Last Post…

Well all my hunts are over. I hunted antelope for 5 days and was unsuccessful. Then I hunted deer for the next 2 weeks, also unsuccessful, and now I have ran out of time because I am leaving on my mission in 2 days! I did have 2 chances at some bucks, but ended up judging the distances wrong (because I lost the rangefinder) so that kinda sucks, but life goes on—maybe lol. So although it is depressing that I didn’t get anything, I still had a blast this year with scouting, trail cameras, and just being in the mountains. After my mission I’m gonna start hunting right away. Can’t wait!!!

Anyways, here are the last pictures from that ranch and from the hunt that I am going to be posting for the next 2 years. No one that I know of has a tag in the same unit that the ranch is in, so these pictures are just for the heck of it, but I love them anyways. I got a few pictures of some nice bulls—one really unique one with a split main beam that I named the Dagger Bull lol,—and a couple pretty nice bucks. Hope you enjoy them and I hope that there aren’t too many of them haha (It probably isn’t possible to have too many pictures of bucks and bulls lol).

PICTURES FROM THE HUNT:
Here is a buck that I found while I was on a scouting trip the 3rd week in July. I had my hopes high when the hunt started, but I could never find him again. Not sure what he would have scored, but I’m guessing somewhere around 190” or so. Sweet buck. Wish I could have gotten him lol…
