Now I know who found all the good ones before I learned to shoot. Super nice bucks. I used to hunt southeast Idaho all the time when I was younger. Used to see great bucks, but was terrible with a rifle. Now I can shoot but can't find anything better than 24-26". Great pictures, brings back memories of hunting with my dad!

Sweet buck, love the mass and the height, thanks for sharing.

IF you went to St Helena high, you probably knew the Galleron boys and Ron Borland, my college roommate.

I love those "as they lay pics" without the hunter messing them up.

cocinaelktaco · Aug 27, 2004

Thanks for taking the time to let us enjoy some of your hard work!, I use to hunt at lake berryesa, Graduated from Armijo in Fairfield 77, Did you get all of those from Idaho? Do you still get to hunt? I live in New Mexico now have my own ranch and still do not see anything close to what you have!!!!

All my big bucks except one were taken in Idaho.Yes I still get to hunt but not as much.I spend aroud90 days between archery rifle and muzzeloader. If a season is open I'm hunting or guiding.I graduated in 64. I played varsity football my freshman year at Benicia and we beat Armijo.Ha Ha. Then we moved to Lake Berryessa.
