W ear SCI Northwest Members,
Well, another hunting season is almost over. I hope you all
had a great time in the outdoors, managed to have some successful
hunts, and bagged some great memories too. A wise man I know says
the only things worth collecting in life are experiences. I get it. My
hunting trophies are great to look at but they are really souvenirs of
great experiences, great venison, and adventures in wild and exotic
places, with friends old and new. Speaking of adventures, we always
want to hear about your hunting experiences. Send you pictures and/
or stories to our webpage and newsletter editors at scinorth‐
west@gmail.com.
Your Chapter continued its hard work even as members got
out of town to hunt and our work has not gone unnoticed. Mike Skin‐
ner, our extremely dedicated webmaster, won SCI’s Chapter Website of
the Year award. Gary Tennison continues to excel in his jobs at multiple
echelons, winning the Regional Representative of the Year award. Both
of these gentlemen will receive their awards on‐stage at the SCI Con‐
vention in Las Vegas in early February. Our Sensory Safari at the Wash‐
ington State School for the Blind was recognized by the Executive Direc‐
tor of the National Federation of the Blind. We also took time to focus
on fun, hunting camaraderie, and Christmas Spirit on our 3 December
trip to the picturesque town of Leavenworth for their Tree Lighting Ceremony.
President’s Message
SCI continued its fight for a good Washington State Wolf Plan, with great help from our allies in the Cattlemen’s
Association and other groups, but we only managed to get some concessions and the Plan was approved in December.
Mark Pidgeon, several members from other SCI Chapters, and I testified multiple times before the Commission in
Ellensburg, Olympia and Spokane. More hunters testifying would have helped. Curiously, I don’t recall hearing anyone
from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation speak in defense of our State’s elk herds.
Our State’s SCI Chapters in partnership with the Yakima Indian Nation, are having great success reintroducing
Pronghorn to our State. The first group of 99 Pronghorn already released on the Yakama Reservation, dispersed well, had
a high birthrate, and high survival this year. The Central Washington SCI Chapter earned SCI’s Diamond Conservation
Award for bringing this program from “great idea’ to “goats on the ground.” Shikar Safari Club has again contributed a
large sum to enable the purchase of more “goats” from Nevada for likely release in February. Your Chapter is currently
helping this effort by giving money to buy radio collars for these new Pronghorn.
Now is the time we focus hard on getting ready for the 37th Annual SCI Northwest Chapter Banquet and Fund‐
raiser. You have been receiving info on the upcoming Banquet for a couple of months now. As you know, it will be at the
larger Airport Hilton this year with special guests, outdoor celebrities: Jim and Louise Shockey. We have more seats this
year so I ask each of you to bring along a hunting friend or two. I’m sure you all know a friend who hunts that needs to
come learn about what SCI does for hunting and have a good time. If you buy your tickets before 31 January; you will save
$10 and get a free ticket for the drawing for the Kimber rifle.
Sincerely,
LTC Harris “Chip” Emmons
President

Message from the Editor:
Happy New Year! Welcome back from your hunting endeavors. I hope you had a
wonderful hunting season and I look forward to hearing from you with your stories and
pictures. If any of you have pictures and/or stories from childhood hunting trips, I
would love to have them. Humor is also appreciated. I hope you are all able to live

By Gary Tennison
I hope everyone had a great hunting season this year and
that you are already planning for next season. I had a great
year and between Saskatchewan, Wyoming, Colorado and
Washington I was able to take two bull elk, two Deer and two
antelope.
Congratulations are in order for some region one
chapter accomplishments. The Central Washington Chapter
has won the Diamond Conservation Award for 2011 for their
tremendous efforts to reintroduce antelope back into the state.
They have worked very hard to make this happen and thanks
to them and others antelope once again roam the hills of
Washington. Only one Diamond Conservation award is given
each year. It is the highest award presented to any chapter
and Central Washington SCI is very deserving, well done!
Congratulations also to the Northwest Chapter and
Mike Skinner for winning the best web page award in category
three. That happens to be the biggest category with the
toughest competition, and Mike and the chapter is very deserving
as well.
These awards will be presented to the chapters during
the Wednesday night dinner event February 1st at the National
Convention in Las Vegas and will include the Regional
Representative of the year award that I have won. This award
is presented to me but it really belongs to the entire region.
The interaction, cooperation and camaraderie shared throughout
the entire Region One is second to none. I feel it is a privilege
to represent and work with so many really great friends
and SCI supporters.
Lastly as most of you know I was elected to the SCI
National Executive Committee as a vice president at the May
board meeting in Washington D.C. This position brings along
a few extra duties to help fill my idle time!

Region #1 banquet season is getting into full swing. By the
time you read this, Central Washington Chapter’s banquet
(December 03) will be over. I plan to be there again this year.
The Northwest SCI Chapter and the Sportsmen for
Conservation Foundation (February 24-25) will be at a new
location this year. They will be at the Seattle Hilton Airport
Conference Center directly across the street from the airport.
This will be a two day event and will feature Jim and Louise
Shockey as their guest speaker.
Inland Empire Chapter’s banquet will be held at the
Mirabeau Park Hotel in Spokane on February 11 th. They will
Feature Mike Rogers Jr. as their guest. Mike is the producer of
SCI’s Expedition Safari TV show.
I will be at that banquet as well as the Seattle Puget
Sound Banquet. Their banquet will again be a two day event
held February 17 th and 18 th at the Bellevue Meydenbauer Center.
They partner with the Wild Sheep Foundation, WWC, and
the Seattle Sportsmen Conservation Foundation, all of whom
will be at this two day event.
The Southwest Washington Chapter has gone all out
this year. Their banquet will feature LT/Colonel Oliver North
USMC (RET) as their speaker. They are expecting a huge
crowd this year at the Vancouver Hilton Convention Center
on May 5 th.
The Columbia Basin Chapter will meet at the Red
Lion in Pasco on February 11 th for their annual banquet and
fundraiser. Their banquet has gotten bigger and better each
year, try to attend if at all possible and make it even better by
you being there.
I have not gotten any date or location for the Pacific
Rim Washington chapter at this time, but their chapter contact
information is listed below for any information.
Please try to attend not only the banquet hosted by
your home chapter but any other that you can. It is always fun
and interesting to see how other chapter banquets are done.
Your attendance and support is not only very welcome, it is
vital to each chapter to help fund all of their projects that
make SCI what it is. I try to make them all.
On the National level SCI is also in high gear preparing
for the largest hunting convention in North America. I
will be in Las Vegas this year on February 1-4. While at the
convention you will want to make sure you attend the
“Advanced Fundraising Seminar” put on by Kim Rappley
and his field coordinators staff. Those of you that missed it
last year not only missed out on a great seminar, but a chance
to win some really good prizes. This is a great opportunity for
not only Chapter Presidents but all Chapter members as well
to learn some fundraising ideas that really work well. I will be
there as always, and I certainly hope to see you there as well.

Gary Christensen, past president of the Central WA Chapter has sung
the praises of Pine Mountain Outfitters to me for a long time. He has hunted with
Joe Hardesty, owner of Pine Mt. Outfitters on several occasions taking 3 huge elk
that all scored over 400 SCI points including one massive 10 x 10 point bull that
scored 470 2/8.
Last year at the Inland Empire Chapter Banquet in Spokane, Joe and Gary
teamed up to make me an offer for a 370 to 390 class bull that I just couldn’t refuse.
My arm was not twisted too bad as I got to go on the first hunt, ride all the way to
Saskatchewan with Gary, Glenn Wallingford and Gary’s Son Brandon our primary
driver, chauffer, and deer hunter. Plus they did not even laugh when I said I was
going to bring my muzzleloader!
Glenn was making his third trip to Pine Mt. At age 83. He shot his first
ever elk there just three years earlier at age 80! Gary’s other (and smarter) son
Justin was going to fly up and meet us all at the lodge. He and his brother Brandon
Were only going to hunt White Tailed deer.
On day two of our travels, we arrived in camp just in time for lunch.
Soon after we had all of our hunting gear situated in our cabins and planned to look
over the ranch, see some elk, and prepare a plan for the morning hunt. I asked
Gary the dumb question of the day, “should I even bring my muzzleloader with me?” Gary suggested that I should bring it just in case.
I have shot several elk in my 50 plus years of hunting, but nothing like the very first elk we saw. It was a heavy 6x6 point in the
375 plus class. I thought about my muzzleloader in its case in the back of the truck as we watched this elk in some thick timber. My
second question was can we find this elk again tomorrow as we slowly drove away.
www.scinw.com
Saskatchewan Elk Hunt By Gary Tennison
It was not long before I had forgotten about trying to find that elk again tomorrow. We soon found a herd of five or six bulls
that were just as big, and some even bigger. Some of the elk were on the edge of a thick patch of timber giving us a good view of their
head gear; others were deeper into the trees and hard to judge. We looked them over as best we could while they were milling about
in the timber. It was nearly impossible to figure which one I would have shot if they were all standing broadside in the open and I had
thirty minutes to make up my mind. As the elk all disappeared deeper into the timber none of us ever did reach a concession as to
which one was the biggest of the big.
Less than an hour later we came into an open clearing and saw four huge bulls feeding. Even though they were all big bulls one
of them stood out from the rest. You just don’t often see and elk rack that is super heavy with 7x9 points and 13 inch bases. I knew
that even though this was our “scouting trip,” it was time to uncase my muzzleloader.
I loaded up and made a short stalk to a rock pile and got ready for a shot. The elk appeared to be unconcerned as they slowly
fed further away with each step. Naturally the bull I wanted was the furthest away at just over one hundred yards and standing in line
and behind one of the other bulls. After about two hours or perhaps closer to five minutes the bull I wanted was in the open and I took
my shot. When the smoke cleared I could see the three other bulls running off while the bull I had just shot stood still in his tracks and
as stiff as a statue, but only for few seconds before he went down.
My elk scored 388 2/8 and Gary Christensen took a bull that was 62 inches wide that scored over 400 SCI points. Gary’s sons
both shot big White Tailed deer while Glenn shot just what he wanted for meat, a big fat elk cow.
Joe Hardesty of Pine Mountain Outfitters has agreed to bring his booth and hunting info to our banquet in February. He is also
going to donate an elk hunt for our banquet auction. Joe’s camp is all run by generator but has comfortable cabins, great food, hot
showers, and plenty of big elk.

The Bear Facts
ll through my adult hunting life, I heard stories of how the
A timber companies had a CARTE BLANCHE license to kill any
and all bears at any time of the year if the bears were on their
private tree farm property. I have learned that its just not true.
My education on this matter started about two years ago when I
came in contact with two professional hounds‐men by the name
of Tony and Brian Cebe. Tony had a contract with the Weyer‐
haeuser Timber Co. to control problem bears on their tree farm.
As I understood it, the reason the state of Washington started the
bear predation program was due to the fact that bears belong to
citizens of the state and thus the state was responsible for damage
done to private property and in this case, its timber company
trees.
Unfortunately for the citizens of the state, the damage to privately
owned tree farms could run into millions of dollars each year so
there had to be a better way to control the bears and to lesson the
damage and save the taxpayers money. At the same time the
state had to make sure that the bears were not over harvested.
There had to be a balance, so over the years with the cooperation
of the of the timber companies this plan came into being . I am
sure that the plan didn’t start as smooth as it is now and had to be
“tweaked” over the years.
10
First, when the bears come out of hibernation in the spring they
are HUNGRY so they start feeding on grasses and skink cabbage
etc. However, since bears have a sweet tooth, they soon turn to
the tree bark of young fir trees.
If you have gone into the woods in the spring where there are fir
trees with the age group being 15 to 18 years old, you would no‐
tice the new growth of various lengths on the tips of each branch.
The color is BRIGHT green at the tips and closer to the trunk the
color gets a darker green. You can even see this variation in limb
color if you take a ride on any county road where there are fir
trees.
Now comes the situation with the interaction of bear and trees.
To feed the new growth, the tree will send sugars and carbohy‐
drates up through the bark. This provides a tantalizing sweet
tasty sap, at least to the bears.
Here in lies the problem because the bears know about this mor‐
sel of sap and can probably smell it when its at the best to feed
on. The bears start to strip and chew the bark around the tree.
This process is called “girdling” and kills the tree. This process will
start around April and continue through July. In late June or early
July, the huckleberries, salmon berries and black berries have
started to ripen and the sap has diminished a bit, so the bears
have a change of diet . With the same sweet tooth, they hit the
berries.
With a mind of good stewardship for the animals as well as their
trees, the first thing some timber companies do is put out large
feeding cans in various spots through out their farms with a spe‐
cial food containing grains, molasses and other ingredients to sat‐
isfy the bear’s hunger as well as his sweet tooth. Now this works
until a big nasty male bear stakes his claim on one of the cans and
creates havoc on any of the younger bears who try to get near the
food cans. The younger bears have to find food else where and of
course the fir trees have that tasty tree bark and sap available for
their needs.

Still at this point, the timber companies do not have permission to
start killing bears on their tree farms. First the company has to
identify by GPS readings of at least 30 trees in any one plot that
are dead due to bears. These dead trees are called “RED FLAGS”
because they stand out as a definite red against the other green
trees.
These GPS readings are sent to the game dept for identification
and if the dame dept thinks its warranted, they will issue one,
maybe two permits for that particular area to kill the problem
bears. When a bear is killed another GPS reading is taken at the
kill site and then the bear is tagged and the information is re‐
ported on the permit paper and all paper work is sent out to the
game dept for verification.
While hunting , not all bears are killed when run by dogs. If it’s a
smart old bear and has experience with hounds, he will outsmart
the dogs and live to run another day or just leave that part of the
country. Another way a bear eludes the hounds is to run off the
timber company’s property so the chase will be over and you and
your hounds will have to go home. I personally have been on
three different chases over a period of time before only one bear
was taken. We run bears each time we go, and this proves each
hunt is not a slam dunk.
Now you can see how myself as well as many others can be mis‐
taken on how the timber companies just want to kill all bears. I
feel they do their part to lesson the impact on killing bears with
feeding cans. I also feel that I have been fortunate to be able to
go along on these chases to get this education on how this “BEAR
DEPREDATION” program works for the state of Washington as well
as the timber companies.
I cannot speak for all timber companies in the state because my
experience has only been with Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., but its
impressive to see their system that they and the state have in
place for bear control.
11
Once the bear is killed, the meat and the tagged hide and skull
along with the gall bladders are stored in freezers until the end of
the permitted time which is around the fourth of July.
When the season is over, I get a call from the professional hounds‐
man to pick up the mead which I take to a licensed butcher for
processing. This meat is ground into hamburger and put into two
lbs. plastic containers for easy distribution in small quantities. I
deliver the frozen meat to the Food Life Line in Seattle for distribu‐
tion through their 125 outlets. The other parts of the bear are
handled by someone else in the state system.
For over two years, the Seattle Puget Sound Chapter of SCI
through my participation as a board member, has been involved in
this project to help feed the hungry. We as a chapter in coopera‐
tion with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company have been responsi‐
ble for delivering over 1,304 pounds of processed game meat to
help feed the hungry in the state of Washington.
If you would like more information on donating meat to those in
need, please contact the Northwest Chapter’s Sportsmen Against
Hunger Chair ‐ James Endress at 253‐222‐1414 for more informa‐
tion.

National News
�� Safari Club International’s (SCI) 40 th Annual Hunters’ Convention, taking place February 1-4 th , 2012, is on
pace to be the most successful Convention in the history of the organization. SCI member registrations are 20%
ahead of 2011’s convention to date and SCI will be bringing 13% more exhibitors than in any other year. The
total convention exhibit hall is over 50% larger than in 2011, offering over one million square feet of the
world’s most spectacular hunts, finest guns and greatest taxidermy.
�� Since 2010, SCI has been involved in defending against a case brought by In Defense of Animals (“IDOA”) to
challenge the Bureau of Land Management’s gather of about 1,800 wild horses and burros in the Twin Peaks
Horse Management Area in northeast California/northwest Nevada. IDOA’s preliminary attempt to halt the
gather failed and the BLM successfully gathered the horses. Now, SCI is fighting IDOA’s efforts to have the
gather declared illegal and the gathered horses returned to the range. On December 8, 2011, SCI filed a substantive
brief in defense of the gather. SCI will file another brief in late January and attend a court hearing in
Sacramento on February 23, 2012.
�� December 5 th marked the start of New Jersey’s black bear hunting season. As they promised, anti-hunting organizations
within the state held protests at various game and fish check stations, but it appears that the protests
involved only a handful of people. SCI went on the record on Fox News to fight for sportsmen and women,
hunting and the conservation of New Jersey’s wildlife.

Chapter Highlight
NW Chapter Display Attracting National Attention
By: Mike Price
The NW Chapter’s Sensory Safari Display at the Washington State School for the Blind in Vancouver, Washington,
has received attention and compliments from the Executive Director of the National Federation of the Blind.
To quote Dean Stenehjem, the Superintendent at the WSSB, “The person from NFB (Mark Riccobonno) is the key
person at the national office in Baltimore ‐‐ he was extremely impressed with the work that Safari Club NW Chapter did with
Sensory Safari and has requested information on how they can duplicate the sound system. The display is still getting a fair
amount of visitors and everyone is blown out of the water by the displays. Once again, thanks for your continued support of
blind/ visually impaired children.”
If you have not seen the fantastic display yet, the school is open weekdays and they will allow you to tour the room
any time. The address of the WSSB, which is only about 1/2 mile off I‐5, is 2214 E. 13th Street, Vancouver, WA 98661. Any
questions, contact me at 253.630.0258, or e‐mail mspricekent@hotmail.com.

j olf Plan Update and Legislative News
On December 3, 2011 the Wildlife Commission adopted a Wolf Conservation and Management Plan for the State of
Washington with some significant changes from the plan as it was originally presented to the Commission. The original
plan as presented was totally unacceptable to the hunting community.
First, and I believe most significantly, is that changes were made where the time to state delist wolves were short‐
ened. Once wolves hit 15 breeding pairs, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), could start the delist‐
ment process, although it could not be presented to the Commission or adopted until wolves hit 15 breeding pairs for three
consecutive years. This is a change from the original plan where the delistment process could not even start until after
there were 15 breeding pairs for three consecutive years. This change will save two years from when wolves could be state
delisted from the original plan. Another significant change is that if wolves hit 18 breeding pairs wolves can be state de‐
listed.
Another big concern about the plan as originally presented was inadequate reaction time to declining ungulate
populations. Changes where made where WDFW could address declines in ungulate populations more quickly. Changes
where also made in the distribution of the number of breeding pair in the three wolf recovery regions that weren’t as
rigid. Also increased uses of lethal control were adopted.
I don’t want to sound that it was all peaches and cream. The plan also has some very significant flaws. The con‐
cerns that SCI presented of there being no target numbers and maximums for the number of wolves were not ad‐
dressed. The Hunters Heritage Council wanted the number of breeding pairs reduced from 15 to ten and that did not hap‐
pen. The plan needed even more significant changes to address ungulate decline, issues that concern livestock producers
were woefully under‐addressed, and the use of lethal control needed to be strengthened from the plan that was
adopted. The Commission also said that the plan was a “starting point” and was open for review and changes while wolves
grow in our state.
There will be some important legislation that concerns the hunting community in the next session of the Legisla‐
ture. The cougar pilot program concerning the use of dogs for hunting cougars will be re‐introduced as it failed passage the
last session of the Legislature. There will also be legislation for the state to sell NRA license plates and the funds raised will
go hunter’s education. Legislation will be introduced to make the wolf a big‐game species. All of this legislation is impor‐
tant to the hunting community.

“ Don’t worry honey, the chances are only about 30% that I will
draw the tag and have to go hunting this year…” By John Higgins
So started my 2011 Montana big game hunting season. With
three young children, I knew that heading over to Montana to
hunt was probably not being a good husband – but I applied any‐
way for the tag with a good friend, Sean Thompson, in what I
thought was going to be an effort to just earn some hunting pref‐
erence points and perhaps get drawn in the future. But thanks to
the Montana legislature, and $950, this year would be differ‐
ent. They had apparently raised the price about $300 in an effort
to increase state revenue. But in a good lesson of supply and
demand, they also learned that there is a price above which peo‐
ple say “no thanks” (economists call it the clearing price). So
when I got the call from Sean, I was surprised to learn we were
going hunting in Montana this year.
In Montana, the rifle season for deer and elk is mostly concur‐
rent – and so if you want to hunt during the rut, with a rifle, then
deer are your only option. But with a deer/elk combination per‐
mit, I wanted to hunt both. So after much thought, I decided to
hunt opening week for elk and then come back later the next
month and hunt the whitetail deer rut. I was going to hunt elk with
Sean at his family’s place in Southwest Montana (Wise River area)
and later deer at my wife’s family cabin in the Swan Valley.
So the 2011 hunting season started with the long drive to Wise
River (south of Anaconda/Butte about 30 miles, on the Big Hole
River). We got there on Thursday night, with opening day on Sat‐
urday morning. Friday was out scouting day for elk – we drove all
over our hunting area. Public land – both National Forest Service
and BLM land, looking for sign and anything else that would lead us
to believe we’d found a good spot for elk. We were also fortunate
enough to get a two hour guided tour of the area by a local and
accomplished hunter. There were three of us hunting together –
Sean, his uncle Frank, and me. We did as much scouting as you can
in a day and settled in for the evening, excited about the prospects
of opening day.
On opening morning, we drove to our area and deployed to each
of our hunting spots. I walked in about half a mile to a nice park
and the convergence of three different travel routes. Sean took
the high ground adjacent to some private property. Frank stayed
near the truck and watched another park. At about 9AM, I heard a
few shots and briefly turned on my radio to make sure that every‐
one was OK. A strange conversation followed… “John, you
there?” “John, you there?” “Yes, Frank, everything OK?” “Well, I
have a flat tire.” “What?” “I have a flat tire.” “Well, do you have
the tools to fix it?” “Well, I dropped my gun in the mud.” “What
was the shooting?” “I saw some elk, and missed, and dropped my
gun in the mud.” “Really, can you get it cleaned off?” and on it
went… I didn’t really understand, and just kept sitting at my spot,
waiting for elk. About two or three hours later, I radioed my
friends to see if they wanted to meet for lunch – we arranged a
27
spot, and off I went.
I was surprised to learn when I got to the truck that a “flat tire”
was code for “John, I shot an elk, and I need some help getting it
out of the woods.” In any case, Frank had shot a rag horn 5x5 elk
and needed help getting it out of a “no motorized access” area. So
(as Frank watched) Sean and I lashed ourselves to a small log, and
like a mule team drug the elk about half a mile down a dirt road to
the truck. Narrowly avoiding a hernia, we got the elk into the
truck. We brought it home and the work began…
That afternoon we went back into the woods, but didn’t see any‐
thing – and so called it a night and got ready for the next day’s
hunt.
Day two, Sunday, was a day I’ll never forget. After studying the
maps the night before, I realized there was an easier way into the
spot where I was hunting. So instead of walking in along the elk
trail, I realized I could quietly approach from a road about a quarter
mile above the spot. And so, at about 20 minutes before shooting
light, I left my friends on the road and began navigate down the
hillside to my spot. About 200 yards in, I heard a loud crash and
saw the back end of an elk running down the hill ahead of me. It
was definitely a bull just based on its size – and I was excited. I
continued walking, quietly up to the spot. My handheld GPS was
able to get me there easily – and I stopped just short to make sure
my gear was in order. Someone once told me to never just crawl
into your hunting spot – but to instead make sure and glass all
around first. I’m not sure why, but I remembered those words of
wisdom and decided to take a look around the park before settling
into my spot. As I was looking, something caught my eye. Move‐
ment, about 250 yards away, on a far hillside. It looked like a big
elk rack moving – but I wasn’t sure. Knowing that you

should scout with your binos, but also thinking this was almost
certainly a big bull, I put my rifle scope on the animal and con‐
firmed it was in fact a nice bull – straight across the park on a hill‐
side, feeding. I had seen the white tips of his antlers moving as he
moved his head. So for about three or four minutes I just
watched. He was incredible. Straight out of an outdoor magazine
– a mature bull, feeding in plain view 250 yards away from me, and
he had no idea I was there. After watching him, I started to get
nervous thinking – what if he spooked and I never took a shot? So
I made up my mind to shoot – and then the rifle went
off. The .308, shooting a 180 grain Winchester fail‐safe, was at the
limit of its effective range on game of this size – but I knew that it
was all about shot placement. After the shot, I looked up to see
what had happened. No elk, lots of quiet. Had I missed? Did I hit
the elk? Anyway, it was time to wait. So I waited about 15 min‐
utes (I know, they say 30 minutes – but I was anxious) – and then
headed over to see what I could find.
I got there and saw nothing. My first reaction was – damn, I
missed the elk of a lifetime. Wow, and I considered myself a good
shot. I looked around and didn’t see anything. As I started to
widen my search, I saw him. There he was, dead, about 30 yards
from where he was standing. When I shot him, he had been facing
me at a slight angle, and I had hit him squarely between the shoul‐
ders – and as I cleaned the elk, I found the bullet lodged in his rear
hip. It had traveled the entire length of his body – taking out his
lungs, heart, and other organs. I was ecstatic…public land, hunting
by myself, and a mature 6x5 on the ground. It took horses, horse
trailers, and two friends to get the elk out of that spot – but at
about midnight we were finally home and ready to begin the rest
of our hunt.
The last seven days of our hunt weren’t nearly as productive as
the first two. We didn’t see any more bulls – and it wasn’t for a
lack of trying. We hiked deep into the Pintler Wilderness and
through many of the other areas that we thought would hold
elk. In every case, nothing. We ended up with two elk for three
hunters – and those were taken in the first two days of our nine
day hunt.
The second part of my 2011 Montana experience took place in
Northwest Montana, near the town of Seeley Lake in the Swan
Valley. My wife’s family has been a part of the Swan Valley for
more than eighty years – with her great grandfather working for
the US Forest Service in what is now the Bob Marshall Wilderness,
and family members for more than eighty years hunting in the
valley and surrounding hills. Three years ago, I had drawn a Mon‐
tana deer tag and, along with a friend, drove to Seeley Lake deter‐
mined to get a buck. After spending nearly a week in the moun‐
tains, we came home empty‐handed – having only taken a doe. It
was frustrating, for I knew that big bucks definitely lived in the
area. The challenge was just finding them. So this year, instead of
trying to do it by myself again, I decided to hire a local outfitter to
guide me for the five days I’d be there. I thought that it would
probably be the best way to learn how to hunt the valley.
I timed the hunt to correspond with the deer rut, which meant
hunting in mid‐November. The drive over to Seeley Lake from
www.scinw.com
Seattle saw the weather get worse and worse – and by the time I
got there, I saw a foot of snow on the ground and temperatures
hovering around ten degrees. This was going to be a cold hunt –
the Montana mountains in what turned out to be one of the earli‐
est winters in more than a decade. The good news, though, was
that the snow pushed the deer down from the hills and concen‐
trated them in the valley bottom and winter range areas – making
finding them much easier.
Together with the guide, we hunted hard for all five days. We
used both spot‐stalk and calling to find the deer – and every day
saw mature bucks. The first real shooting opportunity I had on the
second day as we were walking through a regenerated clear‐cut. I
saw two big‐bodied bucks walking away from us in the woods at
about 200 yards. We froze – and began to call the deer using a
grunt. We set up behind a stump, and a few moments later a big‐
bodied 5x4 came out of the tree line and stood there, broadside,
head turned at us. With my crosshairs on the deer, I asked the
guide…”take him?” “Your call…but I would recommend against
it. You can’t shoot the big ones if you shoot the small ones.” So I
was staring at a nice buck, at 60 yards, in my crosshairs –and the
guide wanted me to not shoot. Wow, this was going to be a great
trip…so I waited.
Every day of the hunt showed similar results. Lots of deer – and
every day one look at a big deer. On the third day we moved to a
new area – a hillside that was pretty brushy, in an area that had
been previously thinned, adjacent to a thick older growth for‐
est. The guide indicated that he had seen a bigger buck in here in
previous years, and wanted to take a look. As we walked in the
first day, we saw a group of does, downhill at about 150 yards in
the brush. As we watched the does moving, I got my first glimpse
of the biggest deer I’d ever seen. I saw him chasing a doe and then
stood still for about a minute, as I got myself into position to
shoot. Unfortunately, when I got my scope back on the buck, all I
saw was his rump…separated from the tips of his antlers by a large
tree. Not being willing to take the unethical shot, through the
brush, at his body – I let him go. The rest of that day I retreated to
a ground blind on the hillside, watched, and waited. I saw a num‐
ber of does as well as some smaller bucks, but never the big guy.
We hunted the same area the next day, and again I saw (and
heard grunt) the big buck. But this time he showed himself right at
sunset – and the only shot was again unethical, so I passed.
The last day of the hunt came and I had a good feeling. As we
walked back into the same area, we noticed some new deer prints
in the snow. Maybe there was another big buck in the area? We
walked In and took up a position on the same hillside, overlooking
the brushy clearing where we’d seen activity before. Again, more
does and bucks – including a 4x4 that was awfully tempting on my
last day. But I passed, and waited. It was stormy and cold – and
the deer were moving unlike anything we’d seen before. We de‐
cided to grunt and rattle to see if we could get the big buck’s at‐
tention – and sure enough, after about 15 minutes the guide

whispered…”big deer, coming at us at about 200
yards.” I looked hard, but didn’t see anything. It
was so brushy that, at best, I would see a flash of
fur or a tail from time to time, but never really
had a good look at the deer. This went on for
about 10 minutes as the deer meandered towards
us. At about 150 yards, he finally stopped behind
a tree, but gave me a narrow shooting win‐
dow. We grunted and I took the shot…and the
deer didn’t move. I turned to the guide…”I’m
sure I hit him.” “No, you missed. I heard it hit a
tree.” “Can’t be – I am sure he is hit.” “No, he is
still walking.” The guide was right – the deer did‐
n’t run, he had just kept walking towards us, un‐
phased by the gunshot. Amazing, I had just shot
at the buck of a lifetime, missed, and he still kept
coming. The guide kept grunting and he kept
coming. I was nervous that he was going to get nervous and take
off as he quartered away from us – but he hit our scent cone and
turned back around, walking straight towards us. At about 110
yards, downhill, I had a clear shot and took it – dropping the buck
with a double lung shot.
We stayed in the ground blind for another 15 minutes to make
sure the deer was dead, and then cautiously approached
him. As we got close, there was blood in the snow and the deer
was not moving – it was clear he was dead. Laying in the snow
was the biggest buck I had ever taken – a mature 6x4, with a split
main beam. The deer was obviously a mountain whitetail, given
its large body size and the bleached hair on its head ‐‐ he had
spent most of his time up high in the sunshine on the moun‐
tains. Keeping a close eye out for bears (the valley hosts a sub‐
stantial grizzly population), we cleaned the deer and hauled him
back to the truck. His next stop was Seeley Lake, in the cabin’s
garage – where we hung and quartered him for the drive back to
Seattle.
So much for not hunting Montana in 2011…
