Spent last weekend in Tahoe with my wife for our 15 year anniversary. Just so happens they had a tattoo expo going on...what better time to add to my half sleeve.

Close call from last season. Saw this buck 3 days in a row, but I was holding out for a bigger buck. One of my hunting partners decided to go for it.

Look closely! Found this awesome buck after a snow storm while in Colorado. My tag was filled already and we couldn't close the gap for my father in law to get a shot. My guess was he was pushing 28-30" wide and around 25" tall. Watched him for about 30 min before he disappeared in the quakies.

Well my time in Colorado has come to an end. I sat watching this buck as he chased a doe and had to make the decision to harvest or pass. I decided leaving Colorado with meat in the cooler and a filled tag was more important to me then chasing the giant that might not show up. Turns out I made the right choice. I did find some monster bucks, but they were nowhere near a comfortable range to take the shot. If there is one thing I learned from this trip, it's that I need to increase my comfortable and effective shooting range. My season is over and I can't wait to see what next year brings!

2nd season Elk hunt starts Nov 18 here in Oregon. Trask Unit is one of the three that allows one spike elk with at least one visible unbranched antler.. I spotted this herd of elk, 8 cows and 3 bulls (all spikes). Looks like I’ll be doing some scouting after my deer season is over.

Weather came in last night but I still struggled to find the bucks. Got desperate and broke out the rattle bag. It's still early but I've had success with rattling in the past. Didn't seem to help today.
