JA Mule Deer, Aoudad & Hog Hunting

Hunting at the JA includes critters known and unknown--this one captured in the wild by Ninia Ritchie

 

2009 JA deer taken in March as they shed their horns.

We watched this deer try to knock of his horns for about 30 minutes

Below are three deer seen near the beat up buck above.

 

Hogs can be dangerous and impressive.   This monster was harvested by Steve Eytcheson in Oct. '08

This impressive deer was photographed at 213 yard.   The deer is probably 30" wide Deer in Boggy

Look at the width of Galen Harvey's 07 rack--30"   

or the height of Nick Skochko's 07 rack.

Top three photos by Steve and Rainey Eytcheson.  They have brought a lot to improving our deer program.

In late January, 2006, this deer came up to laugh at the folks at headquarters. Try to find me next year!

JA offers mule deer, aoudad sheep, feral hogs and quail hunting each year.   Big game leases are available by the acre or on a day basis with room and board.   There are also limited number of whitetail deer on the ranch.   Contact Jay about hunting.

Forrest Reeder harvested this incredible aoudad in Summerfield Pasture.   His RLgth was 34 6/8 & LLgth was 34 3/8 with a total score of 122 1/8-6th in Records of Exotics 2004 (p107).

A good day's harvest

Tay Flanagan and her New Year aoudad.

 Kurt Williams harvested this 25" aoudad in '06

Justin Howe & his old 250+ lb boar.  All of his tusks were broken. The only problem with this aoudad was that it was mid summer and 100 degrees.
