Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I really hoped you would get a stud this year. I had my fingers crossed for you. Regardless looks like you had a good safe trip!!! Welcome home  Glad to here it's looking up again up there! The deer herd is recovering good from the drought(farmers hate that fact). Numbers of young bucks(1-3 yr olds) is really good and fawn numbers this year are really high. Very few mature does did not have a fawn with them. So the next 2-4 yrs looks great for numbers on mature bucks in the areas I was hunting. The buck I seen on Saturday morning when it was 37 degrees was a really good buck. He had 12"+ G2s and 10"+ G3s with 5" brows and G4s that were 6" or so. He had a kicker(s) off his left G2 also. He had long beams and could not tell much on the mass at 1/2 mile but he looked average for the sheds of bucks from that area. I would have liked to have gotten a better look at him at 150 yards or less  I don't think I would have been disappointed  Right in my Bow Range  Fred Bear approves this post

Great pics as always, ranchman. That is some intimidating country. Where to start? Deer could be anywhere in that sea of grass.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Great pics! Makes me even more sad that I couldn't get up there for ML season this year. Here's hoping for rifle season!

Great pics. That's why they call it hunting. That's some open country. But I'm sure they can disappear in that corn and CRP when ever they decide to. How far can you shoot with that ML? Good luck if you get a chance to go back.

You go up there to hunt or to take pictures!? Looks like a fun time sitting behind glass.

Good luck if you get a chance to go back. My comfort range off of sticks is 150 yards but off of a good rest 200-225 yards it still has a good group. You go up there to hunt or to take pictures!? Looks like a fun time sitting behind glass. Those pictures were taken the last 2 days I was there. Mature deer were not moving till very late at almost dark or right at first light, so to late to take pics.

Looks great up there. Sure miss chasing pheasants in ks. Need to get up there and some more hunting with my uncle. Great pics as always and it's nice seeing all the birds.
