Heather takes a big buck on Tarbone Ranch

As the sun was taking its time peaking over the horizon this cold morning, Heather and Ken were straining their eyes to see if this was the buck for her. With glimpse of points, anxiety set in.

Heather has been dreaming of this day for a while now. The drive from Texas and all the buck talk from boyfriend Dave Fulson created anticipation to the max.

The buck green scored at 152".

That's a lot of Antler!

Looks like he had a heavy last meal of Ken's alfalfa.

Heather and her deadly .300 RCM Ruger. She put this buck down with one shot.

Dave is one happy man to see his woman make an excellent shot.

Ken was very happy to have Zero blood trail. The buck dropped in his tracks.

Moxy had to head check the big buck too.

Dave, Heather and Ken

Heather used a Bog Pod XSR to maintain a steady shot.

The scales hit the bottom. This big boy weighed in at 215 pounds.

Heather's buck was big in lots of ways.

Can't say this girl can't shoot because she CAN!!!!!

Happy Guide!! Happy Shooter!!

Full load!

More Bison bulls home on Tarbone

We were at the Wichita Mountain Bison Auction today and thanks to Randy Hale things went smoothly.

Don Armes loaned us his cattle trailer for hauling the buffalo. Dinner's on us..:)

It looks to be an Indian Summer.

We had just a touch of frost last night, so color is on the way.

Down the grassy knoll and to the woods they go.

Ken letting our new bison bulls out. I stayed in the truck and watched ..call me chicken!

Good hunt on Tarbone Ranch

After sighting in their guns Robert and Dale were pretty anxious to do some hunting.

Robert came with high hopes of taking a management buck from the ranch. And he did just that!

Nice buck Robert! One you can be proud of for sure...:)

Dale told us that he likes to make his own elk venison jerky. The steaks are pretty good too. They brought some summer sausage with jalapenos in it.. It was the best I've ever had!

Dale said that sleeping in the cabin with the windows open, they heard the elk bugling all night. That didn't seem to stop him in the morning. He made the perfect shot on this cow elk.

Because of knowledge of deer and elk management on Tarbone Ranch, Ken is able to show a hunter the trophy he is looking for.
