[QUOTE="Deer Slayer, post: 2379613, member: 8855"] Dennis - The pics turned out real well. A little background info on this ranch. It was founded in 1869 and still in the original family. The ranch has some old gold mines on the property and was assembled grubstaking miners that worked the mines. There are some old mining buildings still on the ranch around 9,800 feet. Old shafts are scattered in the dark timber. We only saw around 200 elk on this trip which was 1/2 of what we normally see. The winter elk migration has not started because the winter has been so mild and not enough snow to force the herds out of the timber into the valley floor and down elevation. This is my 15th year on the ranch and the owners are an extended family to me. I have already booked the 2015 hunt and my success ratio is around 90%. The lack of snow and bitter cold has kept the herds pretty stationary. The 5 we harvested were all part of the resident herd. My cornhusker hunters that were on this hunt did some fancy shooting at long range too. I will join them in 3 weeks for a couple days of ice fishing for big yellow perch. This is the ranch where sesh, one of our fellow OSA member, killed his 280" bull this past October. I visited with Tomahawk Outfitters, who have the concession on this ranch, while we were on the trip and James told me that one of his hunters this Fall killed a 354" bull. If anyone wants to take a trip of a lifetime for a big bull then stay tuned. Need I say more??? [/QUOTE]
