Youth Javelina Success!




We just got back from a great youth javelina hunt in unit 23, AZ. The desert is so much fun to hunt at this time of year. A special thanks to Jason Jones and family for helping find a "piggy" area. Monica took her pig with one shot at 104 yards. Great job baby!

Muzzy Success!


It sure has been a long day. Up at the crack of dawn. Headed up to the burn. Glassed up this buck. Made a stalk. Made a good shot. Tracked and found the buck. Packed the buck back to the truck. Broke camp. Headed home (3 hour drive). Stopped in Springerville to drop my meat off at the processor (Rusty's Meat Shop). Headed home to pick up the kids and get them ready for school tomorrow (Wife's out of town). Just sat down to update the blog. What a day!
Self-Guided hunting is what I do. I had 3 days to hunt in a marginal unit in another state. Sometimes I go home with meat, but not always. This time I was blessed with an incredible opportunity based on the research and preplanning that was made. The goal of www.huntscout.com is to provide resources for the self-guided hunter to increase their odds for success. Please visit our website to help you on your next self-guided hunt.

Triple Crown Completion!


Finally got my Triple Crown! More picts and story to follow....

220 Yards


I think it was a good shot!!! He was with a smaller buck and they both ran around the next ridge. My buck looked like he was going down soon. Got blood at the shot site.....

Buck Spotted


Buck spotted on the next ridge over... He is at 345 yards... I need to get a little closer...

Last Day... Time To Head Out!

3 Bucks Spotted in the Burn

I made it back over to the burn for the last 15 minutes of light. Spotted 3 bucks with 2 of them bigger than anything I have seen. One was a small 3 point and the other a small 4 point. Definitely not trophy bucks but bigger than anything I have seen. Will try to find them in the morning. Time for some dinner and a little shut eye.
