1) 2.5 yrs
2) Black face, large black cheek mark, 13”+ horns, 6” prongs, curl on the top of the horns all contribute to the classic pronghorn buck look
3) first week of October looked like pretty much peak rut this year (where I am from in AZ it’s more like early September)
4) No, but an...
Judging from the stories I hear from family who lives there, the city has a heroin problem. I've always enjoyed my time there but it faces many of the struggles other mid-sized semi-rural locations do.
I wish I could say what has got them interested. I don’t really know what it was. Let can say that when we eat game meat, which is multiple times per week, I always tell them what it is and the stories of how it was harvested. We look for animals whenever we are out and about. I praise them...
I’ve waited for that pic for 13 years. The boys were getting impatient with me retaking it until it was perfect, I told them in 20 years they would thank me.
After a whirlwind Wyoming antelope hunt with my youngest son Nash, we returned home just in time to sleep in our beds for a night before heading out on his older brother Hunter’s youth cow elk hunt.
It was a dream come true for me as my Dad joined my sons for a hunt for the first time ever. We...
Thanks all. The kindness showed to us by many ht’ers and everyone along our way was amazing. No doubt about it, memories for a lifetime!
Here are some more pics from the trip. Don’t worry about the bottles, we have a tradition of drinking root beer when we fill a tag.
My son Nash earned straight A’s all year last year and as a reward we applied for antelope in WY. He just turned 12 last month so he didn’t have any pts and I only had a couple. We picked a unit with ok draw odds but not a lot of public.
The bucks were skittish for sure. After trying...
Interesting sentiment. If we are talking western hunting then I suspect you are right. But if we are including all the bears killed in the country (or world) I suspect those figures might flip. Think about all the bears in the upper midwest, New England, Carolinas, Canada and Alaska. None of...
Is it not enough that you are being paid by my local game agency to hunt in our state with their personnel. Now you would like me to pay for a subscription service to watch you do it. All while eroding the opportunities that exist in my state through relentless promotion to non-residents of a...
For those who are interested AZ is accepting suggestions for their hunt guidelines until 9/1. I have linked my recommendations here to share with you. If something strikes a chord or if something else has been on your mind now is the time to reach out to AZGFD.
Keep in mind that many of my...
