There are two monsters up at Sun Mountain Lodge in the hallway that I think were taken by Victor Moss back in the day.Correct. Most of the mounts including the mule deer were harvested by Vic. He was a great guy👍

Yes three fingered Jacks are local bucks. Pretty much killed by one cowboy.

Dewey, what store did he have up in Winthrop? I used to sit there and listen to stories while Dad delivered fuel or something. He didn’t care that I was just a little kid. He had a non typical that hung above his door that just captivated me.Original owner of the Outdoorsman. He hunted a lot with Dan Montgomery and Bob Maves.

Vic was sort of a child hood hero of mine. I met him on my birthday when I was maybe 10 and we happened to have the same birth date. I was there to by BBs for my BB gun. I told him I wanted to be a big game hunter some day and that peaked his interest real quick. I went in to that store a few times per year up until he died mostly just to shoot the stuff. It's too bad because around the time he died is when he started telling me to come with him on a hunt. I would have loved that. I took some family up to Sun Mountain several days ago to have a drink in the bar and I had to stop and marvel at those two bucks. Both absolutely gigantic in my opinion. Based on the mounts, it looks like one was a rut buck and the other a general season based on the neck size.

I wish! No, I grew up in Yakima and have lived in Cowiche since coming back after college etc. However, my parents started taking me up there when I was around five years old. We started by camping all over the place, then they bought a lot near Winthrop. Then they sold it and bought a piece out in Mazama. Just a great place that I've visited a lot my entire life.

Ahhhh, of years gone by! :tup: Just think mountainman, we are the "Ole Timers" now!! :chuckle: :chuckle:Yep! The “Ranch” is different, Rendevous still holds a nice buck or two. Times gone by..

"I think we lived through the best years up there👍" quote mountainman:yeah: It’s turning into “Liberalville” for sure. I can’t believe the number of Biden/Harris signs that were out this past year, heck some folks are still proudly displaying them.

There’s a few on here that remember the hay days of this valley, you timberfaller as well as mountainman, bone, MAX, myself and a few others I’m sure, back when there was hunter friendly residents, wide open spaces, cowboys, an actual Game Department and a herd that was second to none. All those things are dwindling and will continue to I fear.
I’ve posted a few pictures in the past, I’ll dig through and see if I can get permission to post a few of my sons along with a couple more of mine, they could be duplicates from past posts, who knows.
