My Biggest Bull Elk Hunt

with Troy Grogan I was hunting in the Gila National Forest on September 18, 2011. It was the last morning of my hunt. This was the first year I had hunted the Gila, and a friend of mine told me where to set up our camp. We had elk bugling every day around our camp. But toward the end of the hunt, the elk weren’t bugling as much as they were at the first of

Gila National Forest Bull Elk Hunt

I hunt all public lands whether I'm hunting in Utah or New Mexico. I've taken the most and biggest elk in the Gila National Forest - a huge area. The elk in that area of New Mexico have great genetics that produce really big bull elk. The elk in the Gila also have really good habitat, and because the area is so big, they have great places to hide, feed and breed to grow to

Brandon Wicks and the Bull Elk That Almost Got Away

The weather was super, super hot, and the elk weren’t bugling. I was hunting over a spring, and I found a spot that would provide cover for me if an elk came in to drink. Many times when I'm hunting over springs, the elk don’t come in to water until just before dark. However, I always try to go in early to the spot I'm planning to hunt, because I don’t want to spook any

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

Brandon Wicks’s Biggest Mule Deer Ever

I go to Wyoming fishing. I wanted to hunt mule deer in Wyoming, but I had been guiding so much that I hadn’t had a chance to go to Wyoming and hunt for myself. 2016 was the only time in 10 years that I was able to make a mule deer hunt in Wyoming. When I drew my tag, I knew I’d be hunting in a really good unit.

Mark Hanson’s Best Coues Deer

The biggest Coues (whitetail) buck I've ever taken was a buck that scored 90 inches. I grew up back in the East, and I was well acquainted with hunting whitetails from a tree stand. Especially in the early archery season, I prefer to hunt from a tree stand. On this day, I was about 30 minutes late leaving town for my hunt. Once I reached the area I planned to hunt, I knew I had

Strategies For Hunting the "Second Rut"

Often, the first to mid-December, white-tailed does, and bucks go into what many hunters refer to as the second rut.
