with him. R.I.P. Michael "Chuck" Zunitch!
I'm not sure if Bret still has an active HT account. So here's a quick story and pic of his first Mule Deer buck.
Due to some time constraints at work, Bret didn't have the whole 10 days to hunt. The bar was lowered a little but we knew we'd have fun no matter how many days we spent up there...
