Jeff Walker shared a few pictures from his NV muzzleloader hunt and scouting episodes. Jeff is the oldest son of my previous boss, Jim Walker from Page, AZ. Jeff is pretty good a drawing tags and it sounds like he had a great hunt. Jeff had many opportunities at mature bucks and finally connected with this respectable buck. Congratulations Jeff!                   

Vance Gray shared a few pictures of a nice bull harvested by his friend, Jaime Dykstra, on an early rifle hunt.  Congrats on a nice, heavy bull!

Lana's Deer Hunt

Lana dropped the hammer on opening day!  While watching a group of does file into an open sage flat, my nephew, Tyler Berry, spotted this rutting buck and Lana's stalk was on. With only 30-40 minutes of daylight left, Lana closed the distance and connected with the buck from approximately 170 yards.  Tyler and I watched the entire hunt!
This rugged and desolate country is full of historical landmarks and lowland beauty.   I have hunted deer and elk within this unit on a few occasions and I cannot wait to go back each time. Enjoy the pictures!

Charles and Jet getting the dutch oven coals ready...

 

The following pictures demonstrate Charles' skilled dutch oven cooking that we have grown accustomed to. Charles has a variety of ovens that he uses to make items such as biscuites, cornbread, peach cobbler, chile, cowboy breakfast casseroles, pot pie, chile, etc. Dutch ovens are thick-walled cooking pots with a tight-fitting lid and they have been around for hundreds of years. For whatever reason, the taste of the dutch-oven food around camp is always good. Enjoy the pictures!

Jacob's First Cow Hunt

Jacob drew his first cow elk tag this year and I thought I would share a few pictures. Although Jacob failed to connect on eight different occassions, we had a great time and it is a hunt that I will not soon forget.
