WOW!Spotted this desert muley this morning scouting hope he's still there next weekView attachment 5210833
It's been open here but my crossbow has a split in the limb and I don't trust it. Going to wait for rifle season to get after filling the freezer. Good luck to everyone and be safe.
Sled drags the only way!This was my best whitetail from the 2021 deer season. It's a small rack but one of the G1's split and made it a 9 pointer. You realize how heavy these things are when your dragging it out of the woods. I use my ice fishing sled for that.View attachment 5198028
Got a client on a really large Kodiak some years back & it took 3 of us to drag the head & hide back to the lodge on a sled.Sled drags the only way!
300 pounds is a decent live weight for a black bear around me. Just the cape weighing that much is nuts. Always wanted to hunt a Kodiak bear, one of my dream hunts for sure. You're a lucky guy.Got a client on a really large Kodiak some years back & it took 3 of us to drag the head & hide back to the lodge on a sled.
Weighed a solid 300 +.
Bet that dog doesn't listen to any commands lol.
Dunno, looks pedigree to me!Bet that dog doesn't listen to any commands lol.
It sure as hell has more breeding than my mountain barn cats lol. I love the calls of Siamese cats, it's so different than just a meow.Dunno, looks pedigree to me!

What an absolute giant! The cost of these travelling big game hunts means I'll be sticking to my Whitetail deer, turkey and black bear. The licenses, fees and cost of doing a proper mount are out of reach for a lot of hunters but I love to see the pictures and hear good stories. Their claws are a good bit flatter than black bear. They're bigger but they don't hook like a black bear. It would be cool to harvest one but until then keep posting killer pics like these for those of us that can only dream.Me on the left.
Alaska F&G guesstimated him @ 1400 lbs based on measurements (it took 3 of us just to roll him over).
Note the size and color of the claws - large and whiter the better, indicates a very mature animal and he easily made Boone & Crockett.
Hide squared 10' 6" - skull scored low 29". Hunter had a full body mount done on him for his trophy room.

He dropped a 6K tip on the dining room table when he left.
To say he was tickled is an understatement.
