guided several hunters to Pope & Young and Boone & Crockett deer. While the majority of
our hunts are bowhunts, we also offer shotgun and muzzleloader hunts. Only trophy bucks
are to be taken and all hunts have a strict minimum antler score of 140” using the P & Y scale.
Deer in the 130” to 170” range are very common and several exceeding 170” are seen and taken
every year. Tall Tine Outfitters have been featured in the following shows and videos: Driven

Green River Stone Company
Contact: Gregory E. Laco

[email protected]
Phone: 763-551-0001
It’s a Diplomystus dentatus, an Eocene fish with no modern descendants. When this fish
was alive, it swam in a tropical lake in what is now Southwestern Wyoming. “Fossil Lake” as
it is known, had an anoxic zone at the bottom, so when a fish fell to the lakebed there were no
scavengers, and decomposition was slow. This often led to near-perfect preservation of the
specimen as a fossil. Green River Stone Company owns a quarry in the sedimentary remains
of the ancient lake, which is now at 7200 feet of elevation in sagebrush covered environment
with abundant Pronghorn Antelope. Each summer, a team led by the staff Geologist harvests
fossil stone slabs and specimens by hand. They are then taken to Logan, UT, where artisans
use fine hand tools to remove stone from the fossil to reveal the pristine fossil within. This
item is part of Green River Stone Company’s Scientific Plate series, patterned after the
scientific journals of yesteryear. The border, Latin scientific species, and information on
its origin are laser etched into the limestone for a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. Value, $625

KUIU GEAR
Kuiu is born from the tradition of hard mountain hunting. Mountain hunting is as rich
in exposure and suffering and heroic efforts, often in the face of difficult and tempestuous
weather, as it is the kill. And like no other sport or campaign this style of hunting depends
on well-reasoned, fully functional kit that is light, packable and dependable. That is what
we make, this is why we exist. Kuiu is committed to manufacturing the finest and lightest
hunting clothing, accessories and packs. We are auctioning off Chugach jacket and pants.
