Arnold Sandoval with client and a nice Mexico mule deer from 2008
Hunt Sonora Mexico for trophy Mule Deer
I have a cancellation hunt to pass along for any of you who want to capitalize on a great deal. Arnold Sandoval, our South of the Border Editor, has just informed me that he now has a few mule deer tags now available coming up for prime time Mexico hunting.
Here is the deal he is willing to offer, so act quick as these may go fast. This is a tremendous deal.
$4,500 plus $1,000 kill fee ( 6 full days guided hunt, includes gun permits, food, everything). It’s a steal…
Coues deer can be added for a nominal fee.
If you want to head out hunting now for a Sonora Trophy Mule Deer, give Arnold Sandoval a call at (805) 300-1092.

Last Friday Denny Austad had the amazing Spider Bull officially scored by Boone & Crockett measurer Rusty Hall. The score hasn’t changed much from the estimated green score. That is a lot of bone to score. Where did it come in at? Well, early green score put the potential world record Spider Bull Elk at 500 4/8 gross and 488 net B&C.
After the 60-day drying period the official score is 501 0/8 gross and 480 1/8 net B&C. Wow! is all I can say.
So now what?
This score clearly shatters the current world record of 465 2/8. However, this is just an entry score. Because of the pending world record status, this bull will now be measured by a panel and determine the “official” accepted score. If it holds (and he has plenty of room to give up) the Spider Bull will be the new World’s Record Non-typical Elk.

Have a great story to share. Levi, our CEO here at King’s, and Todd, head of Sales, went off to hunt mule deer in Montana recently and came back with this nice buck. It was a tough hunt, but Todd took the brunt of it as he had quite a unique experience. The photo above was taken shorty after this experience and he is holding it in pretty good as his ankle at this point is pretty messed up.
I will let Todd relate in his own words what happened:
Do I have an amazing story for you. I attached a picture of a buck Levi and I shot in Montana last week. We got up to this buck and he was still alive. We gave it 15 minutes or so and he finally expired (we thought). We proceeded to position the buck and did a 6 to 7 minute interview with the video camera. After we got done I wanted to take some still shots but we needed to turn the buck around so I could get him skylined.
I grab his rear legs and Levi had him by the antlers. We rotated him 180 degrees. I was on my knees tucking his rear legs under him and all of a sudden, Levi said, “Toddy watch out”. I turned and the buck stood up and proceeded to drive me into the turf. I had my backpack on (luckily) as he hit me square in the back with his antlers and landed on top of me racking his antlers into my back from left to right. I was tucked and blown away this buck was taking me. After about 7 or 8 seconds he stiffened up and fell of me. I left my right ankle up the hill as I went down. We were back in about two and half miles. I had to get my pics taken, after which we took my boot off. I thought my outer leg bone had gone through my boot, is how it felt. It didn’t look broken so I cinched up the Danners, grabbed Levi’s bipod and off I went. I made it back to the truck by about 8:00 PM. The guys were great. We headed out and left our buddy Travis there to cape him out. he got down just after us.

I just posted some very cool slow motion video from Jim Burnworth. In his current bowhunting article he talks about shooting technique. Jim has done a lot of filming with advanced HD cameras during his testing of various archery products.
Check out his slow motion clips showcasing form, technique and a very intense slow motion video of an arrow being shot into another arrow hitting the target.
