Brody is my new hiking partner. He is an eight month old shepherd from Utah.

Yeff2... My opinion is pre-season scouting is key to finding sheds. Unfortunately, as of late I have not had the time to do that but in years past it worked for me. I had some hot spots but over the years they have been found and ground pounded before I can get to them. I've been fortunate to...

They may not be much but they are something! I haven't had much time to shed hunt this season, so I was pretty happy to pack out these three Saturday.

My fourteen year old nephew Joey Penovich's first bull elk. It was a family affair!

gotthefever, Could you tell me the unit your dad is hunting? ksherm

My fourteen year old nephew, Joey Penovich took this nice 5x5 bull opening morning of the Utah Youth Elk Hunt. Opening morning our group including; my brother Joe, nephews Joey and Jordan, husband Justin and myself made our way to the top of the mountain with the intention to catch the elk...

Thanks for the feedback! I have been pondering for days what this condition could be and if it could be spreading throughout the herds. I still think this little guy needs to be put out of his misery! My nephew took a buck not far from this buck last year that was missing an eye. Makes me wonder...

My husband and I took our yearly July trip to the San Juan and Blue Mountains last week and was completely horrified by the condition of the deer herd. Five bucks we saw have the same condition as the buck pictured. This little guy just has the more severe case of the five. I was hoping to run...

As painful as it will be I need to make room to finish my basement by selling all my white (mostly hard white) sheds; still holding on to my browns for future projects. If there are any buyers in, or will be in the Price, Utah area and would like to pick them up for a reasonable offer feel free...

Two weekends ago I glassed up these sheds lying out in a valley but it was too late in the day to hike into them. So for a week I sat at work with them on my mind and also with the idea maybe there could be some browns out there too. Unfortunately, after a long hike and two snake encounters we...

Not one of my best years but happy to find what I did!

I wanted to share a few pics from my shed hunting outtings. It's been a tough season but have managed to pick up a few to keep my spirits up. My nephews have come to love the sport/hobby as well. Enjoy!

I drew a fall archery bear tag in Utah last year, but unfortunately I was not able to fill my tag. I can say I had an awesome time trying! Mama Bear and her tots, Pork and Chop would devour my bait station on a regular basis. She presented me with many opportunities for a shot, if only she would...

Your not seeing things. He still had some velvet on him.

It took three hunts and numerous stalks to finally bring the elusive 3x4 down! Kudos to my husband Justin for an amazing spot and to my brother-in-law Bruce for finally bagging him! My nephew Camron made a great shot on a nice 3x4 the same weekend. Good job guys!!! Persistence and team-work paid...

I wanted to share this awesome pic of the Mama Bear who has set-up house on my bait station. Her little tykes have gotten pretty fat and fluffy since the last pics I posted a month ago. It was an awesome experiece having them come into my bait while I was there. The Fish & Game are trapping...

I drew a fall archery Utah 9 Mile tag. I've been waiting a long time for it! It's so hard being at work wondering what is hitting my bait! Hope to have more pics plus a kill pic next week. Good luck on your hunt!

Unfortunately, I will have to pass on the beautiful multi-colored bear. It's a female with two (1 blonde pictured and 1 black) adorable cubs! Now the black, if he comes in this weekend he might be in trouble!

greyghost, Here are the measurements my brother sent to me. Base: 46" wide Bottom of base to top of horns: 50" high My brother built a wood template of that section of wall and gave it to his taxidermist so he could get the exact measurement and angle. It worked perfectly! Good luck on your...

Thanks everyone! The mount is awesome! Couldn't of asked for a better job and fast. I told my brother I was half owner since I was with him almost every day of the hunt not to mention spotted the ram for him:) I beleive I should be able to display it in my home for half of the year. LMAO:) Don't...

My brother, Joe Penovich bagged this awesome Desert Ram on the North San Rafael in 2011. Here is a before pic and some after pics. JOE WRITES: A big THANK YOU to Jay & Shan Ogden, Ogden's Taxidermy. What an amazing job! It's exactly what I wanted!! Ogden's Taxidermy Jay & Shan Ogden...

Eight mile hike one shed!! This year has been terribly disappointing for us! Hoping for a little luck in our future adventures.

I love the pics! I drew a fall archery Nine Mile tag. YEAH!! I went on the spring archery bear hunt with my husband about five years ago and have to say it was one of the most exciting hunts I have been on. I'm so looking foward to it!

I wanted to share my nephew's (Joey and Jordan) first experience shed hunting. I was leery taking them knowing my honey holes had already been hit by other shed hunters and the bucks are very few and far between. Anymore it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. I didn't want them to get...

Pic of my Uncle Paul and helpers (my dad far left) with a Utah bull he bagged in the 60's.

I wanted to pay tribute to my father, Joe Penovich Jr. who was an avid outdoorsman. I was able to find a few pics from the 70's and 80's of him in his element and a few harvests he made. He had all the skills and knowledge of a true "Mountain Man". May he live on in our hearts and memories...

I wanted to share a few of my favorite pics that my husband has taken over the past couple years. My all time fav is the first pic of the Muley in the snow storm. Enjoy!

Awesome pics! They look professionally done. Great work!!

It was a North San Rafael tag.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-19-11 AT 11:49AM (MST)[p]"ZR1", if this is you Zac we wanted to say congrats to you! You and your daughter also did well this season! Love the pics! Looks like the kiddos are taking after their dad.

He has alot of character due to brawling! Got to love the scar on his nose and just the way his nose looks in general. Can't wait to see him full body mounted!

It was definitely an experience, one that I nor my brother will soon forget. Anyone draws this unit look us up, we would love to help out!

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to see it up on the wall. It truly is a magnificent typical! I'm pretty jealous:) Just an F.Y.I., go check out the Desert Big Horn my brother bagged this year.(Sheep,Goat etc. Thread) That too was an awesome hunt!!!

I just noticed after posting the official score of my Father-In-laws buck (check it out in the muley thread) that I didn't post the age and score of my brother's Desert Big Horn. It was aged at 8 1/2 and scored 145. Thanks for all the nice comments!

I posted the pics of this buck in the photo gallery for the contest but didn't have the official score at the time. Just wanted to let everyone know it came in at 191 1/2.

Mental hunt is right!! My attitude was this is a once in a lifetime tag, no problem, bag and tag opening weekend! How ignorant I was. Definitely not like hunting Mule Deer and elk. We would love to take what we learned and do it all over again.

North, South pretty much the same right?:) lol I know I had a blast especially the few minutes before the shot and the hour or so after. That whole group of guys are a kick in the pants! It was fun and educational hunting with them.

After going on this hunt I feel the same way!!
