CA Archery Turkey (pics)
Last weekend I was able to travel up to the northern portion of the Golden State to bowhunt turkeys with some friends. After experiencing a few call shy birds, I did what I do best.....stalked in on this 5 year old gobbler (their estimate). One arrow at 28 yards did the trick. He had over a...- BOHNTR

2012 Archery Elk (pics)
Here's a freaky bull elk I arrowed in AZ a few days back at 33 yards as he was raking a tree and fending off satellite bulls. He's a unique old bull that G&F estimated to be 8.5 years old. Absolutely the biggest bodied elk I've ever arrowed estimated by the meat locker to be 750 pounds. I'm... -
CA Archery Gobblers (pics)
Last weekend I was invited to bowhunt with two veteran archery turkey hunters from the Northern half of the Golden State. What an incredible weekend!

CA Bobcat Mount
Looks like my 2010 archery bobcat is done, as the taxidermist sent me photos of my bobcat mount. Cats are difficult to re-create for many taxidermist, so I did a little checking around and found a taxidermist down in El Centro (Breck Dickinson) that has a reputation for doing good cat work...- BOHNTR

2011 AZ Coues Deer (pics)
Well, after 25+ consecutive years of chasing mule deer in August, I was prepared to hike into a wilderness in CO to make my annual quest. However, after a buddy of mine scouted the bowls I was going to hunt, he only saw a handful of bucks, with the biggest somewhere in the low 160’s. I wasn’t... -

CA Coyote.....archery style
With nothing really going on this weekend (except some college homework), I decided to go out and try calling some predators this morning. A quick 15 minute drive from my house here in the desert, and I started calling. I managed to call this song dog in and stick him at 35 yards. I'm really...- BOHNTR

AZ Mule Deer/Javelina Hunt (pics)
Just got back from my annual Arizona archery desert mule deer hunt. Since I had a 2010 tag, I headed over a few days early (27th) with the hopes of tagging a buck before the end of the year. After a few close encounters, I ended up arrowing this 24” wide 3x4 on the last day of the season... -
CA Desert Coyote (pics)
Went out this morning in Mojave desert near my house with the hopes of calling in a coyote close enough to take with my bow and arrow. Figured it would be a good tune-up for next week's Arizona archery deer trip. At the second stand area, this male yote came trotting on in looking for an easy...- BOHNTR
