January Trophy Elk Hunt

This past week Ray-Ray and I guided new 5 Star client Ed P. on a trophy Elk and Oryx hunt. It was very interesting being able to sit and talk to a man that lives in Russia! Ed's a great guy.

We slipped around the 2,000 acre pasture and caught this magnificent bull laying under an oak tree trying to get out of the unseasonably warm January day. Ed made a great shot on the bull laying in his bed.

After all the high fives and celebratory yells, we turned our sights towards a trophy Oryx. The only bad thing was the Oryx were mixed up with a large herd of Zebras, and for all of you that have hunted Zebra you know that they don't stand around long! Needless to say when they ran everything else began to run. After several shot setups the trophy bull Oryx finally gave us a shot. Thanks again Ed for a great hunt! See you again in February!

We're off to Reno, Nevada to check out the worlds largest hunting show, the Safari Club International Convention! We have some of our ranchers, clients and top guides going with us!

Trophy Blackbuck Hunt!


This past few days Ray Ray and I have been hunting trophy blackbucks with repeat client Matt Tupen. On the first day of Matt's hunt he harvested a 19 1/2" blackbuck that was extremely heavy. The second day Matt and I made an incredible stalk on a 23" blackbuck. We maneuvered our way through several small herds of oryx and axis to get within 200 yards. Tupen set up and smoked him just before they decided to bolt. Thanks again Tupen for another awesome hunt!!! This Monday we're heading out to hunt 350+ class Trophy Elk!
