    That's always cool. Those bulls get pretty dumb that time of year. Thanks for sharing. I wish more people would share experiences,pictures and videos. 

    You are absolutely right. Great video!

    But anymore it is tough to share pictures and videos to sites like this. Too many guys are overly eager to critique every they "perceive" you did wrong, why you shouldn't be doing what you did or how you did it, how they know everything about a situation they didn't witness or have first hand knowledge of, etc. It sucks being excited about something and eager to share it, only to have the armchair QBs knock you and it. It takes a lot of the joy out of it and makes you want to keep those things private, or for your immediate circle. At the very least, this has largely been my experience and the experience of many of my close friends.

    Most of my hunts these days are for my kids and wife. I can't stand to see someone rip my kids or wife for not being the perfect hunter (it has happened multiple times). One guy even made a DB comment to my 12 year old daughter, face to face, about her "bad shot placement" on a javelina that took her from the high of a successful hunt to immediate tears. I don't associate with that friend any longer after having words with him. I should be a better person and ignore the nonsense and idiots, but unfortunately it is not who I am. So I just don't share much publicly anymore.

    Sorry to hijack the thread. Just something I unfortunately have strong feelings about. I am glad guys like you (the OP) and Houston are still comfortable sharing. Again, great video and thank you for sharing it.

    WHT_MTNMAN is dead on. It is tough to make money as a guide. If you are just looking to spend more time outdoors, there are always people looking for help individually, at youth camps, etc. That may be a good way to start and to see if you really want to jump in. I'm lucky to have some guide friends who take pity on me and allow me to help out with glass for them, check out spots while they hunt others with clients, etc. I don't get any money out of it (no one in their right mind would hire me!), but it gets me in the mountains which is a pretty great reward on its own.

    I must work for the AZGFD because I do a little research and I don't bash them for every decision they make that I don't agree with.

    I don't know why you won't just answer the question? There are some genuinely great top notch people that work for AZGFD, just not on the commission.
