Here's my New Mexico archery bull. While we didn't get close to the really big guys, we had a fun hunt going 2 for 3 with bows. Not a lot of callin' n chasin' going on quite yet.....hated to miss David's memorial Fall Color Tour but I was sure thinking about it.

Kyle - What part of NM did you drop him? Glad to see the archery hunt was good for a change. It had been pretty rough for several years.

Wiley, we were in the Gila in the Western part of the state.
Last year we hunted further south. Fewer animals (we went 1 for 4) but the one we did kill went 343!

It's my father-in-law's rifle. He had one forever untill it got stolen, with a lot of other things, about 5 years ago. He liked it so much that it was the first gun he replaced, and it shoots a really nice group. I think it's kinda heavy but you can reload and shoot fast.

Another Beautiful Day in the Grouse Woods
The leaves are past peak, falling big time and helping me with shot placement. Jack and I are really hiking the miles back in the bush. It's hard to justify fall fishing or even bowhunting when the grouse cycle is high and a dog is looking you in the eye.

Yet another fabulous day
Fins and Feathers Again
Another great day before the snow flys. I'd rather have moose and Dall sheep in my photos but this is what I have in my backyard.

Scout,
can I come down with Kat?????
Been a bad BAD year here. Got hurt first day of moose hunting, then the pup got her paw smashed, flew her 3 hours to the vet, (did not see a doc for me though) and sent her home in a cast
Hunted three weeks for moose, non in my freezer yet
So yesturday afternoon I took Kat out for a walk on the wetlands. Saw a big flock of birds out about 100 yards, so tried tolling them in...
Holly Duck Toller Batman! It worked. Flushed them at 10 yards, shot the first tripple in years, and Kat retrieved all three (she is now just over one year old).
A week ago we tolled in some teal and my friends 9 year old son shot his first duck.
So I am hunting, just not as productively.
Glad to see so much success.

Some great shots of the dog and grouse. Those ruff grouse are the best eating in my book. I sure miss eating some good walleye. They are one of the best eating fish. Looking forward to seeing some more big deer being taken by the lower 48 folks. Seasons are just starting. I like that elk too. I would really like to hunt elk and turkey down there. RedBaron send me an email with the pic and I will get it posted up for you. supercub@hotmail.com

One of the 4 moose we harvested this year, this one had the most points but was the smallest spread at 62" (or 64", I can't remember). Happy hunters so a pretty good season.

The rest of the antlers evidently flew a lot better than these did. 8)
And thanks Torch and DC, finally got it.
