Couple Trail Cam Muleys

I just got back from my grandpa’s ranch in Nevada. I’ve been spending a lot of time out there because I’ve been running his water lines and things like that. He’s seen a couple bucks and bulls out, and me and my buddy saw 2 of the biggest bucks I’ve ever seen out there a few years ago, so I decided to put up a trail camera on one of his ponds… It’s been out there for a few weeks now and we’ve gotten a few pictures of some cow elk, a coyote, and that’s about it. When I went and checked it this week however, I got a coupe good pictures of some bucks. They aren’t anything close to monsters, but it’s a good start. I’m just glad that I finally got a picture of anything with antlers lol… Hopefully some better bucks or bulls start showing up soon.

Here’s a bull that my buddy Baelin found out in Nevada this week. Once he’s done growing he will probably score around 370 or so… I wish I had a NV bull elk tag lol…28466

June 22nd Scouting Trip

My dad, brother, and I just returned from our scouting trip this week to look for some bucks in the area I have a tag for. We found a lot of animals, except we didn’t find any good bucks. All we saw were a couple forked horns. We think that the deer haven’t moved into the high country yet because of the snow. There were a couple snow banks we ran into that were at least 10 feet deep. My brother and I hiked in on a trail about 5 miles, and since there was too much snow the animals weren’t living that high yet, so we ended up hiking back to the truck. We hiked about 10 miles in 5 hours. My legs were shot the next day haha.We are planning on going out to scout again in about 3 weeks, so hopefully the majority of the snow has melted by then…

Here are some videos and pictures of some bulls, sheep, snakes, and someone’s dead horse that we found. Other than the lack of deer, it was a pretty fun few days of scouting.

Here are a couple bulls that we found. The top one is gonna be a big bull once his tops fill out… And the bottom one is a 7x6. It looks like he’s about a year away from being a serious bull, but I would shoot him this year if I had a tag haha.

 

The top bull is going to be a 7x6. He would score higher if he had longer main beams, but he’ll probably score around 320 or so… And the lower bull is a nice 6x6 that will score around 330 or so…

 

These stupid young bulls were about 1 step from falling of this 40 foot cliff. It was crazy to see something do that besides a sheep….
