Hey everyone, I just thought you might like to know that the new book, "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer, 2nd Edition" is out. It's an incredible book that took 21 years of research to finish. It's a whopping 704 pages, with over 900 deer in it, all in FULL COLOR, with very well documented history on...

Anyone got any good ideas for spots to check out for the last week (Oct. 17-21) of the season for bulls? Missed the first few days due to other commitments, and after the big storm hit, it seems like a bit of a crap shoot suddenly. Feel free to PM if you have any ideas you might be willing to...

Just took my goat to the taxidermist. I'd love to see about a thousand photos of cool mountain goat mounts to get some ideas of what I'd like to do with him. Post 'em if you got 'em! Thanks. BTW, I tentatively caped him for a lifesize.

Just wanted to let all you whitetail buffs out there know that the new hardcover book, "Idaho's Greatest Whitetails" is out and available here on the MonsterMuleys store. Over 350 pages of great stories and history, nearly 500 photos, and printed in all full color. I hope you'll like it! Ryan...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-10-07 AT 04:56PM (MST)[p]Just spent a weekend scouting and learning HD 320 with my wife (who has the permit). We weren't expecting her to draw the tag, were just putting her in for points more than anything (she is 8-1/2 months pregnant). And of course, guess who drew - go...

I figure it's better to scout out a taxidermist BEFORE you get an animal than to rush around and figure it out with the cape in the back of your truck. Now, leaving out your favorite cousin that mounted a couple of bucks in high school, it'd be nice to see some serious opinions on who the best...

Question for you, and if possible, try to keep your answers short and to the point. Gross on a non-typical is easy. It's just no symmetry deductions. On typicals, it gets muddier. Is it just the typical frame without any symmetry deductions, or is it the gross typ. frame AND the abnormal...

Hello everybody - Hope you all did better in the draws than I did. I just wanted to let you know that "Idaho's Greatest Elk", the 2nd book in my series (following "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer) is almost done and will hopefully be ready within about two months. If you have any good old-time...

Tony, I sent you a private message.

For those that are interested, I am continuing work on the series of books I am writing about Idaho's hunting history. The first was Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer. Currently, Idaho's Greatest Elk is in "production." If you have any photos of any big deer or elk taken in Idaho or any good...

Anybody out there interested in a complete set of Bugle Magazines? I am looking to get rid of them, and have all of them, clear from the very first one (in great condition).

What a roller coaster season. I missed two bulls, including a 6-point, before realizing my scope was off. As I missed the 6, my buddy nailed a real nice 5. Another friend brought in his horses and we lost his dog. Spent the next two days looking for the dog instead of elk hunting. When this...

Yeah, dumb post, but let's hear it anyway. What do you think the most impressive muley is and why. Non-typical: I think I would have to vote for the "Mundy" Buck. The score is only 288 and change (yeah, only!) but it has the widest spread ever officially recorded (49-2/8"), as well as what...

Dean Ruth, of Seeley lake was sentenced to 20 YEARS in prison (15 suspended, $19,000 in restitution, and never allowed to hunt or accompany anyone on a hunt for the rest of his life. The story: The jury box was filled with antlers of the animals Dean and Renita Ruth were guilty of illegally...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-13-04 AT 12:36PM (MST)[p]This buck was taken supposedly in Power County, Idaho many years ago. He is also in my book "Idaho's Greatest Mule Deer". It was just recently scored at about 238 (no G-3 on right). He only has about 52" in droptines. This buck is one of my...

This photo was taken in 1927 in Idaho. The guy in the goofy hat on the left is my great-great grandfather. Probably hard for some guys to believe you don't need camo to kill deer. Think hunting clothes have changed just a bit?

At first glance, this buck doesn't look like it should score 281-3/8, but with all those eyeguards, it adds up quick. He has 41 scoreable points (19x22), and 6" bases. This buck was bought by an antler buyer that lived in western Idaho, and looks to me like an Idaho County buck, although it...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-08-04 AT 09:02AM (MST)[p]This buck to me is one of the most fantastic I have ever seen. It also goes to show why people that say they have seen a buck 30" tall usually are full of hooey. This buck is 26" tall with one G-2 that exceeds 24". They are some of the longest ever...

I began collecting points in Oregon a few years ago. Now I have seven for deer and elk (6 for antelope). I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do with them. Remember I am a non-resident. Is it time to cash them in on an average but decent hunt or keep going and wait for the cream of...

Okay, thirty incher's pictures inspired me to share a few that I have. Thank you Larry very much for the detailed instructions on how to do the picture posting. I thought it might be nice to see a few of the most outstanding bucks many of us will ever see. These all are in my book "Idaho's...

Would just like to thank all of you that have helped support the book and had such nice things to say. It has been a really positive experience. You are all a pretty good group. Well, most of you anyway :) Ryan

LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-04 AT 10:45AM (MST)[p]I figured this would get more reads here than anywhere, so I hope it doesn't get moved. Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinal defensive back that gave up a $9 million dollar contract and a life's dream to become an Army Ranger after the Sept.11 attacks...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-02-04 AT 11:29PM (MST)[p]Hello, This is Ryan Hatfield (Idahonative to all you muley lovers). I have been on this site almost since its inception and have seen many things come and go, most of them pretty entertaining (Buckspy, DeerKing, Moosie come to mind. Even Cass on...
