We had a great end of the year hunting, with some monster bucks coming in just under the wire, and some great older deer that have eluded us for years finally having their luck run out!
From Left to Right:
Ben Ralston with "The Tongue Deer"... This deer had eluded us for years. Ben finally connected this year. Called "Tongue" because he had damaged a nerve that made his tongue always hang out of his mouth, he gross scored ~187
The women in the second picture here were the two best shots that hunted on the ranch all year, male or female. Sara killed her buck with a shot in a 30mph headwind at over 450 yards and Catherine connected with a Coyote at closer to 500.
Romeo took this beautiful basic 10 point with 3 kickers that grossed ~172. The deer had been seen in years prior and had been somewhat regular, but this year after heavy hunting for several months by five different people Romeo ended up with the prize that had eluded so many.
The Crawfords had another great hunt at the ranch this year. The best deer was taken by Scott. He was a white-faced old 13 pointer that we caught with a doe while cruising around in the top drive.
Congratulations to all these lucky hunters and to everyone else who hunted with us this year!
Happy Hunting!
