Bryan Otts Unit 9 Arizona Elk Hunt with Colburn and Scott Outfitters

I had the pleasure of helping Darr with his archery client in Unit 9 this year.  He was hunting with Bryan Otts of Mesa, Arizona on the archery hunt.  Darr and Bryan, along with Cabelas Out West producer and cameraman Drew Yarkosky, hit the hills running looking for Bryan's first archery bull.  After scouting 11 days prior to the hunt we still were in search for a great bull.  I mainly focused on glassing while the guys tried to run one down on the ground.  It was evident early on that antler growth was weaker than normal but we still worked hard to find some good bulls.  We had some close calls during the hunt on several nice bulls and we all had a great time elk hunting.  As you will see from the photos the unit was extremely wet and very green throughout.  Congrats to Bryan on his first elk with a bow that he harvested late in the hunt. Bryan and his girlfriend Dawn had a sincere love for the outdoors.  Click on the video link below to see both episodes of Bryan's hunt on Cabelas Out West. Scroll down to the hunts on 9.18 and 9.25.

I really like the new Outdoorsmans Butt Pad

2013 Fall Season-Cabelas Out West

Well it is the time of year that all sportsman look forward to.  Some hunts across the West have been kicking off already and pics are circulating with lots of fine trophies.  Arizona has already seen some phenomenal deer harvested on the Strip and I am sure some great sheep and elk pics are soon to follow.  We are busy getting ready for elk, deer and sheep hunts this fall and the excitement level is high and optimistic.  We are proud to be involved with Cabelas again this year on the Cabelas Out West video series.  2013 should bring lots of smiles and laughs along with some blood, sweat and tears.  Tomorrow is the first of the Cabelas Out West videos to air and should feature the giant AZ Raffle deer hunt in which a 230+ buck gets harvested.  We want to encourage you guys to hunt hard and don't forget to thank the Lord above for all of the great opportunities to enjoy in his creation.  We are going to try and keep you posted on our upcoming hunts!  Good Huntin' to you.
