I recieved this information from the NRA newsletter. This is information that definitely needs to get out as much as possible. Please read below, click on the link, and take action. This is happening November 8th. That is just around the corner!
VISIT NRA-ILA WEBSITE DEDICATED TO DEFEATING PROPOSITION H–SAN FRANCISCO GUN BAN
on November 8, San Francisco voters will go to the polls to vote on Proposition H–a citywide gun ban. If Proposition H passes, it will become the most restrictive gun control law in the nation; even more restrictive than the egregious Washington, D.C., gun ban that NRA-ILA is currently working to overturn in Congress! The ordinance would ban residents from possessing any handgun and they would be forced to turn over their handguns within 90 days. The sale, manufacture, transfer, and distribution of all firearms would be prohibited!
To educate and mobilize Bay Area pro-gun supporters, NRA-ILA unveiled a website dedicated exclusively to exposing the truth about Proposition H. The website– www.StopSanFranban.com –is designed to provide you with one-stop-shopping for the information and tools you will need to ensure Proposition H is defeated on November 8.
Among the many features at www.StopSanFranban.com are: information on the proposed ban; sample letters and tips for identifying and writing letters to the editor of area newspapers; information on the benefits of firearm ownership for self-defense and the ineffectiveness of gun bans in reducing crime; voter registration links; e-mail sign-up; and more.
Please be sure to visit www.StopSanFranban.com and then forward this link to your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners, both inside and outside of San Francisco, to ensure the collective voices of America’s gun owners are heard loudly and clearly in the weeks leading up to, and especially on, November 8! Those of you who don’t live directly in San Francisco, but reside nearby, should visit the site frequently for updates on what you can do locally to ensure this deplorable proposition is defeated.
Please visit www.StopSanFranban.com today to help us prevent San Francisco from becoming the next Washington, D.C.!

Every once in a while you get a story that just makes you feel good. I received an email the other day from Craig Lisk. He told me how he took his son Brody deer hunting and it would be his first chance at taking a deer. It reminded me of our cover story in our latest issue of Hunting Illustrated titled “Why Do You Hunt?”
This story made me reflect on the cover story that we did that included many stories from the people here in the office at King’s Outdoor World. I thought that this story is a another great story to share. However, it’s not all about the story, as Brody takes one heck of buck…
Brody’s First Deer: A Father’s Memory
by Craig Lisk
It was to be a nice September weekend according to the weather report, and my eleven year old son had been bugging me about taking him deer hunting. I had never taken him hunting for anything larger than an upland game bird (grouse). He had done all the studying about game, hunting, and gun handling necessary to meet the government and my requirements. It was time to take him hunting! His grandfather owns a large ranch and there is always some deer hanging around in the remote corners of the property. With a phone call we had the permission to hunt for the weekend. We traveled Friday evening after Brody was finished school and I was able to break away from work. When we arrived it was too late to set up for a hunt, but we did have enough time to make a trip around the ranch to help us decide where we thought the best place to set up in the morning would be. We decided on a larger field about a mile from the house, it would be harder to hunt, but we sighted some deer there and it had a nice knoll in the middle that would give us a nice vantage point to glass most of the field. Upon arriving at the house we were greeted with smiles, handshakes, and a pat on the back for Brody (he was smiling from ear to ear, like he had just been accepted into manhood by his peers). Brody’s grandfather was an accomplished deer hunter, and had the trophies to show for it. After dinner the father-in-law and I sat and discussed Brody’s and my decision on where to hunt. He was in agreement, that was probably the best location with the lack of live stock, the abundance of second growth alfalfa, and the prevailing winds coming from the East. This would all play in our favour. At the same time I could not help but notice that Brody was reading his latest deer magazine, studying an article on kill zones and where they are with the different game positions, and how to make the shot. I let him finish his article and then off to bed for both of us, tomorrow was to be an early day.
Saturday morning I woke Brody early to give us plenty of time to prepare for the hunt. There was a few rubs of the eyes, but no complaints. We cleaned up, dressed in our camouflage, scarped down a piece of toast with an orange juice chaser and we were off. It was a clear morning, the stars were out, and the temperature was right around the freezing mark, an excellent morning for a walk. We left the truck about a quarter mile from the entrance to the field and walked the rest of the way. When we reached the edge of the field we could not see a thing, the fog had settled in over the field. Brody looked at me and asked, “Dad what do we do now? “. I could see he was nervous, so I explained to him that we knew where we were going and that we would have to move quietly so not to spook anything, to stay close behind me and to step in my tracks. The cool morning had laid a coat of frost on the field and we had to step lightly as not to make any noise. Slowly we set off across the field, about five minutes into our journey I heard a grunt to the Southeast. Brody immediately tugged at my coat, “What’s that dad? “. “Shhhh! That’s a buck.” I whispered and signalled him to follow. We carried on towards our original destination, after about five minutes again I heard a grunt, this time to the north. Again a tug at my coat “Dad what was that? “. “Shhhh! Another buck Got to be quiet Brody.” I whispered. The last thirty yards or so to the edge of the knoll we crawled on our bellies and waited for day break. It took about a half hour before there was enough light to see, but the fog was still thick. Slowly the fog began to thin and we caught a glimpse of our first deer that day. It was large bodied but with the fog and at about two hundred yards we could not tell if it had antlers and it was slowly moving north away from us. As the fog continued to thin, more and more bodies emerged from the grey blanket that concealed them as they fed, ten in total. Finally the fog cleared enough to see clearly, and standing proudly on the ridge at the north end of the field stood a buck! Four points a side glistening in the sun, the same deer we first saw about an hour earlier at two hundred yards, now he was five hundred plus. The whole time we spent glassing the deer in front of us whispering what we saw and the options that we did not have in pursuing the four point. Meanwhile, ignoring the rest of the field,I looked towards Brody expecting to see disappointment in his face. But instead, to our right, about a hundred yards out, standing in the shade cast by a peninsula of trees, that run a hundred yards from the east edge of the field towards us, a buck! No dispute, naked eye could tell you this was one to take home. I whispered to Brody “look”. Bewildered he looked at the deer we had been watching to the north. “No, look!” I whispered again as I motioned with my finger to his right. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped in shock, “Shoot it dad, shoot it.” He replied in an excited but quiet voice.
I would have loved to have taken the shot and call this trophy mine, but it Brody’s first hunt. That’s why we were here. “No, you come over here and take the shot” I whispered as I pushed my back pack in front of him for a rest, to raise his rifle out of the grass. A calm but excited look came over face as he set him self up to take aim on what he hoped would be his first trophy. As he laid there looking through his scope I reminded him, “Remember what we discussed and practiced, how to control your breathing and where to make your shot!” I lifted my binoculars to have a better look at the unaware deer. What a deer, larger than I thought, my heart began to pound and my body began to tingle with excitement and anticipation. I could not imagine what Brody was thinking or feeling as he laid there looking through the cross hairs of the scope. Boom!!! The sound from the muzzlebreak on my Browning 300 Winchester Short Magnum echoed through the field and the valley! The deer’s legs buckled and it dropped straight down. “Did I hit it?”
“Yes, you did.” I replied.
“Woo Who!! Yes!!” Brody hollered as he jumped to his feet.
“Whoa! Slow down, you hit him but he might be injured and we do not want to spook him into running. Where were you aiming for?” I asked.
“Behind his front leg, for the heart, just like in the magazine!” We would find out later that the bullet had travelled through its intended target.
As we cautiously approached the deer we could see that it was not going any where. Brody pointed,” Look dad he’s got down tines.” he said as we approached. It was a symmetric five by five mule deer with down tines on both side. A beautiful deer. One that would make both first time and seasoned hunters envious. Brody turned and gave me a high five, and again hollered” Yes!!” After admiring the animal for a while Brody threw his arms around me and gave me a hug” Thanks dad!” What a feeling, I felt warm all over. This was a memory we would share forever, a day that would stick out above all others.
” Do you think mom will let me hang it in the house?”
“No, I don’t think so.” I knew this because I had tried a few years earlier, and after a lengthy discussion, my prize mount found a home in my garage.” But you can hang it in the garage beside mine, on one condition.”
“What’s that dad?”
“That it is not bigger than mine!” Brody looked concerned but he agreed. We both knew which deer was going to rule the garage wall! And it was not going to be mine!

It seems as of late that we have been getting a wave of emails concerning the way you count the points off from a mule deer rack. Some are used to the ‘whitetail’ version which is to count all points on both sides and add them up into one number - hence the 10 point buck (5×5). When it comes to mule deer, we just don’t do that around here. Furthermore, mule deer fanatics are also torn on the way they refer to the points off from a mule deer. The reason for this is that mule deer have a very unique antler configuration due to the split fork on the back G2 and G3 point. You then have the G4 point coming off from the main beam similar to what the whitetail deer have.
But the main debate here, anyway, is including the eyeguards (G1 point) as part of the points. For example, do you call a buck with a four point frame with eyeguards a 5×5 or just a simple 4×4? Here are just a couple of emails that I have received recently about these questions:
Can you tell me why out east they say 11 or 10 pointer and out here we say 5×5? Also how come we don’t count the eyegaurds and they do?
Thanks,
Bert P. - Henderson, NV
I have lived in Montana for all my life. Up here, we always count the brow tines on a mule deer as a point. They are scored as such for B&C. I was wondering how come it seems you guys don’t count them. I see many deer with the basic 5×5 rack in your photos, yet you refer to them as a 4×4.
David W. - Montana
I have posted my answer that I emailed back to David in Montana:
Let me see if I can explain a little bit. Naturally, everyone has their way of counting points, so there really isn’t a right or wrong answer. Because the mule deer is scored according to the four point frame regardless of whether it has eyeguards, it is usually common practice to count the points referring only to the four point frame first, and then any extra points after that (still not counting eyeguards). The reason is due to a couple of different scenerios:
If there are four points on one side and three points on the other along with no eyeguards, you would naturally call it a 4×3. However, if there were eyeguards and counted those, you would then call it a 5×4. However, by calling it a 5×4, many people would think that this buck has a normal four point frame with an extra cheater on one side. So sometimes we might call it a 5×4 including eyeguards. We call it mostly based off from this four point frame, since the mule deer is unique in this type of antler configuration compared to an elk or whitetail deer. For example, a mule deer’s typical frame is the four points along with eyeguards. Some might call this a 5×5. However, if there is no other information or photo, you will still wonder if it was a clean 4×4 with eyeguards, or a 4×4 with two kickers on each side. It is just a way of helping clear things up about the antlers and the more you understand about the scoring system and the unique formation of the mule deer’s antlers, many prefer to count the points and not refer to the eyeguards in most cases (of course eyeguards are counted in the B&C scoring system, but that is another subject). If it is a big non-typical buck with multiple points, then including the eyeguards in the total count is common. For example, a 10×11 point buck is big, and therefore is probably including eyeguards, if any, in this total. But that brings up the point that many mule deer do not have eyeguards at all, or maybe just on one side. Therefore they are not consistent enough to count on - this is another reason why people don’t count them when calling a four point buck a 4×4.
As you can see, there are many different reasons why, and yet no real right or wrong answer, so just go with whatever you are used to.
It all comes down to personal preference. Myself, I prefer to call a four point mule deer (regardless of eyeguards) just a simple “4×4″. I also will extend this out if the buck does have eyeguards by calling it a “4×4 not counting eyeguards” or “5×5 counting eyeguards”. If someone tells me they just shot a 5×5 buck, there are two things that quickly go through my mind: (1) This is probably a 4×4 point buck with eyeguards, or (2) this is a 4×4 point buck with a kicker on each side (which may or may not have eyeguards). Which one is it?
I have dug up a few photos to support my thinking on this. What is my thinking? I am not sure, maybe I just wasted 20 minutes of my time writing this post. Oh well. It was good to get it all cleared up so everyone can be confused about how to call a simple 4×4 (I mean 5×5) mule deer. What do you think about this?
This nice buck has a three point frame with eyeguards. Is this a 3×3 or a 4×4? For me, I am calling this a 3×3 point buck. It is all about referring to the four point main frame and this example supports this.
Here is a photo of a great four point buck, but he has only one eyeguard. If I call this a 5×4 then I am going to be confused as to what this fifth point is referring to. That is why I am still calling this a nice 4×4 buck.
This is a very nice buck. He has no eyeguards but does have a small abnormal point on the left side. So do you call this a 4×5? I would definitely call this a 4×5. Since there are no eyeguards to play around with (and I don’t refer to them anyway), I know that by calling this a 4×5 there is another point somewhere coming off from the main four point frame.

I got a phone call this morning about 8:25 a.m. from Travis Osmond (predator editor and marketing guy here at King’s Outdoor World) telling me he was going to be a little late coming in to work. He continued to tell me that he was sitting about 500 yards from two coyotes feeding on a dead sheep. He got a phone call early this morning from one of the local ranchers. Apparently there was a pair of coyotes that went on a feeding binge over the last couple of days and so far several sheep had been killed.
Travis is always on the lookout to help with any dog catching duties if it means being able to put down a coyote. Of course he always has his trusty .22-250 within reach at all times. After watching these coyotes feed on the dead mutton, he and a buddy went in for the stalk. His buddy went around and after some time, there were some shots and the coyotes started bustin’ out of there. On a dead run at 150 yards, Travis knocked him down with an off-hand shot. He almost pulled off a double with the second dog…let’s just say that coyote will be limping on three legs for a long time.
If anyone asked how our new King’s Mountain Shadow works for hunting coyotes. I think the photo speaks for itself. You never know what you will find coming into work here at King’s Outdoor World.

The latest video we have added to our King’s Video Vault is the new release from Guy Mills. Guy is a guide on the Manti unit in Utah and has guided on some great bulls over the years. This is his first hunting video. There are five kills on the video. It seems nowadays you have to have 15 to 20 kills to make a video. However, one thing I liked about Bustin Big Bulls is that you actually go along with the hunter and experience the hunt a little more than just going from kill shot to kill shot. On almost every bull put on the ground, Guy goes back and shows a little prior footage of the bull and history from his earlier scouting trips. Therefore, his five hunts carry the video quite well with his additional footage.
There is also some good winter and summer range footage. The highlight of the video is the footage Guy has of the bull called “Pitchfork”. Guy goes through the history of this bull with his footage and also goes through the incredible sheds. This bull was eventually taken by Dan Green in 2004 and is now the new Utah State record archery non-typical bull scoring 410 6/8 gross and 401 1/8 net P&Y. We featured Dan’s story on the hunt in our June/July 2005 issue of Hunting Illustrated. This bull is also featured in our new 2006 King’s Bull Elk Calendar.

Just got a phone call that the Utah Sportsman’s Moose tag is now on the ground. It is kind of cool since the hunter who was lucky enough to draw this tag is our very own Bret Pangos - National Factory Rep for King’s Outdoor World. Bret has been out the last two days going after a good bull. This has been his third attempt (passing on a lot bulls) to find a good bull worthy of the tag. It looks like he has done just that. All I know at this point is that it is a 7×7 bull that is 45 inches wide. I am axious to see the beast and the pics on Monday and have a chance to score his moose. I will let you know how it goes.
Update: Here is a pic of Bret with his great 130 class Shiras Moose
We have been pretty fortunate here in the office this year. Bret drew the Sportsman’s Moose Tag and I drew my once-in-a-lifetime Mountain Goat tag. Travis Osmond (Marketing guy and Predator Editor here at King’s) also drew a Montana Pronghorn tag and just came home with a nice antelope. He also will be continuing his chase for Black Bear shortly. My brother Robert King also got back a couple of weeks ago from British Columbia and took a nice Grizzly bear. Here is a short blurb of an email he sent to me right after he got back:
I survived B.C., barely, and am back. After pursuing moose for a few days and seeing everything but big bulls we went after bears. We were in heavy grizz country and hunted the rivers. It rained almost the whole time. No it poured almost the whole time, and this bear was shot in the river. It is a 7 1/2 bear shot at 15 yards. I also had a close encounter that I can now have for the magazine all on my own. Had a sow and a cub charge us at 10 yards, yes I brought extra shorts after that one. While moose hunting we saw three huge bears that would have gone 9 feet but that was in a different bear unit. This was the biggest we saw in our area hunting for bears. Tried to get on some black bear, but saw them in the areas we couldn’t hunt them and couldn’t get on the ones in our area. Three shots all in the same place with the 300 mag took the grizz down for the count. Hard to put down even at close range. Rule of thumb, keep shooting until the bear stops moving, or you run out of bullets, whichever comes first.

There is definitely a buzz going around about two monster bull elk. Some rumors say there is a legit world record bull scoring over 500 inches taken with a bow. Some saying it is from idaho, others saying possibly from Arizona. Then there are photos of another huge bull, likely taken the same year…by the same guy? A lot of questions, but what are some of the correct answers?
The message boards and emails are going crazy with this topic and the photos that continue to circulate about these big bulls. Some are posted with truths, some totally made up falsehoods, and others with a little bit of both.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to talk with the hunter of both of these bulls. Kevin Reid was the lucky hunter to take down not one of these huge bulls, but both of them. Contrary to what many may think, these two bulls were not taken the same year. One was taken last year during the 2004 season and the other this year. Now the big question…Are these fair chase bulls?
Kevin Reid was hunting a private high fenced ranch in Idaho in 2004 and came across two monster bulls running together. Kevin ended up taken one of the bulls with his bow at just over 30 yards. The bull is an incredible bull scoring 447 SCI. After the season, the ranch owner called Kevin and told him he thought the other bull that was running with the bull Kevin shot was even bigger. Sure enough, Kevin went back for the 2005 season. After three weeks of hunting, he finally got within bow range of this bull. This bull has been scored by SCI (Safari Club International) scorers at an incredible 502 2/8 SCI. This bull will become the new SCI world record bull (taken with any weapon).
So will these bulls be eligable for Pope & Young or Boone & Crockett? No, they will not. They were taken in a high fence arrangement, and therefore will not be eligable. They will be entered in SCI and be not only one of, but two of the biggest bulls recorded. Even in high fence, there has never been a 500 inch bull taken before. The only bull ever taken by a hunter that scored over 500 inches (gross score) is the Mike Shipsey Bull. Mike Shipsey shot this bull in 1997 on the San Carlos Reservation. This 11×10 point bull scores 502 6/8 gross, 487 net non-typical B&C. However, the Shipsey bull has not been entered (or accepted) into the B&C Club. The San Carlos Fish and Game in Arizona has a replica of this elk in their office - so if you are down that way you can check it out.
Kevin was nice enough to give me permission to post these photos of his elk. Kevin is an accomplished hunter and has hunted all over the world, which includes entries in Pope & Young. However, one thing he is a little frustrated with is the rumors about these bulls going around on the Internet. He has never tried to pass these bulls off as fair chase bulls, and has been up front about them from the start. Unfortunately, people have been passing these photos around and included their own information which has been incorrect. Kevin knows what they are, but is not trying to trick anyone, and has been getting emails daily about his bulls himself. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion.
Below are some photos of Kevin’s two Idaho archery bulls:

It has been a longer wait than expected, but the new issue of Hunting Illustrated is finally here. We apologize for the delay on getting this issue out. For those of you who have wondered where their issue is, it is coming. But I feel the wait will be worth it. This new issue has some incredible stories and articles that you will not find anywhere else.
So what was the reason for the delay? It is actually good news. We have been picked up by the largest newsstand distributor in the country. Therefore, due to contractual fine print, we had to wait a certain time period before we could release this next issue with our new distributor. Hunting Illustrated has quickly become a great force in the hunting industry, especially out here in the West. It has and is getting noticed and we are excited about the new opportunities we will have and the increased circulation and distribution we will be able to do with our new partner.
So what is in this new issue? The cover is packed full of some of the biggest and most amazing animals taken last year. How about a 251 gross non-typical mule deer, a new #3 all-time archery typical bull elk scoring 402 5/8 net, and a monster 430 elk from California!
This is just a small part of what makes Hunting Illustrated so great. We also have a story on the sheds from the world record Franklin bull, a beautiful bighorn sheep from Montana, 37-inch wide archery buck from Utah, and much more.
Of course you can’t forget Ted Nugent in the Nuge Factor and our exclusive cover story - Why Do You Hunt? If you are still missing out…better get hooked up or call 800-447-6897.

I received this email from one of our loyal Hunting Illustrated readers over in Germany. I thought I would share his story. It sounds like he has a very cool rifle.
Dear Sirs,
I´m a german hunter an I like to read about hunting in USA. That´s the reason why I have a subscription your Hunting Illustrated magazine since two years now.
I´ve read from your photo contest and I want to take part of it. But there is one problem for me. It´s not possible for me to get your camo colothes in Germany. I´ve got from you the camo cap and you can see at the picture, your camo cap works also in Germany. I´ve shot this stag on 08-08-05. In our area, we have a lot of wild boars and at that morning I was sitting in a valley with wheatfields and waited of them. At 5:30 am I saw a wild boar, when it comed out of the wheat, but it passed only a small way and then it was not possible to see it again. I´ve heared it grunt and eating wheat, but I couldn´t shoot. At 6:30 am I wanted to go home, because I was hungry and wanted to have breakfast.
Before I left my tree, I tooked my binocular and viewed the valley again. Suddenly I saw a stag in a distance of 250 m. He came in my direction. I changed my binocular with my telescope and I obsverwed him. After a reduction from the distance to 150 m, I changed again. My telescope with my gun, and I shot the stag. I have a old handmade austrian gun, made in Ferlach. Ferlach is a small town and is very famous for a lot of gunmakers. My gun is older than 50 years and she works perfect. It´s a gun with two barrels. I can shot a bullet in calibre 7mm x 65mm (165 gr) and a second one 5,6mm x 50mm (63 gr), and I using a Swarovski 3 - 12 x 56 riflescope with redpoint. (I need the redpoint for wild boar hunting in the night). This stag was four years old and his weight was 150 kg.
In the second picture you see my two suns which helped me, to bring him out. It was a great moment.
Dear Sirs, I hope, my English is not to bad, and you can use the story for one of the next edition. It´ll be nice, if I have a chance at your photo contest and to win a free subscription or one of the other things.
If you have more interest on hunting informations and hunting storys from Germany, let me know it.
With best regards,
Joachim Graeff
