Josh White's 130 AZ Coues Deer

Here is Josh White's incredible story of the hunt, "
I glassed them up by myself at 1 pm on the second day of the hunt. I couldn't get a hold of Daniel and Jeremy as they were about a mile away. I decided to take the 600 yard shot. I missed the first one but hit right through both shoulders on the second shot. As I watched my buck lay on the ground I spotted another deer feeding just ten yards away from my deer. I could tell this was a great buck too. I immediately ran to go find Daniel and my brother Jeremy. We got back to my glassing spot about an hour and 15 minutes after I had shot mine. Another 15 minutes of glassing and I glassed up Daniel's buck feeding about 30 yards from my deer. Daniel lied down with my 26-06 and whacked the deer through both shoulders at about 625 yards. We both couldn't be happier with these bucks. Mine scores right at 130 and Daniel's goes 98 both unofficial."  CONGRATS JOSH THOSE ARE TWO GREAT BUCKS!

Big Colorado Bull

I have received this pic in several emails.  I don't know the hunter or the story.  Caption says, "Shot here in Colorado . Private land (no fence). 459 gross net. "  It is a sweet bull but I have my doubts as too no fence and the score.  Who knows?  Cool bull though.  I think someone is confused or typed a 4 instead of a 3......What is gross net anyways.....

Elk Hunting with Wilderness Athlete

Chad and I used the Wilderness Athlete products throughout the entire elk hunt.  Products we used were the performance bars, energy gels, Hydrate and Recover drink, and the meal replacement recovery shakes.  I suggest you try some on your upcoming hunts.

Adam and his brother Dr. Jason Melde with Adam's first archery elk.  It is a real cool heavy bull.  Congrats to Adam.  Adam was helped by his brothers Jason and Dave as well as his mom and dad.  Great to see the family getting into the whole hunt! Congrats

Casey Brooks Canadian Moose

Here is good friend of  jayscottoutdoors, Casey Brooks, from Washington with his great looking Canadian Moose that he harvested in Newfoundland.  Casey is a member of Hoyt's Bowhunting Pro Staff and hunts exclusively with a Hoyt bow and only has four more animals to go for the prestigous North American 28 with his bow.  Casey has by far the biggest bull elk collection of any one person with a bow.  He has harvested many bulls over 400 and a few over 430 inches.  He has something like 54 elk with a bow and arrow!  Nice job Casey!
Below is one of Casey's bulls that he arrowed this year.

Olivia Porter's AZ Mule Deer

Check out this giant buck that was harvested on the youth hunt!  Olivia Porter killed him this morning with the help of her brother Spencer Porter.  He scores right at 212".  Spencer Porter along with Daniel Franco (Burnt Timber Outfitters) are long time friends of ours here at Jay Scott Outdoors.  Congrats on such a fine trophy!

Elk Heaven

I hope heaven looks and sounds like this place in September!  I am not sure how they did this year on the WMAT but I hope they did well.  I have some good friends that live in the elk mecca and I will try to get a report on how their season was. Here is my guesstimate on the score of the bull that Darr Colburn filmed on the last post.  L-16,15,19,22,16,57,30=175  R-16,16,18,22,17,57,30=176 + 40 spread=391 gross (guesstimate)

Guess the Score on this Giant Bull

Darr Colburn captured this great video this year just before the archery hunt.  What does he score?

Elk Bugling Frenzy with a touch of Estrus Scream Video

 
This audio is pretty good for those of us who like to hear the "magic" cow sound.  You need to listen real close to hear.  One thing that this video does not show is how many bulls came running to this cow.  It took me fifteen minutes to get to the girl to try and capture some of her sounds on video.  I followed these elk for over an hour in the dark.  In the dark she was going crazy and the bulls went crazy.  I hope you enjoy.  By the way, if you mimic her sound next year you will get run over....I promise!  Steve Chappell is the best I have ever heard duplicating this sound.
