    Is he 200"? over 30"?

    Score? Shooter?

    The only way to get good at estimating score is to look over a bunch of bucks and that velvet can be deceiving so what do you think this buck would score? He is in a highly limited early season unit 5 points to draw just about any of the tags for a resident so would he be a first hour...

    Scouting 2016

    Its just about my favorite time of the year again and it seems to take until about July 1 for the snow to melt and the animals to get up high. This year the amount of calves is just amazing. I counted 2 groups of cow elk that actually had more calves than cows. Great to see. Also was able to...

    Starting to grow

    Seems to be a lot of deer this spring I watched a group of 17 bucks and another of 9 bucks last night in less than a hour of looking. In the next month they will be disappearing up high and right now you can get a idea of what made it through. Also got a pic of a up and coming ram.
