Second Day of PCBA Youth Hunt

On the way to the processor, I called Dan Sprinkles who was hunting with Alex, and asked, “Have you seen any antelope?” Sprinkles answered, “Yes, we've seen quite a few, and Alex had a shot at 52 yards.” Alex’s mom was in the blind with him. As she watched in horror, she saw Alex take the crossbow off his shoulder and sit it down in the blind. “Why didn’t you shoot?” Alex’s mom asked as

First Day Success by PCBA Youth

On the first day of the hunt, Dayton from Maryland took a buck antelope with his bow. The buck’s horns were was 12-1/2 inches long and super heavy and had numbers of knobs on the inside of each prong. This was 17-year-old Dayton’s first antelope hunt, and he said, “The hunt was awesome!”

The Antelope Hunt Plan for PCBA

I've been asked, “Why did you take on the challenge of helping set up the hunt to take these young men antelope hunting?” My standard answer is that a friend asked me for help, and it felt like the right thing to do. These young men came from Michigan, Indiana, Maryland and Gillette, Wyoming, where I live. The PCBA took care of these young men’s expenses to travel to Gillette.

Hunt of a Lifetime with the PCBA

Paul Connelly of Gillette Wyoming, a Mossy Oak Pro Staffer, actively works with the PCBA (Physically Challenged Bowhunters of America).A hunt of a lifetime doesn’t always have to involve someone taking an animal. Connelly, his friends and his community have learned that providing a hunt of a hunt of a lifetime is far more rewarding than receiving a hunt of a lifetime.

The Hunt for the 363-Point Bull

As I've mentioned, I took my first big bull that netted 360 points in Unit 27. I didn’t draw Unit 27 again until 2008. Because I had hunted Unit 27 before, I had developed some places that were my go-to places. I'd either taken bulls there before, or I’d seen bulls at these places in past years. I like to call a lot and locate as many elk as I can when I'm hunting.

360-Plus Bull Elk with a Bow

I've taken all the elk I've killed in Arizona with my bow. In 1999, I took my biggest bull elk, but I killed my first elk in 1984. He was a small bull, and I was hunting in Unit 5B southon the east side of Nevada, near the New Mexico border. Normally, we don’t see many elk over there - not because the elk don’t live there, but because the vegetation is so thick, and
