Bearpaw Season - Fall 2022

[bearpaw]

Wrangler and guide Brandi packed this buck out of one of our horseback drop camps, the two guys said they were on a monster the first morning but didn’t get him and one of them shot this buck a few days later.

Another one of our unguided hunters notched his tag on one of the best bucks of the season, Congrats Brady on getting a dandy! Well done!

Our last southern Idaho mule deer hunt is also currently underway, this hunt is one of our best for big mule deer, the guys have been after a monster, they've seen him a few times but never able to get within good shooting distance in time. My fingers are crossed it comes together before the end of the hunt! 

This is the buck the same guide found last year on this hunt:

Those mule deer are awesome.

Another Montana buck down. Fred had passed a pretty good buck the first day of his hunt with guide Derek but never saw larger, he dropped this buck this morning, the last day of his hunt, not quite as big as the one he passed, but a decent buck, congrats Fred!

Brandi spotted a really good bull that her and Steve tried to get but never got a shot opportunity, Steve took a smaller bull toward the end of his hunt. Not a lot of horn but probably much better eating!

Cow elk season is on now, time to fill the freezers, Russell sacked up this cow this morning at first light!

Kenny tried holding out for the big buck but never got a shot opportunity even though they saw the buck several times, tomorrow is the last day, so today he decided to take one of the smaller 4 pointers that presented a shot opportunity today, plus it’s good to share some success with a little guy when you can!

This cat needs to go, the rancher is missing three sheep and the cat is walking right under one of our deer feeders.

Probably the same cat, same property, the next day, I know where somebody needs to be sitting! It’s looking right at the feeder!  Fingers crossed!

Michael missed a good buck on his Montana hunt and got to see a couple smokers he didn’t quite get a shot at, but he salvaged his hunt on the last day this morning by knocking this management buck down, congrats!

After seeing those two big bucks he says he'll be back!

Meanwhile lion season is getting closer in Idaho. Tyson was out prescouting and found a nice tom track yesterday.

One of our unguided hunters found the bull he was hoping for in Idaho, great job Ryan!

Tagging along...you guys are doing a great job.

Thank you, we have had some nice critters taken this year, I really wished we could get everyone a good animal, I think the hardest part of being a guide/outfitter is sending some of the hunters home with nothing. That's harder on the guides when no animals are taken than it is for the hunters!
