Great topic Eric..... Hands down my single most memorable hunt was in 2009 when my son drew his first ever elk tag. Not just for the time spent afield, but also the time spent on the road to and from the hunt....time together in the tent on a few very cold nights playing cards and time spent with some new friends at their Thanksgiving table. Anyone recognize the guy on the far left?

Great bull Ryan........Why wasn't I invited along on the hunt? Kinda hurts my feelers..........Congrats buddy.

SD.......Congrats. on a great tag! All of us here in Calif are hoping to pull one of those sheep tags in our lifetime. I would give Don Anderson (805 466-3240) of Anderson Taxidermy and Guide Service a call. That guy can flat out find BIG animals. Be it Big Sheep, Giant Coues Deer or Monster Bears, Don will not steer you wrong. Good luck with your Sheep Hunt......Jim

Bill, The deer numbers are nowhere near that any longer. Pig population fluctuates with the rainfall and as I said before our tule elk population has taken off in this area. Here are the bulls we have taken in the last few years. 2007 Tule Bull 277 S.C.I. 2008 Tule Bull 299 S.C.I/

Rumor has it that your very own Bullwidgeon and his side kick Goerge are on their way back from the great state of California after a successful few days of hog hunting. Bret "FINALLY" took us up on our offer to come hang out with the cool people and see how we do things out here. Has anyone heard from the little fella? Maybe he's lost and cant find his way back to the land of the cactus.

Bill, Like many western states, deer numbers are way down in the last 10 years. Still some decent bucks around, but the good ones are much harder to come by. The Tule elk have really taken off in this area. We get one PLM tag a year for Tule bulls. If Bret would have kept focused and looked for pigs instead of glassing up turkeys, deer and elk......................maybe we would have seen more pigs. Jim

Hey Chris, good to see your still kickin'. we are really lookin forward to that 6A tag, it will be Nolan's first elk hunt. Bill, The Eade ranch is just north of San Ardo, I am not sure if they still commercially hunt it or have a hunt club on it now. As the crow flies it cant be more than 15 miles to the ranch where Bret stayed and killed his pigs.

Bret, Glad you and George made it home safely. It was good to see and we had a great time hanging out with you. Spanky, I will be heading out that way in late November, my 17 y.o. son drew a 6A bull tag. Bullwidgeon promised Nolan that he would find us a couple of 390ish bulls close to the road with no hunting pressure........what a guy. Bill, The area we hunt is just north of Paso Robles in southern Monterey county. The turkeys we have down here are Rio's and yes in the last few years the Tule population has taken off. tjhunts, We do guide full time out here. Bret's hunt was just couple of buddy's hunting together. A few years ago Bret and his family took us under their wing and helped us out on a jav-a-lino hunt in southern Az.

I am looking for two of the older yellow Motorola Talkabout Distance or two of the grey Motorola Talkabout Distance DPS. I need to combine these with a few sets that we have. Thank you, Jim

Hey Chris, Looks like you and the family had a great time. I struck out again in all the Az. draws, but I should be getting closer with 16 elk points next year. A buddy of mine drew the elk tag that I have been after, so I will make it out that way in a few months. Hope all is well with you and your family. Take care, Jim

From one "Newbie" to another.........Great Buck

Hey guys, I just returned from a great hunt down in Mexico and your very own SunDevil (Chris) happened to be one of the guides in camp. He was a great guy to meet, honest and hard working. Four of us clowns from California flew into Tucson and drove south of the border for a enjoyable and very successful hunt. I have been around the hunting industry for awhile, but this happened to be the first guided hunt I have ever been on and it lived up to all it was billed as. My good friend Doug was along for his second hunt in as many years with this outfit and I felt very comfortable with his recommendation of this outfitter. Good ranches and very competent guides made for a successful hunt for all four of us. I don't have pics. of all the bucks and if I can figure out how to post some, I will add some at the end of the post. Well thats it in a nutshell. Once again "Thank you Chris" for a great time down in your neck of the woods. Jim My Buck Same good lookin' guy Doug's last day buck

Hey Guys......Thanks for all the nice comments and welcomes to the site. Here are a couple of pictures that Chris sent to me. Adams first coues deer...........SunDevil was his guide. Table of bucks

Congrats on a couple of great bucks..........you sure cant beat Mexico for fresh tortillas, good beer and great bucks. Jim

Great Buck, Great story and Great pics........congratulations

Hey Guys, Long time lurker here, who thought its about time I stand up and become part of the group. Though I am not a Arizona resident, I have been fortunate enough in the past to hunt in your great state. Its been a few years since I have had a primo tag in Az., so for now, I'll just keep collecting my points. Like some of you, I am a father who gets no greater pleasure in life than hunting with my teenage son, Sure its great to have your hunting buddies or people you work with to enjoy the outdoors. But man, it is so cool to be out in the early morning hours walking, glassing or just sitting quietly waiting for the sun to rise and have your son tell you "this is the best part of the day, to bad so many people miss it". Sure, maybe he heard that somewhere before, but to hear him say it with meaning.....just lets a guy know maybe he did something right. Anyways, like many of you I have the passion for the outdoors and am lucky enough to spend more than my fair share doing what I truely enjoy. This past year I struck out in all out of state drawings, so I have had to live my hunting life through some of your stories here. Thank you. Well I best run for now, have some Christmas shoppin' to do, hope to see ya around on the board. Take care, Jim

Brett, You seem to be out tippin' over elk all over the state, save one for me. Next year I will have "ONLY" 14 points and am hoping the draw gods will start glancing my way. Not sure which show you saw Doug on, it may have been an old one. Sunday morning on OLN / Versus, check out Expedition Safari you may recognize a couple of goofballs you ran into out in the desert a few years back. Take care, Jim

Hey Brett........Congratulations from Calif. I'll let Doug know you got lucky and found a great bull to run into your arrow. Tell your family "Hello" for me and I hope to see you at the "Rock Pile" next Feb. Take care, Jim
