I'm continuing to help the successful youth hunters in my neighborhood to relive the excitement of their hunt each time they get to see their buck. I had a couple of first time huntresses take me up on the offer to do Euros for their first bucks. I got them ready for Christmas presents. Here...

I've made it known to the young hunters in my neighborhood that if they get a big game animal they shouldn't cut the skull plate off. I'll do a Euro for them. I want them to be excited about hunting and be able to think about their hunt experience each time they see their Euro mount. I had a...

The unit we hunt was a zoo on the archery hunt. My oldest son had a tag and we went down for the opener. He sent an arrow right over the back of a really big buck. It sure would have made for a nice buck on the wall, but it didn't happen. Later in the hunt he thought about drawing back on a...

I had a fun 5 day hunt with my son and brother. We had 2 tags in camp (me and my brother). We were both hoping for something big so we passed on a lot of bucks. Opening morning greeted us with 2" of snow and thick fog. We could see no more than 50 yards through the first 8 or so hours of the...

I don't do Facebook. I guess I'm one of the holdouts. MM is my Facebook. But when my wife showed me this little video clip I almost joined because it … we'll see for yourself. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2503551116599136

No tags for me this year. Last year was great with a Rocky Mountain Goat and a Muzzy buck for me and a Big horn sheep for my 15 year old. This year it was all about my two youngest sons. 13 and 16. My 19 year old came along too, so this was one of the first times I remember havimg just me...

Looks like the DNR made it official for my brother. He caught the Utah state record catch and release golden trout. They get a lot bigger than this in Wyoming, but it's a giant for Utah. It's slightly longer than the Utah catch and keep record but didn't weigh quite as much. Anyway, it's fun...

If any of you are looking for a quality taxidermist at a reasonable price, that has a great turn around time, Above Camp Taxidermy in Lehi Utah is awesome. I had three animals from 2109 in to be mounted. All would have been done by Christmas if I would have had the funds to have the work...

My son shot his big horn sheep ram on 11/01/2019. Story here: https://www.monstermuleys.info/xf/threads/a-father-son-california-big-horn-sheep-experience.118875/ Above Camp Taxidermy out of Lehi, Utah does great work and has quick turn around times. We got my son's ram mount back on...

This has been my new favorite year of hunting, with the crescendo being a Ram for my 15-year-old. Back in May I posted on Elkassassin's check your credit card post. To my disbelief, we had cc hits for 3 deer tags, a $413 charge for a moose or Rocky Mountain goat, and a $513 charge for a big...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-29-19 AT 11:19PM (MST)[p]Here's a long winded story for those who want to read it. Otherwise you can skip to the pics. After 15 minutes of searching for a dead buck, blood, or any sign of a hit, my heart began to sink. Did I really miss again? How could I have possibly...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-03-18 AT 02:29PM (MST)[p]This year was tough. Both my 14 year old and 17 year old had opportunities to shoot at deer on the archery hunt but we came home unsuccessful. My 17 year old had to eat his youth anybull tag due to football. I spent 4 days with my 14 year old on the...

I've been hiding my son's archery buck at my brother in laws. I got it back from the Taxidermist over a month ago but have been keeping it a secret. My son keeps asking how long before he gets his mount. I told him the taxidermist took in 25 bucks to work on, so it could be a while. I just...

This thread is going to be a place for me to post ongoing pictures of my kids enjoying the outdoors. Kind of like photo journal.

Monster Muley friends, I think I just had the most amazing archery hunt of my life ... and I didn't have a tag. It's long but you don't have to read it unless you want to. This was another year of the dreaded "UNSUCCESSFUL" notice. We didn't draw any of the 10 tags that I put in for my family...

I took my 14 year old and 11 year old out for a chukar hunt. We didn't get any chukars but my 14 year old picked up these three antlers.

The pictures don't do this mini three point antler justice. It's crazy how it is formed like a big three with eye guard, but everything is compact. I'm not sure if it came of a 1.5 year old buck with great genetics or a 2.5 year old with not so good genetics. What do you guys think?

Work stunk this week so I got off a couple hours early and went for a hike in the heat. Only found one, but even one gets the blood pumping. Here's tonight's ATL I got back to the truck via head lamp. It was a cool full moon tonight.

I feel silly posting the question of is this a shooter buck on a general Utah archery tag, especially for the unit he is on. If I had a tag there would be no second guess. Last night, I took my 11-year old to his first overnight with a scout troop. We camped along side 5 other camps all with...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-22-14 AT 11:49PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Feb-22-14 AT 05:42?PM (MST) Last year I posted up my sons curse with only finding 3 points Here's a link to that thread http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID18/5364.html He found his first four point the other day. Here it...

My first shed for 2014 was this two point. When I first saw it I thought it had a brow tine. When I picked it up it was a dagger point. I've heard people call themm devil tines before but for me devil tines are only on elk antlers. Here's the ATL Let see any sheds you guys have found with...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-02-13 AT 12:50PM (MST)[p]I've enjoyed taking my boy shed hunting for the past 4-5 years. We haven't ever watched a specific buck and found his sheds. We just go hiking in the areas that we've found to be winter grounds. We haven't found any giants and we average three miles...

Check out this Youtube moment. - Crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5sfYTjBWsEY I was shocked at how fast a bear can make it up a tree.

It's time to get the wheelers out to go thrashing the winter range vegetation and harass some game while your at it. I'm kidding of course. My neighbor was out with his metal detector looking for old coins and found this fresh brown four point. It still had blood on the pedicle. The pedicle...

I had no tag but went out yesterday to scout for a friend who was hunting the other side of the unit. I sent him a pic of this buck but haven't heard back from him yet. Was curious what peoples opinion is on this buck off the Vernon. He walked to 150 yards from me before he winded me...

My parents volunteered last summer as camp naturalists at an 8500 acre camp for girls. Their responsibilities included giving a 1/2 hour seminar to the groups about the flora and fauna found in the camp boundaries. They used some of my sheds for props along with pictures and dried plants...

So far I give myself an A for effort but I'm not quite ready to give myself a high grade for the outcome. This is the first time that I've tried to refurbish a shed. Many of the hard-core shed hunters on here probably wouldn't give this set the time of day. It has meaning to me, in that this...

I'm sure there's been a thread like this before (I didn't do a search) but a good laugh can come around again. Let's post up some funny things we've heard kids say. I'll start: I got my last two pound bag of elk jerky out of the freezer a couple of days ago. My four year old keeps asking...

http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=17596876 I'll bet it would be entertaining to watch slob hunters try to talk their way out of after hours shooting. I saw one of these set up several years ago down on the fishlake national forest. I was wondering whoelse may have had one flash in front of...

WIth all the CC hits, backdoors, and excitement about tags, I find myself discouraged as none seem to be coming my way this year. Not even a general deer tag. So this post is not about a tag. Some of you may recognize where this buck hangs out. I hope he stays around until he's hard horned...

Hi Friends, At seventeen years old I drew a cow elk tag. That hunt went unsuccessful. It was the only time in the previous 22 years that I hunted elk. When I drew the Expo tag for my hunt, it was in essence my first opportunity to hunt elk. I was told by many that the unit I would be hunting...

I'm new to elk hunting this year. I've been researching as much as I can. I'll be hunting Sept. 18th - 26th. It should be prime rut. I've read that depending on cow estrus cycles that the later part of Sept can be a rut rest phase while the bulls regain strength and the cows prepare to come...
