2012 Elk Season Recap Video

A quick recap of the many days I spent in the elk woods this year. It was a great time spent with old and new friends. As worn out as I am, I can't wait until next year! :)

Pete's Crown Royal Bull

Pete travels all the way from Michigan to the White Mountains of Arizona to take his best bull to date. "Break out the Crown Royal!"

 

Raghorn???

I recently came across this footage we shot toward the end of the rut this year. This has got to be the biggest 4x5 I have seen in the elk woods. Would you consider him a raghorn???

Pine Point Bulls

After watching these bulls do the same thing for a couple of days, Fetch and I decide to hike in 1 and a half miles in the dark to ambush them on thier way back into the trees from feeding all night. We came oh so close, but they were just out of range as they entered the pines.

Check out the footage we got of this bull above in velvet during the summer...

Tyler's AZ Rifle Deer

I got to accompany Tyler on his first AZ rifle deer hunt. He had never shot a mule deer. What a way to start Tyler! Gonna be hard to beat this one!

Chad's Archery Bull

After passing several bulls during the morning hunt, Chad elected to shoot this big, long beamed bull. What an awesome day of chasing bulls in the high country! I was glad to be able to capture it all on film!

Ed's Archery Bull

I had the pleasure of hunting with Tom and Ed from West Virginia during the archery elk hunt here in AZ this Fall. I accompanied Jeremiah as he was out with Ed on the last evening of his hunt. We found a lone bull trying to catch up to the herd, but taking his time doing it. With open country and a good wind, I was able to capture Ed's stalk on film as he ended his AZ hunt with an exclamation point!

Dark Night Bull

We finally got to where we could see this bull just before dark while scouting for the upcoming archery elk hunt.

Quick 6x7

We were able to get a little footage of this great 6x7 during our second encounter with him during the archery hunt. He was on the move to a nearby waterhole. We pushed hard to get around in front of him to no avail.

6 Point Passed at 29 Yards

This fine looking bull walked in to 29 yards before catching our wind. Fortunately for him, Tom had decided to hold out for a bigger bull. What a great looking young bull. Hope to see him in a couple years.
