After being hit we jackknifed in the median, rolled a couple times, hit a light pole, and came to a rest on our wheels in...

    2018 Wyoming Archery Elk

    After 5 years of waiting, I finally was able to draw a type 9 archery only tag for the Bighorn mountains. Having never hunted elk at all, my high school buddy and I were very excited to give it a go. Little did we know how much fun we were going to end up having! Our very first evening we walked...

    2017 Wyoming Antelope Buck

    I was very fortunate to take yet another great Wyoming antelope for 2017! Didn't get a chance to put a tape to him before I dropped him off at the taxidermist, but I think he's going to score very good!

    2016 Wyoming Archery Whitetail Down

    I was fortunate enough to take this very nice Wyoming velvet buck on September 2, 2016 with my Hoyt from the ground. I initially had him at 5 yards and had to wait for him to get out to 30 before I drew my bow and sent the arrow! It's my first full velvet buck and I took him the day after my...

    Giant Indiana Management Deer Down!

    I took this old Indiana warrior off the farm this weekend during opening weekend of firearms using my Thompson Center Muzzleloader. Old Mature deer that I wanted to take out. He's a main frame 7 point that I'm very proud of!

    Was fortunate to take this great whitetail on September 1st with my Hoyt! Made for a great day taking him and a great antelope on the same day. Scored right at 140'' with the rather impressive brow tines he had.

    Gross Boone and Crockett Indiana Giant Whitetail!

    I was fortunate enough to take this 171 7/8" gross Indiana Giant with my Hoyt on November 7, 2014! I watched this buck on trail camera all summer and seen him a few times in velvet, but he was mainly running a farm that I did not hunt. On November 3rd I checked my trail cameras and realized that...
