Nice write-up and nice shooting! Amazing how much the little bit of wind mattered on that farthest shot. Amanda

seemed like a normal-sized rifle to me? Maybe this pic shows it better?

Congratulations Brittany!! Very cool hunt and thanks for posting so many photos of the critters! now you get to enjoy some great tasting deer meat!! Amanda

Very nice-looking buck!! Amanda

Geez Gamehauler, that's a bit harsh.... He is offering a trade not just trying to get something for nothing. Doesn't seem so bad to me. Anyway, I hope you and whoever takes you up on it make a deal that works for you both. Welcome to the forum. Amanda

Glad you are healing and feeling better GH!! Amanda

You are welcome

Actually, no, I didn't shoot anything. Had a great time helping Scott and Trent get their bucks and helped Josh try and get a buck with no success. Then the last two days Scott and I went into the area that holds two particular bucks I was interested in and we couldn't find either. Of course 20 degree weather with 40 mph winds and snow flurries didn't really help! Those were some mighty cold times. Scott and I were shaking uncontrollably for a lot of the time! Had to move glassing spots just to warm up. I did manage to find a nice shed from a 90-inch buck that Scott happened to have the matching set of sheds from the year prior. That was neat. It's disappointing for me to come home without my buck, but at least I had a great time hunting with Scott and Trent and Josh. Amanda here is a pic of Trent's Buck. It was a cool deal where we glassed him up way across a canyon. Trent does a ton of long-range shooting and felt comfortable taking the shot even though it was something like 650-700 yards. Anyway, he hit the buck and it bedded. He and Scott decided to hike over and put a kill shot in it while I kept an eye on the buck from across the canyon. An hour and a half later they are walking up to the buck and have to get within 10 yards in order to even see it. The buck bolts but in the 30's I see it drop to the ground almost immediately and then I hear the BOOM of the gun since I was so far away. It was very cool. Scott calls Trent's final kill shot "poetry in motion". Imagine hitting a deer running full speed only 10 yards away from you. I hope Trent doesn't mind me posting the pic and a little of the story. Josh had hunted another part of the unit for the first few days and then came and joined Scott and Trent and I. The day we found a nice buck for Josh, I hiked down with him to get as close as we could to it. unfortunately that was only 500 yards and the slope we were on was thick with oak and juniper trees. We found an opening and the best place Josh found to set up was to be prone and laying over a bear grass clump! Here is a neat pic of him in his sniper position waiting for the big buck to step out. It never did. However the 90'ish buck that was with him paraded around and gave all kinds of opportunities for shots. And it was SOOOOO tempting to shoot the smaller buck that I actually got behind my gun and considered it very seriously. The shed I found. Some pics of the snow flurries in mtns around us.

I even drank my coffee this morning out of the packers mug I bought at Lambeau field. I guess that didn't help. Amanda

Cool!!! Love the costume and the pumpkin!!! Thanks for posting! amanda

Welcome!! and I fixed your name so it's now pilgrim. Enjoy the site! Amanda

Here are some pics of Paige working on it. It never ceases to amaze me the talent that people on this site have!! Thanks for all the hardwork Paige!!!

here is info I was emailed after the Holder's heard about your question in this forum: Someone wrote to your website months ago asking if anyone had information on Holder Cabin site on Buck Springs Ridge. We had lost the information that someone had done on the research on the site but today I ran across it. The author of the nicely written article is: Hollis M. Flint 1303 E. Minton Dr. Tempe, Arizona 85282 (602)839-3049 The date I have on the information is 7/5/99, so this information on the author may not be current. My husband's father is the person the cabin was named after and Jim, my husband, lived for a number of years in the cabin. If the people can not located the author of the article and get a copy of it, then we can scan the copy and sent it to anyone that is interested. It would be best, of course, if they could locate the author. The article is about 30 pages long. We can be contacted at holderranch@yahoo.com. We do not have phone service in our area. Clarice Holder

I agree...helping on others hunts is a great time. Glad you got to enjoy so many successful hunts! Nice CWT.com shirt! Amanda

You are welcome!! Amanda

I hunted ducks a few times on San Carlos, but can't say I am really much of a duck hunter. I have a friend and her husband that hunt ducks fairly often. Amanda
