hey guys! I haven't been able to post here for the last two years, haha. My wife and I got a show on HGTV and part of our initial contract really limited our digital posting. The show is airing and we are now free to post so here is a video I made last fall. My brother and his wife both drew LE...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-31-13 AT 01:02PM (MST)[p]Figured Halloween was a good time to post this freak. This animal was killed in the 1930's near Kamas on the deer hunt. The hunter thought is was a deer/elk mix. It has a mule deer frame and the mass and brow tines of an elk. This picture is on my desk...

I said best, not biggest, this is actually my smallest buck and first with a centerfire. This is however, the first buck I've taken while my boys and wife were with me. Their excitement made this more fun than any other buck I have ever taken. I seem to kill a deer once every five years or so...

My wife and I were at a family reunion at FL this weekend and decided to rent a little boat for the afternoon and give the fishing a try. She was using a trolling setup with lead core line and I had a spinning setup with six pound test line. The goal was to catch a lake trout. We trolled the...

LAST EDITED ON May-03-13 AT 12:50PM (MST)[p]I am restoring a house in AF, Utah and am thinking about installing an outdoor brick pizza oven out back....Anyone have any experience with these? I might consider doing it myself but would probably go crazy before I got to cook anything. I can't find...

My dad took these pictures in 1988 on a family trip we took to Yellowstone. This was right as the fires were getting going and we were headed out ASAP.... Makes me excited for summer! ------------------------------------------ ----- http://andymansavage.com

Hey guys, I am looking at doing my first Africa trip in 2014. I know that there are many factors that play into the choice of location for a hunt (cost, species, ease of travel, etc), but how much does safety play into it? I'm not talking safety from lions and buffalo, but more like the robbery...

How goes it, MM friendos? I just decided to pop in for a quick check in.....early in the fall I deleted my facebook account, stopped posting on forums, and pretty much disappeared. A couple of friends have recently let me know they were wondering what the heck was going on so I thought I'd post...

Had a good Utah archery opener. We saw 10 or so bucks but only one worth shooting......the video explains it all. okay, so it was 30" gross score.....fun hunt, TONS of small bucks down low, I was after elk primarily so we didn't go up to the timberline where the big deer are. Good luck...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-10-12 AT 09:48AM (MST)[p]In the last two weeks my son had two fishing firsts, first bass and first yellowstone lake cutthroat. He caught both all by himself on his ultralight setup with 4lb test. He's really getting into fishing and it's fun to see...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-12 AT 01:53PM (MST)[p]Just got my dad's Utah bull back from Curtis at Monarch Mountian Taxidermy. The hunt video and pics are on by blog (link below) Curtis is an advertiser here on the site and I'm glad we used him. Live bull; Mount turned out great...

My brother took this video today of the fire near Alpine utah. It just shows how much ground can be eaten up in two hour with conditions like this...please use caution out there this summer. http://youtu.be/P6kuZ7WRlao -----------------------------------------------...

French dudes hunting elk and wolf in kazakhstan...yup, pretty awesome. I spot one Christensen arms rifle in there. ----------------------------------------------- http://andymansavage.blogspot.com/

I found my two-year old in the yard "calling dee" with his improvised call and had to film it.... Think he's watched a few hunting videos with daddy? ----------------------------------------------- http://andymansavage.blogspot.com/

Does anyone have experience with the LE elk hunt disability extension in Utah? We have all of the paperwork for him and getting it approved should be no issue, I was just wondering what they usually do for the extra time... Before the hunt? after? varies? This is for a muzzleloader hunt. It...

Guys, I don't really shed hunt much. I'll pick them up while on other hunts, but a piece of bone on the ground isn't a huge thing to me. I just had a question about trespassing. I know that most guys would NEVER shoot a buck or bull on private property, but many don't have issues with hopping...

I had my 2011 archery buck euro in a booth at the expo this year and decided to run it over to the nice couple in the B&C booth to get it scored just for kicks. It is in velvet, so the forks are measured from the web, not the actual fork. I have the official P&Y score sheet for the velvet...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-28-11 AT 02:31PM (MST)[p]Here is the bull my buddy Luke shot on the manti late hunt this year. I went along for 3 days and that late hunt is a killer. Not sure I would do that again, especially with the weather we had. Oh well, one more adventure. I put the story with more...

I just picked up my 2011 archery euro mount from Skull Designs aka EurosbyRT here on MM. He does a great job with his beetles and did my elk last year as well. He turned out pretty sweet. I love how all the nasal bones are preserved. -----------------------------------------------...

Here is what bess has been up to...... http://sendables.jibjab.com/view/fXAbwuE5DFskZzpx been a few years since I posted this, thanks for the reminder VJ...haha ----------------------------------------------- http://andymansavage.blogspot.com/

Guys, I may need to take this video down. I called and filmed this bull and my dad shot it last month. I'm just not sure it is the kind of thing that we should let out in the open. The bull was not perfectly broadside and was actually slowly walking at the time of the shot. The shot was pretty...

My sister in law killed her first big game animal on the Utah ML hunt a couple weeks ago. My dad had an elk tag and so we spent most of our time focusing on that. We did see a ton of does during the week, but VERY FEW bucks. My dad killed his bull on saturday, so sunday morning we went out on...

......that a 348 grain powerbelt aerotip pushed by 90gr BH209 makes when it hits a bull's shoulder at 75 yards? Glad you asked, here's the answer; My dad dew a LE elk tag and had a muzzy that he wanted to use. It was a never-fired Knight wolverine .54 with the stainless Green Mtn barrel. We...

We got back last night from 6 days hard hunting in some unit in southern Utah. My dad killed this bull Saturday Morning. I will write up the story for my HAC thread, but it was an awesome week. My Brother's wife also killed her first animal on the trip, with an open sight smokepole to boot...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-11 AT 01:58PM (MST)[p]Hey guys, I finally took the plunge this year and got into archery hunting for real. I have added pics, story, and video from my hunt to my HAC thread and thought I'd share with the bow guys. I learned a lot by browsing and searching this forum. Thanks...

Thanks for the comments on the picture I posted, sorry to start another thread but I really wanted to share this video and the moment of excitement when walking up on a downed animal that we all love. I will write up the story for my HAC thread but we hiked straight up for 2 hours, made a 65...

Here is the buck I shot this morning, my first archery animal ever! ----------------------------------------------- http://andymansavage.blogspot.com/

My brother walked up on this set last weekend while looking for deer. They were buried a foot apart and when he saw the tines he thought it was all one small elk shed. Nature has run it's course, but it would have been a nice set if it were fresh. And this was in an area that I know gets POUNDED...

Well, since I enjoy reading everyone else's posts here I might as well try to contribute something myself. A short history on my big game hunting experience; I like muzzleloaders. I have owned a bunch and have only killed animals with blackpowder rifles, never a centerfire or bow. I have missed...

This is a deer that lives down the street from me. Looks like a young buck with good potential. He should be real nice in a few years. Gives a good snapshot of antler growth for this year, video was taken this week in Central Utah, it looks like he has a little growth left on his G3s....No...

a friend and I both had to see clients in vernal Friday and decided to hit pelican before heading home. My little brother also joined us. We launched on the dirt ramp around two thirty pm and were into fish immediately. We primarily slow rolled spinnenrbaits out on the weed line, now fifty yards...

Do you guys think that the first bull in this video from 2009 is the bull that I killed last fall? I am 90% sure that it is, as the footage was taken 1/2 mile from where I killed my bull and the antler configuration is pretty much the same. He was aged at 8 years old. A friend just saw this...

Headed there for a few days next week for work, anything I should go see? Good place to take a client for some grub? I have never been to the upper midwest before, too bad it had to be in March... ----------------------------------------------- http://andymansavage.blogspot.com/

I usually just delete stupid anti hunting comments on youtube, but decided to respond to this toolbag.....sad that this is the attitude of so many... I gettoo mad if I get into it with them so I will probably just disable comments.... -----------------------------------------------...

...a brand new sense of pride and accomplishment....and I'll buy you lunch if you work in Salt Lake or Utah county..... I took my Utah muzzy bull to the expo and had it scored at the B&C booth. Let me say first; I don't care much for scores but thought it would be cool to put him in longhunter...

LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-11 AT 10:09PM (MST)[p]My bull from last fall is almost ready! I am having the euro done by Skull Designs (eurosbyRT). He uses beetles and his work is awesome. I am putting him on this base made by Elkster here on the forums with a deer I shot in 2001. My first buck and my...
