“Untouchable” The giant non-typical buck named “UNTOUCHABLE” was first seen in 2013 and watched in 2014 and 2015. Then in 2016, Mike was helping 13 year old girl find a management buck and he barrowed her rifle and it was over after a three year quest.

“We scouted for about two weeks total and never saw the buck, but found him the second day of the hunting season after an unsuccessful morning trying to find a 6x7 we had seen on opening morning. Spotted him at over 1000 yards and snuck into 360 yards, one shot right behind the shoulder with the .300 Win Mag did the trick. We honestly didn’t realize how big he really was until we walked up to him, then our jaws hit the floor. He had points everywhere and an incredible 39-inch spread”.

This hunt was a three-year quest on public ground with at least ten other hunters after him! He put at least a 1K miles on his vehicle running on the mountain, setting/checking trail cams, hiking to glassing spots and spending countless hours behind the glass trying to figure out this buck. It all paid off on the 2nd day of archery season. With the help of his two boys he made a 6.5 hour stock in socks on steep, rocky, ledgy country. He finally placed a lethal 20-yard shot on this local legend.

After finding a shed from the year before, Dave knew there was a massive buck in the area. People in the area talked about a monster that was roaming the sage flats, but Dave had never seen him. One evening right before dusk, Dave spotted a group of bucks laying down in the sage. He crawled for over an hour to get close. He was finally close enough to get a better look – it was him. Dave took the shot with his muzzleloader and made it count. It would be the new SCI Record Book holder at 239 2/8�.

New For 2019 There is something special about a trophy mule deer. One of the most difficult trophies to obtain is a mule deer equal to the giants we have re-created and brought back to life in the 2019 King’s Calendar. Not only have we assembled an incredible lineup of monster bucks, but have also provided a layout and design that is functional and appealing hanging on the wall. Included are some of the biggest and most impressive mule deer from as early as last hunting season to some of the great legendary bucks from seasons past for you to enjoy each month throughout the whole year.
Game/Fish Activity Forecast When time is limited, or you just want to increase your odds as best as possible to find and see more game and fish, we have included our Activity Forecast. This gives you the days for highest activity for the month, it is scientifically proven that both game and fish are affected by moon patterns. Look for the moon and star icons included on each month for peak activity days.
