    Montana opening day bull

    My son-in-law, Steve drew a good limited either sex elk tag and I've been spending some time with him scouting and familiarizing him with the area. Generally speaking our scouting efforts were not very fruitful. That is, until last Wednesday, when I decided to go out and look until dark by...

    Find the second bull

    This one is easy! I posted it here because I was unaware that the second bull was there when I took this picture thru my Zeiss scope at about a mile and a half away(reason for poor quality.) It wasn't 'til I got home and loaded the pic on my computer that I noticed the larger bull. I had been...

    Nice sight to see on a short hunt.

    Went out for a short hunt, evening before last, right when a short period of storminess passed. Took this picture with my 3.6x zoom, Thought it was a nice sight to share even though the herd was on the wrong side of a strategic fence. Think you can count about 20-elk in the picture. I counted...

    Big bucks in Nevada!

    Spent nine days helping a good friend hunt his Nevada pronghorn. We ended up concentrating our efforts in some country where the bucks hung out in cedars (junipers) which for us was a new and challenging way to hunt antelope. One evening we spotted a great buck who came out of the thick stuff...

    Which ram would you shoot?

    These two rams are old, tight curled and impressive. Which one would you choose if you had the tag? Actually, you couldn't legally shoot them. I took both pictures in Glacier Park during early spring several years ago.

    B&C buck - better chance early or late?

    Over the few years I’ve been on this forum there has been numerous discussions about the best time to draw your limited tag to hunt a trophy mule deer. The general consensus has most often been that the rut is a guy’s best opportunity. I’ve never disagreed. It seems to me along with a lot of...

    Anyone draw a MT Rocky Mountain Front Sheep tag?

    Here's some scouting info for anyone who has drawn, or is applying in the near future for a Rocky Mountain Front sheep tag. I visited some of the higher country on one of the more prominent winter range areas in May this spring. I was in an area where the rams (50+) stage themselves, eating new...

    Considering a DIY hunt in WY unit-24

    I have enough elk points in Wyoming to have a chance at drawing unit-24 in 2014, if I cough up the fee for "special" tag. My chances are about 1 in 3, according to 2013 data. Any of you have any experience in the unit to support the optimistic forecast given by Eastman's recent MRS?

    Montana bulls in mid-November

    This is what I found the other day while deer hunting in a limited draw elk unit. Check out the body size of the big old 6-point. He was heading into the timber shortly after daylight, followed by his 5-point buddy and two raghorns who lingered in the open a while longer.

    Colorado 2nd season success

    A couple of fellows on this forum gave me some good info to help with planning where to hunt. They know who they are and I thank them very much. Hunting was tough with bluebird weather and full moon. I dealt with these obsticles by putting on my soft soled (sneakers) boots and hunting the...

    Only saw this buck once!

    A couple of years ago I was bow hunting on my neigbor's alfalfa field when I saw this mule deer buck. As I was sneaking on a bunch of deer feeding and bedded in the alfalfa, I saw this guy sneaking out the back end. Sorry, for the fuzzy pictures. I was pushing my telephoto to the limit...

    Putting in for Nevada? Pics of my 2012 NV buck

    On thursday of the last week of the season in eastern Nevada, I spotted this guy in the distance without time to get to him that evening. Pictures taken thru my spotting scope. The next day I set up for him in the dark hoping to see him close to where he was last evening. However, I didn't...

    Montana mule deer genetics are still out there!

    I've had a little trouble getting my first new thread posted properly. Had to have the administrator delete a couple of my first tries. I'm a new participant in this forum but actually I've been a member for a year and a half. I thought this posting would be a good way to introduce myself and...
