    Great North Kaibab Deer Hunt of 2018

    In 2008 some friends and I drew deer tags for 12A West. We went into that hunt blindly thinking big deer would be everywhere and ended up getting our butts handed to us. Wanting redemption, I've been trying to draw that tag ever since. Fast forward to this summer, I got wind that cards were...

    A good morning hunt with Gus

    After an unseasonably warm November in the Phoenix area it finally cooled off enough to chase some quail. My shorthair Gus is pushing 11 and probably doesn't have many hunting years left on the clock so I'm hoping to get him out 3 or 4 times this season. Saturday morning was windy by...

    Hanna

    This is an older movie but one of my favorites. Best opening scene ever: A young girl wearing animal furs shoots a caribou with a selfbow out on the frozen taiga of northern Europe. She runs the animal to ground and stands over it as it takes its final breaths. She says, "I just missed your...

An Animal Damage Control officer in Wyoming who is tracking a lion on the Wind River Reservation comes across a different set of tacks that lead to the body of a friend's daughter frozen in the snow. A rookie FBI agent from...

    First Archery Deer

    I've been chasing deer in Arizona with my bow off and on for the last twenty years or so. Three years ago I decided to get serious about the January archery season and learn a few new areas close to home and was rewarded with several blown stalks and one missed shot. I was able to burn some...

    January javelina and deer was a great start to 2015

    January was an awesome start to the 2015 hunting season. I filled one of my two archery javelina tags hunting 3 separate units over 5 days of hunting. I ended up shooting this sow opening weekend in a metro unit not far from Chucky D's neck of the woods. That day got off to a bad start as I...

    My Coues Gift Buck

    I struck out in the AZ deer draw again this year and made plans with my brother to pick up leftover tags for a border unit that's been good to me the last few years. The hunt started the day after Thanksgiving, we let the weekend crowds thin out and drove down Sunday afternoon. My brother, his...

    Brother's first elk hunt (AZ)

    My brother drew a bull tag in unit 22N and spent a lot of time scouting this fall. I took the week off work to help with his hunt and I'm glad I did because he didn't get his bull till the last morning. We found some bulls and had some missed opportunities on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday and...

    2013 S. Az Coues Hunt

    I'm all packed up and ready to head down south at 0-dark-30. The hunt started this morning, it was a struggle to make it through work today. I plan to stay down there till the end of the hunt on Thursday. I'll try to post some updates and pics from the field if I get a chance.

    Fast and Furious Dove Hunt

    On my way home from work yesterday I decided it's been too long since I've seen dove feathers float softly from the sky. I stopped at the house grabbed a shotgun and whatever shells were left in my bird belt from last year and hit the road. Normally it's a half hour drive to my favorite tank...

    My brother's first javelina

    My younger brother didn't express an interest in hunting till a few years ago so I helped him put in for some hunts. His first tag was a leftover javelina tag last year and I was able to take him out for a few days. It was crazy windy the whole time and we didn't see anything but deer the whole...

    Javier and I

    After 2 unsuccessful archery seasons I finally killed my first Javelina. My friends and I hunted the same part of unit 20A as last year so we had a good idea where the "piggy" areas were. I didn't have any problems finding pigs the first weekend but I did have a problem shooting them as I...

    2012 Southern AZ Coues Deer Hunt

    Due to a SNAFU with my brother and dad I wasn't able to put in for a leftover deer tag in the unit I normally hunt. I ended up getting a late October tag for a different unit down on the border that I've never been to. I studied maps, talked to a friend that's hunted that unit a few times and...
