We had three archery tags, one ham tag and one rifle tag and went 100% on all hunts all on film. We are still putting some film together and are pretty excited with our new camera. We are starting to see the difference in filming our hunts with a camera we can manage in the field. Here is on video from last year that we were able to create off Brittanys bear hunt. Please feel free to let us know what we can do more of or different. We know in our heads what we can do better but hearing it from others help also! Good luck in the antelope/elk draw this year. We are excited for the chance at some elk tags!<br />

This year while putting in for deer I put in for harder hunts to draw in hopes I could pull a left over comes deer tag and hunt a unit I have never hunted with a chance of pulling a buck. Well I didn't draw a tag and was successful on getting a left over tag in a unit I had hunted next to but never in.Check out the buck I was able to harvest with good friend Adam Faz helping me along the way.<br />

They both had mule deer tags that were good for four units. We were able to hunt around and try and dodge the crowds while seeing a lot of bucks. We saw over 45 bucks through the 2 ands 1/2 days of hunting. Saturday night Jr struck first and shot his second buck at 170 yards. The following day Keigan was able to hammer her buck at 165 yards. Both made excellent shots that required one shot with no trailing! Me and Brittany had an absolute blast getting away and making some memories watching these kids have fun!<br />

Heres my father's archery bull for 2014! We had an amazing 8 days in the woods with him harvesting his bull on the 6 day of the hunt. Lots of close encounters and lots of miles were put on our boots while we pursued these amazing animals. Ill have some video and more pictures soon!Kevin and Brittanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10129377107624984090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988413735277243662.post-58656261557732033422014-09-08T13:00:00.000-07:002014-09-08T13:00:00.853-07:00Arizona OTC Bucks 2014Well hunting season is finally here and we have been running around like crazy trying to prepare for the upcoming hunts. Archery deer came first and opening weekend me and Britt were able to sneak away for a day and a half to chase velvet muleys. I told Brittany it was all fee this year and I left my bow at home. She has been shooting and preparing for a couple months now and is shooting great. It is so hard to tell some one who has not had an opportunity at an animal larger then a pig what the feeling is like when you try and make your shot. To some it might not affect them but to those who truly love the sport it does! Anyways we broke out our new camera a Canon G30 and here is the result. We were on a lot of bucks and she missed a 35 yard shot, ( that i didn't film ) and turned and looked at me smiling and said, " I'm shaking so bad!! " Archery bull start soon so good luck to everyone with archery tags in their pocket!<br />

So for her 2 birthday she received a Tinkerbell fishing pole, Brittany and I could not wait for the fishing trips to come so we could see Lacey catch her first fish. Almost as if I was waiting for an elk hunt to open, I could not retain my excitement to get her on the water for the first time and show her some bluegill. We were a little early for the big groups of bluegill to be in the shallows but we did manage to find some in some reeds and Lacey was able to catch a couple. Being a hunter you get to feel the over whelming rush of adrenaline take your body over and its something that I to this day get on any hunt I'm on. Well today taking Lacey fishing was a different rush but once she had her fish on I could not be any more happier with our beautiful daughter as she screamed as the fish got pulled out of the water. The nervous thoughts of will she like the outdoors and the activities we love to do. So far she has been with us on hunts or just trips in the woods and she loves it. She is our little girl but she doesn't mind looking for deer or grabbing worms to fish with!<br />

The over whelming feeling of having a two year old and an infant really sank in when we got home this time. Our son Trevor Jay was born on march 27 at 7am weighing an ounce over 7 pounds. He has brought so much joy to our family and our daughter couldn't be any more proud of her "buddy" as she calls him. I'm so excited for what the future holds for our little hunting family and can't wait for the day me and Trevor can sneak out of the house with to go on new adventures.<br />

To say the year was successful is an understatement.... My first hunt was with Cindi Richardson on a hunt she had booked with Vaquero Outfitters on a private ranch in central Arizona. Cindi and I hunted hard for 6 days before finding a bull she wanted to pursue. On the morning of the 6th day we found a bull we wanted to go after and spent all day trying to accomplish it. I'm going to let the pictures say the rest in hopes the story will be published but Cindi's bull ended up officially scoring 429 gross and 388 net. Congrats again Cindi, thank you for a day I'll never forget!!<br />

Next I had a hunt with Keith Kocher from Phoenix. Keith was coming out to hunt with Vaquero and myself on an Arizona elk hunt. We hunted hard for 6 days also having awesome encounters up close and personal at 5 yards. The bulls were fired up and getting with it and we got to enjoy it. Keith did not want to leave this hunt without a bull and on the morning of his last day we chose to shoot this management bull to help the ranch out. We had an amazing time and made memories we soon will not forget. I called Keith's bull into 18 yards and he stood at full draw for almost two minutes before he delivered a perfect shot. His bull went 35 yards before falling over and expiring. Thanks Keith again, although we didn't find the big one we still had fun and got to enjoy Arizona in a way most will never have the chance to see.<br />

I guess ill start at the beginning.<br />
<br />
I was fortunate to tag along with good friend Jimmy and his father in law on his rifle antelope hunt in Northern Arizona. Opening day we looked at several bucks that we knew would not fit well with Delvins tag. All morning we drove and hiked through the areas they had scouted looking for a buck worthy of his tag and not till late in the afternoon we glassed up a buck a mile or so away. We could tell from the distance we were at this was a buck that needed closer look. We closed the distance down to 500 yards and confirmed this unique buck was one Delvin would like to try and take. Delvin, Jimmy and I closed the gap to 300 yards and re located the buck and his three does. 45 minutes later the buck stood up and started to walk off as we thought he might go water. Delvin settled in on the tri clawps system and range the buck at 320 using his Burris Eliminator II. One shot is all it took and Delvins years of waiting for his tag was all over, the buck dropped in his tracks. Delvins buck has two small prongs on one side and though he was shorter then we thought his mass helped out making him score 79.<br />

After finding a spot with a good number of birds in it awhile back and drawing the tag I could not wait for this hunt. The past two months my wife has taken our 1 year daughter, Lacey in the woods scouting for my turkey hunt. She did an amazing job on finding the birds and even getting some awesome photos and videos of them. Getting up early and making the long drive to this area and dealing with a toddler is no easy task. Thanks babe love ya!<br />
<br />
The night before the hunt I found myself getting off work and rushing to the woods to roost some birds. It was super windy and cold with even some rain to top it off, but I bared the elements and found the birds. The birds were very active and looked like if they roosted in an ideal spot the chance of me filling my tag would increase. But like most Arizona hunts the public comes in to play, here comes a quad flying down a dirt trail even off road at times and blows all the birds out and I'm scrambling to keep tabs on the two flocks. My worst fears again were haunting me that other hunters would spoil what I had coming the next morning.<br />

With that I patiently waited and watched as the birds headed for a group of trees right on a main rd!! I knew from last weekend there have been hunters drive right into the trees and try to locate birds out their window and blow them out of the roost. So now I'm really nervous and with that plan to leave super early so we have time to park and get close and let the birds do their thing.<br />

As we parked the toms are piping off and we are surrounded in this canyon by 5 or 6 toms. We stick to the plan and slip down along the meadow where we have watched the birds pitch into and scratch around. As soon as we set up some decoys and get comfy the birds pitch way early and now we have two gobblers at 100 yards strutting, now we just need them to see the decoys. A hen stepped in with them and we clucked back n forth and the toms looked our way only to hear the sound of a truck coming down the road...... The truck pulls right up to the field and blows the birds out and next the hunter starts calling from his truck. I'm furious now that people are their worst enemy when it comes to hunting, and why can I not escape from the idiot hunters!!!<br />
<br />
Nothing answers him and I call my wife who is positioned above me with good friend Artie glassing for me. I figured I would have hunters all over this spot and with good glass they let us know a big flock is moving away. My father and I slip over a couple ridges and set up and listen.. We can hear the clueless sounds coming from the hunter at his truck so we hold tight knowing the travel patterns of these birds from when we scouted. Soon three toms and a couple hens appear at 80 yards and they are trying to avoid the other hunter. They never once answered him or acted interested, and here they come our way. I'm trying to video at the same time and I'm sitting in the middle of an oak thicket was not allowing me time to do so. The lead tom hits an opening at 40 yards and I raise my gun and as the next tom enters I squeeze. BOOM!!! 645 am I am completed with my 2013 turkey hunt and all the excitment and waiting is over.<br />
<br />
Theres nothing I love more then spring time turkey action, and nothing better then having your father on your side and your wife with good friend watching from above. Thanks again guys on a fun and frustrating two hour hunt!! Theres always next year!<br />

Its finally here, the week I've been working towards for two months. Turkey season starts Friday and anticipation couldn't be any higher. We have followed and watched several flocks and several toms do there thing for what seems like a life time. Friday you can find us in the pines working on getting my 2013 turkey tag filled. Hopefully everything works out and we can put all the scouting and trips with our 1 year old to use. It has been awesome the time we have spent in the woods watching these beautiful birds. Stay tuned for the hunt!!!! Good luck to everyone with tags!!</div>

Scoutin For Gobblers! This morning we got our daughter up before the sun to take her out in the woods and try to locate some birds for my up coming hunt. Last time our daughter was listening to the sound of gobblers she was a week from entering the world, today she is two weeks from being one year old! With that we hit a couple spots and like it was a repeat from last year when the birds we gobbling. Trying to keep her quiet was difficult so me and Brittany took turns staying back with her to help keep Lacey occupied. I slipped down a draw and threw a couple clucks out and had birds answer and on top of me in no time. I stopped calling so I didn't educate them and just took some video and pictures. Once they left I walked back to Brittany and Lacey and it was Britts turn. I pointed her in the direction of a couple gobbles and she slipped into a 100 yards and the birds fed right up to her undetected. I received a text saying she was like a ninja and had birds all around her! She got some good videos and a couple good still photos. Im ready for April 26th now, more then ever! Such a different look at life with your one year old experiencing with her what we love with us! I just don't think she is ready for the actual hunt, not yet at least! Enjoy!!!<br />

While I stayed back watching Lacey my mom and dad along with Brittany videoing stalked some pigs!<br />
<br />
The next day I joined good friends Blake and Kaela on their left over tags in another unit. Snow fell and wind blew hard all day, but we were able to locate some pigs and get it done!!<br />
<br />
Check out the video from those two hunts just click on the link below!<br />

Tracking the pigs in the snow in some rough nasty thick country and see how it would turn out. Check out his blog for the story and some pictures, to say the least it was my funnest trip while being soaked to the bone from the snow!<br />

We are looking forward to the days ahead of us when she can understand and participate with us doing what we love.<br />

Well like every January we find our selves with our bows in our hands in search of Javelina. This year good friend Artie Garcia joined us on opening day for his attempt to harvest his first animal with a bow. January 1st me, Artie, Brittany and my dad set out to a spot close to home since the 1st was in the middle of the week. After an hour of glassing the herd was spotted and Artie was up first. We got to 40 yards of seven pigs and Artie took a shot, miss. He got another arrow out and hammered his pig at 43 yards no more then 200 yards below our glassing point.<br />

Well as soon as we finished with Artie's pig we glassed for another hour and couldn't relocate the herd so we were off to some more country in other units close by. An hour and half before dark we glassed up another herd in some country we used to hunt when I was a kid. This time Brittany was up and the race was on, we had alot of country to cross with little time. There were 8 pigs and soon we found ourselves within 18 yards of a mature pig feeding on roots. Brittany drew her bow 5 times on this pig as he would turn broadside then turn back, her patience has really matured the more experience she has gotten. Finally another mature pig came up to join and she drew as he cleared the cactus and stopped at 15 yards broadside. She made a perfect shot with her new Bowtec Heartbreaker shooting the ulmer edges, the pig fell over with a double lung shot and never got up.<br />

Now it was me and my dad left to fill our tags. We headed to the area where we pulled a double last year, where there is no shortage of pigs. It was now Saturday morning and as we reached our glassing spot at 7 am within 5 minutes my dad glassed up 6 mature pigs. We made a plan and told each other that the first one to get a shot to take it, with that said I told my dad for the years of me being a kid and going first it was his turn first. Soon we found ourselves 60 yards from the herd as they fed towards us. </div>

With me behind my dad the first shooter stepped from the brush and presented a shot. My dad took the shot and the pig went about 40 yards and laid down. With a follow up shot his pig was down and it was my turn. There were two pigs that had never heard the commotion and were laying down around a cactus. I slipped in to 30 yards and as the pig stood up I shot and missed. With a quick woof he stopped at 40 and I made a good shot making it our 4th double in four years.<br />

Opening morning came and all we saw were three little bulls and hunters around every corner. This year the tags had actually dropped in this unit but still in my opinion way too many. On the the second morning we went o some spots we usually can find some bulls, but someone beat us to the spot. Typically we see people that will beat us to our spot but wont know how to hunt it. Well that was the case here, we looped around and parked and took the further route in to the country we wanted to glass. As we are slipping quietly through the cedar pine mix I come around a tree and there feeding at 80 yards is a clean looking bull. On these late hunts our only goal is a clean unbroken bull, 6 point or better. The bull continues to feed with his six buddies that were all smaller and my uncle takes aim. I throw a cow call out and the bull turns broadside and BOOM! We had about a 200 yard blood trail and bull #2 was down! My dad and my cousin were also here and between the four of us it made for an easy pack out!<br />

Saturday evening after getting to camp at 12 pm with my uncles bull I elected to pack up and head home to tag along with my wife, her brother in law and her mom, on Stacis late bull hunt in central Arizona. Sunday morning trying to roll out of bed was hard, but the thought of bringing home another bull got us all up and out the door. We were accompanied by some good friends Blake and Kaela that would also set up high and glass while we did the same some where else. We hike up in the dark to our knob and not even set up tri pods and I look up across from us and there is three bulls feeding up the other side of the canyon. We gather ourselves quickly and the pursuit is on! We still can't shoot but we are at 500 yards and getting closer quickly. I step out real quick and glance at them and Aaron takes a range reading, 338! Still being a far shot we were straight across from the bulls, the lower and closer we would have got the more up hill Staci would have had to shoot. I lay my pack against a rock and get her settled in and wait as Brittany and Aaron set up to find the biggest. I hear Brittany whisper the lower bull has little kickers so with that we studied and talked over about making a good shot. Staci was keeping calm and telling herself to remain calm and I was going over where to hold on the bull and to breathe and squeeze. The bull stepped out and Aaron and Brittany both said ok there he is! Staci took her deep breathe and BOOM! I look up and the bull is still standing there not moving, you missed??? As she reloads the bulls falls straight back and never flinched a muscle! She made a perfect heart shot on this bull at 340 yards! With all our friends and family there the pack out which could have been a horrible one was not bad at all!!! BY noon we were home eating wings and watching football!<br />
enjoy<br />

His reply was no you'd be out of your mind to do that. Well I am, I put in for it with 25 tags and drew it being the 9th tag. I was excited! I thought if we can get some snow and some hunting pressure from other hunts I'm going to chase these bulls in the canyons where they winter. I drew the tag in a unit we shed hunt every year, we know where these bulls like to winter and though it would be hard I wanted to test my self. Plus I would rather hunt then sit back and watch others hunt, I would rather have twenty bulls under my belt then 1 big one. Well as all well laid plans go, all my scouting time was quickly stopped with the news a good friend had drew the strip hunt. So as it would happen I would come home from the strip and head right into my hunt. Feeling confident this wasn't a big deal, as long as we had some weather. The first day on the strip we had snow and I was hoping it was falling all over Arizona pushing them bulls low. Well a dusting came and my good friend Artie was out there and the bulls were on the move to the low country! He saw 10 bulls with one good one we would definitely hunt.<br />
<br />
Fast forward a couple days and I'm home from the strip and ready to go hunting. The day before the hunt we glass 9 bulls and three of which Artie and found a week prior, and the shooter is still there. Warm weather had been the norm for the last two weeks in this country and the bulls were scarce. Everything we were seeing was up high in the canyons but not low where I was hoping to spot n stalk them. It was starting to sink in this was going to be tougher then expected. Opening day turned up with the shooter and the two other bulls, gone. Where they went we have no idea but they had been held up in this remote spot for two weeks and then they disappeared. Wasting no time in the evenings we all scattered out in search of a big bull un broken any where we could find them. The full moon had hit and the temps were in the 60's, not even close to were I had wanted them to be. Over the next three days we looked and looked covering a lot of miles. We knew where there were bulls but all that was there were 5 points and smaller but there were about 20 bulls, so I knew we had bulls to chase I just elected to search till I had enough and wanted to HUNT. At the end of day three and no sign of any good bulls I told everyone that I was ready to hunt and bring home some meat. I felt confident enough in saying if we could bed some bulls in the manzanita thicket covered hill that I could slip in there and get a shot.<br />
<br />
The morning of day 4 we glassed the canyon bottoms with no luck again. Before the sun came up I swung the glass to the north and boom, theres a big bull in the thicket! He was an unbroke 6x6 with long beams and big thirds, game on. We sat and bedded him with two other 5x5s in the nasty thick country across from us. The plan was to go to camp and meet with good friend Todd Shavers and I would change my clothes and shoes in a way that would make easing through the brush somewhat easier. I changed my pack out and grabbed my thick socks and at 1pm we headed out so I could start the stalk. The wind was blowing right to them so I would have to climb high and get on the other side of a huge canyon edge and rim around behind them then start picking my way through slowly and see them before they get me, or hear me. The brush was tall, like 8 feet tall in most spots but where they had bedded the brush was 5 foot tall but still thick. I kept thinking what am I doing with this bow in my hand in this brush?? You need a rifle dumby! 2 hours later with my dad, Brittany, And Todd on point about 3/4 of a mile away I was nearing a point we had decided I would try and get to when I hear in my ear bud, "you made it!" I had told my dad watch for me I will pull my shirt up so you can see the white in the brush and when I did I found myself in position with good wind and 150 from the trees the bulls had last been seen and assumed to be bedded under.<br />
<br />
Taking some deep breathes I smiled knowing that the what seemed hard was easy and now the hard part was really starting. After getting my clothes and taking my shoes off I got ready to start slipping into their beds. My plan was to cut the distance down in half then sit and wait for them to get up and feed then I would try to get closer. With plenty of time before sundown I start to slip in when my dad tells me that the big bull was up and feeding under a lone ponderosa pine. Im 90 yards from the tree, so I keep on going with the sun in my eyes I continue to pick my way through the oak brush and manzanita. With every step I stop and listen for them, and finally I can hear him and I'm 80 yards from the tree. Three other bulls get up and feed off like it was meant to be with this big bull. Once they were out of the picture I got aggressive thinking he won't notice my sounds if I make any cause of the other bulls.<br />
<br />
With the bull in front of me making sounds I slipped into 40 yards from him and run out of spots to step! I tell my dad i'm 40 yards from him and he reassured me that I had made it to just sit there and give it some time, let him make the next move. With that the bull bedded at 40 yards on the other side of the brush and all I can see is his horns shining in the sun. Having a big smile on my face I told my self okay, you made it in here don't screw it up and be patient for a good shot. 15 minutes goes by and to my left I hear some noise and all i can see is a small bull feeding his way towards the big bull. Well I'm not one to turn down opportunities and I saw one beginning too unfold in front of me. I thought to my self, killing a bull in here would be a huge deal to me and those looking down on me. Plus I love to hunt and my favorite part is the pursuit of an animal in his territory. So with that I backed off the big bull and was now headed towards the sounds of the small bull.<br />
<br />
At 50 yards he walks through an opening but I was not about to take a marginal shot in this thick brush, If I shoot Im going to make it count and get close. As soon as he clears the opening I'm off right to him, and with that I fell in right behind him at 45 yards. He walked a little bit further then disappeared off to the right behind a juniper, so I stopped. I sat and listened and in my ear I keep hearing my dad telling me what the big bull was doing, I tried telling him that plans had changed but he could never make it out cause I was too close to let this bull hear me now. With the sun fixing to set, I told my self you better make it happen now or time will get you, so I was off and sneaking. As I cleared some brush there was some horns 35 yards from me but all I could see was the top. I stopped and got ready to shoot and started guessing the range, 45,35,40?? Right then the bull stands and I tell myself 40 and settle my forty pin on him as he turns and looks my way with a slight quatering away shot. I released and watch as my arrow flew perfect for where I wanted it to land. The bull jumped and ran off, I get on the radio and tell them I shot a 5 point get on him. Still watching the big bull everyone had to shift their attention and they quickly found the bull I had just shot. They watched as he walked off 250 yards with the big bull, then he went into some trees and never came out. The other bull walked off, now the tough question we all go through, " do I give him more time or do I start trailing?" This country you could easily push a bull to a point of never finding him, so we elected to leave him for the night and be there as the sun comes up so if he is alive we can get it done.<br />
<br />
Day five we set out after a sleepless night and staring at pictures of bulls talking bout the shot. Me, Brittany, and Todd took off in the dark with my dad on point. As shooting hours came we found ourselves getting close to where they had last seen him. Brittany stood as a marker in one spot and me and Todd made little circles in the thick brush to make sure we didn't miss anything. My dad says you need to come lower, so we drop down and as soon as I get lower I smell bull!! I Yell at Todd and Brittany he's down some where right here! 20 yards from me we find my bull laying and the big sense of relief and the feeling of accomplishment over whelmed me. We had done it, stuck to it and got a bull down on the hardest hunt I have ever personally been on. We snapped some quick pictures and got the bull dressed and started the pack out. We had .55 miles to go, and at 1130 am we were in camp with my bull and the sheds we found on the way and I had a huge smile knowing I had filled my late archery bull tag!!<br />

I shot the Ulmer edge broad head and it worked flawlessly! My arrow hit slightly back and angled through the whole chest cavity and came out right behind the front shoulder on the opposite side. My bull made it 264 yards from where i shot him and the blood trail was awesome. </div>

Thanks again to my Dad, Brittany and Todd for hanging in there with me on a hunt most would not consider or give up on. Thanks also to my mom for staying in camp and cooking for us. She also watched our daughter Lacey while we would hunt, it was the best camp having your family and friends there for the whole hunt, thanks again mom! Thanks for everyone else who helped along the way also! </div>

My bull may not be big but its my 5th Arizona bull, and while others were sitting at home waiting for their next tag we were out elk hunting doing what we love, and next year I bet we will have another tag but I know it won't be late archery!!! thanks everyone</div>
