Just returned from our 2024 AZ coues deer hunting trip. Temps were really high (low 90s the first 4 days) which resulted in little deer movement. A cold front came through the last two days of the hunt. We did glass up some bucks then, but they were either on the move or in a totally...
Just returned from my 2024 NM bear hunt. Here is a quick break down of the hunt and some pictures.
Day 1: Took this day more as a scouting day than anything else. Had some spots I wanted to check out and was glad I did. The third area looked very promising (flat canyon bottom with a mix of...
Took a break from work this weekend and went up to northern NM after some fish. Caught a decent amount... mostly smallmouth bass. I did manage to hook and land my fist pike ever which was the intended purpose of the trip.
Once again, headed out with the crew to the great state of Arizona in search for the elusive javelina. Day two of the hunt was very productive for me. We glassed up a herd about 800 yds away Saturday afternoon. Made a move on them and got within 25 yards. When I came up on them, this sow...
Once again drew deer tags with my hunting buddies on our usual unit. One of the guys could not make the trip so we only had two tags to fill.
My buddy took a deer on day 4 of the hunt. A nice dark horned 6pt. On day 6, I had an opportunity on a nice 8pt but he outsmarted everyone. Had another...
Took a chance this year and applied for a limited opportunity hunt in the great state of Arizona. Somehow, I got lucky and drew my first choice. Arrived in the unit 2 days before the opener. Scouted the spots that were previously determined and found a few others with potential. Opening day...
My daughter harvested her first turkey during NM 2022 youth opener. This year we were fortunate to gain access to an area with a good turkey population.
At approximately 7:30AM this guy came in with his friends trying to get a closer look at our decoy. My daughter made a great shot on this...
So, this year I was fortunate enough to draw an AZ coues deer tag in the southern part of the state along with my two hunting buddies. It was the only hunt any of us had drawn this year so we knew we had to give it a full 100%.
We hunted hard during the entire 7 day season, harvesting two...
Taking off to AZ in search of coues deer. Full report upon return. Will attempt to do semi live hunt postings. Good luck to everyone already out there.
Took this adult javelina last Monday during the AZ general season.
Like always, it was good spending time in the outdoors. Hope everyone else is having a good season.
Taking off tomorrow to AZ for our annual javelina trip. We'll have a full camp this year. Weather should be good. I'll try to post updates every other day or so. If not, full report after the hunt. Good luck to who ever else is going out.
Hello all! I just recently acquired a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. Judging by the serial number it appears to have been manufactured around 1973. Good, solid rifle with proof that it has been taken out to the field.
Now the question is, which optic for it??? My current options...
Just returned from my Colorado muzzleloader elk hunt. The area we hunted was at elevations above 10,800' to approximately 11,300'. There was a lot of elk sign (rubs, tracks, etc.) in the area which made things look promising.
On day two of the hunt we had 4 different bulls responding to my cow...
Drew an elk tag in Colorado this year... very excited for that. However, I struck out in all the other states I applied for. Currently looking for alternate hunts. NM and AZ no longer have leftover tags available.
Considering OTC Barbary Sheep in NM or OTC fall bear in AZ. Not sure if there is...
Hello everyone... I am currently shopping around for a new hunting day pack. I'm looking at bags in the 2000Ci range. Meat shelf preferred and the ability to carry a rifle would be a big plus. I am the owner of an Eberlestock X2. Great pack but no rifle scabbard. I also own an Eberlestock H2...
