Here is a picture of a lion from this year. We were scouting for rocky mtn sheep and we were glassing from a road. We would have to move every so often to see through the pines. On one of my moves I caught movement down below me about a 100yds. At first glance I thought it was a deer coming up then I saw his head and knew right away what it was. This is the first time I thought a lion might be stalking me. My buddy was maybe 75 yds away I yelled at him to come check ou this lion. He thought I was kidding him. The lion gave me enough time to walk back to the truck get my camera and get some picture's. He wasnt scared of us. He even moved closer. I glassed another lion in Mexico this year that made #17.

We usally have a table.

Great bucks for sure.

Great bucks Keven, Do you have a score on the bigger buck.

Here are three of mine from my dall sheep hunt this past Aug. Glassing for rams. Crossing the freezing cold river Finally packing ouy my ram

Awesome buck Josh

Hope you had a great day Doug. And many more to come.

Primetime, You could have left that ugly guy in the second photo on the right out of the pictures. Congrats on some good bucks. Gime me a call if you still have the #.

Amanda, We have brought lots of deer meat back from Mexico. We tell our hunter's if they are going to bring it back to bring a extra ice chest. It doesnt really make a lot of sence that you have to boil and clean a skull but you can bring back meat just about any way you want. As for bring meat in to Mexico we have never had any problems. The info Tony posted in for entry in to the U.S. not into Mexico. I would'nt think the Mexicans would'nt really care if you brought elk, or deer in.

Hope you all have a great holiday season. Congrat to you all. Lots of great bucks and other game taken this year so far.

Is this the same Jason from the Kiabab.

Great bull. Congrats, Lots of big bull hittin the dirt this year. What happened to his right eye.

You will start to get more sleep soon but enjoy every minute. Before you know it there 12 8 6 and three years old. Congrats.

Look's like the wrongway bull met the Rightway boys. Great job Jim and crew.

Great goat Jack. Congrats to Dave.

Just returned from the NWT where I was able to take the second ram towards my slam. While I was there I was lucky enough to tag a mountain caribou as well.

It really doesnt matter what he scores. Those NT bucks are hard to come by. You did good. If I was to guess 105 gross. Congrat's again.

I know you guys are probaly getting bored of this topic but here are a few more picture's. The first one is the helicopter they flew us in on and the second is the one they picked me up in and flew me back to base camp. When the hunt was over they sent in a float plane to pick us up. That was awesome to watch him land & take off.

Great buck's you've been posting Jim. Are they off a ranch you will be hunting?. I would of still been happy with 118. It's tough to judge mass on any animal

Good job Casey. I wouldnt have put the it on the velvet anyway. I always take photo's without the tag. You can put it the leg if you like.

Some of the bigger stone sheep outfitters are getting around $35,000.00. The elevation is what really surprised me up there. We camped at 4500 ft. Here is some video I took with my digital camera. Sorry it's not that great.

Thanks again for all the comment. It's a trip you all need to do if you can. Here is a picture of a water fall I thought was pretty cool. This next picture kind of show's you some of the terrain we climbed in. If you look Just under the spotting scope that is the bench we camped on. We would climb anywhere from a 1000 to 1500 ft a day. It looks easy to get around in but it sucks. Everything is straight up and rocky. It's all shell and sharp. Gino could verify how ruff it is.

Maybe Casey will let you use one of his big buck's Sorry Casey could'nt help myself. Cant wait till you Kill a monster this year.

azshtr, While we were huntig in the NWT Greg had a accident involving a horse and broke his leg pretty bad on the last day of the hunt. He had to be flown out of the hunting area by helicopter to Norman Wells. Once he was there they took him to Yellowknife for Surgery. Apperently the doctor did'nt do that good of job. He going to have a couple other surgeries to fix the mistake from the first surgery. Keven,Yes I am planning on doing a full mount some what like my desert. Gino, I would love to do another dall but I have to get my stone booked before they get completey out of hand. I went with Ramhead outfitters. Who can see what I saw. Here is a couple other picture's you guys might like. I took this photo of a couple of guide's who were trying to stalk the first ram. While they were setting there the second ram came over the top and was only 10 ft away.

Thanks evrybody, It was truly a hunt of a lifetime. Az Griz, That is really to bad that he wont be able to use that tag. Hopefully he able to go desertsheep hunting in Dec. Gino maybe we can do a stone sheep hunt together. I am trying to get one done by 2009. Here is a fewpicture's for you bear guy's. Luckily we glassed these bear on a flat right before we dropped of a bench headed to another mountain to look for ram's. These are some photo's of my ram and his buddies on the first day that I past him up. they were at 212 yds. This one's through the spotting scope.
