    2025 WY Sheep Hunt

    Congrats on the ram! But holy crap dude, do you know what the cape on mature ram is worth? Can't believe you just whacked his head off!

    PERMIT NO. 023

    Nothing like hunting at home where you'll spend a weekend wading through hundreds of bucks. I might have seen 20-25 bucks total, one other buck that was in the same galaxy.

    PERMIT NO. 023

    Disbelief is really the only way to describe how this hunt unfolded. I have dreamt about hunting pronghorn in Canada for as long as I can remember and honestly never thought it was possible. I have always had a vision of what a big Canadian pronghorn looks like, and this buck was absolutely...

    PERMIT NO. 023

    I returned to the area I had seen the big buck the night before the season opened, hoping to re-locate them and make a plan for opening morning. Of course, after several hours of looking I was unable to find them. Finally, on a hunch, I picked up and drove to a distant vantage to look out onto...

    PERMIT NO. 023

    I spent the next several days traveling the unit and looking at other bucks, but nothing came close to the first buck. I pretty quickly came to the conclusion that this was the buck I would be after, and based on what else I had seen in the unit, I probably wouldn't be alone.

    PERMIT NO. 023

    I have no idea the significance of having permit no. 23, other than it means I didn't have nearly the bonus points and I wasn't in the first pass. In fact, I really had no business drawing this tag. It takes a NR 29 points to be guaranteed a tag in this unit, I had 3. Hunting pronghorn in...

    How big is this bear?

    I'm looking at the face profile, especially pics 4 & 5. Looks like a large sow to me. Big, pretty bear for sure!

    How many 80" bucks do you think hunters just pass on by?

    Easily the hardest animal to score on the hoof. I have been fooled many times in both directions.

    What kind of action is this?

    This might be a stupid question, but I wonder if someone can tell me what kind of action this is? I should know way more about this gun than I do. It's a custom 257 Bob my dad had made for me many years ago. I think it is a Springfield action but that is about all I know. I would really like...

    Mule Deer Buck of a Lifetime

    I have been blessed to live in some pretty epic mule deer cycles and I've been fortunate to have a few cool places to hunt them. I have three bucks in the 190s, another six in the 180s. Could never break that 200" glass ceiling though.
