It happens every time I leave my truck somewhere. Whether I'm off on a fishing or hunting adventure every time I walk away from my truck I'm thinking, "Is today the day that my truck gets broken into?" Unfortunatley vehicle vandalism and theft is on the rise here in Washington and vehicles parked in obscure […]
I saute'd my Washington deer tag last night in butter and garlic and while it was a little dry…have to say it didn't taste all that bad. I had my chances and have no regrets about my 2010 hunting season. I just typed "smattering" and spell check didn't highlight it, soooo here's a smattering of […]

Short and sweet. Brief, quick, don't blink or you'll miss it…. Eight. Count 'em, eight days are what you get for the modern firearm mule deer season. No wonder hunters plot, scheme, schedule vacation and plan their lives around deer season. The memories of deer camp, bucks hanging from the meat pole and clear mountain […]
Contender for the Toughest Buck Award….. This deer had some very uncomfortable days until he was harvested by this hunter. It is obvious that there was a fight during the rut and this deer ended up with an extra antler (embedded below the eye). You can see that the antler from the attacking deer was […]

Nine year old McKenzie Chambers tagged this magnificant mule deer buck on the Quarter Circle Diamond Ranch in Eastern Oregon last weekend using a Mentor Tag supplied by her mother. Oregon has offered the Mentored Youth Hunter Program since 2008 as a way to get youth involved in hunting again and from the looks of […]
With hunting season in full swing my email account is starting to light up with photos from successful big game hunts from folks in the Outdoor Line network.
