A great 7×7 typical elk from Utah
by Jim Giles
My quest for a huge bull elk started back in 2002 when a couple of my good friends bought me a landowner tag on the San Juan Elk Ridge, limited-entry unit in Utah for helping them with a land development project they were working on. […]

by Cullen Wagoner
In 1998, I was looking at a buck that I had shot previously. I couldn’t help but wonder why a 219-inch main frame buck couldn’t make the record book. My buck had been rough scored at 236 B&C. A friend of mine told me that Boone and Crockett had lowered […]

Idaho Super Tag Mule Deer
January 16, 2008

A 230 1/8 Gross Velvet Mule Deer
by Chris Dunlap
As I leveled my pin on the sweet spot I only had one thought, “Do not punch your trigger again.” I had missed this same big buck twelve days earlier this season.
