    My favorite hunt was a few years ago when my son, Tyler got his first elk with a bow. It was another father/son outing which many of us have mentioned as our favorite. It started with me seeing a considerable amount of bull elk sign such as, freshly horned trees, etc. where I had been grouse...

    Which month produces the most B&C entries for typical mule deer in Colorado?

    Over the few years I’ve been on this forum there has been numerous discussions about the best time to draw your limited tag to hunt a trophy mule deer. The general consensus has most often been that the rut is a guy’s best opportunity. I’ve never disagreed. It seems to me along with a lot of...

    W.S. Cutthroat - before & after

    Here is a picture of a 21" West Slope Cutthroat (male) in spawning colors which I posted about a year ago on "fishing hole." I mounted this guy earlier this spring and showed him on my bench in my post on fish painting. The second picture shows the final product.

    Montana Bighorns in May

    This is something that is personally important to me. I've spent some time in the country from Sun River north to Dupuyer Creek off and on since the 1970's. My friend and I used to compare our experiences in the back country with stories of hunting Bighorns in Alberta written by Jack O'Conner.

    Montana Bighorns in May

    It's the heat waves. No tonly a problem for digiscoping but also makes it difficult to see good detail at long distance and high power. The higher the power the worse the problem is if the air is heated up.

    Montana Bighorns in May

    I use a Zeiss 15-45 power scope with the Zeiss Digiscope Bracket attachment which allows me to swing my camera to the side while I look directly thru scope. My camera is a Sony RX100 which I'm still learning to use. Using a cheap tripod and need to upgrade.

    Almost the record Montana Brown Trout

    I use the entire hide including the skinned out head. Once the hide is cured it is glued on a form or manikin of the fish which I carve out of polystyrene foam. Once everything is dry the coloring is replaced by painting. There are a couple of other common ways to mount fish. One is to use...

    Almost the record Montana Brown Trout

    Years ago I mounted a Brown trout that weighed 27lbs-15oz for a fellow named Don Grover. Don was fishing in the Missouri River below Canyon Ferry Dam on February 22, 1972 with his friend Carl Blankenship. While trolling a Rapala along a steep cliffy embankment Don hooked the huge Brown...
