No John I have been blessed with really good bucks. The one I shot last year beats him

So what’s on target now. Anymore tags? 

Coyotes and I have a late season doe anyelope tag that a bunch of friends and I do together

No it’s a coyote and it is a Icotec 500 electronic call

Haha. I know it’s a coyote.  We have a tiny bug that doesn’t allow me to edit mistakes.  I appreciate all your additions and stories.  Your exactly what Gametiks is about.   Please keep it up and spread the word..  your grandkids are going to appreciate your stories and photos. 

I had this coyote running around sizing up my new little pup and my little kids are always running around. So after a snow storm one evening I went out in our front pasture and called him in and don’t have to worry about ol Wylie anymore

Staff Pick

You clearly understand what we are trying to provide. I am looking forward to seeing more of your pictures and stories

Sorry, I had to add another harvest as you moved ahead of me on the leader board by a couple points.  :) 

I saw this buck late October with no broken points and had a old friend dad give me permission to go hunt this buck. Well the day before I got him I seen that he had gotten in a fight and broke his G4 off and a kicker. Didn’t matter to me he was gonna taste delicious if I was lucky enough to get him. Day after thanksgiving I drove over to see if I could see him. I found him and he was down in the bottom of a creek chasing does around. I almost got a shot at 15 yards but he didn’t want to stand still for me. He ended up stopping at 62 yards unfortunately my range finder was having some issues and said 52 yards and then 62 yards. So I went with the first reading and shot under him. He ran up the hill a short ways and started back towards the does. He stopped broadside at 75.5 yards and I drilled him he ran about 75-80 yards and expired. One of my biggest bucks to date. It was awesome my dad and brother came and helped me load him and got him to the house to show my daughters before there party. 

I got this tag also as a leftover and I know the area really well. We spent the first day and a half trying to find some big deer. With no luck i went up looking for my bull. My dad and I created a hill in the dark timber and saw a really nice 6 pt. It was so thick that I could not find a lane. The next morning my cousin and I went up in the same general area after a snow storm and man the elk were on fire. Finally found a herd and could only find this 4pt bull and I was looking for something bigger but heck I love elk meat so I took the shot. He made it 10 yards and the pack out was on. We almost sealed the deal on a nice Muley for him that evening but ran out of light. 

Went out on my first muzzleloader hunt for antelope. My buddy called and said he had a good buck spotted so hauled my butt out there after work. After getting geared up we were on our way. we got to the property and this buck had only 6 does with him. we got to about 80 yards and I missed the first shot(lot harder then I thought with open sights). by the time we got in front of him and got another shot we had about 30 minutes of shooting light left as the sun had just set. we knocked him down at about 90 yards. bad pictures we ran out of light.

I had some buddies of mine that drew a bear tag here in Colorado and I was just gonna go with them as a pack mule. Fortunately there was some leftover tags that people turned in. We went down a day early to look around and found some elk and 1 bear. Opening morning we went out and saw about 5 bears that morning. That evening was a little slow until we were on our way to another location to glass and we came around a corner and this bear was on his way up the mountain. We stopped and I took off running after he made it over a little ridge. I topped the ridge and there he was walking away from me. I stopped and shot. Missed right over him crap!!!! He disappeared for a minute and then he reappeared heading straight up the mountain. I sat down got a solid rest and hollered at him he stopped and boom. Down he went and the rolling down started. Couldn’t be more happy with this brute. We had a great 4 days hunting tagging 4 bears out of 5. Can’t wait to go back. 

My boys and I pulled this off last year.  All three in the same piece of our property within an hour and a half of each other .  A day that will be forgotten. 

So it had been 6-7 years since my dad and I had a deer tag in our pockets at the same time. So to say we were jacked is an understatement. We started to scout the area every weekend starting in August. We found 5 bucks that were studs. And wouldn’t you know it the weekend before opening day disappeared. Lol of course they did. We went in opening morning in the area we saw them all summer and about 15 minutes after shooting light I hear boom. So I start that way and sure enough dad shot one. I asked how big and he said not sure but he had good back forks. So him and two buddies and I go over the ridge and we see him laying there so dad sets up and hammered him again. As he shot there was 2 other bucks that took off so I payed down and got ready. They stopped and one buddy ranged and said 362 the other told me the bottom one is the better of the two. I took the shot and he took 5 steps and down he went. Our whole hunt together took an hour. Wouldn’t change that day shooting both our bucks within 300 yards of one another. The third buck is a buddy that showed up the next morning and only had a day to hunt and just wanted meat so bam. 

took this buck at 32 yards when him and about 3 other antelope walked up and started drinking. it was the 2nd day in the blind and second time I picked up my bow in two days. the other time they came in hot and I couldn't stop them.

Went down to go hunt with a buddy that has an outfitting business and he didn't have any turkey hunters that spring. So a buddy and I went down and of course it starts snowing and we went out that Saturday and the birds had shut down there talking. we went back out Sunday morning and they were on fire as they say. we found 5 toms but they were not coming in. so we got to where we thought they were going and here they came I shot the first one that stopped and my buddy took off and caught up with them and knocked a second one down.

We chased this buck for seven years before it all came together. We tried tree stands, blinds, and spot and stalk. Everything we did he always out smarted us. Finally one day we seen a buck chasing a doe along an old county line road and we knew where they usually crossed so I jumped out and got behind the only cover available a small yucca plant. Sure enough for came running by at 25 yards and with his head down he went by I drew and grunted at him. He stopped and our journey was over. 

You're dominating Gametiks at the moment. Let us know what new features you'd like to see us implement.

Right Jason thanks will do. I have had a lot of free time these last few days

I drew this Elk tag and did a ton of scouting plus I have hunted the unit since I started hunting so I knew it really well. My dad and I found this wallow years ago and swore we would hunt it the next time we drew. we did two different times and learned how to hunt it better. So I went in and hung a trail camera in June when it was opened up. I was getting a lot of good bulls coming in. so in early August I went in and hung a tree stand on the wallow. opening day I went in about 1pm and changed clothes and settled in. about 3-6 elk were coming through just not coming to the wallow never saw any of the big bulls and about 6:30 I got rained out. I geared back up and went back in a little earlier around 12pm. Again changed clothes and was ready for the rain and long haul.about 5 I had a couple spikes and cows walk with in 10 yards and boy was that tempting.around 6-6:30 I heard something to my right and saw some cows messing around and when I looked back this bull was standing at the edge of the wallow.Already having ranged the spots I knew he was 17 yards. He looked away I drew back and put my 20 yard pin on his heart. I watched my lumenok bury in there. he jumped and ran off and watched him fall 40 yards off. I was ecstatic as I was walking up to him I tried calling my dad and knowing I didn't have service just hoping it would go through. wouldn't you know it the call went through and I got to talk to my dad as I walked up to him and the call was clear as day. So I took this time to say hey I am gonna need help in the a.m. getting him out lol. I tried calling my wife nothing. So I got back to camp after quartering him up and hanging him in a tree about 12 a.m. I met a super cool guy that weekend that I still talk to to this day. he was planning on leaving about mid afternoon as it was his bday and wedding anniversary but when I didn't show up he stuck around to make sure I was ok. Dad and my uncle and cousin showed up the next morning and we made a quick trip in and got him out in one trip.

I went down with the same friend and sat in the blind for about 1 hour and had 7 bucks come in and this guy stopped at 17 yards and I drove it home. he went about 80 yards and dropped. spent the rest of the 4 days hanging out with a friend from church and he shot a great buck and another friend that I met from New Hampshire. he unfortunately missed 3 times. 

about 5 guys from my church including booked a hunt to go shoot hogs in Oklahoma. we went out there in May and I only had 1 maybe 2 days to hunt and then I had to be back for work and then my sisters graduation from college. I drove through the night and got there about 8 in the morning. We had an orientation and picked cards for which stands we are gonna be in. We got in our stands about 4 and it was really slow at first. I had some whitetail does come in and then some turkeys. about 6:30 pm I had a group of pigs come in and I picked the one that was a orangish color and biggest. he broke away at about 32 yards and I let him have it and could see the blood pumping out. it was a great hunt and everyone killed a pig by day two. three the first night.

We were on a mission to get a big bobcat. So we were hitting it hard. So we were calling spots were we have been seeing some and had trail camera pics of them. So we were actually driving to our next stand and seen what we thought was a coyote and turned out  it was mr bobcat. We ran around and got in front of him and he was still running and I rolled him at 125 yards. he was 43" from tail to nose. they don't even make a mold for a bobcat this big it was an awesome experience. 

We went in after a big heavy 4 pt that made this deer look like his bases were 2". after a failed stock the deer followed the does in the wrong direction. we were walking back to the truck and we seen a doe pop out and seen some movement behind him. We believe that this buck thought that we were another buck and he started our way. after about 5 minutes here he was walked out in the perfect window and shot him at 40 yards. he ran about 100 yards and expired. the cool part was this buck died within 200 yards of the one the year prior.

I met a guy and started talking about hunting and next thing you know he invites me down to hunt his land for Antelope archery season. I went down there for 5 days and had some close encounters but I was told that there was a lot of big bucks down here and to be patient. I was doing my best but I like to eat meat. I picked up my bow each day and was told to put it down. so the 5th day came and went and no antelope he says well can you come back next week? I said well sure. So on my 6th day with him I have a really nice buck come in but hung up at 50yds and I took the shot and shot under him. about an hour later as I'm still sitting there kicking myself I look out the back window and have an even bigger buck coming in. he walked and and gave me a slight quartering to shot at 22 yards. I put it right through his heart and he didn't make it out of the watering hole area.

Killed this big but unique mullet during the rut. he was chasing a group of does and we got in front of him set up in some trees. my hunting partner was filming this whole thing. as he came around he stopped at 27 yards. I drew back and my arrow got stuck in the rest holder. so when the rest came up it popped off the rest. so at full draw as the deer were trying to figure out what all the commotion wasI turned the bow upside down at full draw and got the arrow back on the rest flipped it back upright and settled the pin and dropped him. shot was a little high so I knocked another arrow and finished him off.

So after not having a rifle tag for about 5 years my hunting partner and I decided to burn our points and go after so big antelope. We scouted all summer and we found the two bucks we were gonna target. one we called wing man cause he was super wide and the other we called wow cause that was the first words out of our mouths when we saw him. So we went out looking for them opening morning and found both goats and they had crossed the road. so after about an hour of tracking the landowner down. We were back after them. as we got back to the wow buck there was two trucks pulled over and getting ready to shoot from the road. we pulled up and had to yell at them before pulling the trigger. there reasoning was no one is gonna care if we shoot that antelope. after sending them on there way we made a stock and boom my partner missed this buck luckily had no idea where the shot came from. him and the herd ran up the hill and stopped at 300 yards and down he went. Next we moved onto wingman and we go one hill passed him and get ready and as we are walking off I realized that I left the keys in the truck. So we walk back and start the process of trying to break in and wouldn't you know it the alarm goes off. lol we finally got in and shut that off and got the keys. we went to see if he was still therefor hopes weren't high but to our surprise he was still laying there. We sneak up to about 270 yards and put the shooting sticks down and wait for him to stand up. after about 20 minutes he stands up and I shoot and he falls right back down. we were done by 11 a.m. that morning another great hunt.

Nice story.   Seems they both lived life to the fullest and you should be proud to be a part of it.        Thanks for sharing.        Who were you hunting with in Maine or what outfitter should I say?        My boys have both guided bear hunters in Eagles and in Portage.   My son, Andrew Gibbs, owns and operates Marsh River Outfitters and is just getting started on his own after working for others the last few years. 

It was with Western Maine Outfitters his name was Don Murdock

Nice,  I will try to reach out to him about creating an Outfitter profile on Gametiks.  

So my hunting buddy and I went on a bear hunt to Maine. It was a hunt that we would never forget. We got there never hunting bear again and not knowing what to expect. We got in really late/early morning in September. We woke up about 8 and shot our bows and he gave us the run down and introduced us to everyone. There was a dad and son that were there and he was just a cool young man. the son was in a wheelchair. after talking to his dad he had been diagnosed with dwarfism and has been in a wheel chair his whole life. He had taken 3-4 bears before this year so he was a pro compared to us. Well the first day we had 3 cubs come in and that was it. the next day my buddy shot a really nice bear that turned out was shot before and just barely missed his spine. The next day we sat in a spot that no one had sat yet and I was jacked. the bait barrel had been knocked over and strung out.The next day we went out to the same spot and again barrel was knocked over. it wasn't long and I looked to my left and saw this big ol blob of black and knew it was a shooter. it took him about 10 minutes to make it to the barrel and I didn't let him hit the barrel. Mostly cause we seen trail camera videos of this bear and others come in and grab food and leave. So he stepped into the shooting window and quartering await 20 yards and see ya. the tracking job was like no other blood was unreal but the forest got so thick that it was a little Erie feeling. We didn't see him until we were 2 ft from him. 2 years after the hunt the guy we hunted with died of a Brian tumor and the next year the kid died from his disease. it was super hard since then I have hunted with the kids dad every year out here in Colorado.

We were hunting these bucks hard and it was right at the end of the rut and bucks were still trying to find some does that were hot. We went out this morning with not high hopes as the wind was blowing 25-35 MPH so we knew we would have to be close. we seen a really nice buck and he went into a bowl with about 10 does. we got out and went after him we found ourselves on a fence line that was lined with tumble weeds. next thing we know there was 3-4 bucks chasing all these does around. the first buck to present an shot opportunity I took he stopped and looked away from us at about 14 yards and I hit him perfectly and he only ran 40 yards.

First archery elk. She was running down the mountain when I was walking up. I grunted at her she stopped at 24yds and that was all she wrote. Only a mile from camp as the crow flies. We drug her out whole. 

this was my ever upland bird hunt and my buddy and I knocked a couple chukar down

Chased this buck and 5 others for about 2 weeks until this one finally gave me a shot at 72 yards. I put a decent shot on him and he ran 150 yards and piled up. my brother and good friend were there with me to do the recovery this was my 2nd archery mule deer.
