Deer Photos from the 2000 hunt

These are the kills but get a complete Success Report of every hunter we had at camp.
Brad Ingram, Redwood Valley, Ca (707)485-7880  killed a big 29 inch timberline muley in a really tough spot.  Heavy beams.  Great buck!  He and Brian could have killed it at 40 yards but they clicked on empty chambers.  By the time they frantically worked the bolts on their rifles, the buck was in high gear.  Finally killed him at 450 yards after firing 16 shots.  Click here to see full size.

Brian Ingram, Redwood Valley, Ca (707)485-7403 killed an absolutely beautiful 27 1/2 inch 6x5.  Brian spotted one antler fork from a mile away by glassing with his spotting scope. Jonesy and Brian put a two hour stalk on it while guide Grant and Brad kept an eye on it.  Brian nailed it to its bed with one spine shot, or the buck would still be rolling.  Fantastic spotting job, tremendous stalk, perfect shot.  Incredible trophy!!  Click here to see full size.

Greer Jones, Driggs, Id (208)354-8592  Killed a tremendous 26 inch buck, heavy and high, in lousy weather of fog and snow.  Passed up bucks of 32”, 27”, 26”.  The 32 incher he passed had very small forks on the back tines and thin horns.  Greer’s 26 incher was a much better buck.

Kevin McDonnell, Galt, Ca (209)745-2744  Killed an average buck.  Direct from Kevin’s notes on the hunt:  “Bucks running everywhere in the high country!... As we rode we got a Kodak moment with 4 bucks standing shoulder to shoulder on a ridge 200 yards above us.  Brian (guide) said “Shoot it!”  I jumped out of the saddle and swung left to the 4x4 on the end.  As I squeezed the trigger, Not-My-Day-Today-Buck turned his head and yelled “They’ve got guns!” and took a round through the side of his neck....  The 4x4 bolted with his other two buddies, shaking his head at his good fortune.”
Kevin, if you will send me a picture I'll put it in here.
