13 freezing days and @brigadefmx got it done. I glassed up this bull 1.5 miles across a canyon. Vince made a cold and slow but ultimately successful 5 hour stalk! Was the toughest hunt I’ve ever been a part of that’s for sure! Between the temps, 25 gusting 40 wind, the crunchy snow, the straight up and down terrain and all the other people blowing bulls out left and right wasn’t sure we were going to make it happen by the end. Congrats @brigadefmx ! Well deserved! And thanks @landondirnberger for the help those last 2 days!
This deserves a featured spot! My forever wedding date @brigadefmx ❤️🔥 we clean up nice when we want to! #weddingdate #laketahoe #laketahoewedding #dressup

Unearthed one from the archives! Crazy how fast 10 years passes by! Feels like a life time ago and just yesterday all at the same time! Left photo is by @thewendy28 she was one of my favorite photographers to work with when I lived in San Diego! #anotherlife #sandiego #adventuremodel
My hunter Ray is 82 years old! The nicest guy you’d ever meet! He came up from PA at about 500ft elevation to 8500ft. He told me he couldn’t hike much so of course the universe decided to put a group of 4 bulls at 626 yards that we glassed up right from the road! He dropped him within a minute of us spotting them and was able to make the 3/4 mile walk out the ridge line to get his photo with his bull! He told me later that would be his last bull hunt. Can’t tell you how happy I am he got this bull in such a tough and demanding unit! And to @brigadefmx always for all your help #huntaz #elk #elkhunting @trophyoutfitters
Short little recap of my hunt set to music that’ll make one forget any of the struggle 🤣🤣 #hunting #mountainlife #hunt #huntAZ #couesdeer #guide #womenwhohunt
It is the rare occasion that one of us has a tag for ourselves, and we are not guiding. So far on this hunt the things that I’ve seen/experienced Not in chronological order. 1. A woman with a blown out tire driving solely on the rim (yes I changed her tire for her and she cried) 2. A blue and orange grasshopper @brigadefmx caught 3. The prettiest sunrises and sunsets (AZ beats NM on that one big time. 4. A female mountain lion stalking a group of big horn sheep and almost catching one. My cometary on the video is hilarious 5. A deer shed and several elk, other mountain lions and bears What I haven’t seen…… a buck I want to shoot!!! One more day🤞 #hunting #nature #mountaingirls #mountainlife #az #girlswhohunt
For years, hunters relied on paper maps, journals, and sheer intuition to plan and execute successful hunts. Today, smartphones have become just as essential as your bow or broadheads. With the right apps, you can track game movement, monitor weather conditions, and sharpen your skills, all from your pocket. But as with any tool, there are both advantages and drawbacks to relying on technology in the woods.

Congratulations to my hunter Bill on this absolute stud of a bull. This was his 26th elk hunt over the years and the first time harvesting a bull! He told me he wanted a 6x with a whale tail. We did one better with this 6x7!!!!! Happy to be a part of it out here at the lodge in NM @trophyoutfitters . Thanks @brigadefmx for helping get this giant back! I’d probably still be out there trying to load it 🤣. #hunting #archery #huntnm #guide #mountainlife #guiding #elk #bullelk #elkhunting #elkhunter
