I guess the old cartoon trick of sticking your finger in the barrel really works! haha, thats wicked right there! DAN

Congratulations once again on your wonderful buck Travis!!! we tapped out his buck really quick with a metal tape so i suggested to him he have it measured again soon because it's going to top 125" inches, but of course Travis being the true "humble hunter" he is was more happy about being able to get out there, do the work and get any kind of reward for it, good job buddy and can't wait to see the field pics of your MONSTER COUES!!!! one sweet looking buck for sure! DAN

here's a couple of "find the shed" pics, winner gets 1 under the table San Carlos Elk tag! haha...jokes, something to pass the time, anyone else got any "find the shed" pics to share? if you find the sheds just say you did and let everyone get a chance to check it out at least, i don't think they're that hard so yup yup...lets see those pics! DAN

finally got back to posting up pics of them sheds and where they were, found these 2 on my lunch break, went for a lil' nature walk in the trees just off the road there, spotted the first one out pretty easy, tried and tried to find the match but only found another shed haha, not the same buck though, still pretty good for a lunchtime stroll, hopefully will have more "find the shed" pics coming soon! DAN

WOW! i thought that they wouldn't be too tough, hmm, but probably the pic quality isn't best, anyways i think a day has been long enough, if you spot them then let's check them out!!! DAN

wuts up everyone, dang some nice looking skulls and sheds lately, cool, thought i'd share a little elk shed and a coues skull i came across yesterday during a Frog Survey in the Bear Wallow area on the SC rez, did a pretty good hike down into the creek and all the way up it to the eastern boundary fence, was nice to be out there looking around for something thats not there haha, no frogs around, surprisingly enough we found no Crayfish as well in Bear Wallow Creek, i guess thats a good thing though, well here's some pics... Eastern rez boundary. 5pt elk shed. 3x3 coues skull. front view. other side. pointing back to my house. just hanging out. DAN

sweet looking rack! i like his eagle claw looking points at the bases! *do the chickens have large talons?* haha DAN

now that a wide one right there! way to go. DAN

nice buck, congrats to the hunter. DAN

here's one from the SC rez, nice lil' guy with some stickers, thought i'd post some pics to scope out while everyone was doing their whatever haha, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! dress up as a coues deer! haha. DAN

Nice job on a young buck "young buck"! especially with the old man too, cool, classic spot and stalk story you got there, they'll only get bigger for you from here buddy! DAN

there's a couple of nice heads right there, gotta love that MASS!! thanks for sharing. DAN

i still kinda think that is the same bull i took pictures of earlier this year at the hunting expo out in Harrisburg PA, the guy said they were sheds from SASK, home grown bull, said they scored 518, man that rack was very very massive and some long tines on him, was a freak for sure, but anyway looks very similiar to the pics, sorry the pics are so blurry, $4 camera haha. DAN

here's part 2 of our trip, i posted too many pics in one post i guess so have to break them up in half.... DAN

just thought i'd post something for everyone cruising through all the topics like i am, hope to get out tomorrow and do some scouting for deer and get some nice pics, good luck to everyone out there! DAN

here's some pics i've collected over the last few days out in the field from work, see lots of stuff all over all the time, never think to share some of it with everyone, especially those who don't get out every single day, so here's a few for everyone... DAN

here's a little something for the Elk hunters out there and for everyone else too of course, my uncle snapped these shots last year around this time while scouting for bear, couple of nice bulls, picture quality isn't so great since he was taking pics from quite a ways off, enjoy.... DAN

good job on the sheds at night! actually my first coues i ever killed was right at dark on the last day and on the way back to the truck we came across 3 coues sheds like the one you have in your pic, we used a flashlight to make it back and along the way there they were 3 times. DAN

nice looking picture you got there Josh! this is the only Triplets i've ever seen... DAN

hey everyone, well i see the forums are back up again, me and my crew finally got a chance to hit up the hills over the weekend so we decided to try an area we scored good on last year, came across a couple of bears too, nothing big but was cool to see them running around out there with us, we ended up with 4 sets and 3 singles altogether, hope everyone's scouting trips are going good and hope to see plenty of nice bucks again this year in the coues contest, enjoy!!!.........for the rest of the trip look to the part 2 post. DAN

Thought i'd post up a few sunset pictures i took not too long ago, i know somebody else has some nice pictures to show the rest of us, doesn't have to be sunsets specifically but some nice scenery would be cool to see. Apache Peaks after shed hunting San Carlos Lake chollas and a magaashii DAN

getting closer and closer to everyone's seasons, hopefully we all bag some big ones and share the stories and photos.....here's a few more pics to pass the time, elk sheds had some really nice main beams and pretty even all the way, coues skull was nice and tall with some sweet kickers....not the best background for the skull though, sorry bout that.......ignore the date, it's wrong... DAN

just thought i'd post a few pics of some of the action going on here on the rez, nice and green all over the place, some big big bull elk running around but no luck on any close pictures, should be a pretty good season all the way around.....enjoy... DAN

well yea the rainfalls hit us pretty hard these last couple of months and now its nice and green up in the hills all over, the rains came a little late and will probably have little effect on antler growth, but we're all crossing our fingers, some places have been green for a bit so i suppose in those areas the antler growth will be better......them antleope were pretty close, the one out on the prairie is out about 50yrds or so and the one by the fence is well, by the fence right off the highway, our antelope here on the rez are pretty tame and are definately not camera shy, hope to keep snapping more pictures. here's a couple of shots of the green stuff up in the hills right now, first one is up on Bee Flat, some antelope in the slash there you can barely see them, man the buck was a killer and i wish i had gotten a good shot of him because his horns were very very tall! second pic is down on Ash flat below Nantac, ignore the date its wrong. DAN

just a little something to keep the summer rolling by until all the hunting starts up again, never got a chance to hit the hills hard for racks this year, there's still plenty of time to head out and rack up though... check out this guy had lazy fronts....haha. here's one we left across the canyon... ......... never spotted the other side, probably behind the bushes close by though. close up close up DAN
