I figured we better get a pic of Alans great ram up on the blog.  We are behind on the blog with a lot of great hunts that need to be posted.  He took this great ram with one well placed shot.  More to come on this including some amazing video of this ram and many others.  Congrats Alan, and thanks for all you do for conservation.  He has had quite the year in AZ harvesting 3 world class animals!

MOM TAGS HER FIRST BUCK!!

MOM'S FIRST BUCK

Martha Gonzales with her 2011 Az muley. This is her first buck!

Mom, Martha, was fortunate to draw a muley tag this year in a unit that we have always hunted with family. In anticipation of filling her first deer tag, she put in the time and effort in practicing shooting the 7 mm STW off "The Claw". Fortunately, Mossback AZ Guide Joe had located several nice bucks during pre-season scouting trips. Opening moring found mom, dad, and grandson Angel stalking this bachelor herd of bucks. Unfortunately, the bucks fed into the thick junipers before she was able to get a shot off. The group backed off and spent the majority of the day several hundred yars away, in hopes the bucks would feed back out in the evening. As the afternoon shadows lengthened, mom made her way back into position and the bucks did their part by standing up to feed for the evening. Although a bit nervous, mom was able to drop this nice buck right in his tracks with a heart shot at just over 100 yards. To make things even better, we had a bunch of family there to celebrate and enjoy the rest of the weekend with. Good shooting and congrats to Mom on her first buck!
