Summer Scouting Photos Contest

Founder · Jul 11, 2022

Let's see some of your 2022 Summer Scouting Photos.
It's time to get out there in the woods to look over bucks, bulls, rams, billy goats and more. Let's see some of what you're finding!

We'll run the photo contest for a month or so and then I'll pick a couple of the best/fun pics as winners. You all can use likes to help me decide.

The contest prizes will be a Phone Skope Kit for 1st place and Pyro Putty and an Arch Lighter for 2nd place. Thanks to the folks at Phone Skope for the gear! If you don't already own the a Phone Skope, then get over to their site and get one......that is if you don't win one here! It's a valuable piece of gear to have with you for helping to preserve your hunting and scouting adventures.

One of the bigger bucks I found on general season public land, so far this year…and it’s collared.

ridgetops · Jul 11, 2022

Here's some nice bulls I got a picture of a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what was going on with the exposure of my camera but this picture turned out pretty cool.

ridgetops · Jul 11, 2022

I'm guessing this cow is hinting to back of a little or be prepared for a butt whooping!

Thanks. That little dude was definitely the star of the show yesterday, I was just lucky enough to be hanging around with a camera. I’ll stick a couple more of him in the ODW pic-a-day thread soon.

ridgetops · Jul 17, 2022

Now that I've got my general any bull tag in hand.
I can start dreaming about this bad boy.
He's going to be a monster!

ridgetops · Jul 17, 2022

He's another one that I'd love to put my tag on.
He looks like he's going to be a giant 5 point.

SanJuan · Jul 18, 2022

Played peekaboo with this guy on July 17th. Looks like a late bloomer to me.

He has several kickers you can't see in this pic. I'm stoked to see what he looks like in a month.

Fun little buck with the genetics to be something special someday……if he can survive.

Barely peaked over the ridge and BAM, I was busted.

JakeH · Jul 29, 2022

Named this buck TRIDENT.

Sherlock · Jul 31, 2022

From a couple hikes and a long ways off, found a few bucks on my UT general season, public land area. Nothing huge and a lot of 3-point genetics, though #5 was pretty good even though couldn’t get great pics of him. Just amazed there is anything bigger than a forky on UT general areas:

A couple shooter rams from my sheep unit that my Dad & I glassed up while scouting this weekend

BackcountryRob · Aug 1, 2022

Top of the hit list so far. Which would be your #1?

HntHrdr · Aug 2, 2022

Anyone hunting downtown golden, I have a heck of a buck for you

BrowningRage · Aug 2, 2022

Hey HntHrdr- Stud buck.! Can you get a blindfold on him and bring him on over to Utah?

There's probably an instructional video on how to do that on the WLH website...

pounder · Aug 3, 2022

Only thing missing is the Garden gnome in the background with a bow

PRCnut · Aug 7, 2022

JakeH · Aug 12, 2022

Here is a big buck I have a little history with. My buddy had a tag last year and almost got a shot at this buck, he was a 4x4 last year and we named him BGB "bucks got backs" this year he didn't fork in the front on one side.

These are the best pictures I got of him last year.
I think he lost quite a bit this year, which is odd because this has been a much better year for antler growth.

MrDoe · Aug 12, 2022

Can we post pictures in this contest after they're dead? Asking for a friend
