    These are paintings my son Blake has done. I have to admit, I love them all and think it is very cool we have an artist in the family.

Buffalo County Monster

I wish I could claim this amazing monster rack as part of our QDM success, but I cannot. This beauty was shot in Buffalo County, Wisconsin. Anyone who knows anything about big whitetails is familiar with the reputation of Buffalo County. Buffalo County is dominated by private land and QDM programs.

Buffulo county big buck 110408 

My sister and her family live in the Mondovi area and there are always stories of big bucks. This is a very rural area of the country and they grow some dandy whitetails. Congratulations to Bob Decker of Eau Claire, Wisonsin. From here on out this rack, this mount, will be known as the "Decker Deer". Hmmmm, must be nice!

Congradulations to Mr. Decker. A local hunter who has owned and hunted the property for quite awhile. He was featured on Northland Adventures the other night and clearly has his priorities straight. When he hunts, his goal is to kill a mature whitetail buck. He really doesn't care if this buck is a record or not. He and his partner take disabled hunters out and his partner says Mr. Decker works hard at his hunting. The right kind of guy to get this deer.

2008 Colorado Elk Hunt

  • V.
    These are pictures from our 2008 muzzle loader elk hunt. We had great weather and the elk were active.

Mt. Zirkel Wilderness - Gilpin/Gold Creek Lake

  • 9.97
    The Mt. Zirkel Wilderness area is a spectacular area north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. That means it's about 4 hours from the Denver area, but based on the beauty of this trip, we will be back. We entered at the popular and accessible Slavonia Trail Head. One interesting point is that the description "popular" is a relative thing. Popular usage for this area is comparable to "moderate" usage for areas closer to Denver.

Routt National Forest - North Fork Fly Fishing

  • 8. Brookies
    These photos are of my fly fishing trip to the North Fork of the Elk River. Prepare yourself for unusual beauty in this "burn" area of the Routt National Forest.

Indian Peaks - Betty/Bob Lake - High Mnt. Fishing

  • 2.3 Mountain Yellow
    The Indian Peaks Wilderness area is beautiful and accessible. The Hesse Trailhead serves as access to a tremendous amount of hikers. One word of caution is that you need a permit to camp in this area. Permits are only available at the Boulder Ranger Staion and the Ace Hardware in Nederland.

Gore Range - Wheeler/Lost Lake - High Mnt Fishing

  • 3. Wheeler Lake Trail sign
    The Wheeler Lake / Lost Lake trip is a scenic trip that is rated as "more difficult" by the Dillon Ranger District. I would rate it as moderate to Wheeler (+1400 ft in three miles) and pretty easy to Lost Lake.

Gore Range - Boulder Lake - High Mountain Fishing

  • I. Just the three of us
    This was an overnight trip into the Gore Range's Lower Boulder Lake from the Rock Creek Trailhead. We did not leave the Rock Creek Trailhead until just after 8:30 p.m. Approximately 1 mile from the Rock Creek Trailhead and on the Gore Range Trail, you will come to a beautiful open meadow with water (at least there was plenty of water on June 21st). As you wind around the meadow and up the trail on the other side, there are very good places to camp above the meadow in the pine forest. This camp left us with only 1.75 miles left to Boulder Lake.
