Hello guys I hope everyone's season is going well. So Oscar (Moosie) and I drew this tag this year again (2012). I jumped on to see what people are thinking of the hunt. It sure doesn't sound good. I know we will have a good time but was just hoping for any incite from people in the know of...

Hello all. Like always hunts, family and work have taken it's toll on time this year. Looking at the calendar and I have less than 2 weeks before my first Roosevelt Elk hunt. I drew this tag with 10 non-resident points so it's not a super easy tag to draw. Looking at harvest odds from the...

Has anyone ever hunted this unit before? My boy and I plan on heading down this weekend to see if we can find a decent one. Any info you guys can provide would greatly appreciated. I usually have time to do a little scouting for these type of hunts (Ones that you don't think your going to...

It's finally here!!! ;) After 12 years of applying I will finally get to spend some time hunting the Kaibab. I'll be leaving Idaho today and will arrive sometime tomorrow. Then I'll be wondering the hills aimlessly hoping to run into one of the few monster bucks that call this awesome place...

Hey guys and gals. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on an upcoming event. If you live in or are going to be in the Boise area July 28th- 30th then you need to make it a point to check out this class. I've known Corey for quite some time know and let me tell you when he talks hunting...

Sorry guys I don't have time to write a story. I just got back yesterday from my Idaho deer hunt. Headed to work today, cutting up the deer tonight. Going back to work tomorrow and then leave for my Colorado deer Thursday morning. Sometime in there I have to pack for the next week and a half...

Went down to Wyoming for a quick weekend hunt. Ended up taking these two goats on the same day. Lots of fun but a little different antelope hunt then I'm use to. IB

After 10 years of appling I finally drew an Arizona Archery elk tag. The rut was very slow and finally on the 7th day I called this bull in to 20 yards. He's a straight 7X7. IB

I wanted to post a little something about my little man before I got to my boring stuff. I'll get to my part of the story later. Ever since last year we have been practicing shooting his single shot .22. He was getting better everytime we went out shooting. After blowing up a few hundred...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-02-06 AT 08:03AM (MST)[p]Well some of you have probably had the chance to see the video of the one that got away. I beat myself up for 7 days thinking of what went wrong and of what could of actually happened. A buddy and I had planned on hunting a different area when I had...

The luck continued for my wife this last weekend. On the first evening we spotted this buck with two smaller bucks. We made a long stalk and after a long shot she connected on her best buck. It was awesome having lil' IB there with us on the hunt. It adds a whole new dimension to hunting...

Well at least someone can hunt in my family. My archery hunt went as bad as one can go and with the lack of bulls I was seeing I was worried about my wife's rifle hunt that was coming up. In 14 days of hunting that unit I only saw a handful of 6 points and all of them small. But as we all...

Here is a set I found about 12 years ago. The set was around 1 year old and not in to bad a shape. I used the browtine method and I think it came out fairly good. Just maybe a shade to dark. But I love those dark timber bucks anyway. I then put them on a repo skull that I got from MrB...

Went out on Monday hunting some chuckars and checking out a new area for some sheds. We found some birds and I found my first freshy of the year. The old three points is a set.

Here are a few sheds from our last hunting trip. Moosie picking up a 77". A nice 6 point shed spotted about .5 mile away. The pile we found in 3 days. The best shed was a 83" typical. The crew left to right. (Me, Moosie, Browtine)

Well I was lucky enough to draw a 2nd chance late elk tag here in Idaho. I had never hunted this herd in November so I wasn't sure what to expect. A buddy and I went up 3 days early to scout and hunt deer but the weather had other plans. The first 3 days we were in white out conditions...

I went up a couple days early to scout for a moose for my dad and to hunt a specific goat I have seen for 4 years. This goat lives up in the forested area right next to all the deer and elk. I headed up early on Sunday morning and was getting into his hangout when I spotted him running down...

I was in the same area I took my antelope when we had a little success on other animals. I took my lope on the 29th. My dad took his deer on the 30th and Steve took his bull on the 31st. It wasn't to bad of a trip except we had to cut it short because of the heat and the chance of spoilage...

I'm in the market of getting a new deer and elk rifle. I have a Ruger M77 in a 7mm and really like that round. So I went to Sportsmans and looked at a few of there rifles. I really liked the Sako 75 Finnlight and the Sako 75 Stainless Synthetic. The price was around $1200. Everything about...

Well to say this bear baiting is fun would be an under statement. Moosie kept talking to me about getting up to hunt with him and I kept kind off low key about the whole deal. But after gunner and I went up a month after the season. I thought it was time to give it a try. A little late but...

Guys and gals I need some help here. I have never really had any intentions on mounting (I'm talking Taxidermy, Moosie) a turkey but after taking this turkey I thought I might. My questions are is it rare for a Merriams to have 4 beards? Each beard is about 1" apart so they are definetly...

Well I went up with a group of guys from work and we had a pretty good trip. Our buddy Scott was able to take his first bear at 200 yards with his rifle. It wasn't the biggest bear but still a good one for his first. Then WileyCoyote (Willie) and I did a some turkey hunting and I was able to...

Went out again this weekend and it's starting to slow down for me. Everyone is finding all the sheds. :( I went out twice and found 2 fresh and one old spike. It's time to look for a new area. Anyway here are some pics hope you enjoy. Nice buck with only one side. Caught this guy...

I went out the last few weeks to get some pics of deer. Nothing big but cool to look at. Some big two points running around. Two Coyotes. I wish I had my rifle but I decided not to bring it that day. Couple youngins' playing around. One buck with, one without. Pretty dang big two...

Here are a few more. I thought I would brake it up a little so I didn't take so long to view them all. This is a pretty big 4. I can't beleive I missed this one last year. Decent 3 point. Decent 4 point. I found these in about 10 minutes. I got lucky and found a spot that wasn't hit...

I went out trying to get some decent pics of bucks and found these sheds. Not many fresh but a few nice ones. I lucked out on this one. It was cold and everything was frozen so it was hard to see the shed. How many sheds do you see? The match. Can you find the shed? Now? Now? I...

I finally broke down and bought the new Panasonic FZ20. I'm pretty happy with it especially the zoom. This was the first day out in the hills trying to get some decent pictures but the weather wasn't cooperating by being overcast. I think that is why some of the photos came out dark. I'm...

I went out trying to get some pics with the new FZ-20. Took lots of pictures and was lucky enough to find a two year old 3 point. I started noticing a few bucks that had shed so I walked around where they were at, no luck. I headed back towards the truck and started glassing a huge basin...

Here's a big non-typical elk skull my buddy found while archery hunting for elk in Idaho. It was either a wolk kill or lost from the previous year. My buddy said he followed a line of bones until he found his prize. He said the rack was face down in a bunch of brush with the non-typical side...

I finally had time to get some pictures of the sheds, skulls and broken tines I found while shed hunting. Some are in the field (when I had my camera) and some are in the back yard. I hope you enjoy. This freak elk shed was found on a rifle deer hunt. He had all kinds of round bumps all over...

Well I went solo on Monday morning 10/25 and had a great day. I saw well over a hundred deer with a total of 14 bucks. I'll skip over all the boring stuff and get right into the fun part. I had decide it was time to head back to the truck with about 1 hour left of light. I just crested the...

I know I'm a little late but I'm finally getting some time to post. My season started out bad but ended up ok. Sorry for the long story!!! The first day of my seven day hunt started on Sept 7th. A friend and I arrived about 3pm and had enough time to hunt the area I killed my bull last year...

Here is other side of Match 3. He is almost identicle to the other side. Has only 2" of deduction between both horns. Here is the set.

Here is the other side to Match 2. He has 7 points on this side. Here is another picture. Here is both antlers together.

Here is the other side of the big 3 point side. He has 7 points on this side. Here is the match together.

Early season shed. My son holding early season shed. Another shed a little later in the season.

Try and guess what the other side looks like. If you want you can guess what it might score for each shed and total. Here is #3.
