Cabelas has .22LR bulk for .05 cents per round tight now. Pretty good deal.

That's an awesome tradition your family has been able to keep up. Its very difficult to do in today's world. Congrats on some great animals. I imagine the memories are gonna last a lifetime.

They do know how to manage their game. That's for sure.

The number of tags in the white mountains has increased. Look at 27 this year.... They added 100 bull tags to the late hunt, which was already high at 400. The quality of bulls being taken in the near years to come is going to go downward. The number of animals reaching maturity are simply going to decline. Plain and simple. Look at the 22 units as an example....

.22 sold out quick.

Awesome! Congrats to your son.

I setup a camera one time way the crap back in some country in a saddle on a ridgeline. Never thought for a second anyone would mess with it..... About three miles in. My luck it ended up being the one ridge line illegals were using to bring dope in. They stole my SD card and left the camera. We caught them on another camera that was lock boxed and they couldn't get into. I was pissed..... There was good sign on that camera and never saw what was there.

I agree with the above. Pay lots of money to an outfitter, sit at home and let them do the work for you. Pay enough money and you can kill record class animals every year. Heck, pay enough and you can get a posse picture with 15-20 guys that were glassing the hill for you as you slept, had your gun put on "the claw" and all you had to do is pull the trigger. Yep. That's how to find them big bucks and bulls. $$$$$$$$$$

Man that first bear would make a gorgeous rug!

Great looking buck. My favorite picture is the third one..... Great smile! Congrats on a great buck!

Congrats on a good first buck!

Congrats. Great seeing you get that opportunity with your family like that.

This is what's gone wrong in the guiding bis today. There are so many guides out there grabbing their wifes sisters brothers buck from a long lost cousin who knew uncle larry's uncle who used to drink beer every once in awhile with cousin bob. It's not right and shouldn't be done. Post it if you guided for it , don't post it if you didn't, pretty simple and used to be the norm but not anymore. Nothing personal against shane here, just the new normal of outfitters in general posting other people's animals when they had nothing at all to do with it. i heard the buck was scored at 291 yesterday by a legitimate official scorer. biggest buck of the year and it didnt come from the strip, and didnt involve 500 trail cams. I would bow at the guys feet for pulling this off in the desert. Huge congrats to the hunter who was unguided also.I don't know about bowing at his feet, but, if he didn't pay someone to find it for him and someone didn't walk him to the deer to shoot it, I think that's awesome. Seeing guys get it done without a big name outfitter is awesome. I love it. DIY. Doesnt get any better.

I wish they'd start already!

In just a little bit of snow, I have used snake gaiters to keep my legs dry from knee down. Seems to help from water seeping through the top end of your boots.

Sweet buck! Must be some good genes in that country.

Its cool to see you pattern that buck like that even though it didnt work out. There will be more that happen that way and most of us here have missed bruisers before. Anyways, it goes to show what hard work and time in the hills can do for you and know what to expect. Even better that it was a DIY hunt.... Congrats on the bucks.

PM me if you have one for sale and what amount you want to sell it for.

Might be interested if someone has one. But I have used the swarovski adaptor for years and never really had any issues with it. Just need another one for both pairs....

If a guy can hang in there and hunt early next week, this storm system blowing in might make it a killer hunt. Sure is nasty windy up here on the mountain today. Only gonna get worse for the next couple days.

Wow! I bet those folks in that neighborhood were like "WTF!!!" That's a pretty sweet video.

LoL. Lark I am mad at global warming. It got the best of me this year. BTW that muley that girl took was an awesome buck. Congrats to all involved!

That's a gorgeous typical coues whitetail. It'd be really hard to pass up a buck like that. Congrats!

I've never hunted for deer with a rifle in hotter weather than what I hunted this past weekend. I was literally beading sweat, running down the face, hot and miserable. Its hard to focus on glassing, picking apart hillsides when you're like that. A ten degree difference in heat would make all the difference in the world IMO. Deer were held up very tight, bedding down before 7, not moving again til around 500 pm. Difficult hunt.

Love that little drop. Killer stud buck. Congrats.
