You are kind of in never never land - you are way behind the premium units 2,201,10,and 61 early will be hard to catch - you could possibly draw unit 76 1st rifle - I know that is an excellent archery and muzzleloader hunt for average bulls - not sure when the migrate out though. It is pretty...

Nice west river whitey sdmuleybuck. I hope I find out blue tongue isn't the issue. Have to see what the pattern of death is.

I am heading to friends large ranch in west central So Dakota for opening deer hunting. This spring and summer He found quite a few dead deer - wt and muleys - including a number of mature bucks still carrying antlers. I know it was a rough weather year but I am very concerned that blue tongue...

The draw odds section of this website is excellent and will narrow your choices down to units you can draw with 9 points. I would suggest you narrow down to a few units and go to the CDOW and pull statistics, maps etc and when you have narrowed your choices down a bit and to specific units you...

We hunted it 3rd season a few years back. Great hunt and between the migration and rut getting going later in season saw a lot of real high quality bucks. With late season dates this is the year to hunt it. It is an easy hunt relatively speaking although there are plenty of places to stretch...

I received this email from UDWR regarding utah's changes to nonresident big game applications. I especially enjoyed the candor of the second line - if only they had added "except for all the tags we sell to the highest bidder" If you've ever tried to obtain a Utah big game hunting permit-and...

You can't compare Utah to Nevada or Wyoming in Non-Res opportunity. Wyoming has thousands of limited entry tags as does Nevada. Utah has what 80 LE deer tags - 1 or 2 Henrys tags? I will agree Arizona is similar. This change Utah is proposing isn't about opportunity it is about convincing...

Utah is simply trying to give the Non-resident the impression that they are getting "more" for their hunting license dollar. Rather than focusing on the real issue which is the ridiculous number of deer tags given to the various organizations for sale to the highest bidder versus the paltry...

First I appreciate the fact that every state has to raise funds if they want to increase hunter opportunity. And we should all be grateful that we have organizations filled with volunteers to help with the desperately needed projects. We have an obligation to support them financially. I have...

The difference between Wyoming and Utah is that I will hunt in wyoming in 3 to 5 years. Statistically I won't hunt deer in Utah for 20 years. Same with Nevada - I will pay but I know I will get a tag there in 3-10 years depending on unit. With the paltry number of non-resident tags available...

I'm dropping utah - just aren't enough tags available. I have 5 and will never draw Henrys, Pauns, Bookcliffs or Vernon. Plus this is just the start they will increase the cost every couple of years and reduce the tag numbers further (or give them to the clubs to auction off.)

This could just as well be a 3 question survey. 1. Are you a resident that does not own any land/habitat? 2. Are you a resident who owns land/habitat or an outfitter. 3. Are you a non-resident who has watched his hunting opportunities diminish and the costs escalate? It is pretty simple to...

If you stay in the top tier of units, which unit you pick will have less to do with your success than how hard you hunt, the weather and good old fashioned luck. This is a do you like bud light or miller light question. The top units 10, 21 66 44 etc etc. are all great units - go hunt one of...

I just tried my first bunch (4) of platinums last nite. They appeared to shoot well in my 22" barreled ruger 7750. One serious complaint I have is the black plastic seal is very hard to get started in the barrel end. I have never had any problem with the 345 regulars with the green seal getting...

22 is a good tag although it like most areas was better in years past and before the prolonged drought and other factors reduced the deer numbers. Nevada to its credit has cut their tags back and maintained their trophy quality. With some luck you can kill a good buck in 22. The unit is very...

I applied for numerous licenses including antelope,sheep, elk, and deer. Only the elk and deer are showing up. Anyone else notice the same? I don't want to lose the bonus points (or not get the current one) I have for the other species.

Consider buying blued and cover with "Black Ice" Teflon. Holds up really well and cheaper than buying stainless. I had a stainless rifle covered because I didn't like the glare. I am a real fan of black ice.

Update on the status of Black Mag3. I have tried unsuccessfully for a month to reach Magkor. I finally got a phone answer and MDM has bought the company and all the inventory for use in their powder charge concept. They plan to reintroduce/produce Black Mag3 in September they said. I was finally...

Thanks. Hopefully I can locate a source in Minnesota and avoid the shipping fees. I really like using it and would hate to switch. I will give Magkor a holler.

That tag is good for unit 11 early. Oct 5- Oct 20. There were 28 tags in that quota.

I stopped at Cabelas to pick up some Black Mag propellant. They said the company was out of business. I see that Magkor still has an operating website. Is Black Mag done? I liked using it - clean and seemed to work fine.

You absolutely, positively could not get 2 bonus points in the draw. You also could not use the bonus point you got from the restricted drawing (the first) in the regular draw (second). You were however, able to apply twice, didn't matter much as the odds are much lower in the second drawing...

It is apparantly official that the discussed changes to the LO program have been implemented. On the CDOW website they have information about it. I really question whether it is going to put more free tags in the pocket of the non-landowning residents - which is what they want - or lower the...

That is a clone to one of the bucks we took in unit 21 last year. My guess is a couple points either side of 180. Beautiful buck congratulations.

Whoops! I mean SatellitePhoneStore.com

I rented a Globalstar for 2 weeks for use in Nevada hunting muleys this opener. Paid $120 which included shipping and 30 minutes of time. Extra minutes were $1.59/each. Rented it from www.cellphoneshop.net they were very good to work with and the phone reception was decent - not great. I...

I'm sure the MDF has a contractual obligation. They can't just cancel it - he has been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury certainly not convicted. Besides I believe it may be way more interesting to see what kind of reception he gets from that crowd. Whether he gets out of this or not he is going...

It depends on your airline - talk to a manager and find out their policies. I fly a low cost charter to Nevada or Alaska and they are very easy to work with. Most airlines vary

There might be landowner cow elk vouchers available. When I deer hunted the late season in 10 in 2003 I know we thought about picking up a couple.Maybe a buddy could go with you if you could hook him up with cow tag. Masadonna tavern has a campground and a couple of small cabins that are very...

To imply this is about Gentry being lambasted by "the most anti-hunting newspaper" in the country misses the issue by a mile. Minnesota is filled with hunters and fisherman and the star and tribune which is, granted a liberal newspaper understands that. They may be anti-shooting bears in pens...

Another intersting article. I wonder how many of his other trophys were pets? http://www.startribune.com/462/story/621340.html

He has hired the absolute top defense attorney in Minnesota.Meshbesher is a $500 an hour guy. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out as the judge he will get to stand in front of is from Duluth in northern Minnesota and not some liberal judge from the cities. Follow up story...

http://www.startribune.com/462/story/616735.html I THINK THIS WOULD QUALIFY

Story in Minneapolis Star Tribune. This takes high-fenced hunting to a whole new level. What a moron http://www.startribune.com/462/story/616735.html

Migration hunt. Masadonna Tavern/campground has a couple of reasonable small cabins and is located in a good area if you don't want to camp. By end of your season majority of deer (bucks) will be moved down from monument and mountains into sagebrush and begin rutting. Hunting will get better and...

Hunted the Breaks in 04 - it looks like water levels are as bad or worse than they were then.

A lot of the pressure to increase tags comes from the ranching interests in NV. Ranching is well represented in the decision making process. Maybe you give them more Landowner tags and they will back off pressure to reduce herds - same old story - hunters competing with ranchers. In Colorado elk...

I have a Tikka T3 in 270 WSM - syn stock and SS and it shoots very well with handloads. I intended to buy one of the ultralights as mentioned above and decided for the extra 6 ozs spending $1200 to $1500 wasn't worth it. I did hang hang good glass on it though.

JRABQ has stated the issue perfectly from a NR perspective. The problem and it happens over and over in many of the states - when changes are made one group gets an advantage at the expense of others - justifiable or not. The problem is you send your money in for a number of years with the...

Sremim, The AZGF sent me a copy of the bonus point structure with an application. I think they want me to throw my money away on a hunting license and that is their disclaimer do they can avoid feeling guilty. 9 points is max deer and 17 max elk.
