Extreme Bowhunting

[scutchens]

Just left Extreme Bowhunting after 4 of us from Nc and GA made a 2 day trek across country! What a great trip and a fantastic operation!! Caleb was top notch and his dig Champagne was something to see. We all had the Safari package and came home with plenty of critters and have a few more close calls that we couldn't seal the deal on! I can't say enough not only about the operation but the way we were treated by Caleb. It's a long way to drive but he made every mile worth it! His dog Champagne was one of the best tracking dogs I have seen. We had a tough shout on a Ewe and she ran down in the canyons. We thought for sure once she went down there that were done. He set her on the track and she went to working. After about 5 min we heard her baying and sure enough, not only did she find her but she held her up until these flat landers could get caught up to her! That was bonus excitement getting to watch her work! Accomadations were solid and me and the boys had a Great time! We hunted hard and didn't stop the whole time. Already booked for next year now all we have to do is "Hang on"!!

I was the old guy on this trip. I second the ''Had an absolute blast.'' We saw lots of critters, had chances at many, killed several. Caleb knows his stuff for sure. I feel like this was a true trophy hunt. To me, trophies are in the memories and experiences. For a record book animal, this may not be the best place in the world to go. For the fun factor, and the opportunity to hunt a bunch of species, this is the place. The costs are reasonable, the guide is great, accommodations are decent, and the management practices of the ranch give the hunter the chance at a good representative animal of the species in the packages. My biggest surprise was how wild all the animals are. Bring your ''A'' game or you can easily get skunked here. Everything Caleb told us before the trip was spot on as to what happened. If you want a no frills real hunt this is the place. If you like a 5 star resort and royal treatment, not so much. I'm already booked for next year.

Keep trying - Caleb is often hard to get ahold of,... but he will get back to you. - c

[COBowhunter]

Hey all. Does anyone know if this place allows crossbows? My Old mans shoulder don't hold up to drawing a compound anymore.

[mighty]

Looks like a good place

[geezer56]

I'm the old guy in the photos. I have a few arthritis issues as well. I can still shoot vertical, but it just ain't as easy as it used to be. I asked Caleb about crossbows while I was there. He said OK for restricted hunters (Meaning old dudes) for meat hunts. Not for trophy hunting. I took it to mean OK for pigs, does and farm type critters, but not Aoudad and other horned species.

[COBowhunter]

Thanks for the info. This looks like it's an awesome place.

[geezer56]

It is beyond awesome. I am hard to pry loose from a dollar, and we booked again for next year before we left.

[COBowhunter]

I'm really interested in the axis deer and aoudad there. Did you see a lot of aoudad and axis within bow range?

[Possum Fat]

Im really thinking about doing a meat hunt

[geezer56]

Lots of aoudad. More sika seen than axis, but they are both there. My son had 5 axis bucks on him and got busted trying to draw. scutchens killed a nice sika buck. We also saw a bunch of red deer. Critters are there in abundance.

[COBowhunter]

Guess it's time to work some overtime and talk the wife into letting me take a guys trip to hunt aoudad.

[Jason G-L]

looks like a great time. between here and bar j for the next trip

[ace340cs]

[ahunter55]

[Screamin Eagle]

Congrats!

[240m3srt]

Appreciate this thread. I spoke to Caleb this morning and im about to send in my deposit.
Ill be heading down from WY this year after mule deer and Elk season are over...

[takoma]

I saw on the facebook the other day they shot some good Aoudad over there. Top rate guide and place for the amount they charge. highly recommend Caleb and Extreme. I've pushed hunter groups his way and they all had a good time !!! - c

[Fracman]

Caleb got back to me. Its seems like he does his best to get back to you. Totally professional and very accommodating! Im looking forward to what dates comes back with!

was wondering how your trip went in sept texan 105 looking to book something for end of season

[ahunter55]

anyone been lately.

[peterp63]

I am interested, as well. Sounds like a fun hunt for a group. Are there a fair number of stag, axis, fallow, blackbuck to shoot when selecting the Safari package? I wonder how often they restock.

According to Caleb, they don't re-stock much. Most of the critters on the ranch are born there. No shortage though.

[chris2995]

We are going in January and hoping to have good results. Not sure what the temperatures will be that time of year down there

[geezer56]

Temps are iffy. One day the low is 30. Next day its 70.

[hef187]

Met Caleb, and his cousin in Del Rio when they helped me track a ram. Awesome guys, and dog!! Looking forward to setting something up with them

[Smith2001]

[geezer56]

February 10th is now looming large. The hillbilly gang will be headed back down then. Can't wait, can't sleep. I am just a 67 year old kid waiting on Santa.

How did y'all do?

[Bryan2014]

Wow their prices are fantastic

[geezer56]

We had a ball-Again! Already booked for next year. My son got a sika doe and a nice billy. I got a good ram, Dave wore the pigs out, and scutchens killed everything on the place. Hopefully he will post pictures, or start a new thread.

[thadmcm]
