Here in Arizona, all of us hunters look forward to the end of July/early August.  Why?  This is when we find out if we have drawn the deer tags that we are hoping for through Arizona’s lottery system.  Myself and my family had not been drawn since 2013, so the anticipation of the results was […]

After the emotional roller coaster that the August bear season gave me, I honestly didn’t know if I was going to hunt bears again during the 2015 season.  To lose an animal of that caliber, after all of the hard work that I have put in over the past 3 years, was a crushing experience. […]

In 2013 something happened to me that changed my life.  The kind of thing that no matter how hard you try, you can’t stop thinking about.  I went on my first bear hunt here in Arizona.  Going into the hunt, I read everything that I could about bears in Arizona.  Where they like to reside, […]

If it wasn’t for my dad getting me into the outdoors all of those years ago, who knows if it would have caught me like it did.  Some people are just naturally drawn to hunting and fishing for one reason or the other, but it is my understanding that most of us were introduced by […]

Besides being born in Albuquerque, NM and living there for about a year, I spent the first 8 years of my life living in Queens, NY.  Back then I couldn’t even tell you what a mountain looked like, let alone tell you what the biggest buck I had ever seen was.  Even though we lived […]

As I write this, January 2015 is coming to a close along with the AZ archery deer season.  It has been a LONG season that started back in August for me here.  August filled my mind with hopes and desires for bear and deer.  The only thing August didn’t fill was my tags.  That season […]

After a week at work, I was more than ready to get back out there and try again with these javelina.  In that week, I got a brand new QAD drop away rest put on my bow and spent a good amount of time at the range making sure everything was “dialed in” for my […]

It was last January, while out hunting coues deer with a buddy, when I made the decision to chase javelina with my bow the following January.  My friend was nice enough to offer up some help and show me the country he was so familiar with to try and get me a javelina.  I had […]

My 2014 early archery deer/bear hunt started back in March.  This is when I went out to place a trail camera in a very promising spot that I had found the previous season in hopes of seeing what was moving through the area.  The spot did not disappoint, as I was greeted with thousands of […]

 Almost one year ago I had an experience like no other.  It was something that to this day, I question if it even happened.  Was it a dream?  I can assure you it wasn’t.  Will I ever see something like this again?  The answer to that would be, “doubtful.”  In a few days, I will […]
