Hopefully less tags will be sold and a larger number of older bucks will come into the picture so I can get thier sheds I doubt this will be the last time the fee goes up.

OH man sounded like you had a hell of a time. In the first picture I thought that stick propping the antler was a big ole' dropper! Good looking buck.

I bet this means there will be some better bucks next year If only 1/8 th of the normal amount of bucks were killed. Oh man cant wait for the winter range. Its usually easier to find bucks in hot weather in qaukie patches that have a spring in them. Thats always the first place I would look when...
I know this may sound stupid, but I dont wear safety belts while hunting from a lock on stand, lander stand or climber. I had a bad experience while bowhunting. The strap got in the way of me taking a 160 class whitetail. After that I have never used them.

Full choke i would say a max of 65 yards. I have killed many whitetail with a shotgun. 00 Buckshot is some really lethal stuff. I would never in my life think that a bunch of big round balls would drop every deer i ever shot at with them.

I bet that was cool. However, that is how people get attacked by black bears and the bears end up having to be put down ect. At my ranch in wyoming i came from around one of our sheds and there was a bear, not 10 steps away. I'd say 20 feet. It stood up on it hind legs and after a three or four...

Oh and my favorite. Check out this freak mule deer on the winter range. I had to pencil in the edges of the picture to get it to scan, its barely noticable...
Ok the title makes him sound a little bigger than what he is, but it is still a very big buck. LOOK at the palmation on this sucker.

Yeah it was a younger bear. And no he didnt hit the road, at first he seemed really interested in me and a buddy then after many times of standing up ,sniffing, and making a circle he headed down in the trees really slowly always keeping an eye on us. Normally when i see a bear it halls tail. We...
Here is a bear i took a picture of. I saw him while trying to close the distance of about 800 yards to get to a buck that looked to be a decent deer. Well i both stalks turned out to get me withing 25 yards of both animals.
Bear...
Not a giant but I'm sure 99 percent of you would pop him. As far as i know he is still living. Wish i would have found the sheds. Maybe this picture will help get you going for hunting this weekend or whenever you deer hunt starts...
A bipod wont get you a big buck. It might make your shot a lot more accurate so you dont miss a big buck. I use a harris bipod and love it. I know i couldnt have pulled off a few shots i have made without it.

Here are a few pictures i have taken on the winter range and the summer range.
