Anyone hunting deer this year? All I can seem to find is negative info.... - but it's all from comments related to years past! I'll be there 2nd season - hope to return some positive news...

Geez! A report of the unit from 15 years ago? Helpful. I'm sure not much has changed...

I like Oakbrush's idea of finding a hunt that I can draw as a 2nd choice. I don't doubt myself or capabilities, but when you couple it being a first time DIY hunt with spending a pretty good chunk of change on the voucher and all, it adds up and makes you start to thinking. I do think I'll go...

Reading some other posts got me to thinking about a DIY hunt. Would I be crazy to pick up a voucher and head to Colorado for a solo, DIY rifle mule deer hunt? 2 things that make me hesitant: bad road conditions I might encounter on the unit and getting in "over my head" by heading into a huge...

Yeah, I looked back and mine was forwarded and forwarded through several emails. I tried getting the hog picture to load but couldn't for some reason. These are hilarious pictures though.

Weird coincidence. I got the same email from a friend that said they were on his camera too, but he also has a picture of a hog getting after a coon.

Nice bucks! Did ya'll kill these on the land that you are guiding on?

Any tips you can provide? I'm practicing with several different models right now trying to see what works best for me. So far I like the Snipe Pod best and seem to do best with it when I sit Indian style, left elbow on left knee and both hands at the pistol grip on the rifle, leaning somewhat...

Nice bucks! I'm not knocking it - but I'm not getting anywhere close to 176" on that whitetail, even with those long beams. Great buck none the less!

Can someone with a reloading book please help me out? I'm shooting a 7mm Rem Mag with 65.0 gr IMR4831 and a Nosler 140 gr accubond. What is the estimated MV going to be? I'm just looking for a ballpark here. I'm shooting a 26" barrel if that matters. Thanking you in advance!

What a buck! Is that another one from the Black Mesa Lodge ranch? Either way, that thing is a toad!!!

I'm in need of a new cold weather coat. I've narrowed it down to 2 that won't break the bank. Anyone use either of these or have any other suggestions? a. Cabela's Outfitter Wool Jacket with Dry Plus b. Cabela's Rain/Snow exchange Jacket with Dry Plus I don't need it to be all rain jacket...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-09-09 AT 09:41PM (MST)[p]I'm shooting a Rem700 7mm, 26" barrel using 66.0 grains of IMR4831, cci250 primers, and 140 grain Nosler Accubond. Any guesses as to the muzzle velocity I'm pushing? I'm thinking around 3,075. I'll be testing here in a few days.

In your opinion, is Arizona worth putting in for deer to start building points if you're 29 going in with zero points? I realize some get lucky and draw early, but for the most part? Hopefully I won't get smart ass answers here, but why wouldn't I want to just save my money and go to Eastern...
