Bulls are looking great!

We think the bulls are going to have great horn growth this year in the central/western part of the state.  Their bodies look great and they are not working very hard for the feed.  The eastern side of the state has not received the timely showers and it is evident in the browse and feed, however there will still be some great bulls taken. Here are a couple pics of some nice bulls. By June 1st, any bull that is going to be in that 380+ range is typically a defined 6 pt or better from our experience.

This first bull was on the 17th of May.  

This bull was on the 19th of May.

Mossback AZ Coues Deer Video

Well, I finally got around to going through some of our video, and although its not all the good stuff, its enough to get just about any coues deer nut excited. We love coues deer hunting, and you can see in this clip we get a little excited out there! This little clip has plenty of coues over 110", with several others ranging from 120 and all the way up to the 140" class! If you are looking to go a coues deer hunt in AZ, give us a call or email, there are some awesome bucks to be had! Several of these hunts can be drawn with very few points. Thanks for watching. Enjoy.

AZ Archery Bulls-2nd Times a Charm

Here are some pics of Evan Fretz and Kyle Curtis with their monster AZ archery bulls that they took with Mossback Arizona.  The funny story on both of these giants is that they were both shot at more than once.  Kyle actually busted the G5 on his bull as it cocked its head back to bugle.  The 2nd shot was perfect and Kyle had his hands on a giant first bull.  Congrats Kyle.  An interesting point is that Kyles bull moved 21 miles for the rut.

Check out the left G5, this is the tine that Kyle hit on his first shot.

Evan Fretz had a similar situation with his giant archery bull.  Evan was bound and determined to get a giant.  After passing on several awesome bulls he found one that got him excited.  This bull narrowly escaped us one morning, and in the evening we put a plan together and it worked out like a dream.  Evan shot at this bull and hit just under him the first shot.  About an hour and a half later, Evan was able to seal the deal with this bull we dubbed "Concreter".  Not sure why that was the nickname but he was a bull that was on the hit list. Evan was a pleasure to hunt with and I can't wait to do it again.  Congrats Evan!

Here is Evans bull on the 10th of June.

Here he is again a few days later.

Here he is all done growing.  

Congrats Evan on a monster bull!

Here are 3 of the 4 archery bulls taken that year, with the one missing scoring 387" .  I will do another post on those great bulls later.

Spring Scouting & Albino Elk

For those who have drawn elk tags in AZ, this year is looking to be a great year for antler growth.  Many of the "older" bulls are showing up in their old haunts, and look to be in great shape.  Here are some pictures of a few bulls that were taken recently.  We are familiar with these bulls and know what kind of bulls they are going to be.  Hopefully we will have some pictures with them this fall. One of our guides also ran across an albino cow elk while out scouting, and got some great pictures.

Heavy

Look at the bases and front end of this huge bull.  How big will this bull be?

Here is another bull on the 15th.

Here is the same bull on the 28th.  He is growing like a weed.  Any guesses on what this bull will turn into?

Check out this albino cow elk.

Mogollon Taxidermy

Clay Goldman with Mogollon Taxidermy wrapped up my dall ram that I was fortunate to take last August in Alaska. He did great work as always. Check out his blog.  Thanks Clay for the quick turn around and beautiful mount.
