I drew a bull moose tag! First time putting in! I can hardly contain myself. "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi

LAST EDITED ON May-16-17 AT 01:44PM (MST)[p]If you've been teaching your kids proper weapons safety, hunting and shooting ethics for a while, and your kids are proficient with weapons I think the online course would be the better route. I know for myself, when I was a kid, hunter's ed wasn't...

I think the only plausible explanation is steroids. ;-) I watched him for about an hour. The velvet looked too clean and healthy for me to think it's carried over from last year. He has the growth of what I imagine most bulls have around mid to late July. It was quite a shock to see him like...

Despite the bad winter, one of the bulls I saw this weekend seemed to be doing pretty well in the antler growth department. Has anyone ever seen a bull this far along so early? I know I haven't. "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi

This is one of the coolest elk mounts I've ever seen. I can't imagine how awesome it looks in person. I might be a little biased since big 5 points are my favorite. :7 "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi

I had super high hopes I would be that one guy to draw a unit 1 tag with zero points as a non-resident... ;-) Guess I was wrong. lol. Congrats to those who got hit, and my your nights be filled with restless sleep and dreams of bugling bulls! "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there."...

Thank you so much for having such an awesome way share our stories. I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's stories, and looking at all of the photos. It's inspiring to read about everyone's seasons, and a joy to share in other's successes. I'm honored my HAC was selected as a finalist. 2016 was...

Leaving New Mexico was harder than I expected it would be. I learned a ton about hunting out west and was able to hone my skills as a backcountry hunter. I killed my first elk, first elk with a bow, a great bull, first mule deer, and a barbary sheep. I also was able to spend some time hunting...

I almost forgot!!! I was able to sneak in a trip to Oklahoma for the opening weekend of muzzleloader season. The buddy I helped on the antelope hunt invited me along, and we set out to get some more meat for the freezer. Any deer was fair game. To maximize my time home with my family, I again...

Oh yeah... this was also my first mule deer ever. I can't be more happy. :D "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi

The story of my hunt will be posted on my HAC thread, but I'm too excited to wait for it to be published. Here's a short video I put together to commemorate the hunt. "The man on top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi

All I could see was a deep fork on its right side. I knew immediately he was a buck I'd be happy to take. ?He?s a shooter,? I said to my buddy who was a few steps behind me. ?OK,? he replied. I laid prone, looked back at my buddy quickly, and settled the crosshair on his neck. I closed my eyes...
