Great pics right there. Sounds like quite the time! I'd imagine some hard work took place afterwards.

Weather was great, people were great, scenery was great and such a fun hunt.
He drew a rifle tag in the youth draw and we hunted with Ryan and Damon from A3 New Mexico. Great guys and I recommend them highly if anybody needs a guide in NM or AZ. I usually hunt without a guide for myself but put the kids in the Guide draw to help them have better draw odds and to help to have a better hunt experience. I like to embrace the "struggle" and figure things out on my own but for them, I like to give them the best chance of success so that they will continue to want to do it in the future.
