Brown Bear Double

We recently finished these two brown bears for brothers Brian R. and Chad R.  They were taken a year apart in coastal Alaska.  Both are very large bears.  I delivered them to Gila Outdoor in Thatcher, AZ where they will be on display.  Gila Outdoor has a large selection of hunting, archery and shooting equipment as well as a big indoor archery range.  Stop by and see their big display of huge mule deer and other trophies if you get down that way.  You can also order online from their website, so next time you need something outdoor or hunting related, check them out.

 

Mexico 2015

Our group went to a new ranch this year in Sonora and harvested some nice deer.  We ended up with deer that measured 113, 112, two 107s, 95 and 90.  It was a lot of fun with a good group of friends.  My dad had a tag and ended up giving it to his grandson due to a knee problem and not being able to get around.  I attached a photo of Dad and Gage with his last day buck. 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are a couple of nice bucks.  The buck with the habitat was taken by Brady M.  while hunting With Colburn and Scott Outfitters in Sonora, MX.  He was taken with archery equipment and his gross score is 118 2/8 with a net of 110 1/8. Brady's buck has been invited to the Pope and Young Panel and Convention that will be held in Phoenix this year.  The other buck was taken by Jason H., founder of Kuiu.  He also hunted with Jay Scott and Darr Colburn in Sonora Mexico. 

Some Nontypical Coues Bucks

Here are a few nontypical Coues bucks I finished up recently.  The top two bucks were taken in southern Arizona on the late December hunt and the two lower bucks were taken in Sonora, Mexico.

More Desert Sheep

Here are some more sheep we did this year for some lucky hunters.  The wall pedestal ram is Dave Martin's 182+ ram from unit 22 and the wide horned shoulder mount is Dennis Loescher's 180+ ram from 24B.  The laying ram with his head to the left is Carl L.'s giant 185 24B ram.  Good luck to this years hunters, only a little over a week away!

 

Sheep

Here are some photos of a few sheep we recently finished.  We complete all desert sheep mounts in time for the ADBSS sheep hunter and ram recognition banquet held each fall for those hunters who wish to attend and display their sheep.

Huge Desert Nelsoni Sheep

Here are a couple of photos of Claude Warren's big ram from last fall.  Claude was lucky enough to be the winner of the super raffle sheep tag which allows him to hunt most of the units along the Colorado River.  Claude hunted with Jay Scott and Darr Colburn of Colburn and Scott Outfitters
Claude's ram grosses 185 3/8 inches and nets 181 1/8, making it the top Nelsoni ever taken in Arizona if I am not mistaken.  Thanks to Claude for letting me do this awesome sheep.

 

 

 

 

Broc's Giant Velvet Coues

Beams, beams and more beams.  Here are some photos of the the big velvet buck Broc B. took last year with the auction Coues tag.  He has double main beams on the right and quadruple main beams on the left. 

Safari mounts

Here are a few mounts we finished recently for Michael B. and Charles W.   They both went to Africa together and had a great trip, taking many of the animals with their bows.
