A Home with Roaming Buffalo and Playing Deer

I got to spend another night in the Book Cliffs looking for roaming buffalo...

After I found the bison, I got to play with the deer a little too.



Next I met up with my Peruvian friend that had a late night scare with a bear. He was alone in an old cabin without electricity, a gun, or even a dog. He scrapped together a spear for himself with some baling twine, a fence post, and an old knife and spent a long night sitting alone in the dark waiting to see if the bear was going to come back. We got him a dog, a .30-30, and set a trap just in case the bear did come back. I think he is sleeping a little better now.


Another great trip to the Books.

Dax Likes Racks

I like big racks and I cannot lie.

I spent an awesome night out in the Book Cliffs and saw about 70 different bucks. I also saw all kinds of elk, 3 coyotes, bison, antelope, and a bear eating a dead cow. What a great trip!
The bucks still have a little growing to do, but you can get a pretty good idea of what they are going to look like. I am not just watching for fun this year, my hunt opens on my birthday in about 2.5 months. I can't wait.
