He's a Rocky, not a Desert. I got him in the desert with cacti, rattlesnakes, and 95+ degree heat. I wanted the mount to reflect where he was harvested. The taxidermist was able to match the granite in the area, so the rocks are pretty much the exact color of the landscape where I took him. Greg...
I pulled a Bull Elk ML tag. I logged in at exactly 11:00 and sailed right through. Only 2 tags available were available, no archery. I really wanted the archery mule deer tag in a nearby unit but with there being only 1 and being a sheep hunter, I played my odds. "Drawing is hard part" they say...
I'd start and end my search with Steve Zettel. They were highly recommended to me by guys in the know at Sheep Show years back. I am on their mailing list and they are a well-respected, professional bunch. I haven't hunted with them (yet--I can only dream) but that would be my choice--Idaho...
This custom gunsmith isn't too far from you. I handled one of these at Barney's in Anchorage and was impressed by it. It was a nice gun.

I'd put halibut fish and chips at the top of my dinner list. Humpy's has them. I guarantee you that you will burn off the calories on your hunt:). We stayed over in Anchorage on our way back from Kodiak. The Millennium Hotel has a restaurant overlooking Lake Hood and they had great fish and...
Following this one. I had an elk tumble when the ex-girlfriend was cleaning. He's pretty broken from the eye sockets down, unfortunately. However, I shot a bull worthy of a shoulder mount and had the taxidermist clean and save the skull (minus the antlers, of course) to try and splice them...
I would really be nice to now how many of those with 10+ points are 60+ years in age. My father has a lot of points and will be 71 this year. He doesn't move like he used to. It sucks.
He is one below max in CO for sheep (applied for Desert one year) and I have to talk him into applying now...
Love Sonora. We did a Coues in January and crossed over at Nogales. We had a caravan and never felt any sense of danger. I'd love to go back again this year.
I did a sheep hunt with my dad in 2012 through Hermosillo and then to the coast. I wouldn't travel at night but never felt any sense of...
