Chef

very nice! exceptional now that you have trail cam pics too!

Your son is turning out to be one tough son of a gun! Kudos to him for hanging in there and getting the job done. Its all worth it when the game hits the ground. Congrats to you all.

Family is doing a great job with the stink pigs! Congrats to you all!

That's some excitement right there! Cool story and congratulations!

Great write up Amanda. that puzzle rock is cool! Looks like some great coues country there.

Everything has been looking pretty darn good Amanda!

Congratulations to both of you! I can see why you named your buck Slant. Your Dads buck is awesome!

She definitely has had a phenomenal season! Congrats to you all!

Hope it's a great success for you both! I'll miss it as I'll be hunting but best of luck.

Congrats on the success Dillon!

Congrats and thanks for sharing with us. Looks like you have a piece of heaven with monsters down there!

Congrats again Phil on a phenomenal buck. I can't say enough good things about the trip, the hunting crew, and hosts. It was an absolute blast and I rank this hunt as one of my top two all time hunts. Interestingly enough, it's the people and camaraderie that raise things to the next level every time. On your specific buck hunt, things could have turned out very bad. From us falling off that cliff, to never finding the buck again. Things just play out textbook sometimes. Putting our minds together and putting forth the extra effort really paid dividends. It was a pleasure my friend. My legs may never forgive you but I enjoyed it! Here is another shot of the canyon where Phil took his hard earned buck. (enlarge to get the best image otherwise it looks bad)

Congrats! Looks like a happy family right there!

TJ, Yes he does.

Great buck! Congratulations!

Chris, Yeah, they are top notch and classy. We didn't have the sweet tamales but did enjoy dinner with beef tamales one evening. He did bring in some sweets made locally and even rice flan prepared by his wife, and pies prepared by his daughter. Justo Sr surprised us with a quart of re-fried beans and six dozen flour tortillas to each of us when we left. Needless to say, I've been enjoying them since!

Thanks! The main beams were each 18+" BTW

Thanks guys! cramerhunts should be posting his story up soon. He shot a BEAUTY of a buck and we took video footage after the kill. He always has lots of trail camera shots as well as you all know. It was great down there with such great guys. Here's a shot after the first week... Here is Peloncillo caping out and preparing skulls... One of my favorite pics...Phil "high rackin" it!

That looks mighty tasty!

Mark is one of the best hunters I know. He certainly knows how to find the big animals. Congrats guys!

Great looking buck and pictures. What's your rifle set up?

Heck of a buck! Congrats!

Looks like you have plenty to work with! Looking forward to seeing how your dishes turn out. Just FYI, the more you mix the ground meat, the "stickier" it will get. Add a little salt as its the "primary binder" and will get the process going a little sooner. Keep posting your results!

Kevin! Great job on a fine buck man! That "Couesenitis" is hard to cure! I suffer from it BAD as well! I can't say enough great things about you and sharing camp with you down in Mexico. I know we'll share some laughs once again real soon. I still can't believe you lost your buck at the border! I ended up giving mine to Justo JR for a buck he had shot years back. If you couldn't get it clean enough, I knew they wouldn't pass mine, so I didn't want it to go to waste. Great job on the write up and I can't wait to see your mount when you are finished with him. I too am unpacking and downloading pics/vids and should have my story up here real soon. Great time with great hosts and hunting partners. Doesn't get much better.

Great write up Amanda! I bet all the food you got to try was amazing. I wonder how long it will be until you lose that southern drawl.
