Congratulations are in order for sure to your son. That is a great looking buck and you did him juctice. Great job! Can't wait to see how your elk turns out. TJ

Keith, everything you mentioned and then some. TJ

I thought I had replied on this one but missed it. My congratulations to Garrett on a beauty. Glad you had a chance to be on his hunt Robert. Garrett has turned in to a real serious hunter for sure. Can't wait to see what his next trophy will be. TJ

Looks like a good late morning hunt to me. Thanks for posting. TJ

I just wanted to share a few hunts I was fortunate enough to be part of this past couple months. Fist one was Keith's, aka kidso, wife's cow hunt. He already posted his hunt but I wanted to share a little more. I called Keith and ask if I could be of any help. Boy was happy when he said I could tag along. I had lots of vacation just burning a hole in my pocket and I told Keith I would set camp up a couple days early only to find someone beat me to his spot. The hunters in his spot were going to put up a tree stand where Keith had a blind already in place. After talking with them they assured me they would look elsewhere. Since Keith already posted the story I won't repeat but thought it was worth sharing again the generosity Keith and Renata showed by leaving their blind in place for the hunter who was already camped there. Not only did Renata killed her first ever big game so did the lady in that camp and both from Keith's blind. Awesome! Here are a few more pics from Renata's hunt. Renata showed exceptional experience lacking of most beginners. Good mentoring Keith. One of my favorite pics I now have a pair of those blue camo, NOT! Keith and Renata wasn't leaving any meat for the critters I have no pictures from my wt hunt in 24B since I missed broadside at 200yrds opening morning. I did have a great time with friends on this hunt. We all went home empty handed. Now it's Nov and my long time friend, Mark Hullinger, drew a buffalo hunt after 35 yrs of putting in. This will be the beginning of my 3 weeks vacation since it is going to run in to my archery 22N bull tag. My truck breaks down on wedn. just as I was leaving town. After 4 hrs of not fixing it I call a garage and they can't get to it for a couple days I tell them I need to get out of town by tomorrow for my buddy's buffalo hunt. The guy I was talking to told me he had drawn a spring buffalo hunt and he would get me on the road first thing in the morning. I pick up my truck and pull in to my elk camp by dark and set the alarm for 2:30 am so I can meet Mark at Raymond ranch by daylight. It all went well and here are a few pictures to share. 35 yrs of waiting It was a real pleasure to share this hunt with Mark Mark's future son-in-law, Jim, was greatly appreciated with lending a hand The quad trailer was a blessing for sure This is the same place I hung mind back in 1977. Thanks to azgfd for the use of the skinning barn. Thanks for letting me be part of your hunt. TJ

It's not hard to believe this site has grown leaps and bounds as it has do to the outstanding work Amanda has put towards it and all the great people who make it happen as well. I haven't spent the time looking as I usually do so I thought I would sit down this morning and get caught up on all the stories and start congratulating all the successful hunters. WOW! I just realized I would be here the rest of the year trying to do that and I wouldn't want to miss anyone even though I would rather personally congrats each of you. CONGRATULATIONS to each and everyone of you, especially the youth hunters, and thanks for posting all your stories and pictures. I look forward to reading and viewing all that I can. This is what makes this site the best. TJ

There's no doubt there was a flood of emotions flowing all over that day. Great story and all the pics are awesome. Thanks for sharing and congratulations to your son. TJ

Congratulations again Jered on your first bull. Thanks for all the kind words. My brother-in-law, nephew, and I were so happy that you took an elk off that water hole and believe me when I say it was our pleasure to have helped and met you and your dad. TJ

Congratulations on a beauty. TJ

Howdy Justin, that was a great read and please give my congratulations to Colleen. That's also an awesome picture of the two of you. Congrats also to Erika on her second buck. Looking forward to hearing about your next hunt with Ashly. Good luck. TJ

It really turned out great Tony. TJ

Holy smokes Stephen, I never thought of you as a neat and organized guy. jk Oh wait, it's your wife and sister-in-law's idea. What an awesome idea. I never no where my stuff is and it takes forever to find anything around here. By the time I find it all I have forgotten what it was I found first. This is exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing. TJ

I started my day packing and figured I would be in elk camp by 2pm with camp set up. I would cut wood tomorrow and then get a good night sleep before heading to Raymond Ranch on Friday morning to assist my good buddy on his buffalo hunt but here I sit frustrated as He!! My power steering line sprang a leak and I tried for 4 hrs to get the dang thing off. I finally called a shop and they said to drop it off in the morning. I told them I needed it and was heading for a buffalo hunt. It just so happens the guy I was talking to said his credit card was just hit for buffalo on the same ranch and said they would put me ahead of everyone tomorrow. I'm hoping tomorrow is a much better day. TJ

Just wanted to give a big thank you to my wife for all she does. Those who know her would agree. Well, maybe! Happy Birthday! TJ

Holy cow! I'm heading your way. Can't wait to taste it. If I only lived closer. That sure looks good. Let us know how it turns out. TJ

That was awesome. Elk having fun during the off season. Thanks for sharing. TJ

Happy Birthday Pixman. Hope this was a great day of doing what you wanted to. We all enjoy your pictures and thanks for that. HAPPY BIRTHDAY again! TJ

Your work is some of the finest I've seen and thank you for sharing these great trophies with us. Hopefully I'll bring you a trophy of my own again soon. TJ

There's no way I would have passed up that buck. It's a beauty and my congratulations on getting it done. Thanks for sharing. TJ
