Karen's beautiful MONSTER buck. She saw him several times, even before the season opened. But, she kept the secret and din't let anyone else know about this buck until after he was loaded on the back of her pickup. Here are a couple more pictures of the same muley BUCK.

Notice the smile on her face.......

deer, antelopeand elk harvested

on the Y Lazy S Ranch

Robert from Pennsylvania brought this beautiful huge BULL elk into the camp one starry night

loaded on the back of his vehicle

Rene ended his deer hunt on the first day. How boring!!! Then, he just hung out around the ranch having fun............

.......and then, his buddy Steve waited and waited..he saw sooooo many bucks. But, he waited and waited. And then, 30 minutes from the closing of the season he found this beauty..he shot..and got it......................

Jeff and Owen hunted hard. Jeff got a beautiful bull elk.......

and a beautiful muley buck.......

but, hey, check out Owen's buck!!!!!!!

Our buddy Mike came back; all the way from North Carolina. This is one expert hunter!! and dedicated to the cause. He got his fabulous 5x6 bull elk

and then, he got a fabulous 5x5 deer buck, but, we just forgot to take a picture......And by the way, notice that scull of this beautiful bull. Now, that was a fighter bull; somewhere along the line he broke that scull and this mount is going to be a terrific irregular.

" Mike anytime you want to, you can send it back to the "Y Lazy S Ranch" and we will hang it in the Lodge, when it is finished".

and on the "Y Lazy S Ranch", this is the way we bring the bulls in..............

Monte was sure excited bringing all these bulls in with his favorite mode of transportation.....And then, we load them, two by two, for delivery to Mountain Meat Packing and Wapiti Taxidermy...

Howard and Keith had a wonderful time on the ranch. They enjoyed the accommodations and they said: "The traditional chili get-together was great". I did not have a chance to take a picture of Howard's buck but, here is one of the buck that Keith put down............

And the group of "Mean Joe with his "Big Green Machine" once again, back on the same hilltop, got some great bucks. Here is Cameron's

This hunter from Oregon, Harold, the man who knows everything about plants,came to the ranch for the first time this year; he brought along with him his two sons, Marty and Paul, and his son-in-law, Ray. They had a great time. They vowed to be back; again and again......

Paul got a very nice bull elk and a great muley buck deer. As soon as he sends me his pictures I will put them on this page.

Marty shot a buck and he was really impressed with our beautiful acreage by Freeman reservoir next to the National Forest. These four guys went up there on Black Mountain and thought that it was the grandest place in the world. The two brothers spent a couple of days there hunting and I am sure they plan to go back up there again next year.

Ray, the son-in-lawfrom Oregon got this nice 3x3 buck on his first trip to the "Y Lazy S Ranch" I just bet he'll be coming back for a bigger one next year or the year after..............

Paul, Marty and Ray having their dinner in cabin # 1. They sure enjoyed their stay in the cabin,with all the comforts of home......

The traditional "chili supper" was fun. Everybody enjoyed the venison chili, the margaritas and the "loukoumades" as desert prepared by their "wore-out" hostess Aleka Butler. While I was busy frying, Barbara was busy passing them around and everybody was busy eating. Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What a gigantic mess" But, isn't this what it's ALL about?. Fun, and then, some more...Michael had a great time visiting with Harold, Paul and Marty..

Successful, happy hunters......Nothing but smiles.......

Barbara "my friend", Pete "the New Zealander"and Joe," the mean one". Hey Pete, what did you do with Erin? Where is she?

Hey, Look at that. Finally Erin showed up.

And then, when the hunt was finished, they all traveled back home....happy, successful and determined to be back to the "Y Lazy S Ranch", their "home away from home" again next year.....and the year after.... and bring with them some of their special friends....

See how the hunters from California showed off their bagged animals to the world as they were driving back to California.............

Tim got this lovely 4x4 buck. He especially enjoyed camping on the ranch and his hunting experience with Chad.

Tim K..... from Denver loves to hunt deer, antelope, elk.

Chad from Georgia and his buck..... His loving wife Stephanie gave him the hunting trip to the "Y Lazy S Ranch" as a Christmas gift last year. He sure enjoyed it to the fullest!!

Chad enjoyed his stay in the "Elk" cabin alongside with Chad from California and his Dad Bill....

It's all been on the "Y Lazy S Ranch" and those who spend a little bit of time here they always plan to come back...............

Great Buck for the Texas boy!!!!

All I can say...is WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy you have to admit that hunting on the "Y Lazy S Ranch" is better than the trophy hunting in New Mexico.

This hunter passed up a much bigger buck before he took this one.

This hunter and his group have hunted on the "Y Lazy S Ranch" every yer for the last 25 years. They have always gone home with some very nice game, both mule deer and elk.

This buck was taken by the same hunter above, but in a different year................

The truckdriver. Well, he was supposed to be out on the road jamming gears. What in the heck is he doing with this beautiful buck. Did he shoot him or did he run over the buck with his truck?

Randy took this antelope buck with his bow and arrow.

This California hunter was happy.
