Some buddies and I booked a trip with Agua Dulce outfitters at the big game expo in salt lake in early 2022 for a Sonoran adventure. We finally made it down there this past January. We spent 6 days down in Sonora and went 4 for 4 on some great mule deer. It was truly an experience of a...

It seems like every year when the draw results from different states are posted, a feeling of disappointment and frustration typically follows. The 2023 results started out no different, as I casually crossed out state after state upon reading “unsuccessful”, “not selected”, “bonus point...

Short version - My Son and I shot 2 coues bucks in Arizona on a backpack hunt last December. Longer version - See below. I had an idea in my head about the kind of hunt I was looking for. It was different than most of our hunts in a few ways. I wanted to hunt coues deer, which I had never...

There will be others, but there can only be one first. As a big game hunter there are memories associated with every set of horns on the wall. A simple glance at one of those antler sets immediately stirs up memories of days gone by. You can go back in time instantly in your mind and...

(Quick report before I leave for a 3rd season Colorado elk hunt tomorrow morning.) We went up for the last 5 days of the general season and were very fortunate to kill the (2) best bucks we saw. Kenny was able to sneak in on his buck while he was thrashing a brush pile and hammer him at 210...

When you reflect upon a past hunt there is always a part of the experience that in the moment seemed inconsequential, but in fact turned out to be the most important part of the trip. During a hunt you are constantly making decisions in the moment that steer the direction of the day. Which ridge...

I can remember the moment like it was yesterday. I was hunting the cedar sprinkled mountains of North West Colorado in mid-October of 1993. I was 14 years old and standing over my first mule deer buck. It was a 3x3 that had an outside spread of 19 ¾”. I don’t have to re-measure the mount that...

As the big game draw results become available online after many months of waiting, seeing "successful" next to your name is quite a relief This year was especially exciting because I knew I had a 90% chance of drawing a good antelope tag in Wyoming. Having never hunted or harvested an antelope...

** I send this email out to family and friends so ignore all the (Picture #) references. I could only upload a qty. of 10........ Taking my family on an out of state adventure in search of mule deer has always been something I have looked forward to doing. The kids and I had made a deal that...

“What the heck, where are all the mature bucks”? This may have been the most commonly uttered phrase for our 2017 Idaho hunt. The weather started out fantastic as mother nature graced our hunting area with 8” of fresh snow the day before our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for better luck...

For those of us who hunt, there is no better feeling than finally drawing a good tag. It starts off with phone calls to your buddies who are going with you, (followed by phone calls to your other buddies telling them that they ARE NOT going with you) and the preparation and excitement only...

Having been to Idaho now for the past 4 years chasing mule deer, I can tell you that the chase proves both mentally and physically exhausting at times. Year after year our relentless pursuit of finding good bucks has driven us into the steepest canyons and the nastiest terrain that Idaho has to...

I was lucky enough to be able to make a trip out with extended family this year to Kentucky. Not really knowing what to expect being a western hunter, I was hoping for an opportunity to harvest my first Whitetail. We spent 6 days in tree stands waiting for an opportunity to get a shot at one...

We just got back from another Idaho trip and this year proved to be an extremely difficult hunt for us. Prior to the hunt quite a bit of Idaho was on fire and our area served as the border to one of the bigger blazes.This seemed to push a lot of hunters into our area and created a motorcycle...

I had a chance to hunt in Idaho last October and had great trip with my Dad and some friends from Idaho. We definitely got the weather that we looking for on the second day there, with the snow settling in. It snowed on and off from days 2-7, and the rut turned on pretty quickly after that...

I was fortunate enough to find a few days to get out and hunt during the Holiday season. I spotted this buck walking away from me at about 500 yards. He was feeding and sort of meandering through the brush, when for no reason at all he turns around and starts walking directly at me. 400...

A friend of mine turned me onto the site and I was instantly impressed. Finally, a site dedicated to chasing local deer! Now to the good part. After some long days scouting before season, a buddy and I were able to connect on 2 solid bucks. The second picture is me showing off my good luck...
