Let the hunting begin, 2010

Scott got this nice 8-point buck and then dropped a wild hog as he was walking out of the woods!

Back from Colorado

Scott made it back from Colorado! Unfortunately he didn't come back with an elk in the back of the truck....but he still had an excellent time! He got to see a LOT of animals. Throughout the week he passed up 1 cow (girl elk) , 1 small bull (boy elk) , and several Mule Deer Bucks (in FULL velvet) waiting on Mr. Big....but Mr. Big never got close enough.




He DID, however, get close to another kind of Mr. (or should I say Mrs.) Big....Mrs. Big BEAR!!! He had a bear and her cub walk up within 10 yards of him. And not only that...but she raised up on her back legs and starred at him face to face! Scott said he stood there (with is arrow knocked, and tension on the string) for what seemed like forever trying to decide what he was going to do. Finally, he stepped towards her and growled...and by the Grace of God she turned and walked away!


One day they were scouting and found a pretty nice shed!

And on the last day, he saw a Mule Deer buck that he had passed up the day before. But since this was the last day to hunt, he decided that if he could get within bow range, he would take it. All the time he was thinking he was never going to be able to get that close. He STALKED this Mule Deer and got within 20-25 yards of the thing while it was laying down! When the deer stood up it was behind a tree. Scott stepped up on a log to get a better shot. While balancing himself on this log, holding his bow back , waiting on a good shot, the thing finally stepped out! He felt pretty good about his shot, and gave the buck some time before he went looking for it. When they came back a few hours later they found the blood trail...but before they could track him down, a HUGE rain/hail storm came! They never found him - what a disappointment!

Starting the '09 Hunting Season off with a BANG!

Scott left yesterday morning around 10:30 headed for COLORADO on a TEN DAY bow hunting Elk Trip! He and a friend are driving and meeting another couple of friends there. Its a 24-hour drive - they made it to there "half-way" point about 11 o'clock last night - Lubbock, TX. That must have made for a loooong day of driving....


They'll be on the road ALL DAY today too! They left Lubbock about 8:30 this morning - so that should put them arriving at their cabin (near Beaver Mountain, CO) around 7:30ish tonight.

He is SO EXCITED!! This is opening weekend of Elk Season (for bows) there, so hopefully they'll all get a chance to shoot!

He texted me around 1:30 and said they are starting to see Prong Horns (Antelope)! How cool!! I know its beautiful...he better be taking lots of pictures!!!

I'll keep you posted on the Colorado Huntin' action....

Matthew's Drenaline does it again!

Well, Scott got the first kill of the 2008-2009 season. A doe on Friday evening! He waited until Saturday morning to go find her. Doc was RARING to go!! I wish I had some video of him when we loaded him in the back of the truck! He knew what we were going to do and he was beside himself - he just howls and "hollers" the entire ride to the woods...running from side to side in the back of the truck....listening to him, if I didn't know better I would think he was in pain...its hilarious!! He's somethin' else! :)


When we got to the woods, Doc could hardly contain his excitement!! Scott showed him some blood and then he was on his way....


Less than two minutes later....

Here is the happy hunter...and for you other hunters out there....notice that HUGE hole??? That's the RAGE broadhead...amazing! "Its all the rage!"
