Anybody heard any reports of what the DNR is predicting for fawn mortality rates in northern Utah this winter? I heard a report/rumor that southern Idaho was predicting 80% mortality rates for their fawns. I have no idea if that was official DNR reports or just speculation because I can't find...

Here is a little throwback video from 2 or 3 years ago of a young 4-point having a standoff with a coyote in the high country. About a minute into the video the stand off will end....who wins? It was my first video using a phone skope so cut me some slack on the quality.

Well my father-in-law was able to get it done on the Henry Mountains while I was up there with him. I was only going to be there from Friday-Tuesday and he sealed the deal on a great buck on Tuesday morning. We initially found this buck on the night of the opener and spent the next two and...

Big weekend coming up this weekend! I don't have a tag in my pocket but my father-in-law has a Henry Mountains rifle tag. He has been down scouting a few times but I haven't been able to make it down with him yet so I am stoked to go check out the area finally! I'll be down there from...

Here is a little short video of the journey to kill "Captain Hook"

I was able to get it done on the Utah general muzzleloader hunt! We had such a fun hunt and made tons of memories! We had a little bit of everything weather wise; rain, hail, heat, cold, wind, and up to 8 inches of snow of the ground in some places. The story behind this buck is a fun one...

Its been about two weeks since I last updated my thread here. Not much has gone on in those two weeks. Checked one of my trail cameras one weekend, which had plenty of pictures on it but nothing too big. I also got my muzzleloader dialed in so I am ready to rock and roll for the Utah...

Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot to update right now. My general spike/cow elk tag ended Friday and I am coming away empty handed. It was a weird year for me elk hunting! I spent 9 different days hunting trying to fill my freezer and I just could not locate the elk this year! In those...

You should submit this story and photos to Eastman's magazine. I think this is a quest that all hunters should read about. Awesome job! Congrats!

Made it out for another hunting/scouting trip this past weekend. We headed out Friday morning so we were able to hunt Friday afternoon/evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning. We didn't have much luck on the elk side of things. Friday night we were only able to find two small 5 points...

Unfortunately this week I don't have anything too exciting to post about. We headed out this past weekend for the opener of the spike/cow OTC elk tag but didn't have much luck. We saw a few elk and my buddy missed a 2xSpike at 47 yards Saturday night but other than that, nothing too exciting...

Read David Long's book, "Public Land Mulies: The Bottom Line" - He talks about how it has been proven that most high country bucks live within a two-mile radius of their summer patterns. They don't move far and this has definitely been proven in my experience! Last year my buddy killed a high...

Had another successful scouting trip last week. Found a few bucks, two really good ones. I was only able to get a short video of one of the bucks and it is poor video quality at that because it was right at dark and about 800 yards away so it made it awfully difficult to get a good video with...

Made it out for a quick scouting trip on Saturday morning into the high country. This trip was mainly to check trail cams but loaded the horses up at 4:30 AM and made it on top in time to find 13 bucks. 4 or 5 repeats, but the rest were new bucks and 4 or 5 of them were good bucks. My uncles...

Well as I mentioned in my last post I made it out to some new country with my cousin. It was definitely way different than what I am used to hunting but it has been producing big bucks year after year and it produced again this time around. It is so much different because I have been hunting...

Sorry folks, I embedded my last video incorrectly so you had to click the link. Here it is so you can just click the actual video right here on the forum. I'm heading out tonight for an evening scouting trip with high hopes of a new area I'm heading into. We'll see what I find.

Finally made an overnight scouting trip into the high country in northern Utah. My foot that has been broken held up well and I think I am finally to a point of being able to do some hiking to get into all the bowls I want to look into and find a few big ones. We saw 18 different bucks on this...

I'm in Northern Utah and in my experience they typically grow until about mid August. Some say their antlers grow up to 1/2" per day but from mid July to August I think they slow down a lot and are maybe growing 1/4" per day. That said, they have about 21-30 days left to grow so he might put...

Well I made it back into the doctor last week and the good news is my bone is no longer broken and I can finally start easing myself back into walking in normal shoes. I have to wear my walking boot for 1/2 days for the next week or so as my foot builds it strength back up but I am excited to...

I know we won't be road hunting. Once we're down there my FIL likes to get down to business and hikes around like a billy goat and likes to be in the high country, it's just getting him down there now while the bucks are still growing that is the difficult part. I'm sure he'll eventually get the...

As I mentioned in my last post, I have had a broken foot this year so it has made it tough to get out and scout. I find out this afternoon though if I get to get my walking boot off or what the next step to healing is. Keeping my fingers crossed! I've teamed up with one of my cousins this...

Hey everybody! My father-in-law is the luckiest person in the world and drew the Henry Mountains rifle tag with just ONE point...yes you read that correctly, ONE point! Neither of us have ever been down to the Henry's and my father-in-law has never been much of a scouter so I am trying to...
