2009 CA Spring Turkey Hunt Videos

The 2009 turkey season got kicked off with a bang for sure! I went over to CA and picked up my brother in law,Christian, and two nephews, Jay and Will, and we headed out to do some turkey hunting. They all got birds and we had a ball! The birds were gobbling good and very receptive to calling. We had lots of fun camping and fellowshipping. The action was pretty fast and furious in the two mornings that we hunted and I look forward to my nephews, Jay and Will coming for the Arizona spring season in a few weeks.

Elk Hunt Video Clips

Here are some video clips of my wife Jeanne's archery hunt a few years ago. Darr Colburn is running camera and I am calling and Jeanne is having the hunt of her life. She did not ever shoot an elk but we had some great encounters! She has caught a lot of ribbing from all of my friends for not shooting some of these bulls!

I have made these videos available with lower quality resolution so it will work for everyone's computers. Enjoy!

"I hunted archery Elk in Arizona with Darr Colburn. It was a great experience. He spent a lot of time in the unit before opening day and had numerous bulls located. Darr is very skilled and just always seems to be able to make something happen. My hunting partner and I both killed really good bulls on this trip.
When I draw again I’ll be calling Darr. "
