Well you guessed it. Rob and I took off on another adventure. He invited me with a group to catch a few fish in Old Mexico. Again another great trip and awesome fish and memories.

Next up Rob and I took some of our family to NM for Oryx. my son and son in law had a great time shooting their first Oryx. Rob’s brothers shot some also I didn’t get pictures of them all

First trip of the year was our annual Mexico trip. I’ve been with Rob in old Mexico maybe 12-13 times. As always a great trip with friends. This year was tough in regards to big bucks but we had a great time regardless and still killed some solid bucks. I haven’t killed a buck for a few years now I’m hoping we can manage for older class bucks but who knows, it seems like we never see the same deer anyway.

I need to add a few adventures from this year. My dad and I went to POW island to catch a few silvers. We had a great time.

Here is my son’s 2025 NM mule deer. 470 yards, 6.5 prc, 156 Berger EOL. We spotted this buck right at first light. He bedded without giving us an opportunity. We set up and waited, and as the sun started to shine on him he stood up to change beds and my son sent a Berger through his shoulder. Truly Blessed!!!!

True. I just like to fish and try to do one trip a year with my son out of state each year. I'm old and he has heart failure so we make the best of it.

You must not be eating carbs if that what intrigues you about the post. Lol

Yeah I like to fish, but it wasn't my dream trip. As I thought it about it I decided it didn't matter. I needed to do more with my dad. Who knows how long we each have on this earth

Here is my hunt recap. My Dad and I came up Wednesday and went out in the evening to see what we could find. Driving around we saw probably 30-40 deer, mostly does but a couple of very small bucks. Thursday we head out and don’t see much in the morning. Even after the rain we got ~3 weeks ago the area was back to being pretty dry so we head to a water catchment and glass from a high point in the road. We were able to glass up group of about 10-12 does. We go check out another water catchment and discover someone had constructed a blind. Friday morning we setup in some of the clear cut to glass. We see a couple groups of does and one single deer I could not determine if it was a buck or not prior to it going into cover. We move to another area but don’t see anything. For the evening we decided to sit in the blind we found at the second water catchment. After about an hour and a half a couple of does come in to drink. After about an hour my dad decided he has to stretch his legs and walks up the hill away from the catchment. While he is gone a deer comes in and it’s a buck! I text my Dad not to come back so he doesn’t scare it away. Of course there are 2 small trees that he drinks behind leaving no shot. It feels like forever that he is drinking behind the trees and my dad is texting what was going on. As he is leaving he finally presents me a shot at about 70 yards. After a long night of breaking it down and the long drive out we were both exhausted but thrilled that I was actually about to be successful and share the hunt together.

You're a hater! 😁 I know nothing of RMBS hunting, but I'm still going to comment cuz it's the Interwebz. I'll give these guys the benefit of the doubt about pursuing "fair chase" for this ram until I see/read evidence otherwise. I will say this: what names are on the channel? That should always make one wary of a video like this. And remember boys and girls: Only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. Eddie P.S. Not to be a complete Debbie downer...it's is a beautiful animal and the video is fun to watch.

After spending 3 days in the desert heat looking for a shooter for my Dad, I was finally able to dig up this buck right as the sun was fading on Sunday. With not much time to make a move, I set him up to take a shot @ 665 yards. Luckily the buck was preoccupied with barrel cactus fruits and gave him plenty of time to squeeze off a shot. The hit was solid and the buck dropped out of sight into a nearby wash. We decided to head to his last location and found him piled up not 20 yards from where the shot took place. Anybody else see a lot of malnourished deer this year? A majority of the does in the area we hunted were showing how rough the summer was on them for sure.

My boy has been making us some great dinners out of his deer.

Where are you located? I've got a couple of them that you can just have.

Birthday dinner and desert. Momma made me "carne en su yugo" (meat in its own juices). Cook bacon and steak cut up with beans, tomatillos, peppers cilantro etc. Very very good and unique flavor, I highly recommend you try it. Never had it until trying it at Taco giro here in SV Desert was pf Chang's banana spring rolls with fruit and vanilla ice cream

That’s awesome!! Dad and I were in the middle of planning a halibut trip when he passed away. Enjoy the time while you got it.
