Here’s the 4 deer I took in 2023, as well as their confirmed lab ages and respective scores. 4.5 years old. 156” 5.5 years old. 171” 6.5 years old. 180” 5.5 years old. Didn’t score. Maybe 90” lol I think it would be awesome for anyone that also got deer lab aged from last year (or any...

Thank you Wyoming game and fish and Wyoming residents for allowing me to come as a non resident and have EASILY the best deer hunt I’ve ever had. It was such an enjoyable experience in truly awesome country. My good buddy and I drew tags together. We made 2 separate scouting trips from CA. One...

Recently killed my best buck to date. 2 out of state scouting trips and then 11 days on the mountain passing on several 160” type bucks, ended with my first 180” buck. It felt good to pass on deer and actually have it pay off in the end. Glassed him 1.2 miles away and was pretty sure he would...

Got my most recent CA buck back from the taxidermist a while ago and put him between my other two best CA bucks. Happy to have them all together, and hopefully add another this year! Hunting here is pretty tough, but there are some good bucks around, just not very many haha. These are all...

I was able to fill all six of my tags for 2022. In New Mexico, Utah, California, Idaho and Nebraska. The elk tags were both draw tags, solo, on public land. The CA tags were basically OTC and solo on public land. ID was OTC public land. Nebraska was OTC private land! And my last hunt of the year...

I have a late archery mule deer tag starting Jan. 2023. I normally like staying mobile in an area I'm new to, but the range north of silver city looks pretty sweet, with not too much access. Assuming HWY 15 is maintained and open year round? Do deer migrate out of these mountains at all, or are...

I found him on July 10th I believe. And then again on July 24th. I never went and looked for him again after that. I ended up killing him on opening morning of rifle season just 100 yards from where I found him on July 10th. It was an awesome feeling! I knew he was big, and possibly even the...

If you had an absolute hammer of a buck scouted up, but the ONLY way to kill him was to live above him and still-hunt into his area every day in hopes of catching him cruising through or feeding, would you do it? Visibility would be about 100 yards MAX in most areas along the ridge. One of the...

Already started my 2022 season in January with a booner AZ Archery Javelina at 50 yards. My season will continue with 5 deer tags and 3 elk tags for this year. Late August - Archery deer California Sept 1st - 16th - Archery elk in NM & UT Sept. 17th - 25th - Rifle deer in Idaho Late Sept. -...

Setting up some arrows with both fixed blades and mechanicals for some archery elk hunts I have coming up. I think I’ll keep both in my quiver. For different scenarios. But I was curious who’s killed with both and what you think of how each performs. I’ve only killed a cow elk with a bow. It...

I'm blown away right now!! I drew a 16C New Mexico archery elk tag just a few weeks ago. And now, today, I drew a Utah random tag for archery elk in the Central Mtns, Manti!! I also drew a late season archery deer tag in NM in a decent unit. I may never see a draw year like this again! So...

Unreal on the draws this year. Drew an early 16C archery elk tag and a late season 24 archery deer tag! While I know these will not be cakewalk type hunts, I am super pumped about these tags and got my bow already shooting broadheads extremely well out to 75 yards. I'm preparing heavily for...

Killed my best buck to date towards the end of the 2021 season! This was the last day of a 7 day backpack hunt. Strange whitetail type frame on him also. Just got the lab results back and he aged at 7 1/2 years old! I love getting them aged, such cool info to know.

I got three deer aged last year and thought it would be cool to try and guess their ages (I actually know their ages already). I know it'll be a bit different because I only have one living photo of one buck, the rest are just the "trophy" photos. So it won't be as technical as having the...

New to forum! Found it after watching all the monster muley videos on youtube recently! This is my 3rd season mule deer hunting. I elk hunt also, but mule deer are definitely my passion. I feel like I'm ready to start pushing that next level buck potential. I've hunted/scouted nearly 250 days...
