Dukats Journal of Hunting

Spot Hogg is an archery specialty company known best for their arrow releases and sights.· When I finally got tired of my old square PSE sight, I decided to research finding a great new sight.· Sights have come a long way in the last ten years and you will be amazed at how much a new sight can improve your shooting.

First let's discuss some of the changes and why they help you shoot more accurately.

After 19 years of applying, my dream of sheep hunting finally came true.  I drew one of the coveted Arizona Desert Bighorn tags.  This was the toughest but most rewarding hunt I've ever been on. I was very lucky to have my friends help me out.It was a busy summer with scouting trips whenever I could get out (nearly every weekend). 

Opening morning was a bust with all of the rain.  My boat broke down before the hunt so I rented a pontoon boat that we named the "Sheep Wreck".  It proved to be the best way to access the sheep  in this unit.

Finally around 10 p.m., as I slid down a steep bank and found myself holding onto a folded Aspen above my head with my headlamp peering off into nothingness, I suggested we climb up to the first spot where we could lay down and try to tough it out through the night.

This is the story of a goat hunting adventure in the Colorado high country.  There were four of us, Dan, Scott, Matt and I and 2 horses. Dan had drawn the goat tag and the rest of us tagged along for the adventure.  Matt came along as the cowboy and his horses were awesome.  No rodeos, no injuries, and no days spent looking for them.

Arizona residents, Steve and Lori McGaughey, recently hit the hunting jackpot when they both drew Arizona antelope tags in the same season.  Arizona is an antelope hunters mecca and many people have applied for 20 years and not drawn a tag, let alone two in the same household in the same year. 

After 16 years of applying, Steve finally drew a muzzleloader tag in Arizona's Unit 8.  Arizona changes units and weapons around as part of their game management strategy and this season, hunting in Unit 8 was only available to muzzeloader hunters. 

The Arizona Game and Fish know something about how to generate monster bucks.  The Boone and Crockett world record antelope position is currently held by two bucks, both taken in Arizona.
