I told Gabe squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. The rifle went off – I knew when I moved his hand there was going to be blood everywhere. On Thursday November 20th, my eight year old son Gabriel and I headed down to Chihuahua Mexico to a ranch that I lease for Gould’s turkey hunts. Over the past […]

By George E. Bowser As our plane touched down in Tucson, Arizona, my long time hunting buddy, Steve Manning, and I were looking forward to a new experience. It had been just over a year since we both collected fine Columbian blacktail deer in northern California, and now we were looking forward to the opportunity […]

By: George E. Bowser In the spring of 2008, Bill Gay and I had the opportunity to hunt the Gould turkey in Old Mexico with Steve Ward of Ward Outfitters. After three days of hunting the Rocky Mountains of Chihuahua, both Bill and I were able to complete our North American Royal Slam of wild […]

I remember applying as always for a shot at another AZ archery bull tag. Since I had 2 points I figured I might as well throw a hail marry and put in for my usual 5BS archery permit. Knowing I would probably not draw, I put my wife in for the limited opportunity archery tag […]

With tag in hand I booked my hunt with friend and guide Steven Ward of Wards Outfitters. Over the […]

So fifteen years later, “El Diablo” returns to Mexico for a Coues deer hunt with Steven Ward of Wards Outfitters. I drove with my hunting equipment to the SHOT Show in Las Vegas and then down to Tucson, Arizona. I think the round trip was nearly 5,000 miles. I haven’t flown with hunting gear in well over […]
