We drew 100 this year. Excited to do the scouting and the hunt, but have a few months to prepare before I actually get feet on the ground in the unit. I am looking for likely locations to camp for the hunt. If anyone has ideas or experience, I would love to hear any advice. I will contact local...

I know it's been plenty cold. Has the breaks been hit with the heavy snow that some areas have?

In an effort to fully vet out areas of interest, I am wondering if this is a decent hunt? I don't expect anyone to jump at giving me specific areas, etc. I am just hoping to get some info on deer densities, access, type of country, etc. Looks like a lot if public land in a fairly small unit. I...

Looking for some general thoughts if anyone is willing to part with them. Dad and I have the points to draw. The units he originally was holding out for aren't going to pan out. He turns 70 this year and I don't want him to miss out on a good hunt before he can't get out and hit it pretty hard...

Drew this tag unexpectedly. If anyone on here has any general or specific advice on the hunt, I would certainly be grateful. I am not a real trophy hunter, but I will hunt hard and hope to find a good bull. Thanks in advance for any replies or pm's!

Hey guys, My Dad and I drew unit 102 for mule deer this year. It will be my first trip to Wyoming and his 2nd. I am hoping a couple of you might provide some general information about the unit and the hunt. I will contact the bio in the upcoming weeks. A little groundwork information: I...

I know these posts come around every year. Bear with me. If you have general or specific advice, I will be willing to take it. My dad and I have max points in WY. We applied for both deer and elk last year and didn't draw. The units we applied for have low draw odds success even with max...

If you returm your tag before the season for a partial refund, do you get to keep bonus points? I am debating about applying, but there is a decent chance I would have to return the tag if I drew another hunt somewhere.

Going out next week for mule deer. Haven't heard anything promising about the survival from last winter. Anybody have first-hand knowledge of what it is really like?

Have any of you used both? I am on the verge of grabbing a pair of the non-hd, but haven't had a chance to compare. If you have seen both, is there a noticeable difference? Thanks.

Does anybody know of problems at Eberlestock? My dad turned a pack in for repair 6 weeks ago and has heard nothing. They are not answering emails and the voicemail says its full. Any help would be appreciated. All I have heard is good things about their CS, but I am concerned, Thanks

No OR hunting for me this year. I hope you guys will feed those of us without tags some pics and stories. Looking forward to it. Don't let us tagless hunters down! Hope everyone is having or does have a great season in the hills.

Any of you guys on here hunt the blue mountains in the SE for deer? I have gone a couple years, and we are going to try it again this year. Just wondering if any of you have had success.

Any of you guys have inside info as to when the draw results will become available? I know what the website says, it just seems like someone on here always has an inside track........ Best of luck to all of you.

Anybody own one? I was thinking about getting one and was looking for thoughts. Thanks

Wondering how the early winter is going for the deer. Seems like the late winter and early spring can be more devastating, but was wondering how things are so far. Shane

Are mystery ranch backpacks carried by any sporting goods stores where I could go look at them? I see Cabelas carries some, but I don't have one close. Any suggestions? Thanks

Can anybody recommend some good reading to learn about Cous and hunting them? Thanks

Hey guys, I am wondering if there are those who have used the J104 and the J107 and could give me a synopsis of what they found? I can see on the website what the differences are, but has anyone put both to use and found the real functionality of one to be a substantial amount better than the...

I posted this on one of the other forums, but thought I would ask here. Does anyone have experience in this hunt that they can share with me? Types of terain available? Ability to get away from other hunters? Areas to avoid? Any info would be appreciated. Just thinking about it as a...

Is anyone willing to share info about this hunt? It is a huge area, I realize, but I am wondering about the country. Looks like there are some areas close to timberline?? Most of it thick country? How about hunt pressure? If you get back in 2-4 miles, are you dealing with a lot of other...

Sent you a PM. Best wishes. Shane

Anybody have luck in eastern oregon? I got a decent little 3-point right after daylight before the hunters showed up on every ridge. Anybody else?

Anybody ever hunt the Maupin unit for deer? I am heading over there on friday and very apprehensive about what I am going to find. From my scouting, I am betting on small bucks and lots of hunters. I didn't figure to get anything else when I applied, but I just wanted to hunt!!!! Thanks

My dad drew his first ND tag in 4B this year. Can anybody tell me what he can expect from hunter #'s, type of country, etc? Not asking for any specifics at all, just a general overview. Any information you are willing to provide would be excellent. Thanks guys. Shane

Anybody have inside info as to when it will be posted? Are they going to be a little early? Getting close to time.

Drew a surprise second choice for mule deer. Blanks everywhere else. How did everyone else do?

Anybody ever hunted the forked-horn only general season in southwest Idaho? I don't think that we would ever do it, but we were driving through last week and I wondered if it got much pressure. I would appreciate it if anybody can satisfy my curiousity. Thanks. Shane

Got my new Pentax PF-65ED from Doug at Cameraland today. I'll go out and use it this week, but just wanted to sing Doug and Camerland's praises a little more. My first dealings with them. Couldn't ask for better service. Friendly and quick. I'll be going back for more!!! Shane

Does anybody out there want the free issue (ut/wy) they sent out? I got one, but my Dad already has a subscription. I'll send it to the first person to send me a PM. Don't need to pay me anything. Somebody may as well get some use out of it. We aren't going to buy a second subscription!! Shane

My father and I are unsure what to do in Colorado (non-res). We have only 2 bonus points after '06, but he is getting up in years and we won't be waiting 10 more years to get a super quality area. I want to be able to hunt with him in CO either this year or next. Does anyone have advice to...

There are always guys who point out when hunters are not wearing orange in their harvest photos on this site. I am a supporter of the orange laws myself and have to admit that I found myself agreeing in a couple of the posts. However, I looked back through all of my harvest photos during the...

Hey guys, I relocated to the Portland area last year and I know some of the eastern parts of the Oregon. I would like to get hiking and maybe see some muleys this weekend. Any suggestions where I can head east and get a good hike in and possibly see some bucks within 2-3 hours of the city? I...

I am looking at new packs and have seen many that carry rifles. Does anybody have one of these and has used it for such? I would like to know how stable the gun is when secured on the pack. Any help/brands would be great. Thanks

Does anybody know anything about the East Whitehorse unit in Oregon? We are looking for possible places to hike and maybe hunt. Never been down there. I know it is a big unit. With that, I assume there is a lot of unhuntable or marginal land. Any general info is appreciated!! Thanks.

I have always hunted (rifle) without a rangefinder, but would like to finally enter the modern era and get one. Any suggestions on what types/brands are best suited for rifle hunting? Thanks.

I am new to the site and have been enjoying all of your pics. Love to see those photos!! Anyway, to be fair, I though I should post a pic too. This is my 2005 Oregon buck taken on an unfortunately time-short hunt (those dang jobs..........). Crawled through about 800 yards of mud to get...
