I'm reading the Kaiser's Web by Steve Berry right now. This is the 16th in the Cotton Malone series and I've read all of them. I like John Sanford's Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport series also. I also like CJ Box and Tony Hillerman.

Thanks Dan. This was my 2nd out of state hunt with my family. We were hunting the Gravelly Range mainly for elk. There weren't a lot of deer but if you saw one it would most likely be a buck. We saw very few does back then.

This one from Montana 1962 when I was 12.

Geez... If I just a 44 deer tag... LOL

My California Bighorn is 8 1/2 years old. Wish I had aged some of my bucks. I think a few would have gone 6 or 7.

I'm 70 and an old truck driver. 44 years ... mostly tankers. I grew up in the northern California Sierras and have retired to Nevada.

CC that 30 incher is a monster for California ! I grew up in the Sierras and I have never seen a buck like that where I lived. Congrats !

I did not get many photos of him in the field. Here's one in camp and one of him on the wall. Wish I'd had a better camera back then instead of little Kodak Instamatic. My wife was with me and we had quite a time getting him into the Jeep. The Jeep did not have a tailgate and I had to take the...

My highest scoring buck. My 2nd highest scoring buck.

I don't think it's a good idea. I know a lot of those whitetail programs are doing it but that doesn't make it right in my book. Kind of like Pete Rose betting on baseball... LOL. I usually hunt with 4 or 5 other guys and we started out, years ago, putting $5 in a pot and the guy with the...

No mule deer tags for me. Heading to Wyoming for antelope. It will be a fun family hunt.

If you find roads that cross private property they will most likely be blocked off. Access can be a problem.

I'm with CC. Antelope Island or even the Henries. I've always been a mule deer hunter at heart. A big buck still gets my blood pumping! When I was younger, I'd dreamed of hunting Stone sheep in Canada. That would be my 2nd choice. Something about sheep hunting... I could get hooked !

go_deep... Your report sounds encouraging ! I hope to have a antelope tag in 73 this year. Should be finding out soon.

This was one of the best hunts that I've ever been on. We had a big family/friends camp set up in our favorite campsite. I think there were 17 of us and several big bucks were taken. This was my 200 inch 5X6. I had to leave him overnight and just hung him in this tree. The last night in camp...
