I do! I knew what he was when I pulled the trigger. My goal on this hunt was a 4 1/2 year old buck, and I think he is.

Hi guys. I decided to burn my 9 deer points this year on Unit 63 3rd rifle. The decision was based on the later date and that this year’s hunt will coincide with my available vacation time. The dates for the next couple of years wouldn’t work. I plan on arriving 3 days before the hunt from...

My son was able to take his first deer at a friend's farm this year on the youth hunt. He made a perfect heart shot at 100 yds with my 6mm-223. I'm one proud daddy! I was fortunate to take a nice buck on my 9th and last day to hunt right at the end of shooting hours. I was hunting heavily...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-20-17 AT 10:54AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Jul-20-17 AT 10:54?AM (MST) Hi guys, I've decided to hunt Idaho for the first time this year. I've hunted CO, WY, MT and UT successfully without a guide so I'm not looking for a honey hole, just a general region or unit. My main focus...

Photobucket finally works! Here is the story of my 2016 Wasatch Late Bull. After 13 years of applying I finally drew a limited entry bull tag for the Utah Wasatch late hunt. I had planned on diy and had offers of assistance from members of utahwildlife.net and monstermuleys. As the hunt neared...

I'm a nonresident who has been applying for 12 years for elk and desert sheep. I've bought 3 general buck deer points over the years, figuring I'll hunt for deer again in the general season one of these years. Is there any advantage to purchasing another point each year until I'm ready to apply...

Killed this buck on heavily hunted public land in south central Missouri. Not my largest buck overall but my largest buck taken on public land in 31 years of hunting Missouri. 17 1/2" spread. NRA Life Member www.swanspointoutfitters.com The critters have to win every time. I only have to win...

After failing to draw a Utah elk tag with 11 points I decided to hunt Montana on a left over tag. I was fortunate to take this buck at 250 yards after spotting the group of deer he was with from a mile away. I was hunting public land in the Fort Peck area. I also took an antelope doe on public...

Finally got my 2013 rifle season buck back from the taxidermist a couple of weeks ago. North Missouri buck. 144" without about 4" of missing brow tine. NRA Life Member www.swanspointoutfitters.com The critters have to win every time. I only have to win once.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-14 AT 06:13AM (MST)[p]After not drawing any NR Utah tags this year I decided to hunt antelope in Wyoming on left over tags. There were only a couple of units with tags available, all of which were listed as difficult access. I looked at 17, 22 and 23 and decided to go with...

I killed my first black bear last fall with www.swanspointoutfitters.com and returned this spring for more. Boy am I glad I did! I killed a nice 5 1/2 ft boar the first day of the hunt. On the fifth day of the hunt I killed this amazing 6 foot blonde bear after a game of cat and mouse with him...

I've rifle hunted Colorado unit 62 for bulls twice and cows several times. In 2007 I took my first and only bull with a 320 yard shot from my 338 Ultramag. Even with a shattered shoulder he got back up so I put in another insurance round which put him down. We didn't feel like trying to track a...

I've hunted mule deer twice with a bow and once with black powder in CO and UT and scored on two small bucks and a doe. I've only rifle hunted once in CO unit 62 in 2009 and took this nice 4x3. Not quite a wall hanger but he has nice tine length and a good sized body. I'm building up points in...

I've been deer hunting for 30 years and got my best buck ever this year in the farm country of northeast Missouri, a 5 hour drive from home. He is a 9 point eastern count. His left G2 matches the right G2 but is hidden behind the G3 in the picture. Even with a broker right brow tine he scored...

I went on my first black bear hunt in the spring of 1988 in Ontario and went again September of last year with a different outfitter in Ontario. Long story short, a total of 13 days sitting over bait resulted in seeing a grand total of one small bear. I've seen quite a few bears over the years...

USUCCESSFUL USUCCESSFUL USUCCESSFUL USUCCESSFUL USUCCESSFUL They do like to rub it in, don't they? Oh well, 10 points for LE elk and 9 points for desert sheep. Was really hoping I would draw a nanny tag and really thought I would draw a bear tag earlier this year but I guess they showed me...

I put in for a La Sal spring bear NR tag. No guarantee that I'll draw it but if I do I'll hopefully kill my first bear. I've struck out twice so far in Ontario, seeing only one small bear on two hunts with different outfitters. I've seen multiple bears while hunting elk and deer in Colorado but...

I hunted Fishlake NF in the Mt. Hilgard area for three years back about 10 years ago for archery deer. I saw some decent bulls including one big boy probably 340+ at 10 yards, that was a thrill. I'm considering putting in for the muzzleloader LE elk season. I've got 9 NR points and know it...

I've never killed a bear, although I've seen several while hunting in Colorado and Utah. Just never had a tag in my pocket. I hunted Ontario once before for bear in the spring of 1988. Hunted over bait with a supposedly reputable outfitter and never even saw a bear although the baits were hit...
