Just Another Day At The Ranch
January 30, 2009 Antelope, DeerGot these photos from Beach Billy back in November. The hunter preferred not have his picture online so here they are with his identity safely hidden. He shot this nice antelope and a fine whitetail (photo after the jump) on the same 27,000 acre ranch. Particularly remarkable is the topography of the ranch, note [...]

Monster Muley
January 28, 2009 DeerNo details on this brute but from the looks of it, I’d say Arizona or New Mexico. If you know anything about this buck, let us know in the Comments!

Everything’s Bigger In Texas
January 27, 2009 SightingsWhere I come from, snakes are all over but you have to have a good eye before stepping on them.

He’s Gonna Need A Bigger Truck
January 16, 2009 ElkDon’t know anything about this one but the email said “540 class”. He’s a hoss alright, but I’m a bit skeptical on it going 540. According to Boone and Crockett, the largest non-typical elk came in at 478 5/8 (2008, Denny Austad, Piute County, Utah). For that matter, the largest typical elk was 442 5/8 [...]

North Dakota Bear Report
January 14, 2009 SightingsYup, I said North Dakota. This black bruin showed up about a half mile north of Hannover, or 20 miles north of New Salem, way up in the northwest portion of the state. I’ve been there a couple times and it doesn’t strike me as bear country, but there are a lot of coolies and [...]
