My taxidermist is asking how I want my moose mounted form/position? I know I want it looking straight on but not sure about other head positioning. Anyone have a picture or form they think is a good idea? I have no idea where I am hanging it but someday, I hope to have it over a large stone...

I just received an email that our Oryx hunt this weekend will be delayed a bit - not hunting on Friday due to activity on the base. This gives us a little time to kill on Friday morning. Can anyone recommend a moderate hike/trail near High Rolls / Mountain Park which is where we are staying...

Doing stupid **** like this will almost guarantee that wolves will be relisted as endangered! If I wanted to get wolves relisted this is a dream come true. I am all for using hunting to control their numbers but using bounties is only providing ammunition to the people that want them listed as...

North of US Highway 14A seems like a huge part of these hunt areas. I have the Type 9 for Unit 39 and was planning to hunt September 16-30. The fire appears to be completely Unit 38. If anyone has a graphic showing the area closed I would appreciate it. I did notice it is only in Sheridan County...

Current bid is $5,000 for an Iowa deer license. At least it is going to a good organization and I am surprised it took this long...

Who has received the most 'Unsuccessful Notices' from Utah either between tags or without ever drawing a tag? Non-residents will dominate this category because they can apply for all species. My brother is at 96 and counting (including bear). I have drawn two good tags so I cannot complain. The...

I may get lambasted for this but here it goes: Any non-resident with max or near max elk points willing to do the point share/point guard thing to help me draw a good archery elk tag in the coming years? I will cover all your costs (point guard and tag expense) and offer you a fully guided...

What happened to the tags that would have been auctioned at the Governor's Auction Banquet? Not that I am in the market but it is interesting to see what they sell for each year...

When is the last day to modify an application (elk)? Thank You.

I have an opportunity to lease more ground that surrounds the 850 acres we own. It is always nice to have a little more elbow room but mostly I want to control the hunting pressure and improve the deer management in the area. I just do not want to pay for it and this is where you might come in...

I plan to hunt on a 45-9 tag this fall. If my brother were to be able to draw a cow tag as his second choice can he hunt for a cow during the archery season? He plans to hunt on the 45-9 tag and I would cow hunt then next year if possible. Thanks. Russ

FOR YOU GUYS THAT ARE USING THE ON X MAP. ARE YOU USING IT ON YOUR PHONE OR A HANDHELD GPS LIKE GARMIN. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES TO EACH. SEEMS LIKE THE CELL PHONE WOULD BE MORE CONVENIENT BUT THE GARMIN MORE RELIABLE IN REMOTE LOCATIONS. THE LARGER SCREEN ON MY PHONE WOULD...

It is time to use our antelope points in Wyoming. My brother and I have enough points to draw either unit 64 or unit 67 unless there is some significant point creep. The two units look pretty similar on paper - both have 90%+ public land, nearly 90% success rates, relatively similar terrain...

Please do not turn this into a debate about auction tags. I have a health issue that has me thinking about buying a tag possibly in 2020 just in case things do not turn out great. This is a question for you CPAs out there or even better someone that has purchased an auction tag and been through...

The new antelope system is a little tricky in my opinion. If a unit has five tags does anyone know how they are divided between resident, non-resident, and outfitter. I would assume 3-1-1? This system also makes it very hard for non-residents to apply in groups or even pairs. If a unit has 10...

Can anyone list how much these tags went for at auction? I am not in the running to buy one but I always find is interesting to see the sale prices. Maybe as a retirement present to myself I will spend the money some day? Thanks. Species Bag Limit GMU Deer (Mule Deer)* FAD 2 Deer (Mule Deer)*...

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Public contact, Information Center: (888) 248-6866 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, APRIL 18, 2018: Big-game draw results available today SANTA FE ? Hunters who applied for New Mexico big-game licenses will know their draw results early again this spring through the...

For whatever reason the rut was not what we typically see. We had some extended low pressure, corn in the fields, etc. We also seemed to have a couple great bucks and the mid range bucks were absent all year. That said I am blessed to have harvested a good buck again this year. Good luck to all...

I am planning to make my first of many hunting trips to Wyoming, in 2017 for antelope. My brother and I will have 5.5 preference points going into the 2017 draw. I have several criteria and Unit 68 appears to meet them best. It appears we will have a 100% chance of drawing in the special pool...

I must have missed this if it was posted elsewhere. Over the holidays I found out I have a second hand connection to this poacher and that person/connection pointed the article out to me. I just received an email from the MDF about the Expo and reminded me to see if this was posted on MM...

I am buying all my nieces and nephews memberships to the RMEF for Christmas. I am considering a lifetime membership to the RMEF. Their recent effort to improve effectiveness of the conservation tags for the benefit of all wildlife and habitat again proves they are among the elite conservation...

We had a great pronghorn hunt in Unit 16 recently and I promise I will post pictures of all these hunts at the end of the season. Our next hunt will be the youth pronghorn hunt in the NE part of New Mexico (41,42,43,46-48,54-59). The way I read the proclamation below we can hunt any legally...

We have been assigned to the Luera Ranch for our Unit 16 antelope hunt in two weeks. There are not many lodging options so we are planning to use our wall tent and camp as close to the ranch as possible. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good place to set up a camp near the Luera Ranch...

We drew three antelope tags for unit 16 and they assigned us to the Luera Ranch. I will call the ranch contact in a few days. My experiences with the A-plus ranchers in the past has been exceptional and hoping that will be the case again. Anyone have any experience with the ranch? Any thoughts...

There is something not right with this photo. Looks too staged. Anyone know the background?

I joined my brother on his recent elk hunt and we had a great experience but short. He took this bull on the first evening of the hunt. We scouted two days in advance and watched this bull from four miles work a wallow two nights in a row. Good glass is worth every penny. Thanks to those that...

A couple last minute questions before my brother's 9-1 to 9-15 archery elk hunt on the Valle Vidal: What would be a good setup (not a fly fisherman) to try to kill some time trout fishing (line weight and lure mostly)? Since I do not have a tag myself I may have some time to kill. Should we...

I was fortunate(?) to have drawn the Unit 2C January archery hunt. I just got back from hunting seven days and wanted to give you all a report on this hunt and my thoughts on the unit. Some earlier posts about this unit and hunt are really accurate. In an earlier post it was noted that of the...

I think this article sums up many of the disagreements we read about on internet postings. I am not at all afraid to admit I fall into the 'nature hunter' (I hunt to experience nature) group and I agree with most of this article. The only major disagreement I have with it is related to his...

I can hardly believe the great tags and subsequent excellent hunts I have had in the past five years. I drew the Unit 2C archery mule deer tag in New Mexico for January 2014 and I am so excited about this hunt. Not sure how the hunt will shake out but I am as excited about this tag as any I have...

Do non-resident points become reident points if I move to Utah? For example, I retire and can live anywhere I want. I have a pile of points for all species in Utah. Can I go to Utah and retain my points and apply as a resident with those points?

The past 12 months have been blessed with many great experiences and at least right now I cannot think of a single thing to complain about. As always I owe a big thank you to the staff at Brownells as they are always able to help correct my shooting or get me supplies at the last minute -...

Any words of wisdom or past experience with a change like this?? Dear Hunters Scheduled for the 22-24 RCRC Oryx Hunt, This email is being provided to inform you that a Military Mission, that overlaps a significant portion of the RCRC hunt area, has been scheduled for the same weekend as your...

Those of you traveling I80 through Iowa will have the opportunity to stop at the new Brownells facility in Grinnell starting November 2013. Here is the article that was in the Des Moines Register. They(DMR)tend to be anti-gun but I thought they were reasonablly fair in this article. Brownells...

The Iowa House has a bill that will require the Iowa DNR to sell $20 million in public lands and they may not use the funds to acqurie more public lands. For those that do not know Iowa has very little public land - I think we rank 48th of 50 states. I thought this BS was promoted only out west...

I was looking to begin applying in Arizona in 2012 so that I might draw an archery elk tag there in a decade or so. The cost would be around $160 to apply and build a point. I will be 42 this fall. Since I am now in the 5 year waiting period for elk in Utah I was looking for another option. I...

You can learn more about this hunt on my HAC Great Opportunities. I hope I am posting the link correctly - if not and someone knows how to do so correctly please feel free. I will warn you it is 30 minutes long. http://vimeo.com/36178957
