There was never a moment that I wasn't thrilled to get this buck, but I will say that he seems to look bigger/cooler every time I look at him. I didn't even notice his spikes at the base until I walked up to him. I picked him up from the taxidermist this weekend and if it wasn't for the spikes...

I did a search of this topic before posting it but I only found one thread that was created after the bill had actually passed, and it had spiraled so far out of relevance to the topic that commenting was disabled... so here goes: I have tried googling and trying to make sense of this for...

This post isn't intended as a complaint, just curious if anyone else has noticed the same thing and knows what might be happening. This morning I browsed the reissue list for my dad since he struck out on the draw this year. There was a tag he was interested in so we got all set up on the...

I bought one of these after seeing a thread about it a few weeks ago and am really excited about it, but ran into an issue last night when I went to swap the sights out. It seems that the sights have a lower profile where the screw holes are than the stock sights. When I went to put the new...

If this handsome fella happens to stay put for three more weeks and survive 8 days of archery season before the muzzleloader opener, I just might be lucky enough to try for a shot at him.

Hi all, I'm looking for some insight on the typical growth patterns of Mule Deer antlers. In your experience, when do they tend to reach full growth for the year? I've been doing quite a bit of scouting this summer and the smaller bucks I found this weekend looked full grown to me. Their points...

Leave it to me to find this guy while out scouting for a unit that I only have a deer tag in. Apologies for the low quality, I ordered a phone scope and will hopefully have it on me if/when I see him again.

I was able to get this guy on my second to last day of hunting this year. I was exploring an area that I'm not very familiar with but seemed like great habitat for a big buck. That morning, I was hiking up a steep ridge hoping to find good glassing at the top. I got to the top of the ridge at...

This hurts to post... I took my brother in law out hunting in unit 15 this weekend and all signs are pointing to me leaving my spotting scope standing on the tripod right next to the truck. I had been using it right next to the truck, then had to spend a few minutes to rearrange all of our...

Pretty stoked that my favorite holiday falls in line with another favorite time of mine.... hunting season! If you see this out in the woods don't shoot, it's just me in my costume.

Hoping to make contact with someone who's more familiar with Alaska hunting regulations than myself. I have been reading over the regulations online but am having trouble answering a few specific questions. 1- To buy a moose locking tag, do I need to purchase an all game hunting license as...

We just got back from an unforgettable hunt! After 22 years my dad finally pulled an elk tag in NM. Him and my mom went down a week before season started to scout around and learn the area. I drove down and got there Friday afternoon, the night before season. I made it out for an evening glass...

I'm from Los Angeles... first time hunter. Bought a tag off the leftover list... won't have time to scout and won't be able to make it there until mid season. Would anyone be willing to tell me where the biggest buck in the unit hangs out? Best place to drive to for a shot? I have tickets to...

Got my buck back from the taxidermist last week. Really thrilled about how it turned out.

This was a hunt that I have been looking forward to for years and years. I finally drew this year and put a lot of work in and was able to get this guy on 2nd to last day. I went into the season with high hopes due to the early snow and cold temperatures... but a switch flipped 2 days into the...

Had a pretty cool encounter with this guy over the weekend. He had no idea I was there and just moseyed around the meadow for a while. I'm interested to hear opinions on his size? He looks like a decent bull to me but I'm not the best judge.

I posted back in August asking about public land info in Region 7. I drew the R7 rifle antelope tag this year. I have done quite a bit of research and made a plan for the hunt that I'm pretty excited about, but at the end of the day the sheer size of Region 7 is pretty daunting. I'm reaching...

I have a question that might be stupid but this forum seems like my best bet at getting it cleared up. Thank you in advance for any info. I drew a tag in R7 so my first step was to pull it up on maps. I quickly found the Montanta Sportsmen's Atlas and it seems like a great resource. My...

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aR2qkxUvy4DiATKxZS5C7tseZ45q2TMb Posted this in the Taxidermy thread but thought people might enjoy the story too. I drew this tag last year and made it up to WY for a week towards the end of the season. I had dreams of staying two weeks or more but work and...

Got my antelope back from the taxidermist last week. He is my first one. I seem to like him more and more each time I look at him. I'm by no means an antelope expert but his width seems rare. I know width doesn't count towards score, but I could care less about that. Everyday reminder of time...

I'm more of an observer on the site and love reading the stories & seeing the photos, but I picked up my 2017 ram from the taxidermist a few weeks ago (long wait but well worth it) and thought people might like to see it. Very happy with the quality of the animal and the taxidermy. He won't...
