I have had very good results with the 100 gr TTSX in .25cal on both deer and elk.

IF you saw that buck recently, I don't think he is going to turn into anything special.

I did poorly in the draws this year so I won't be hunting what I had hoped to. I moved units in CO for archery deer. I will hunt Idaho late archery deer, and MT general deer & elk.

I made the switch to mechanicals after many years of shooting fixed blades. I shot the Ulmner edge and loved the accuracy. They performed very well on bear, deer, and elk. I didn't like the rubber bands, and I had this feeling in the back of my mind that eventually the broadheads were going to...

That is a fun area you are moving to. You should have no problem finding turkeys in the areas you are planing on looking. lots of elk as well. Just spend some time in the woods and you will quickly get a feel for the areas and the animals in them.

This is a great topic of discussion. Here's what I think. Finding animals for someone else is not the same as outfitting. It is one part of outfitting, but outfitting includes much more in my mind (like a guide that is present at the time of the kill). Let's face it, finding a big buck often...

"15" is a great buck for sure.

Way to stick with it. I'll say you spent your points wisely. Great buck. Gotta love those big typicals.

I think it's funny how this topic comes up every year at this time. Just like hunters,I think that the vast majority of shed hunters do it in an ethical way. I also think that shed hunters get a bad reputation because of a few bad apples. Not all deer and elk winter in three feet of snow and...

I have a friend in Idaho who has eight mule deer sheds already. Some really good ones too. This is the earliest he has seen so many shed. Whitetails are loosing some here in MT.

I'm with DW. 193 gross

It's a fine line between opportunity, quality bucks, and funding for fish and game agencies.

I have to agree with Elks96. I have hunted the three states as well and I happen to be a resident of MT. My biggest buck is not from MT where I have lived & hunted for over 16yrs. As a matter of fact, I have seen bucks in every other state I have hunted (during my hunt) that were better than any...

I'm going to tweek the question a bit. Do your feelings change about a buck that was shot as a "meat deer" or "last day buck" come to find out he is an older deer? Does he become a "trophy" to some and if so, at what age does this change happen? I realize this question won't apply to those that...

In my mind, I consider the 4 to 5 year old range to be the beginning of a bucks maturity. Is the term mature somewhat objective? Probably, but I think that a deer changes considerably in physical appearance at about that time. To me it's not about where he is in terms of lifespan, but when he...

In regards to the "Deer Score" threads, Does age ever play a role in weather you pull the trigger or not? I realize it's hard to age a deer on the hoof, but there definitely are times when you know you are looking at an older buck. My question is, do you pull the trigger (bow or rifle) if you...

I agree with many here. I think that buck is real close to 190 and maybe a bit bigger. A taker for sure in my book. Good luck.

I would have to agree that he is over 170 & who knows he could reach that 180 mark if he pushes a little more antler. great buck.

I think this is a great question. My approach is kind of a mix between some of the posts above. I always try to kill the best buck I can find. It doesn't always work out that way though. I don't believe in the " never pass on the first day what you would shoot on the last" theory. I will give it...

Sorry to highjack the post. Deerlove i'd do it if you have the points for G. I hunted it last year & have zero.

That buck is built like a whitetail. Awesome job on a great buck.

I think the video was done well. It did a great job in portraying mule deer in the way I see them.

I hunted it last year. It is a bit frustrating finding the bigger bucks, but they are there. Most of the country looks the same, so its just a matter of a lot of glassing to locate them. After a few days we had some great bucks to hunt. The roads are crap! Bring chains and be prepared for really...

I don't know about the match to the five, but I think I have the match to the one in the foreground. Nice horns.

Congrats on a great tag. Labby1 is right. It's the gila and you will have an awesome hunt. The roads are rough and it can be pretty cool and rainy. If it's hot, sit the tanks. I was just in 16d a couple of weeks ago. Such a cool place. good luck

I come up with 153" gross.

I got through. Thanks guys

Anyone else notice that the Nevada application website is down?

no way.

dhoshauer hit the nail on the head. I think his info is worth a lot more than two cents.

Cool buck! I put him between 172" - 174" gross.

I think I would pass on them both. I can't stand a buck that won't finish the job of velvet removal. I don't know, they just seem lazy to me. All kidding aside, I'd take number two.

mtmuley, I am a resident of Montana and I am saying that the deer hunting in Montana is not as good as all of the western states that I have hunted. I have killed some good bucks in Montana, but it has taken a lot of time. I have done much better in other states on the first year I have hunted...

You are absolutely right Theox. Montana has a ridiculous management plan for deer. Their deer tag prices are to high as well. This thread is an accurate description of the deer hunting in most of the state. The sad thing is that Montana has the potential to be a great state for deer hunting if...

I disagree with mtmuley. It is Montana's fault. Their management plan is not set up to grow mature bucks. The odds are against you in a major way. You can't hunt bucks for as long as they do and well into the rut on a general tag and have a decent crop of mature deer. Of course there are mature...

Montana can be a difficult hunt for mule deer. Our seasons are to long and we have been hammering on the bucks during the rut for way to long. There are some good bucks that come from the Northern and Eastern parts of the state, but you need to spend a significant amount of time looking for one...
