Here are picture from the first archery hunt in 2010. We went three for five with a lot of action for all. We are still in mountains, so watch for detailed hunting stories when we get back!

The season has started off with great results. We had 3 hunters out of five kill bulls on our first archery hunt with the biggest being taken by Kurt Larson. This is the 7th bull out of 8 hunts that Kurt has taken with us. We just finished with our 2nd hunt and had 2 hunters out of 3 kill bulls. Dave Anana took the best on this hunt and this is his 4th bull out of five hunts with us. All hunters saw a fair number of bulls and had some pretty good action.

We are in the final stages of putting the finishing touches on the rest of the camps and getting ready for a busy rifle season. We'll keep you posted.

 

We had to weasel through four other bulls to get to this one.  Our bugling, raking and incessant cow calls were too much motivating him to confront the challenger without hesitation.  He was on us in seconds requiring a hard cow call to stop him at 15 yards.  The arrow blew through arrested only by a natural formation beyond the animal.  Smarting but confused the bull bolted then composed himself directly between my partner and I.  The large entry and exit holes confirmed finality.  The blonde titan staggered away, bedded then took his last breath.  He was a fighter with much of his forehead hair rubbed bare and numerous neck/body scars from encounters with other bulls.  He was a beautiful gift.
