My most significant hunting and fishing memories this year where killing my first green head, killing the first turkey I've ever killed solo, catching my Tennessee personal best with a buddy I met on my first day out here and put in at least 150 hours on that same little lake, and killing a whole mess of ducks with my best friend.

20160901_110413.jpg IMG_0033.jpg A good memory this year was Yuma dove opener. My buddy, his grandson and I (right) all shot limits plus 61 Eurasians. Just a great opener for us. Just the birds are from the morning shoot, and the group photo was the afternoon shoot with the majority being Eurasians. Looking forward to 2017! Happy New Year to All!

Awesome pics.
Double-teamed thus bull in CO with my brother with no time to spare before dark. I swear it sounded like WWI as the bull ran across that field , but we got him down before he reached the timber. At first I thought we just scared him to death.

Rad pics all.

2016 Was a very cool year on our end. Jan 1 my business partner and I took over management of a campground directly on the Colorado River south of Blythe. That meant lots of local hunting and fishing.

For dove season I got an AZ combo license and hunted across the river mostly so my oldest son was able to hunt with me and watching him bang away with a old pump 20 guage until his shoulder was black and blue was so cool. He didn't drop any birds but definitely knocked the tail feathers off a couple and really enjoyed himself. I regret not taking pictures of his first ever real hunt.

Shot several desert coyotes also throughout this past year, got another one last Friday afternoon and all in all had one hell of a 2016.

2016 was a great year for me and my son. My son got his first turkey, first ginormous long beard, and first three bird limit all in one season. And I got my long awaited San Diego bow deer after a long time since my last bow harvest. 2016 was a wonderful year.

The shot with your son is so rad! How old is he?
