October never fails!!!!

My Sister-in-law shot a nice bull. Unfortunately I had other commitments (kids hunts) and couldn't get the time off to tag along. My brother would send me pics and videos every day of the hunt. They found a huge unique bull and they spent 4 days playing cat and mouse with it. They passed on a few nice bulls trying to be patient to find this unique bull. Getting close to the end of the hunt they found this awesome bull. They had alot of friends and family helping out on this once and lifetime hunt. She made a great shot! Wish I could have been there.

No impact on San Carlos as most of the runoff went towards Roosevelt. San Carlos area had its own short-lived flood event but most people don't realize just how far the water has to travel to reach the Lake and most of that route is very sandy with big S curves that don't help. Current water level is 0.39%. On a positive note a bunch of our dirt ponds filled back up and should be ready for restocking immediately. DAN

Well guys tough hunt. I’m sure everyone thinks of archery bull u think of rut, calling, lots of elk and chances. Well not this one. Been tough but we know the unit well so we are still getting chances. Up at 345 am looking for bugles for 2 hours and not one. Frustrating. We head to our glassing knob and run into a herd leaving a field. No giant bulls but I have both my sons with me and if I can make another memory with both I will try. We get in front of the herd and boom perfect. I see them coming but slightly different angle. We move up about 100 yds and fuk!!!!!! Herd cow was way ahead of them in a cedar tree and busted. They run out. Crap. There was 3 smaller hulls that u never know might have shot. Head back to cabin and guess what. Prairie dog time with the new pellet gun. Took out another 5 and took a nap. Evening hunt. Glass a herd 3 miles away. We head out there and park about 1/2 mile away. Wind was my big concern but there was just no way around them. Decent 6 bull with 30 Cows. We get about 500 yds away and notice they are acting weird. We sit still and I swear they winded us at 400 yds. They gone. Back at it tomorrow. No good video just them running away. IMG_0822.mov

My 17 year old daughter got her first big game kill opening morning in unit 7. So proud of her! She did everything right, well composed, and a well placed single lethal shot. I feel a little guilty bragging on her when I know so many have been putting in for longer than she has been on this earth, but still grateful for her first, of hopefully several, hunting adventures. After today I think she has caught the fever!

I know this rut has been tough this year but wanted to share a successful harvest from my Az archery hunt. Day 11 it came together. Now onto sons youth deer hunt

Nice deer . Just another week and a half and I'll be in 6a for elk .

I have a Hunter brand leather shotgun belt. Its too small for me. I have a 34" waist and think this needs a 30" or less. FREE if you can use it. Must be picked up at Main Street and Stapley in Mesa.

Headed up early in the morning. Going to try to get a top water bite. Then throw a jerk bait or crank bait of some kind. And if all else fails, Go to a drop shot. Hopefully I will have some luck.

I was there a week ago... square bills in like a gizzard shad color, (Gold over white) in 5- 7ft of water along rocky banks and points was good. Also drop shot in 15-20ft of water with Arrons Magic robo worms or a Berkley power worm blue/green flake fished texas rigged also did good. We mainly fished in around the Salamae cove area.

Here are some recent skulls I've finished.

I just got back from the greatest hunting experience of my life up until this point, maybe ever, though hopefully there are more adventures like this to come. Newfoundland moose with my grandfather, uncle, and younger brother. My uncle and brother and I were all fortunate to bag great bulls. The rut hadn’t kicked in yet so we weren’t able to call as much as we were anticipating, a lot of hiking through swampy bogs and tundra thickets, glassing from the tops of rolling hills and ridges. The first day we glassed up a small bull at first light and watched him move across the opposite canyon side for a while. Then we hiked a few miles further from camp and came to the edge of a cliff where there was a bear on a rock directly below us, and another young bull with 4 cows a few hundred yards further out below us. We watched the bull for a bit, it would have been a super easy shot as he was bedded 250 yards below us with no clue we were there, but he just wasn’t big enough for the first day. My uncle got his bull that morning though. The next day was cloudy and the fog rolled in while my grandpa and his guide were stalking a big bull a couple miles away, ruining their stalk. Then it poured rain most of the rest of the day so we stayed at the same little glassing knob the rest of the day. Funny enough, we had a small forky bull walk through a bog just 400 yards below us in about the only spot you could see with the fog. Adam (my guide) made a quick cow call to him and he turned on a dime making his way toward us. We lost him in the steel thicket at the bottom of the hill below us but probably 45 minutes later he showed up 100 yards behind us. That was the only bull we saw that day. The next day we headed back straight to the spot where we’d seen the bear the 1st day, and then about a mile further out to a big open valley. It took us about 4 hours to get there but after 10 minutes of glassing Adam glassed up a bull about 2 miles away with a few cows. You could barely see his paddles from that far away, they were like white specks, but we know if we could see them from that far away he had to be a decent bull. ‘well after about 3 hours of plowing through tuckerbrush, sinking through bogs and crossing streams we got to where we thought the bull had been. Of course with it being so much later in the day I had just about given up on finding the bull, especially because once we got to the general area we realized the ‘hill’ he had been on was such a gentle slope and so thick and flat you really couldn’t see more than 100 yards in front of you. Well that was just when Adam whispered, ‘there he is! Get your gun on my shoulder!’ All you could see was his antlers sticking up in the brush about 100 yards in front of us. Adam made a bunch of cow calls at him but could not get him to stand up, finally he just started yelling “moose! Get up!” And that got him up. I emptied my gun at him and he didn’t go anywhere but just stood there, finally falling over for me to run over to him after 4 shots. I was ecstatic. My brother got his bull that same day about 10 miles in the other direction from camp. We both had to spend the night out on the bogs before we could make it back to camp since we had shot our bulls so far from camp and so late in the day. It wasn't too cold but my clothes were wet from sweating and sinking in bogs all day so it was a pretty miserable night, though I probably saw more stars that night than I’ll ever see again in my life. Huge thanks to my guide Adam for filming the shot while letting me shoot off his shoulder. I’m still amazed he did that for me; I didn’t even ask him to film it, he just whipped out his phone right before I started blowing out his eardrums. And of course thank you to my grandfather for the hunt of a lifetime.

That’s intake in booking at the Maricopa County Jail, not a police station. Everything has been taken from him, he just hasn’t changed clothes yet. He’s
