My first Javelina, Finally! Dad and I hunted in snow and rain. I did a perfect shot and she still ran down the mountains and sent us on a three hour stalking adventure. Then under a tree there she was. It was quite a hunt.

My first Mule Deer. We hunted all weekend, had two close encounters, but other hunters shot them moments before I was able to pull the trigger. After several miles of trecking and right before the rain started we were able to harvest this Mule. He gave us a run for it tracking and didn't make the shot easy either! 420 yards, split moment shot. But I was able to get a shot off and we were able to track him into the desert.

This was an exhilarating hunt. This is also my first buck with my bow. My guide and I hunted for days without seeing the buck I wanted. Then just before dark we are sitting in our blind and hear a handgun shot, dad shot his buck and moments later my buck comes wandering down the hill. Dad and I shot our bucks five minutes apart, and we only had one small rhino for two bucks and four people :)

I had the wrong handloads for an animal with this thick hair - we used hollow point bullets. I had to finish him with a revolver.

We rode the air boat for 6 hours through swamps to find a big "Gator". Hit him right behind the head at 22 yards while he was hidden in deep water. Great excitement!
