Larry, these are for you my friend! I have been going out to the island to try and get Mule Deer shots for a couple of years and I finally came across some in a situation where I could get some decent shots. I sure wish the lighting was better but you take what you can get when it presents...

Posting for a friend of mine. Not a bad buck for his first buck ever and his second year of hunting with a bow. Shot him on Sunday morning. Thought you might enjoy! "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify their authenticity." - Abraham...

Did anybody else see this show? Founder - Looked like a fun challenge. Give us some more info. Was it good? Seemed a little tree-huggerish to me grinding up your coals and spreading them around the desert! :-) PS Outdoors, I am pretty sure this is a General Topic even though it is about...

I had this come across to me the other day from Outdoor Life Magazine (e-version). Issues such as this are always emotional, on both sides of the aisle, so I always try to be as objective as possible and consider all points. The study was funded by some big name orgs (RMEF, etc.). I found the...

Just thought I would share what a buddy of mine made for me out of one of my Bull's Ivories. I thought it turned out really cool. What do ya think? "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify their authenticity." - Abraham Lincoln

First attempt at producing this effect. Feedback? These were taken on a tripod with both a polarizing filter and an ND Filter stacked. Shutter Speed of between 3-5 seconds. I used my D7000 with the 24-120mm f4 lens. "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often...

Went on a hike up to Malan's Basin a couple of weeks ago and found this little guy right off the trail. Fortunately it was still cool and he was more occupied digesting his dinner from the night before. "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify...

Got my bull back a couple of weeks ago. Not the best pics but I am pleased. I didn't plan very well as he wouldn't fit where I wanted him (or in the standby location either), but oh well, I guess that's a good problem :-) My wife was mighty generous and let me put hang it in HER sitting room...

Been hitting the Lek frequently this year. Thought I would share some of what I have captured. They sure are fun to watch and shoot! Uploading these from my I-Pad so not sure how the image quality will be. Guess we will find out. :-) "The problem with quotes on Internet...

Ok, so a recent post got me thinking about this and I can't help but to be curious about it. I was very, very bored last night so I perused through the General archives looking for posts that broke the 200 mark and to see what the record was for the most replies. Here is what I found (Replies...

Took these the other day by the house. Caught this as well "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify their authenticity." - Abraham Lincoln

OK, here is the scenario. I am getting ready to go to Hawaii with the family next month. I am also ready to invest in a new lense. I own a Nikon D7000 and I currently own the 18-105mm kit lense, the 50mm 1.8 lense, and the 70-300mm lense. They all do a pretty good job but I am ready for a...

Was able to get out and go for a ride over the Holidays and thought I would share. Hope you enjoy! A few smaller bucks that made it through the hunts: I like this one cause you can see the snow on his antlers Thought this was a pretty cool photo sequence. Sure wish the light...

Well, the season is over and the experiences were awesome to say the least. My Bro-In-Law and my Nephew both drew LE Archery Elk tags for the Dutton this year. They had enough points that we knew they would most likely draw so we all drew Archery Deer tags for the unit as well. I was...

Ok, here is the scoop. I was planning on helping out a friend this year for his Elk tag he drew from the expo. He put in for his first time and was lucky enough to draw the Fish Lake archery tag. I went and got lucky myself and drew the Dutton rifle tag (didn't think I would with only 6...

I have been following the cemetery buck this year watching his antler growth just for curiosity. I have been out every month and still plan on making a couple more trips to compare. Here is what I have so far with some other fun pics mixed in. It's amazing to me how fast these things can grow...

I wnet on a bear hunt with my son a couple of weeks ago and was able to get a cool bear shot. I posted the story and other pics in the General Forum if you are interested. "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify their authenticity." - Abraham Lincoln

I currently shoot a Nikon D7000 and I have a couple of decent lenses (Nikon 18-105MM, Nikon 70-300MM, and the Nikon 50MM)I am looking to get a good quality zoom lense that won't break the bank. I am narrowing in on the 50-500MM lense made by Sigma. It seems to get good reviews and is in a...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-05-12 AT 11:09PM (MST)[p]Here's the backstory: About 5 years ago I wnet on a Bear/Goose combo hunt in Saskatchewan. I had a great time and we killed a ton of geese. I sat in my stand for 3 days before seeing a bear and on the 3rd day (my B-day) I finally got my chance. I...

I got back from my Canada Bear Hunt with son and after filling both bear tags I come home to find I have drawn the Dutton early with just 7 points! I hope it continues to be an expensive taxidermy bill this year and I can't wait to finally hunt LE Elk. My bro in law and my nephew also drew the...

The Sage Grouse have started showing off and I was able to get some pics. Let me know what you guys think. Always looking for good constructive criticism so I can get better. Thanks in advance "The problem with quotes on Internet Forums is that it is often difficult to verify...

First time trying to revive an older white antler with cracks. I used taxidermy 2-part modeling clay to fill in the cracks and then I finished it with WAM (Wild Antler Magic). I ended up doing multiple coats of the WAM to try and darken it up more but I think it turned out pretty nice. I am...

I saw a post a while back from someone that had made a necklace out of his elk ivories. I thought it was pretty cool so I decided to make one of my own. So 2 things: 1) What do you think (you think I would know better than to ask this but I am really curious, both good and bad)? 2) What...

Got this e-mail yesterday from the DWR. I like the idea as a gift but I have to admit this kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Seems like they are pimping fishing licenses to increase revenues. Maybe I am wrong but it just hit a nerve. What do you guys think? I already share my love of fishing...

OK, I know this is going to sound really odd but I work with a gal here in SLC that is having some Coon problems. She needs someone to come and help her with it. She has tried Animal Services, Forrest Service, etc... She did call a private person but they want a lot of money to come and...

Another thread got me too thinking, and yes it hurts :-) I hear people say all of the time that ducks and geese taste like garbage. I have to admit, I have had some that tasted just like mud (Scaup), or even very fishy (Merganzer) but I happen to love the taste of a good puddle duck (Pinny...

My Brother-In-Law and I have hunted together with our boys since they were just little runts. This year was no different and it started with the archery hunt. We were having a hard time getting into the Elk this year so we decided to focus on the Mulies. We found deer right away and we made...

Spent a day in Yellowstone over the 24th of July and came across this dude. I am new to photography and I am using a Nikon D5000. What do you guys think? Any advice or pointers? This one is my favorite! Also came across this little lady, but she wouldn't come out into the light for...

Alright guys, I need your help. I love the sport of archery and so do my kids. We shoot all of the time. I am fortunate enough to have room in my backyard to be able to shoot safely out to 60 yards. I have always understood the importance of having a bow that fits the child so they get the...

OK Guys, I have one of the hand held units and I have used it before a few times and it seemed to work pretty good. I bought a lantern version for my back deck and tried it this last weekend up in Island Park area and I swear it wasn't doing a thing to keep them away. Am I missing something...

A previous post got me to thinking about how many times I have had that "bitter sweet" experience of robin hooding my arrows (un-intentionally of course). I have had it happen 5 times in the 20 years or so that I have been shooting a bow. How about you guys? I have kept all of mine hanging in...

Me and the Fam are headed down to Richfield this weekend to do some wheelin'. When we take the kids we like to do the Fillmore Loop one day and then head over to Koosharem the next. My question: Is this possible yet? Are the trails open to make the entire loop? We like to stop in town and...

So, my boy and I get up early Saturday morning to go and see what the conditions are like for the "Shed Hunting Opener" (actually just the opening of the WMA's here in Utah, but might as well be titled as such), hoping for a chance to get some exercise and maybe find a bone or two. We get to...

We went for a hike last weekend and look what my boy found! He was pretty pumped as this was his first shed. Was last years shed, but it was in very good shape with no cracks and good brown color on the backside. Pretty gnarly base with a good eyeguard. Beautiful day, good exercise and a...

Northern Utah Buck!

Went for a ride last night and came across this guy. Looks like he is busted on his right side but still a nice buck. I love the additional in-line. Enjoy!

Check out this young buck. Ran across him right off the side of the road. Got out to see if I could get him to go over the fence and get off the road and he wouldn't move. Took some pics and then he decided to get up. Thought he might be wounded or that he had been hit but he moved around...

Hey guys, I don't post much on this forum but I do look at your pics quite often. Pretty impressive! This has gotten me interested in taking some pics of my own. Last fall I finally broke down and bought me a Nikon D5000 and this fall I finally bought me a Swarovski ATM HD spotting scope. I...
