As much of us sit in anticipation, was hoping to get some of you to share some pics and maybe stories to take a little of the edge off? ( If that's even possible?) I'll see if I can get something started here.

This was a super cool buck. Old, busted up ears, and ruler of the ranch!
I can't wait for him to be done at the taxidermist.

>and animals. Hope to see
>more this fall!


Thank you! I just got invited back to the ranch I shot the antelope on, so I guess now I need to outdo that one.

I'm still hoping for the archery elk tag!

One of the mules decided he'd rather try elk hunting than stay at camp. ?

Have posted this before but, always funny. Shot my first bull in 2010 in 16D with a bear in my lap.

This is a buddy's bull that i got to help with in 2016. First rifle season and it came to rest in a creek about 2 miles from the trail head. Made for a cold wet night.

This is my wifes bull from 2017. It was her first big game animal. This bull was taken just a shade under 4 miles from the trail head so the bike came in very handy with the rigged up trailer.

Solid work JJ ! Can't beat the feeling when you work that hard. Seems that you should invest in a four legged game cart ??
