Is the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo a good place to shop for Alaska fishing package or are there better places or approaches? Why would the expo be any better or worse than internet reasearch? I have gone to the expo on weekends, but I don’t last long in those crowds and it seems like a...
If someone asked me to help count mountain goats from a helicopter I would have jumped at the opportunity until I watched a news clip this evening of people being hoisted off a snowy cliff by a helicopter, after a helicopter reportedly crashed trying to count mountain goats on the La Sal...
Wondering if anyone near Logan could resize my 7mm rem mag brass with a small base die? I bought a new CA Ridgeline to replace my old M77 Ruger (tang safety), but my old brass will not fit the new gun even after I resize with FL die. I would buy new brass if I could, but I’m in a tight spot...
My son has a unit 21 deer tag for second rifle season so I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to apply for a leftover bull or cow tag in 1st rifle season to make camp, get lay of land, and do some hunting myself since I do not have any other big game hunts this year? We are nonresident so...
I was reading the UDWR Deer Herd Unit #2 (Cache) Deer DEER HERD UNIT MANAGEMENT PLAN dated January 2013. The combined size of summer range, winter range, and yearlong range is reportedly 923,198 acres (1,442 square miles). The short-term and long-term management objective is 25,000 deer, but...
My daughter drew a UT youth any bull permit. I reload .243, .270, and other larger calibers. She can certainly handle my 100 grain .243 loads, but I would feel better if she were using at least 130 grain .270 or maybe 150 gr. U saw some 110 grain barnes .270 bullets, not sure if that would be...
I am nonresident with 10 points for desert bighorn. I applied for DBS this year, but I requested refund because I can't really justify buying license just to earn points. I did not apply last year, so I wonder if I lose points this year? Will they give me benefit of having DBS points, in 2015...

I am thinking to introduce my 15-year old daughter to knight .50 cal for deer hunting. Can anybody suggest a good starting point? How much load is really need for deer under 60 or 70 yards?
What is best route from Winnemucca to Gerlach? I will be hunting unit 014 late deer, coming from Logan, UT.
Mapquest suggested driving south from Winnemucca to Fernley then back north to Gerlach, which seems rather out of the way. I would sure like to shave off a few miles and save some gas. I...
I drew my first NV deer tag for unit 014 late, with 9 points. I have hunted antelope in unit 61, which was a was a great experience, but otherwise I don't have any experience hunting in this state. Needless to say, I am excited about this deer hunt.
I have read a few interesting things about...
As I recall, NDOW stated that increasing the number deer hunter would not necessarily result in a proportional harvest increase...or something to that effect. Maybe they were right.
19472 hunters harvested 7297 deer in 2012 (37.5% success)
11855 hunters harvested 4053 deer in 2011 (34.2% success)
Did anybody keep a copy of the new buck-to-doe management objectives for the 30 (general) deer management units. I think UDWR removed this information from the website. I am specifically wondering what is the buck-to-doe management objective for the Plateau, Boulder/Kaiparowits 25C/26 unit.
I am always a little bewildered about t Nevada restricted guide draw application process. Do you need to do this through a guide? If so, what is best way to locate and price out guide services? Can you still apply for the regular draw if you are successful in the restricted guide application...
Does anybody know outfitters that provide drop camp or other basic horsepacking service in the roadless area of the Book Cliffs? I think that I could backpack my way into most ares of this unit, but I can see how it would be tough to get an elk out. I am thinking about the early rifle elk hunt.
