What a grand hunt fer' yer' son n' yer'self, Wayne and justly deserved :thumbup: Last time I had a chance fer' a hunt like that, was in a privately owned D.U. managed flooded timbered watershed ;) My ole' farmer client, at the time, surprised me at the last moment before we loaded guns up that after...

I finally got around to grinding elk. She made 43 - 1.5 lb packages of burger, roughly 65 lbs of burger. That's fairly clean burger too with anything nasty removed. The three antelope are next up. IMG_20231017_200717591.jpg WHOOO-weee, 65# of tender elk burger, wit' no TSS shot in it :cheers: ;)

Fantastic mount n' I believe yer' dog needs watchin' over

For the record I went with Rio Sonora outfitters for my Goulds. Brad Fulk (no problems) Went with Yukkutz outfitters for my Occelated (no problems) Only problem I’m having now is gettin my Occelated on the wall from my taxidermist. He reassured me a couple months ago that he’s still alive. 😫 Shoot,...

Dang Spider, after all this time ya' ought to know, "if ya' snooze, ya' loose"

N' I'd say, yer' snoozin' at the right times!!

Congrats on a great double for yer' son

I think the new MX government has pretty much made it impossible for an individual to bring back his own trophies into the U.S. That's what Manuel told me anyway, and why would he lie? Judging from my own near-50 years of experience in dealing with Mexican "authorities", everyone down the...

Back home now and dreading going back to work to catch up on meetings and emails. I'll hopefully do some local hunting over the next couple weeks and then my brother shows up the 27th.  We'll hunt a week for waterfowl, upland, and maybe deer.   Here's wishin' ya' sweet dreams, of great hunting time...

Jim, My 1st hunt in Mexico for Goulds, Lovett Williams had an importer lined up for importing skins, (Lovett had passed on just before the hunt, unfortunately) and it was a nightmare when the fella finally made it to the boarder a couple months later, for import. I had a call from his daughter(lucky...

Persistence pays off and what a place to be persistent at!!
"AND" your dog and yer'self are enjoyin' the great fall colors and weather besides

Great pics n' story and enjoy the rest of your hunt :thumbup: Never shoot yer' pick-up, yer' buddy will do it fer' ya' :banghead: Ha! The truck that I've come the closest to shooting was my buddy's truck. My buddy got mine n' I paid him back n' got his pick-up AND daughter's house to boot :LMAO: Oh...

Pray fer' frost

Thanks for the congrats guys. We'll never forget that craziness but I don't think I want to do it again. Man that was a lot of disassembling and deboning on the tailgate of a truck under the camper lights and a headlamp. :) The boys have headed home with a cooler of meat and horns and I've driven a...

I know parenting can have it's challenges, but a lot of the times, ya 'gotta' 'suck it up" and git er' done!!

I'm not so sure about that, early season Yes, but once they chop that first corn field can be in the opposite direction and they somehow know it. You be sitting in your oats staring at bare skies... We used to joke they could hear the choppers from the roost Only time I've seen them go back to oats...
