prhunter 2025 NM Bear Hunt-Part 3
Last outing for black bear in NM resulted in nothing being harvested. I returned to the area described in part 2 and did not glass up any bears. That area was for sure very active a few weeks prior, but the bears seemed to have moved on in search of food sources. Like always, great times and a...- prhunter

prhunter 2025 NM Bear Hunt-Part 2
Second outing chasing bears in NM this season. For this trip I had to change locations since my initial unit closed due to the harvest quota being met earlier this month. At this new location there was lots of bear sign around giving me hope for the days/weeks to come. Bears seemed to be...- prhunter

prhunter 2025 NM Bear Hunt
This is the first hunt of my 2025-2026 season. Weather did not cooperate much as it rained almost every day while we were out there. Not a single bear spotted on this outing. Not sure if the hot temps, the presence of other hunters/outfitters in the area or the lack of acorns contributed to no...- prhunter

prhunter 2024 AZ deer hunt
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.

2023 Javelina success
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...- prhunter

2022 AZ coues deer hunt
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... -

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...- prhunter

Winchester Model 70
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... -
Unsuccesful Colorado trip
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...
