My 15 year old grew out of his youth bow. I picked up a used Mathews Z7 Extreme for him from my cousin, but he will need a bigger cam. My son is only 15, but he is 6'4" tall and will have a 30-31" draw. The bow currently has a 28" cam. Where is the best place to find a good replacement cam...

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from other’s experiences. It has its ups and downs here, but this is one of the things I really appreciate about MM. When I was young and much less experienced, I came over the top of a hill in Montana with my brothers. Across...

In the recent crazy thread, one of the hunters said, "...in this case I knew that we needed to push the buck to keep it bleeding. If the buck was allowed to bed up and his wound coagulated he would be nearly impossible to track down and recover." I don't want to get into any portion of the other...

I am headed to Montana for a few days to do some bugling for my brothers. It looks like it is supposed to be pretty rainy for the days I am scheduled to be there. What are your experiences bugling in the rain? Is there less bugling, more bugling? Do you change your tactics and still hunt the...

Good buck! He might go 180. Mass looks good!

Sorry. I did come off preachy. Again, thanks for making us aware that this is happening. Soup

Sorry. I was only trying to give some examples of possible motivations, not define the opinions or motivations of all parties involved. I gave some examples and provided some information about how land deals work. The state fish and game departments usually see things differently than the BLM...

I don’t know this situation at all, but I deal in land a lot. Most big trades are done based on monetary value, not acre for acre. 85,000 acres of good timber with good access might hold the same value as 235,000 acres of rocky and poor rangeland. But another factor could be that certain...

If it is public road you can drive through as long as you don’t trespass outside of the right-of-way when adjacent to the private. Look on the local county road map. Possibly talk to the county road foreman and ask which roads have public access. They usually have a good idea what roads are...

I like it. I see others on this site who take muleys on flat ground. That muley looks like the ones I see in the wild (except it needs to be a two point or doe). For those of us who hunt in rough terrain, it looks like it’s going up the hill and away, just like muleys always do. Right...

This is my dad with a bull he and my grandfather shot in 1972, two weeks after I was born. My dad was a relentless and very successful elk hunter until his kids reached hunting age. Then it was all about us. He spent the next 20+ years chasing two point mule deer and spike bulls for us boys...

soupcreek shared this photo in a fun thread called, "Dad's Trophies Photo Thread".

Here is mine, courtesy of my kids. Soup

My parents have just drastically dropped the price. Somebody is going to get a screaming deal! Seriously, this deal is an impossible find in Montana! https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/TRACT-C5B1-Flesher-Acres-Rd-Canyon-Creek-MT-59633/2061697557_zpid/

My Dad listed his property. This is a crazy price for creek front property with year round access and high speed internet available! $129,000 for 1.70 acres. This is a bull my grandpa killed not too far from this property. Thanks for looking! Ryan 435-773-2403...

This is a muley my brother killed in 2018 at our secret family hunting ground (not too far from this property). It is 28 1/2 inches wide and scores 185 gross. The cool whitetail configuration makes it kind of fun.

Here is a map showing all the public land and Block Management Areas nearby. My wife is anxious to sell her parcel. It is like the one in the listing posted previously. Make her an offer! You won't find another piece like these! Ryan 435-773-2403

A member of my family is selling some hard-to-find creek front land in Montana. This is the perfect spot for a getaway and/or the perfect hunting base camp. There are LOTS of elk, mule deer and whitetails in the area and LOTS of public land to hunt. The brook trout are plentiful in Canyon...

Thanks for the responses and advice! I will start with more cheeseburgers!!

Thanks! I’ll check it out! -Soup

I am looking a relatively cheap ($70-120) multi day backpack for my 13 year old son. He is still got quite a bit of growing and will eventually fill out, but right now he is 6’1” and about 125 Lbs. I’d rather get him something a little too big, because he’s so young and still has so many years...

Maybe we all need to show more gratitude for the increased anticipation and excitement! First they cut more than half the tags in my area after I apply. Then, they drag their feet posting the results. I love the way this helps increase the suspense of the situation. Maybe this is planned by...

Pending charge on my account to Jimmy Johns for $12.23!

Dropping the price to $105.00.

My father built this knife and would like to sell it. It has a 4.25" blade and the elk horn handle "fits nicely in a big man's hand" according to Dad. The pommel and brass guard are hand shaped. Asking $125.00. Thanks for looking! Soup

Is it legal to use salt (or any other attractant) for deer in Utah? I know it used to be legal, but a friend told me the law had recently changed. Do any of you know definitively? Have any of you had any success using salt or bait in Utah? Thanks, Soup

I am curious about other people's thoughts about staying warm. A tactic frequently used is to hike to a vantage point in the dark and wait for the lights to come on. I have had much success with this in the past and plan on using it in the future, but sometimes sitting there gets crazy cold...

I didn't draw a tag in Utah this year. Are there any tags still available in the state that would allow me to hunt the extended archery units for deer? Unless I am understanding the UDWR website wrong, the only remaining available tags are for Private Lands Antlerless Elk and OTC Bison. Am I...

My son just shot a little muley buck and we are going to turn some of it into jerky. In the past we have enjoyed High Country seasonings, but my wife wants something that doesn't have a lot of preservatives, etc. If I don't use the cure packets, will it affect flavor? How long would it last...

Thanks for sharing the video. I've never seen it. Crazy stuff!! Years ago I picked up a postcard in the Yellowstone area that had a picture of a nice bull and 3-4 cows. On the back of the postcard it said something like, "Many elk live in the Yellowstone area. Cow elk weigh 300-600 Lbs...

As with many of you, I hunt in areas with poor to zero cell reception. I have a younger son who I would like to put in a ground blind while I try to chase deer in his direction. I would like to be able to communicate with him during the process (i.e. "Dad I got one, can you come help?" or...

You are asking a question that has no one correct answer. In general, I would guess that your OnX maps are close. Specifically, each property is going to be different. The federal surveyors surveyed much of the west 100+ years ago using very basic equipment. Theoretically, each section of...

Are the credit cards still hitting? I am hoping for one more tag for my son. We got deer tags, but we're still dreaming about the Youth Any Bull Tag. BTW, when do official results come out so we can see what deer tags we actually got? Thanks, Soup

Anybody hear anything?

My father dropped a small buck on a steep hill one time years ago. When he got to the buck he tied the head to a tree to keep it from sliding down the steep hillside. He began the process of cleaning him out and just as he was removing those first important parts, the buck jumped to his feet...

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I asked you to tell it to me straight and you did. I appreciate the honesty. Like I said, my experience in this area is very limited and you have widened my perspective. Thank you. Soup

A friend shot a nice buck and took it to a local taxi. Even though it is a really nice buck, he was on the fence about paying for a shoulder mount. He asked the taxi what he would give him for the cape if he just decided to do his own euro mount. The taxi said $35. After a couple days he...

I got another pic of your big typical this weekend. It looks like he may have put on a few more inches. :) Great pics of great deer, by the way. The truth is, that last buck doesn't need any photoshop help! Good luck and thanks for sharing! Soup
