Youth PCBA Antelope Hunt Scheduled for 2016

The three young men who bagged antelopes took their processed meat home with them and took the heads for mounting or the horns for European mounting. The heads had been skinned out by the meat processor, the hides frozen, and the horns had been removed from the skulls.Besides the financial help we received from the PCBA, my friends and I held several fund raisers to help pay for all the other incidentals and the food

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

Kelsy Robbins Tries to Do It All

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to do anything else other than what I'm doing. I love hunting; I love being with Cody, having an outdoor TV show and working with Cody. But, I also love being a mom, being with our daughter and having family time. So, we’re learning how to work all these things out.

Kelsy Robbins’ First Elk Hunt

In 2009 or 2010, I drew a tag for my first elk hunt. Cody had hunted elk before, but he hadn’t taken an elk. He’d been running the camera when other hunters took elk. We were hunting in the prairie lands of Saskatchewan. To be honest, neither one of us really knew what we were doing. We weren’t even sure we knew how to use an elk call.

Kelsy Robbins Becomes an Outdoor TV Co-Host

After Cody and I got married, I became more involved in the TV show. At first I was featured in one or two hunts every now and then, and I hosted a small segment of the show. But as time passed, Cody wanted me more and more involved in the show. Cody wanted me to go on more trips with him. He didn’t want me staying at home. However, there are so many husband and

Tips for Eliminating Scent Transfer

A great deal has been published about the whitetails’ sense of smell and how incredibly sensitive it is. There’s no doubt, that’s one serious snoot! Much has also been written about using products like Scent Killer to reduce odors on our person, clothes and other gear while hunting, but less has been told about “scent transfer” and the smells you may be leaving behind.

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

Hunting Mule Deer and Cow Elk

After 35 years of putting in for a mule deer tag in Wildlife Unit 12B on the Kaibab Plateau, I finally drew a late season (November) tag for a rifle hunt - not a bowhunt. We’re only allowed to take one mule deer per year, whether you take the animal with a bow or with a rifle.So, this year I’ll be concentrating on hunting a mule deer in Unit 12B.

Beating the Dreaded “October Lull”

If you listen to the chat in the local archery shop about a supposed “lull” that happens during the hunting season you might think it’s useless to venture forth in pursuit of whitetails during this time. It even has a name, in the northern half of the country it’s called the “October lull,” but southern hunters from Georgia to Texas also believe this mysterious phase happens, just later into the season.
