Anyone hunting deer this year? All I can seem to find is negative info.... - but it's all from comments related to years past! I'll be there 2nd season - hope to return some positive news...

Reading some other posts got me to thinking about a DIY hunt. Would I be crazy to pick up a voucher and head to Colorado for a solo, DIY rifle mule deer hunt? 2 things that make me hesitant: bad road conditions I might encounter on the unit and getting in "over my head" by heading into a huge...

Any tips you can provide? I'm practicing with several different models right now trying to see what works best for me. So far I like the Snipe Pod best and seem to do best with it when I sit Indian style, left elbow on left knee and both hands at the pistol grip on the rifle, leaning somewhat...

Can someone with a reloading book please help me out? I'm shooting a 7mm Rem Mag with 65.0 gr IMR4831 and a Nosler 140 gr accubond. What is the estimated MV going to be? I'm just looking for a ballpark here. I'm shooting a 26" barrel if that matters. Thanking you in advance!

I'm in need of a new cold weather coat. I've narrowed it down to 2 that won't break the bank. Anyone use either of these or have any other suggestions? a. Cabela's Outfitter Wool Jacket with Dry Plus b. Cabela's Rain/Snow exchange Jacket with Dry Plus I don't need it to be all rain jacket...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-09-09 AT 09:41PM (MST)[p]I'm shooting a Rem700 7mm, 26" barrel using 66.0 grains of IMR4831, cci250 primers, and 140 grain Nosler Accubond. Any guesses as to the muzzle velocity I'm pushing? I'm thinking around 3,075. I'll be testing here in a few days.

In your opinion, is Arizona worth putting in for deer to start building points if you're 29 going in with zero points? I realize some get lucky and draw early, but for the most part? Hopefully I won't get smart ass answers here, but why wouldn't I want to just save my money and go to Eastern...

I'm looking at the Rem 700 SPS Stainless or the Sako A7 in 7 Rem Mag. Any pro's or con's? I like the looks of the A7 and don't really like the SPS stock, but I like the way 700's shoot. Your thoughts?

Anybody have any recent experiences with these guys? I'm looking at a possible deer hunt with them during November. PM me if needed. Thanks!

Decision time, do I go to hunt the grey's river area region G on a 1x1 guided hunt or sit back and save the money and wait for something better maybe next year? The hunt, including all related costs, is just a little out of my budget, but not my much. These guys, contrary to what everyone else...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-11-09 AT 09:04AM (MST)[p]Think I could draw a regular nonresident deer license in G with 2 points, or would I need to go for the special license?

I know this issue has been cursed on numerous threads, but if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.... Are they helpful for a hunt in Colorado?

I've posted several questions from trying to find a guide, questions regarding the Grey's, etc. I'm still trying to narrow it down and make a decision on a hunt this year. Just looking for something somewhat affordable. I'm now considering a solo hunt in Western Colorado. Nevermind the unit...

Anyone have any opinions of outfitters in the Grey's River? I was looking at SNS and they look pretty darn good and I've heard great things about them as well. On top of that, contrary to what lot's of people on this site say and believe, they are still taking great bucks in G. They own another...

I'm looking for a new long range, simple, hunting scope. Average shots will be 200-450 yards I'd say, and it's going on a 7mm magnum. I know my bullet drops and know how to compensate in my regular plex reticle, but I'd like to take it one step further. I'm looking at the Leupold vxiii...

I'm looking into a guided hunt in Utah on private ground for mule deer hoping to get a solid 170" or better. I've came across these two guys: Cal Haskel with Weatheredhorn Outfitters and Jed Wayment with J&J Outfitters. Anyone have any experience with either and know what kind of price range...

Where would be my best chances for a big mule deer? I have limited points across the states in the west, so I'd need a landowner voucher or private ground. I like mass on antlers more than anything. Put it this way, I'd rather have a 165 with mass than a 180 with no mass. Any ideas? I'm...

I've just started accumulating points for the various states, so I'm really not in the ballgame to draw a premium tag. Any ideas for me to go on a quality hunt without paying big $$ for tags? Looking at elk or mule deer. I'm thinking of applying w/ outfitter in NM for a decent unit, but I...

Any reports of how G and H are doing this year so far? Any nice bucks taken yet?

Anyone have any ideas for me on a Halloween costume? My wife and I go to a pretty awesome party each year. Bascially, we dress up, drink alot, and dance. Oh yeah, and the women come dressed to kill, so there's plenty to look at. I'm looking for something hilarious this year, but that I can...

Anyone have their reloading book handy? Can you give me max OAL for a 7mm loading a 140 grain Nosler Partition? Also, what about 140 grain Nosler Accubond? Thanks!

How is the recoil of a 7mm weatherby mag compared to that of a regular 7mm Remington magnum? Anyone have any experiences with the 7mm wby mag regarding recoil and performance?

I'm looking at upgrading my rifle. I told myself I'd do this a little bit each year. Here's what I've got. Remington 700 sps stainless with a trigger job and the action is bedded and barrel is free floating; Leupold vxIII 4.5-14x40. I'm ready for my next upgrade; which should it be, a. or...

What units in NM offer decent elk hunting in terrain other than dense timber? Size of bull is not as important as seeing game. I'm looking for a unit that offers the occassional "open" areas that elk might be found on. The reason I ask this question is that I went to unit 9 last year, and the...

I've got two outfitters in mind: one for an elk hunt in New Mexico and one for a mule deer hunt in Wyoming. I'm satisfied with the services, price, quality, etc. - the choice now comes down to this - should I go hunt muley's or elk? This will be my first big game hunt; I've grown up hunting...

Is a cow elk hunt fun and worth going on if you've never been elk hunting before?

Anyone know where I could get a hold of one of these tags? Looking for 2nd rifle season?

I'm looking for a landowner voucher for 2007 for CO or NM; deer or elk. I know these haven't been issued yet, but where do I begin my search for this? And also, what can I expect to pay? My dad is getting up in age and down in health and wants to be able to tag along with me (so we would just...

Anybody have any opinions on these guys? The outfiiters seems very professional and definitely has produced some monster muleys. What about the other guys in camp that don't get that monster? Any specifics anyone can offer would be great. Thanks in advance.

Sure can't wait till they send me my 16a elk tag. I'm holding my breath waiting on it.
