Summer Scouting Photos Contest

[Founder]

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.

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]

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

Great picture Blue!

Great picture Blue!

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]

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]

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.

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.

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

 

[JakeH]

Named this buck TRIDENT.

 

[Sherlock]

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]

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

 

[HntHrdr]

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

 

[BrowningRage]

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]

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

[JakeH]

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]

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

 

[PRCnut]
