Dan any update on the suppressors?

Here’s a few trips I’ve done recently. My first bobcat to the call, my first fox to the call and most recently a solo trip where I stacked 9 dogs in the bed of the truck. Great way to pass the time before otc archery rolls around

I usually make a few trips a year but recently I’ve gotten into it a lot more. It’s addicting when it all goes right.

Thank you I appreciate that!

That’s a lucky duck revolt I purchased off the classifieds here a few years back. That day all the rabbit distress was working for me. All of them came in under 8 minutes and most of which were under 2-3 minutes. Everything seemed to just go right

Buddy of mine takes some to skin out, I personally don’t I just do it for population management in the areas I like to deer hunt.

Hurt my shoulder from all the shooting and dragging more I’m sure.

After a 3 year Hiatus of not drawing general hunts I typically would draw almost every year, I finally got to chase desert bucks with my rifle again. I drew a unit I have only stepped foot into a few times; and never personally hunted for myself, so I knew it would be a challenge trying to pick apart areas to focus my time on. I had help from some buddies who knew the unit but the dry conditions proved to be challenging, where a lot of young bucks would show themselves in the first few days along with dozens of predators. After day 2 I was given some info/tips and with a game plan in mind, I made the drive into some new country. Right before day light of day 3, I spotted this buck bedded down a few hundred yards away. I had my partner keep eyes on him while I scanned the rest of the what we could see from the glassing point quickly and to wait for the sun to pop out to get a better look. After waiting a bit,I decided he was good enough to wrap my tag around and laid down at 384 yards to take my shot. First shot was a touch high on him and he jumped up confused/hurt and I quickly chambered another round and he had moved about 10 yards from his bed before the second shot connected and put him down. It was a quick morning but I am extremely happy with him and how it all played out. Venturing into new country is always an adventure in itself but having a good network of friends willing to help out, ultimately made me successful and for that I am forever grateful. Best of luck to everyone the rest of the year!

Couldn’t have said it any better. It is hot and dry out there. I barely seen any activity during daylight hours. Right at day break if you got lucky and right as it was getting dark. Made for some tough hunting.

It is tough but it’s something I enjoy a lot. Thank you!

Looking to sell this sight. It works great no issues at all, just don’t use it like I thought I would. Comes with original box. $850

TTT I’m open to reasonable offers

I drew a deer tag yesterday, just waiting for my 5th choice sheep to hit my account…definitely something up. I kind of figured when I drew my elk tag this year at 430 in the afternoon (which has never happened on any of my tags) that we would be in for some sort of fiasco this draw cycle.

I’d say about 90% of the mature mule deer I’ve harvested or helped harvest in a general hunt desert unit have been in the flats. With the other 10% being in smaller rolling hills type country. I usually hunt them where they are whenever I scout them… there’s times I never see them again, and times they don’t move far at all from certain areas. Mule deer in the desert are very hit and miss from what I see. And just when you think you have them figured out they could be miles away the next minute. I’d start in the flats and work my way up personally. The week leading up to your hunt will probably be the most important scouting time and hopefully no hunts before yours to stir things up before you can get out there. Best of luck!

2001 and 36a for myself. It was a forky and I was instantly hooked on mule deer. The following year same tag I bagged my first 4 point and that’s when the obsession of trying to shoot the most mature buck I can find kicked in. Remember it just like it was yesterday. Great topic and awesome pics. Nothing beats the older photos in my eyes

North butte, South Butte, and picket post.

I missed a 175”+ buck yesterday. Snuck into 60 yards of him and all his does bedded. Something spooked them and they ran closer to me. I had ranged a few things previously and when he stepped out I shot for 40. He was 36 and my arrow went just over his back. I dragged my feet and bow all the way back to the glassing knob.
