Doug took this tom this morning- 10″ beard and 1″ spurs. Nice job!
Fun skeet shooting weekend
We hosted a skeet shoot fundraiser for Vicksburg Project Graduation 2012. Thanks to all the men, women and kids who came out to shoot as well as our volunteer workers. Decent weather, good food and fun!

Shed hunting looking good
We found our first shed a couple weeks ago and we found a bunch this past week. I think the warm weather we’ve had caused several to drop at the same time. We found the set of sheds to our 2nd largest buck, so that was cool. Check out the pics.
Poached deer- very sad day
We lost our largest buck due to a poacher. Our largest buck was found dead about a month ago with a bullet in him. He measured out 24 points and scored 239 5/8. It was very sad for us. Unfortunately, our security cameras didn’t get any good pictures to work with, so obviously we’ve adjusted it. We just think about the little off-spring of his we should have this year. Here’s a picture of him when Doug found him.
Thanks to all who have joined us this pheasant season! We’ve decided to be done with pheasants for the year since the rain and heavy 4″ snow have all but destroyed our pheasant ground cover. But it was a fun & busy season. Here are a couple pictures of last weekend and the previous weekend hunts. We do, however, still have time for a few more deer hunts this month. Give us a call at 365-4238.
Congratulations to Lugena for harvesting this buck on her first deer hunt ever! It’s awesome to see lady hunters out here as well.
Successful deer harvesting weekend
We had the pleasure of having Chris bring his sons, Chris, Carson and Cayden over for some hunting and guy time. The oldest son, Chris, got his turn this year to harvest a nice 7-point buck. They followed the deer hunting with a pheasant hunt, then a trip to the taxidermist and the deer processor. It is always our pleasure to have this family join us. Hope to see you next year.
Beautiful pheasant hunting morning
We had this threesome join us here at Bear Creek Game Ranch this morning. Jerry and daughter, Willow, along with friend Gordon, took 6 pheasants home for dinner. Their young dog is picking up quickly on how all this works. Thanks for joining us. Our second group of pheasant hunters is out hunting now and we have a deer hunter joining us tomorrow.

Rut has begun
I went out last night and sat in the blind just to watch things and get a few pictures. The bucks paid no attention to me and were chasing does all over the place. The big boy in this picture just kept emitting a low grunt noise and the rest of the bucks kept their distance. It was pretty cool to watch.
taken last night- I think I count 22 points
