My dad (Gary Martin) grew up with Max and Charlene, we hunted sheep with Keele a few times in Alaska. They’re great people. Went to Max’s ranch a bunch growing up when we would visit family in Utah. My ranch bordered Max on the south. I leased the land from our property boundary up to the well near his driveway. Learned that Max has recently passed.

Learned that Max has recently passed. Small world. Beautiful country out by your ranches. When my dad was still able to hunt about 10 years ago, we went back to Blue Mountain and hunted. My dad was blown away with how much the mule deer numbers were down. I passed on a few spike/forks and had a heck of a time getting away from people. I was thinking about giving it a whirl next year and hunting with Sean Vogel and Spring Creek Muleys on private land. Or giving ol Blue Mountain a whirl for old times sake. My dad grew up at the base of it and they lived off of those mule deer in the mid 40s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted August 29, 2021 12 or 13 years ago, Eastland got nearly 6' of snow early in the winter. Killed off a lot of the deer population. Yup, Spring Creek has a lot of the private lands locked up. I understand they charge top dollar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
