    Good Mass

    I was fortunate to get home from my brother's OIL Bison hunt in UT in time to get out and hunt the second half of blacktail season. I look forward to trying to dig one of these guys out of the brush every chance I get! I ended up connecting on an old buck with great mass on the 4th day after...

    Finally got out!

    Met my son halfway between his place and mine at one of the state wildlife areas. We had a fun day hanging out and shooting at some ducks. Had some good laughs and actually hit a couple along the way :).

    The View From Here (New Years)

    Well after a long process and a lot of time and work we finally were able to get in the new house right before Christmas. We bought raw property a few years ago and did all the improvements getting power and water etc. to it. We also started a Honey Bee and Christmas tree business as a farm...

    2022 Fall Bear

    Was happy to connect with a great boar this season. He is a bruiser of a bear with jet black hair and four white blaze marks on his chest, and huge paws so I couldn't resist skinning him for a half mount.

    Spring Fun

    Had a great season this year. We had horrible weather and spring is a very busy time with both my day job and the honey bees. Luckily I was able to use the few good mornings without high winds and rain to explore some new country. I was able to hunt three very different habitat/terrain types and...

    Lucked out and drew an Expo Tag

    Somehow I got lucky and drew the Muzzle loader elk tag for the Wasatch unit. If anyone has any knowledge they'd be willing to share, it would be very appreciated. I think I have a good start on research already, but have never hunted this unit, so it will be another cool adventure! Please PM me...

    Another Deer Season Wrapped Up

    I was able to punch my tag on a nice fat black tail buck again this season here in Oregon. These old brush bucks can be frustrating, but sure are fun to hunt! They sure make a pile of great steak and burger.

    Region R

    I put in for Region R deer as a add on for my sure thing antelope hunt. Well as we all know the draws can surprise us. I ended up drawing the deer but failed on the sure thing :) . I will use it as an opportunity to scout my future elk and antelope units and have fun exploring some new deer...

    Last hours of the last day

    Well, I finally had a day or two to get out after a bear here in OR. On the last evening of the season, with a little over an hour left, I was able to pull it off and hang my tag on a nice spring bear. Pretty lucky, but happy!

    Another great AZ trip

    I had another fun adventure in AZ hunting Javelina. I was able to catch up with some guys I met on my first hunt, that I'm happy to say have became great friends. To top it off I was able to punch my 3rd tag in as many trips. As always I'm looking forward to the next chance to go back!

    Success in the High Desert

    Our OR elk hunt was tough this year, but we kept after it and on day 5 we saw and killed the only two elk we saw. I was able to connect on a young 5 point and my son tagged out with a spike. It was a great trip with family. A few ducks and chukars fell to my sons 20 gauge also.

    AK Spring Grizzly

    I was finally able to take advantage of an opportunity to hunt Interior Grizzly, thanks to an old childhood friend and my brother-in-law who both live in AK now. He wasn't the biggest boy in the woods, but I'm super happy with his color and hair quality. At the fish and game check-in they...

    AZ Elk

    Looks like I'll be headed to AZ with a late 7w rifle tag for elk this year. I wasn't really expecting to draw it til next year, but I had 1 more point than I thought :). I've had a lot of success the last two years in AZ, I hope that continues!

    Success in AZ

    Made it home from my AZ Javelina hunt. Had a great time getting away from the snow and rain at home. I was able to catch up and hunt with some friends I met last year while I was in AZ on my first ever Javelina hunt. We had a great time catching up and stuffed ourselves with great food. On the...

    If anyone has any knowledge they would be willing to share about 110 or 88 I would really appreciate a pm. I am taking a friend from work on his first out of state hunt and his first buck antelope hunt. These two units are new to me, but look intriguing. We have an average of 3.5 points, but we...
