Southern Utah Archery Deer Hunt

Craig Blackburn and I recently returned from a week long hunt in Craig's old stomping grounds in Southern Utah.  Its always a good time chasing mule deer around with a bow, and enjoying the local fair, parade, and rodeo.  But the icing on the cake is Craig's moms cooking and hospitality.

Here are just a few pictures from our trip.  Video coming soon.  Enjoy.

Can you see the arrow?

 

How about in this photo?  Arrow?



 

I almost forgot.  Craig and his brother-in-law, Tyler, won the "Wild Cow Milking" contest at the rodeo the night before our hunt started.  My brother-in-law, Andrew, also came along to film our hunts.

Pre-season Scouting

Check out some Pre-season scouting video for elk/antelope from this summer's trips to the woods. With some great summer rains, this fall is really shaping up to be a good one. Come on September.......

Lake Powell Stripers

I KNOW IT'S NOT HUNTING....... BUT WHEN THE FISHING IS THIS GOOD IT'S HARD NOT TO SHARE!!

For my 16th anniversary my wife and I spent last weekend at Lake Powell getting our fish on.  I normally don't waste my free time fishing, but all reports were "snooze ya lose".  So my brothers and sisters-in-law had to check it out for ourselves.  My nephew also joined us since it was his birthday.

 FISH ON!

 

 Happy 13th Birthday Chancho!!

 



 Our neighbor, Frank Greer also joined us and had a great time

Happy Anniversary Babe!

 

This wasn't a fishing trip, this was a "catching" trip.  Both days we caught over 100 fish and ended up filleting 50-60 stripers a day.  We had a blast!  If you have been thinking of going......... just go!  You wont regret it.

 



3C Junior Turkey Season........Last Two Days

 

Watch as Jarom experiences the highs and lows of turkey hunting during the last two days of the Jr. season.  It was a tough season and very few birds.  But we managed to go 3 for 3 in 6 days of hunting.  Enjoy.
