Pastor Manny's 2010 Nebraska Whitetail Hunt


Manny Parks, pastor of Faith Bible Chapel (http://www.faithbiblechapel.com/), sent me a few pictures of his latest Nebraska deer hunt. Once again, Manny was successful and harvested a very respectable buck. Although Manny looks very happy in these pictures, I can assure you that his greatest pleasure rests with the camaraderie he developed with his family and new hunting partner, Travis Brenner. Travis tagged a double in the first 20 minutes of the hunt and developed some memories that he will not soon forget. It is awesome to have a pastor who loves to hunt!  Thanks for sharing.

2010 Fall Hunting Pictures

Duane Hempsted harvested this nice ram on his recent Navajo Lands hunt.  The ram scored just over 150". Congratulations Duane

12 A West buck 2010
John Tkalcevic harvested this nice buck on the late 12A East hunt. John, a retired P.E teacher and wrestling/football coach from Page HS, was recently selected to the AZ Coaching Hall of Fame. It looks like John's grandson, Anthony, had a good time on the hunt. 



 Jen Keisling, killed this nice 180 class buck on the 12B late hunt this year. Jen is pretty good at drawing late dear tags and has taken several nice animals in Northern AZ. Although Jen is a good shot, she benefits from having a close relationship with one of the finest guides in our region.  Thanks for sharing the pictures

Damion Thomas harvested this respectable bull on the late season archery hunt in Northern AZ. This was Damion's first archery hunt and he hunted very hard to take this bull with his bow.

Charles Berry's 2010 Unit 70 Buck



My brother drew a unit 70 mule deer tag and harvested this respectable four-point. According to Charles, the deer were plentiful and he passed on several bucks before harvesting this one. My dad accompanied Charles on the hunt and it sounds like they had a good time.

Kiabab Mule Deer Hunt (early)


Aaron Anderson sent me a few pictures of his brother and nephew from the 12A East early rifle hunt.  Although the Kiabab produces many great bucks, the 'Indian Summer' weather made the hunting extremely difficult, with only a few mature bucks taken on the east side.  Congratulations guys!

AZ Strip Bucks

oink, oink....I don't know much about these bucks other than they were taken on the strip in 2010.

Cole Hyson...2010 Mule Deer

Cole Hyson took this buck near his home in Durango, CO.  According to Cole, the buck's left back hoof and right ear were damaged. Perhaps the deer was caught in a fence or tangled with a mountain lion.  Pretty cool buck regardless.

SW Colorado, 2010


Dan Hererra sent me these pictures this past week.  These mule deer were taken in SW Colorado.

Colorado Elk



I don't know too much about this bull, but I thought I would post it. The caption stated that it was a 450 class bull, but I doubt it.  Maybe a high fence hunt?

Maine Anjou-Angus Herd 2010

 Here are a few pictures of the new cows we purchased from Leonard Neil from Aztec, NM. The little calf comes from a registered Maine Anjou cow (birth date 3/16/2006) by the name of Nel R E Pebbles 205. The bull calf's sire is DCC Pitch Black 110P from the DeRouchey Cattle Co in South Dakota.



Pitch Black 2010 Club Calf

Bruce, Jet, and I traveled to Dolores, CO for the weekend to do a little work and I took a few pictures of our 2010 calves. This Maine Anjou steer comes from the DCC Pitch Black 110P from the DeRouchey Cattle Company. This particular steer has great conformation and temperament and would make a great club steer.

Cole Hyson's 2010 Colorado Bull

One of our good friends from Durango, CO, Cole Hyson, took this bull this past month in SW Colorado. It is great to see hard-working hunters take respectable animals like this on public land. Thanks for sharing Cole!
