That's a pretty good looking buck. He might be close to 190. Sometimes their bodies are so big they make the antlers look smaller. On my buck the outside spread on the main frame is 22 1/2 inches. Here is the score chart for him.
My first big buck. Montana 1976.
Our camp. I had to ferry everything three miles to camp in my old '71 Dodge Power Wagon because the road was so nasty. The locals called it California Camp.
Inside the cook tent. This was my folks first wall tent. It had 4 foot side walls and was a little...
I'm a wall tent guy too. For what you want though it may not be the way to go. It just takes too long to setup and take down. That said, there's nothing like a wall tent with a wood stove.
This one is my biggest at 213. I always thought I'd get a bigger one but it hasn't happened yet. I doubt that it will too. He has a 192 frame with only a 17 6/8 inside spread.
So what are the odds of getting two 200 inch bucks on the same trip ? These two bucks were taken on public land on our own during a big family type hunt. There were 17 of us at camp including the wives and my nephew. Probably the best hunt/hunting camp I've ever been in, in 60 odd years of deer...
Having your camp in order at the start of the hunt is a big thing. You need to get your firewood cut and your groceries stocked up. You want to be comfortable when you get back from a tough day on the mountain not just trying to survive if the weather is cold and wet. Nothing like a hot meal and...
I have the Canon SX10 (20X) and I've been happy with it. It is small enough that it goes everywhere with me. I've also been looking at the SX70 for a little more reach. So far as low light goes, I would think it would be better than my old SX10 (think newer). Here are a few photos taken with my...
I think they go through life pissed off. We were traveling in a International Travelall above tree line in the Gravelleys one year when we came around a rock pile. A badger was in the road. He immediately ran towards us and started chewing on the front tire and then he attacked the fender. Mean...
Total money grab by the NFL. I'm not a fan of either team but I'd like to watch the game. I'm sure as hell not going to subscribe to do it. BS for sure.
