Hey all, I was finally given the opportunity to hunt mule deer in South Dakota this past November, joined by my cousin we traveled 11.5 hours to Lodgepole Creek Outfitters in Lemmon South Dakota and had the best time enjoying the beautiful new country, hundreds of NICE whitetail bucks and muley bucks, thousands of Roosters and sharp tails and yes those Wiley coyotes over about every hilltop. After taking in all the inventory we seen I was starting to question myself for passing on a bunch of bucks, but that all changed when we topped the hill on thanksgiving and seen this guy shredding a pine tree and chasing his little brother off from his harem of does. He probably wasn’t what a lot of people would shoot, but for me it was a no brainer since I’m partial of the freaks in the world. I got on the bogo and chambered the 165 gr 28 nozzler, dialed the leupold to 350 yards and well the rest is history. This big ole veteran had it all, big head, roman nose, hooves the size of elk and dressed out at 225lb……lots of steaks in the future. Such a fun hunt and great opportunity to see different animals and great new people. Thanks for your time!!!!!
This hunting season, Mayzie Droscher took her very first deer! It turned out to be the biggest first deer in her family and she’ll never let them forget it! While hunting in the East Canyon unit, her dad spotted this buck at about 175 yards. She took her time, and made one perfect shot. Her and her dad couldn’t have been happier, and the two of them celebrated a moment they’ll never forget. An incredible memory and an amazing first deer for Mayzie!
Ivie Olson had no luck drawing a deer tag her first 2 years of putting in, then finally this year she drew out……. but there was a catch, she drew a deer tag on one of the restricted rifle units which means she couldn’t use a scope on a rifle when hunting deer. That did not stop ivie from the excitement of going hunting. She shot her gun and was ready to hunt when the season came. She hunted hard and never complained. Finally a big mature buck stepped out and Ivie put the open sights on him with the old 30-30 cowboy gun and the rest was history. She shot this nice mature buck at 165 yards with open sites. Ivie loved every minute of hunting and Little does she know her dad Tyson loved it more. And as always we need to thank grandpa Kevin for helping out as well. Ivie says now NO SCOPE NO PROBLEM!

It was a beatiful day in the marsh when my fourteen year old son Cameron connected on this magnificent swan. The swan decoyed perfectly and with one shot the harvest was over. His nine year old brother Logan was more excited about the accomplishment than his older brother. Creating memories like this in the outdoors is something that will last a lifetime.

144 Pound Halibut at Homer Alaska
Caught this monster on Thanksgiving Eve at Bartholomew in Springville! Out of 45 fish this was the biggest of the day weighing in at 2 pounds and 20 inches!
Wade and Teresa took the grandkids out on the boat at Palisades Reservoir in Star Valley, Wyoming. Everyone had success landing multiple fish. But it was Taylor who had the best celebration. After hooking into and reeling in this big Mackinaw (3rd pic), Taylor threw his arms up and let out a triumphant yell. It’s the biggest fish he’s caught so far.
