Last Chance Buck




Good Friend Cody is having a great year! He was able to take this great buck the last night of his hunt. He told me he hunted hard for a bigger buck but when it came down to the last night he did not feel like having tag soup! Great job Cody!

Muzzleloader Elk


This year my brother Russ and I headed for the hills with muzzleloader elk tags. We stayed in a tent (Not the best idea when it is 16 degrees) but we had a great time even though we came home empty handed.

Dustin's First Buck



In two-thousand and seven good friend Dustin Dickamore was lucky enough to draw an out of state Wyoming deer tag. He hunted hard to turn up and harvest this great double cheater buck!

Big Bull For Cody



Recently in February good friend Cody Hale drew a tag from the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo.  He put in for 12 different hunts totaling sixty dollars. He was completely ecstatic upon hearing of the draw results.  He wasn't able to scout much due to work but after about twelve days of hard hunting He was able to harvest this bull with his bow.  He was hunting with long time friend Kurt Cheever and a recent acquaintance and new friend Kade Church.  They fell asleep on a wallow when this bull came bugling in and waking them up.  Cody made a great shot to stick him at 67 yards.  After about eight hours of packing they were able to finally get some sleep.  He has an unofficial gross score of 337 5/8.  He is a 6 x 8, having a split brow tine  and a cheater on the same side. Congrats to Cody for taking a great bull and making some memories to last a life time!

Boys Hunting Trip


Here is a picture I came across of my brother Russell's kids from a couple of years ago standing so proud with the spike their dad took. He took them with him and thought he would just drive around for the day. The boys ended up spotting this buck with some does. The buck was not quite exactly what Russ was looking for so he tried to tell them it was a doe but they knew better. After a few minutes of three boys begging he decided to punch his tag for them. To this day out of all the bucks Russ has taken this is his best according to his boys!  

ALASKA

For the last 2 weeks I have been lucky enough to hang out in Alaska.  While I was there Chuck and I went out and chased some bear and did some Silver fishing.  Although we saw some great bears we came up empty handed, but the fishing was great!  Thanks Chuck for a great two weeks!



Here are a few pictures of the locals I was able to capture on film!


MORNING OUTING

It's funny how it is so hard for me to get out of bed unless I am heading for the mountains then I can be up at four-thirty no problem. Go figure?

The moon was full making it easier for me to hike back into an area before the sun came up.
I did not see many bucks this morning but here are some pictures I took of some of the wildlife I was able to see.
This doe didn't see me until I was about ten yards from her.
