This is a goal I set for myself back in 1992 when it was announced Chuck Adams had completed the feat with archery gear. I am currently 20 animals into it. I just recently shot all five North American deer species with my bow in a single season. Each deer averaged around $1000 to hunt via...

Drew, you have stated New Mexico as the best of the lower 48. It is my opinion, you have overlooked Colorado where 10 of the 29 reside. In Colorado, and in addition to Mule Deer, Elk, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Pronghorn, and Desert Bighorn Sheep, a person can hunt White-tailed-deer, Shiras...

Nicely done Stretch! Congratulation of some super trophies. It's in your blood now, you'll be back! Great write-up!

Zenbear, I arrowed a cow buff this past July. I took her with a single arrow weighing 1050 grains tipped with a VPA Penetrator 300 grain two blade head. I used an eighty pound PSE X-Force. My arrow chronoed at 216 fps. A friend shot another cow with his bow set at 77 pounds. He was using a...

Diamond, What an excellent read. Thanks for sharing. I recently posted a comment on Congressman Ed Perlmutter's (D-Seventh Congressional District, Colorado) Facebook page. He's gung-ho to push an anti-gun agenda. I hope nobody minds me sharing. Please advise if you feel I missed something...

Rick, Do not mess with Colorado. Honestly, we haven't the number of animals nor the opportunities like Wyoming. There are several areas in Wyoming with good "walk in" and public acess-finding good goats here is not rocket science. There are places around Medicine Bow, for example, where a...

All went well... We had twenty three hunters in camp, and everyone got into elk ( except me, I was busy doing chores and making sure people were happy). We had six or seven very close encounters...elk within twenty yards or less. Elk are just tough to kill with a bow! We had three missed...

Well done Mudslinger!

Be one with the "Force" Young Mud! Get into a zone...focus on the task at hand. Best wishes my friend!

Congratulations, you did well! Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure Bob. I didn't see any buildings like that on the place where we hunted this trip. We may have come in from a back way though. It was dark while we were driving and arriving. Can do on the outfitters report...

Thanks everyone, The bushbuck was another highlight. He makes up for an encounter I had four years ago. Good friend, Tony Sansalone from Texas, shot this bushbuck (see picture below) with his rifle two days after I had him within six yards. Amazingly, this 15 inch male was bedded on a...

A resounding ten! That's the score I would give to Huntershill Safaris if hosting a bow hunt was an Olympic sport. They performed flawlessly. I was treated like royalty, and I look forward to a potential return trip in 2014. My travel companions and I arrived in Johannesburg on the 18th of...

I agree 100%. A zebra is by far one of the hardest animals to spot and stalk with archery gear. It is still a quest of mine. While I was hunting in the East Cape, Huntershill had a beautiful pedestal mounted zebra in their lodge. I liked it so much that I decided I needed one. Prior to seeing...
