August 15 Muleys!

With Archery deer season just around the corner, I thought I would share some footage of a little 4 point muley I found while scouting for elk this morning.

Diaper Sniper, "Elk"

I had the opportunity to hunt elk with Skyler Koury, AKA "The Diaper Sniper" and his dad Shane Koury, owner of Koury Guide Service, this last weekend on a limited opportunity elk hunt. After locating a couple of shooters during several scouting trips, the elk had lady luck on their side for the first few days. On Monday, we continued to look for the needle in a haystack. With so few elk, especially "shooters", the hunt seemed to be turning into mission impossible! Late in the morning we cut some fresh tracks and began the three and a half hour tracking job. While the soft sand provided a good trail, the dense cover offered very few shot opportunities. Finally, after a few close calls, Skyler was able to touch off a round and put down his bull with just one well placed shot. The bull didn't know what hit him and never got out of his bed! Congrats on a great bull Skyler!

Pretty Boy

Footage of a good looking bull we filmed in velvet.

Aug. 3, 2011 Scouting

I got up at 3:00 this morning so I would have enough time to hike in to one of my favorite elk spots. My plan was to be in position with the camera set up before the elk started feeding in my direction. Everything went perfectly until I went to turn on my camera. My battery was dead! I was extremely disappointed, as the elk fed to within 40 yards of me! The footage could have been awesome. I did manage to take some pics and video holding my cellphone up to my binos though.

High Country Bugler

Sit back and enjoy some bugling action from the high country last season. Only a month to go until the best month of the year!

Fellow Hunter

I was out glassing for elk tonight with my friend Derick. We found some decent bulls, but no "shooters". We did however, glass up this mtn lion! Here are a few crude pics I took through the spotting scope with my cell phone at about 350 yards!

Steve's Trophy Elk Hunt!

I have been hitting the hills a lot the last couple of weeks trying to locate and film some nice velvet bulls, so I figured I would change up this weeks post with an awesome AZ trophy elk hunt! This footage was sent to me from my friend, Jeff Lester of Hunt Hard Outfitters! Great stuff Jeff!

July 21 Elk Scouting

Had a great afternoon in the woods today! I saw several bulls and was able to get some decent video of some of them. Looks like most the growing is done for the year. I can hardly wait for the crisp September mornings!

Lil' Kicker

Found this bull yesterday morning while glassing for a bigger bull that my friend Jeremiah had spotted in the area a few days earlier. The growth is looking good this year. It is fun to see young bulls like this with some cool character.

Band of Brothers

After glassing this bachelor herd up from a long ways off, we decided to get a little closer and try to get some footage. The plan came together perfectly and the herd stayed pretty tight together.
