Blacktails on Trail Cameras

One of the best blacktail hunts I ever had was the buck I took last year, in 2016. I had been watching this buck for 4 years. We had trail camera pictures of him. We had gotten to know this buck so well that we had named him Tall Four, because he was a 4x4 buck.

Krissy Knox’s Best Blacktail Buck Deer

In 2011, I took my best blacktail buck that was a 4x4 that scored 109 inches - a trophy blacktail. To be considered a trophy blacktail taken with a bow, a buck has to score at least 90 inches. This buck was beautiful. Because the areas we hunt are so thick, most of the time we hunt from tree stands. We especially enjoy rattling in bucks during the rut.

The Long Hike Elk Hunt

We investigated the spot where the bull had been standing when I took the shot. Although we didn’t find any blood, we saw the direction where the bull had run. He’d gone into some really thick brush. Because night was approaching quickly, we decided to leave the bull and come back and try and find him the next day.

Krissy Knox’s Best Bull Elk

The second bull I took was during one of the greatest years we ever had elk hunting. Ryan and I decided to hike in six miles into the back country, set up a spike camp and then hunt out of the spike camp. We went to the deepest, darkest canyon we could locate the night before our hunt. We had found a herd of elk and put them to bed, before we went back to

Hunting is a Family Affair for Krissy Knox

I’ve lived in Harrisburg, Oregon, my entire life, and our entire family hunts. After Ryan and I were both mentored into hunting by the older members of our family, we became hunting partners and have remained hunting partners throughout life while raising our own families.

New Mexico Elk and California Bears

My favorite thing about elk hunting is calling the elk in to a bowhunter. There’s nothing quite like hearing an 800-pound animal screaming out a bugle as he’s coming to you, thinking you’re another bull elk trying to steal cows from his herd. Most of the time the bull elk coming in already has determined he will beat you up if he finds you. Hear what that's like.
