I must admit, from time to time I still pull a “Biden” on fresh fired shotgun shells

My wife caught up with the big buck this morning, really heavy horned, great looking buck!

Definitely wanted him gone. Here’s a closer picture of this “buck of a lifetime”

Yes, the jawbone is from the spike. It has some wear which is typical of our 4 year olds; but not nearly as much as our average 6 year old bucks. (We pull the jaws from all our deer for aging, 50 - 60 per year…tooth wear is not an exact science but it’s reasonably accurate for aging). His...

It was exceptionally warm for us over new Year’s in south Texas, highs over 90 and lows around 70 Sunday thru Tuesday. Saturday AM was reasonably cool, I killed the junkiest buck I have ever seen: We had been trying to kill this buck for 3 seasons, only buck I have ever seen stay a spike...

Didn’t make it above freezing in South Texas today - that is very rare, especially on a day without a cloud in the sky. Frigid to us but we’re still 30 degrees warmer than some of you guys! Supposed to be highs in the upper 70’s over new years though, will be a little warm for our new years...

Made two trips to Colorado in October, my daughter drew a first season rifle bull tag in the secondary draw, hunt was over her 16th birthday. She killed a bull on opening morning. left my truck and all my gear in CO and flew home for a week then went back to hunt 2nd rifle deer. My Dad and...

It’s good that stuff is becoming available, but prices sure are high. I was able to get in on a bulk order for our local high school team to fill a pallet, managed to get several cases of Fiochi for $70/case. I’m definitely practicing a whole lot less, I don’t want to shoot up all my “cheap...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone…I’ve got a full belly and the Cowboys won, a fine day!

Nice buck, always thought it would be cool to hunt a mountain “wild” whitetail. I have killed truck loads of them down here on the “south side of hell” aka South Texas…I don’t hunt them for myself much anymore, my wife and kids , my buddies and my kids friends do all the killing the last few...

Best non-typical Best Typical 174” gross

No, he’s killed quite a few deer.

His second shot was unnecessary, the first one was dead on the money as was the second shot. Entrance wounds:

My son got his buck this afternoon. About noon I told him “let’s run to town and have a hot lunch…he wanted to check one Aspen covered hillside before we went to town. It was a spot we could glass from the road so I said why not. I could see a deer with the binoculars as soon as we pulled...

We had a well over a foot of snow in the high country, the deer are thick in sage and aspens. Quite a few elk have moved down as well. My Dad went out with my brother in law on Thursday and killed this buck right after it the snow stopped. (Yes he was wearing orange, vest is just out of view...

Switched up areas this morning and hit the motherlode of deer. Plenty of bucks, still nothing quite what I’m looking for, but some nice bucks in there. Little bucks are sniffing the does, bigger boys not interested yet. Had a herd of elk come through this evening as well, my B-I-L with a...

Started the morning at what we thought was a relatively unknown NF access…boy were we wrong! So we marched in dutifully with the orange army. Still saw a few deer, but about 20 minutes daylight I had enough of the pumpkin patch, so I signaled my brother in law to meet me and we decided to head...

Snow and cold in the forecast for the last 4 days of the season, hopefully that will get the bucks moving a bit more. Seeing lots of deer, saw one today that was very tempting, just not quite what I’m looking for. Will be back after it in the morning, looks like the morning hike is going to...

Made a 9 mile loop this morning, saw a few decent 4 point Mulies but nothing we were interested in, made it up to 11,200 just to check it out - lots of elk sign but the deer have cleared out up high. We got on one legal bull (my brother in law has a bull tag) but the bull got in the timber...

Cold this morning scouting, 5 degrees at our first glassing spot. The snow is pretty deep up high, deer seem to have cleared out of the real high country in my unit. Deer were moving all day, we saw deer from 10k feet in the aspens and 7 or 8” of snow all the way down to the winter range...
