| Wow, the 2007 season started with a BANG!! Hunters bagged over 100 animals in the first two weeks of October. We’ve had a lot of fun, and a lot of hunters–from the Mammolito group in New York, to Joe Gonzalez, a returning client from California, and from the Grimmers in Washington, to 5th year client Lou Sanandreas in Florida–we’ve had hunters from every part of America! We’ve had several husband/wife teams, and several father/son combos.Overall the antelope hunting was unbelievable. I think there were more antelope running around after the season ended than before it began. The size of the bucks was also big. We had several over 15″, with the biggest narrowly missing the 16″ mark.Once again we harvested some great mule deer bucks. This years hunt was the largest yet, but since we don’t want to hurt our hunting in the future, we are going to cut back slightly on the number of mule deer hunters for 2008 which should increase the average age of the bucks.Our whitetail hunting went well, I’ve got a couple more pictures to get on the website, but hunters so a lot of bucks–especially in the 110-120 with several nice 130-140 class bucks that escaped to grow another year.Our elk hunting is better than ever, the bulls are big and plentiful, but we need hunters to apply for the licenses. Hunters that have one or two preference points–you guys are getting closer, please contact us so we can be sure and get you in–the deadline is coming up in January. Hunters that have been thinking about applying, now is the time. You have a small chance of drawing the first year, but you just as well start accumulating preference points so that three or four years from now, you can be chasing one of these big guys–trust me, its worth the effort!We shot more coyotes the first two weeks of October than ever before. We need to trim on coyote numbers before they start effecting our deer numbers. If you are interested in putting a coyote pelt on your wall, please email us about the most challenging, economical hunt we offer!A couple of in house thank yous–Thanks to- -Danny for taking charge of the photos–a picture is worth a thousand words. -Thanks Dee and Rutha–our cooks–you two make the experience special. -Joel Bailey–for keeping your cool, and making it all happen. -The rest of the staff and guides–each one of you adds character and flavor to the R7R, I’m proud to have all of you on the team. -Brad |
