Simon Ellis's Best Florida Deer

The best buck I ever took in Florida was a 12 pointer that scored 121-5/8 inches that I harvested in 2015. I took that buck during gun season, but I had trail camera pictures of him from a year earlier. A buddy of mine had shot at this buck in 2014 but missed him. Although we put out trail cameras in 2015, we never got a picture of him.

Elk and Mule Deer in Texas, New Mexico and Old Mexico

After we leave Texas and the enclosure elk hunt, I’ll be going to New Mexico to guide elk hunters for Mossy Oak. I’ll probably purchase a black bear tag to hopefully be able to take a black bear after the person I’m guiding fills his elk tag, depending on how many days are required to get my hunter the elk he wants to take with a bow.

Brandon Wicks Helps His Dad Take a Bull Elk

In 2015, we were hunting the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. Dad had been putting in for 13 or 14 years before he drew a tag for this hunt. I knew this area, because I had hunted this region before. This area was also closer to my home than some of the regions. So, I knew I would have more time to scout than I would if Dad was hunting another area farther away from my

One of Brandon Wicks's Most Memorable Elk Hunts

I've guided quite a few clients to bulls that would score 340 to 350 inches, but I never will forget a hunter from back east. He was 73 years old, and he was hunting with a rifle. He had never taken an elk before. So, I took him into an area that I knew would be a good place for us to hunt, and it wouldn’t be too physically exerting. We were going to a

Rena Parsons’ First Bull Elk

My wife Rena started shooting a bow in 2008, the year we both started archery hunting. She and I passed on a lot of bulls, so we went out with our rifles on the first day of rifle season. I spotted a bull I was going to take. But before I got set up to take the shot, some other hunters came in and spooked the bull. We talked for awhile about how upset we

Chad Parsons’ First Elk Ever

I had been hunting elk for three years unsuccessfully. I was really getting frustrated about not being able to close the deal. So, I went on a rifle hunt in an area that had a lot of hunting pressure. We got on top of a high peak and watched a herd of elk about 1-1/2 miles away from where we were. While we were watching the elk, we noticed other hunters moving in on the
