Blog 1 December 2009

Hey everyone---

With all the Blog craze, I thought it might be a good idea to start a BTO blog.  This way we can keep you all apprised with our available hunts, scouting efforts, trail cam pictures and everything else.  We had another great year harvesting some great mule deer, elk, antelope and even a big horn sheep this year--way to go Lewie!  We have these all (still missing a few--you know who you are get me those dang pictures) updated on our web page at http://www.blacktimberoutfitters.net/bigame.html

First, let me say thanks to all of you who are not only clients but some of our best friends and hunting buddies, we appreciate your friendship and business.  We hope you all have a wonderful joyful Christmas and a great new year.

2010 looks like its shaping up to be our busiest year ever.  We are now managing several properties in Northern Utah and have a bunch of hunts there.  In addition Johnson Mountain Ranch in south central Utah is under new ownership and management and we are excited to be helping out with some of the hunts there.  We will be doing 6 buck and bull combo hunts there the last week of September, these are sure to be fun action packed hunts where everyone will have a chance at a 320+ bull and hopefully some great bucks.

News from the San Juan, likely the best news is many of the big boys made it through another year.  We get asked about Snake all the time--although we did see him earlier in the summer, he never made it to his favorite summer stomping grounds.  We hope he made it but are hopes are not too high, its amazing to us that a bull like that made it through so many hunting seasons.  Some other great news is there will be 6 landonwer tags this year, these will all be auctioned off at various SFW banquets, these are all choose your season hunts.  So with the already 4 conservation permits there are now 10 total guaranteed tags for huge bulls on the San Juan--be sure to let us know if you are looking at a tag on this unit.  We anticipate another season of 370+ bulls.

Be sure to check out or 2010 hunts at http://www.blacktimberoutfitters.net/hunts-10.html and shoot me an email if you have any particulars.

Thanks and Merry Christmas
