A Mountain of Bulls

You won't believe what I was able to find this year.

Buster the Bull

This is a nice bull I found on my trail cameras and scouting trip.

Elk & Pronghorn Scouting (June 2016)

This is an improved version of the original Fields of Green.

Fields of Green (Elk & Pronghorn)

Here is a video summary of my first scouting trip this year. I found lots of animals in wide open green fields.  I hung a few trail cameras which I will be checking on the 4th of July.  I was quite impressed that there were so many animals out in the middle of the day.  The cow elk and their calves started coming out of the woods around 9:00 AM and spending the whole day out in the open fields.  It was quite a site.

This is a wonderful video of a family that started a bow shop.  It is a must see.

Elk Calf Release

Published on Jun 10, 2013

Quentin Kujala takes his turn at returning a newly radio-tagged elk calf to its mother in the Upper Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana. Quentin is the Wildlife Management Section Chief for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) who, with others, directed that FWP investigate the causes of elk mortality where calf survival rates had plummeted. Thus, the Bitterroot Elk Study began in 2011, under the direction of FWP research biologist, Dr. Kelly Proffitt, and in partnership with The University of Montana and Dr. Mark Hebblewhite. Radioed elk calves that were born in 2011 had a high mortality rate, with predation by mountain lions, black bears and wolves the leading cause of mortality. Radioed calves born in 2012 suffered lower mortality, and predation—primarily by mountain lions—remained the leading cause. This video shot by FWP biologist, Jay Kolbe, documents the start of the third and final year of study this month; a compact radio tag is visible in the ear of the calf. FWP is grateful to numerous donors and organizations for their critical financial contributions to the project, and for the support of landowners and the community at large, which made this research possible.

The Real Wolf

I found a great book on the realities of living with wolves and how we got to where we are today.  Every outdoorsman and rancher should have a copy of this and have a working knowledge of what it contains.  I have just started reading it and am already very impressed with the level of detail that it contains.  This is a must read!

You can find it on Amazon.  Here is a link:

Wolf encounter or attempted attack?

I sure wouldn't want wolves that close to any kid.



When wolves get hungry they will even eat their own kind. How can you expect them to pass on the easy targets (sheep, goats, calves , dogs, kids)?
