    Ranch Properties

    Actually you would spend all of your time trying to find people to do all the work for you. Finding quality ranch help that is willing to do ranch work other than play cowboy is a giant pain in the butt.

    Ranch Properties

    I wonder how many millions would come off the asking price it the number of landowner tags was zero. No wonder realtors are all for landowner tags.

    Missed a buck. Will he come back?

    There is a good chance. My father and I muffed a stock on a big buck one Thanksgiving and he was back in the same place on Sunday.

    How old is this buck?

    This buck could easily be 10+. Would not be surprised if this is also the best set of antlers he ever grew.

    Hunting in the 1980s and 90s

    If I could time travel, I would much rather go back and hunt the worst year in the 80's than hunt the best year in the past ten.

    Mule Deer: Post Wildfire Recovery for Woody browse and Forage Availability

    Just depends on the species, Big sage will take a long time, Silver Sage will be back the next year. Been my experience that fire is good for most of he woody browse that deer love. Not so good for big bucks though where hunting pressure is an issue.

    Tall bucks

    I shot this buck back in 94. G2's 18 4/8 and 19 2/8 Shed antler from two years earlier had a G2 of 20 2/8. The year in between that year and the year I shot him was probably his best. I couldn't find those sheds and it wasn't because of lack of looking.

    Balancing Opportunity and Age: The Impact of Buck Point Restrictions

    When you think about your idea, it would kind of mimic the way our grandfathers hunted, Most of them shot the first buck that gave them a good clean shot. Sure that buck was a monster some times, but most of the time it was small two or three point.

    Tall bucks

    I have always liked tall bucks and with the success of the over 30 thread I thought I would start a Tall buck thread. There is no such thing as a 30 tall buck with out some creative tape work. This is one of the tallest bucks I have ever seen, G2's are 19 2/8 and 20 4/8. Measuring from the...

    Balancing Opportunity and Age: The Impact of Buck Point Restrictions

    I think your Idea is far better then traditional APR's for several reasons. Focuses the harvest on younger deer, many of witch will die of natural causes before they are old enough to grow large antlers. Focuses the harvest of older bucks on the ones that will never get big. and the harvest of...

    Northwest Fire Danger

    One hundred years of fuel build up, dry winter, enough rain in the spring to grow a good grass crop followed by a hot dry July and conditions are ripe for a big fire. Throw in high hot wind blowing up from the SE and you are looking at a fire that is unstoppable. Remington fire burned from WY to...

    Fresh Mule Deer Rubs in Mid-October

    If I find a rub on a four inch or better diameter tree and tine marks five feet up it is time to slow down and get serious about hunting.

    Bucks over 30"

    I did have a camo jacket on the morning I took the buck in my avatar, It was opening day of archery and the temps hit 95 that day. That is about as far as I go with camo. All bucks but the white dead head are from MT, all but two are from public land,
