Default Pics From the Season

Started off with a unsuccessful sheep hunt. Saw lots of critters but no legal rams.







Archery Mulie hunt. Caught this guy napping in a coulee. Shot him at 53 yards, after missing a bigger buck at a closer range a few days before.





Went on a late sept Elk hunt. Our buddy Special K, even though he has never shot a buck. Has been picky over the last couple years. When we spotted this deer, I said there is your buck. He made a great stock on a feild loaded with deer and put two Nosler Partitions out of his 06' into his first buck. I did a green gross of 176''





Seemed like I was one of the few that had a tough november, passed up multiple 150''s and ended up eating my general WT tag.

Rattled in and shot this heavy 4 with my TC 20 gauge. Just under 7'' H3 measurement.






Went to washington for a Blacktail archery hunt in the rut. Very interesting and elusive deer. Passed up a few spikes and fork horns. Passed this buck up the first day, that another client killed.

Potty- That was a buck I passed up opening day, he was dogging a few does well with in bow range of me for the last hour of light. He was piebald on his back end, just not what I was looking for first day on a seven day bowhunt. He was killed by another client that is going to mount him full body.

Ram crazy- I went with a buddy...

Hornaholic- The droptine buck is still alive, getting pics every second night of him.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
