If it were easy everyone would do it right? The guides earned everything they got this year nothing came easy. We all hunted hard and pushed clients to hunt hard.

Marco started out his trip with us by spraining his ankle on the first morning. But that did not keep this New Yorker down. He toughed it out and with Jerad finding a fresh track the next morning he was ready to pursue. After trailing for an half hour or so the dogs got the big cat up a tree and Tyler was able to lead Marco down the snow covered hillside to Jerad and the dogs. Marco made a great shot with an old 32. special that Jerad's grandpa left him. It was a fun short tr

Here is a great velvet muley we found while scouting during the summer. With the wet summer we have had tremendous antler growth and all game is in great shape for this fall.
