Gabby Peterson, of Seeley Lake, had a great experience hunting with her sons Tristan and Waylon up Blanchard Creek Oct. 23. She got this 4x5 whitetail buck with a 7 mm. This was her third year in a row getting a 4-point buck.

After being introduced to hunting in 2017 by his grandfather Wayne "Papa" Cahoon, Chase Cahoon, of Seeley Lake, is excited to continue hunting in Papa Cahoon's memory. This was his first year hunting and it was "a hunt of a lifetime." He harvested this this 4-point whitetail buck Oct. 22, as well as a turkey. Both were shot with a 6.5 All American Ruger near Libby, Montana. Chase's mother's best friend Jona Bartlett taught him the ropes and he made a life-long friend named Kory, Bartlett's nephew. Now he can add his own antlers to the pair from 2017 that have Wayne and Chase's name engraved on them.

After hunting for 15 years, Brandon Simon of Seeley Lake bagged his first bull elk Nov. 20. It was an incredible 6x6 bull shot with a 7mm short mag in the Seeley Lake area. He was about four miles in when he dropped it but he was lucky enough to have amazing friends to help him pack it out.

With his general tag, Bryce Stevenson of Greenough harvested this beautiful 6x7 point whitetail with a 308 rifle on public land Nov. 16.
