It was amazing country both in scenery and in the challenge but it ended well...

Got my daughter an early Easter present a puppy.  Hope to make a shed dog out of him.  13 weeks old and we took him on a 4 mile hike. 
Now Nikki has the biggest whitetail shed of the year too
I found the match to this horn last Nov when my mom was out hunting.  This is a 2 year old horn and he looks to be a 7x7 typical.  He has great mass and main beams.  We have hunted

She thinks we're just fishing

The BEAST is dead!

Katie scores big
You can say what you want about the heat and velvet antlers buck this is a damn good looking buck.  we had a couple friends out this last week from Wisc.  Katie had a combo tag. 
I'm not sad about this view
Took my 1st ever pack trip.  I've hiked into the Bob Marshel wilderness a ton but never on a horse.  My buddy has a sheep tag and we rode in Friday to spend 3 days looking for sheep. 
It's in his blood!!!!
Well I have created a monster.  My son watched this buck this summer and fell in love with him.  He would get the chance to make and blow 3 stalks on him over Labor Day.  One time getting

The end of the road for a giant
What a year. After 43 days of hunting one buck I finally was able to close the deal. Thinking back over the year I recall all the close calls. The 3 times I had him under 100 yards in full velvet
