Barbary Sheep, Elk, and Buffalo Hunting with Paul Bias

Barbary Sheep, Elk, and Buffalo Hunting with Paul Bias

 

Show Notes:

Paul Bias is an Arizona native, and has been hunting since he was a young kid. He does some guiding on the side right now, but he’s anticipating moving to guiding full-time in the next few years as he gets ready to retire from his day job. 

 

Paul lucked out this year and drew some really awesome tags. COVID may have scared off some hunters, but it gave him an opportunity to really get out there and hunt some new species. Drawing a tag as a non-resident is like betting against the house. So when Paul got one for New Mexico, he was thrilled. 

 

He started scoping out his elk hunt online beforehand, but with barbary sheep, he’d never hunted them before so he didn’t know quite what he was doing at first. He started out on the desert floor, and glassed them up on the mountains. Then he’d stalk them up the mountain, heading straight up and over piles of shale. He’d find the sheep consistently through the binoculars, but going up the mountains really added an element of surprise into the hunt. 

 

In June, Paul’s going up for a buffalo hunt. He’s taking every opportunity to get out there and see some amazing scenery and go stalk some new animals. Don’t put off your next hunting trip because you want everything to line up perfectly. Get out into the wild and enjoy the hunt.

 

What’s Inside:

• Paul’s approach to pulling tags, and why now’s a great time to just go for it.
• People always have an opinion about their first shot being perfect, so Paul shares his strategy around getting that first attempt just right.
• After processing the meat from his last elk hunt, Paul talks about some of his favorite game meat.
