    Least Recoil Deer Caliber?

    Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I have a couple of relatives that I think have a .243 to try, and try some ammo options. I do want her to start shooting as soon as she can, even though it would be next year, if she can draw. Doing her hunter safety and such, she has been good with a...

    Least Recoil Deer Caliber?

    My 13 year old daughter is dying to get into big game hunting for herself next year. However she is a scrawny little thing, but is growing. What caliber would have the least recoil, but still enough for a mule deer?

    Wyoming Elk Results

    You guys will have to tell me if I am lucky or not. I have hunted general deer off and on for 20+ years as non-resident. I decided to put in for General elk, 0 points, and I drew. I think I know where I am going, but will accept input!

    BH 209 - Non corrosive!

    Almost found out the hard way that BH 209 is non corrosive. I have not ML hunted for a couple of years. I was checking the weapons, getting ready for this season. Peeked at the TC Triumph and to my horror it was filthy dirty. I forgot that I went shooting about 18 months ago and forgot to...

    It's time!

    Good luck to all the smoke polers! I wish I was heading out today. Looks like the weather is going to turn a bit, so keep your powder dry. I love to hunt in somewhat stormy conditions with any weapon.

    Sage vs Forest

    I agree with Zeke, that edge is the key. However, it seems that over the last several years I see more deer more taking up residence in the sage especially when the pressure is on. Don't overlook sage areas. It can be tough as they hold up tight, and let you walk past them. If you see one...

    NR FEES $$ OUCH

    I am one of the other few to get a NR OTC tag this year. This is actually my first time to hunt in Idaho. Certainly in part that I had no luck with draws. No controlled hunts, no Nevada, or Wyoming. I am one that just enjoys the hunt, and looks for more opportunity. Don?t really care if it...

    A little pre-scouting help

    After no success drawing a controlled permit for several year, I have purchased an OTC deer tag. I'm doing some digital pre-scouting. There is a fair amount of State land, and some BLM, in Unit 74 near and around Baldy and Sedgwick peaks. It is encompassed in private land. My question; is...

    Satellite Phone Service

    Guys, Has anyone had a good experience with a rental satellite phone service. My wife and I have used one for a couple of years to keep in touch with the kids, but have not been real satisfied. Reception has not been very good, perhaps that is the nature of the beast? Appreciate any suggestions.

    de-masculation of hunters

    I may not be old enough to be your grandpa, so it does not go back that far. It's not only hunting but the world in general is becoming driven by estrogen. Maybe too many Soy Bean products. Every sport show spends 90% of the time talking about someone's life or feelings, estrogen. Is it worth...

    Womens Protection Pistol

    Thanks guys for the input so far. No offense taken, I should clarify that she is not an anti-gun activists, but has very liberal views, and has supported political fiquires on the dark side. I think if confronted, she could do it. she is assertive. She grew up on Colorado, her dad hunted...

    Womens Protection Pistol

    I would like input on type and caliber for a women. I likely will be helping my sister-in-law next week select a pistol. I am not sure if she is necessarily looking for a concealable, or more for car/house protection. BTW, she lives in Cali has been anti-gun until the recent death of her...

    Worst Hunting Shows?

    LAST EDITED ON Jun-08-11 AT 02:49PM (MST)[p]I mostly agree. I'm tired fat, inbred, southerners saying the hunted hard all day in the stand. Anyway, the best commercial: I saw last night late. Fred Eichler, "The most interesting bowhunter in the world". "Bull elk gather to watch him rut"...

    Does de-boning......

    I am certainly no expert, but honestly neither are all outfitters. I am always quick to disagree with anyone who says that the fun stops after you pull the trigger. I enjoy this part. I can't imagine that boning can make meat spoil faster. Every butcher I spoke to says that spoilage begins...

    Utah Buck

    I have not checked in for a few days since the rifle season opened. I am surprised to see so few posts. Every one must be afraid of getting blasted for not shooting a 190" buck. Anyway here is mine. By no means a monster muley, but it was a good hunt. I could go-off on the typical Utah...

    How To - Cape & Quarter Your Buck

    I always learn a little bit from others. Remember to keep the "oysters" attached to one of the quarters. To go really lite and cheap, I use an emergency poncho as a tarp. You only get one use, but a dollar well spent.

    northern az/so utah weather

    I become a National Weather Service website junkie this time of year. There is a lot of information on that sight about precipitation and forcasts. There is a map that you can click on a location and it will give a forcast a week out, taking into account elevation and location. I find it to...

    southern region deer 5 to 9 days for or against and why?

    The DWR is always trying to find ways to allow opportunity and incease quality. A laudible goal. It seems that the 5 day did just that. Allowed ample opportunity, changing to the 5 day certainly did not reduce the popularity of the southern region, and was increasing quality.

    southern region deer 5 to 9 days for or against and why?

    This is a subject that burns me! I am certainly not a biologist, even though I like to play one, but I have hunted on the south for 40+ years. The number of mature bucks has never been better since the 5 day. I can't explain why. Perhaps the deer get tired and make a mistake, weather? The...

    Southern Utah Crowding???

    I am an old Bast***. I have hunted the southern region for a long time, even though crowds have increased for archery over the years, it is still not bad if you get off the road. I am a DH'er and will be back on the rifle, reqretably skipping the ML this year. In my opinion the biggest...

    Boots are overated

    For most hunting, not including some scenarios here such as steep rocky with a load, I find that the $15 pair from Big5 is more comfortable and where just as well ad $150 pair of Danners. Now I actually enjoy still hunting in only socks! It slows you way down and greatly reduces noise. I have...

    Muzzle loader hunt going down hill?

    I agree with a lot that has been said. I still love the ML, and still had a quality hunt but there are increasing numbers of "hunters". The reason I say "hunters" is that there are more people out there but I am not sure how many hunters. I got back into the ML about 7 years ago and have...
