Hello All, Headed to the Boulder area next week for muzz mule deer. Who is THE best taxidermist in that area, within 2-3 hrs? Thanks and good luck to all this season. Mark

I have 11 points for each deer and elk.... Not sure how the time went so fast, I must be getting older..lol Elk...I want a really good archery hunt! and maybe a follow up with rifle if all fails. This is DIY for me. Leaning away from 7 due to land access, but should I? I have couple good bulls...

Though we had a wrap on this one...... Non-res- 4 guys with 13 points for a 3.25 avg....not drawn What did I miss? Mark

Hey all, I am looking to do a road trip next week to get out of the house......no deer tags for me this year. How is the grouse hunting in the Wyoming Range? My Pointer is coming with me, as is my 13 y.o. son. We are thinking on doing a cast and blast for a couple days... Any thoughts...

Really???? No Archery bucks showing up yet?

Finally drew the tag, now its time to prepare....some more.. Anyone that's been there recently? I am all ears! PM me if you prefer.. Best of luck to you all! Mark

Guys and Gals, I am at 9 points this year. Just shy by 1 or 2. I have tried to research as much as I can to find the best elk unit for a 350 or better opportunity. I prefer to archery hunt it. I live 15 hrs from Wyoming so scouting is limited. Unit 7 might not be the one, base on what I keep...

Looking to draw it this year for either archery or muzz. I have been there a few times in the last couple years and like what I see, but didnt make it this year to learn more...darn it! How was unit 9 this year? any changes in the herd quality or anything else I should be aware of? Also...

Howdy! Anyone out there have the early hunt? How did it go? How are the range conditions. Any pointers on ones that got away, I am going scouting Thurs- Monday. I have tthe late tag. Thanks and good luck the remaining seasons!

I know a bit about the unit, but not so much about hunting it on the late hunt. It will cost me 12 NR points. Is anyone willing to share some advise on this one, especially during the late hunt? I am looking to break the 80 inch mark, especially after a dismall hunt in the red desert, wyo...

Ok, About ready to hunt. Although I could drag the goat 1000 miles home, I prefer to leave it in the hands of a good Taxi locally so I can relax a day or two afterward, if I get lucky. Lets hear your opinion for best Lope Taxi in western half of Wyo.. I will be in Red Desert, but will...

Well, I drew the tag with 7 points....looking to scout a bit in August. Any info on conditions, good places to camp etc appreciated. Looks like I will have 7 days to hunt....woo hoo.

Hey all. I will be heading up for the archery hunt and was hoping some of you with experience could point me toward a good meat cutter should I get lucky. Thanks and good luck to you all. Mark

Well, I am now without 11 points.... I will be going solo with my son(his first big game trip as a ride along). Plan to scout the first week of August.... Any hunting/ camp tips appreciated. I should have 9 days to hunt. Bring the quad or leave it? How hot is it normally? bring a bag shower...

Well, it looks like I have a decision to make.... Do I go to Book Cliffs archery or wait out the Pauns for an archery tag. As a Non-res I have 11 points. WHat are your opinions when comparing which hunt is better. I would be super happy with a 170 or better buck, who wouldn't..... Let's...

I am thinking of a new toy. This gun would be for muleys and coues, lopes only. I am considering getting a 257, 270 or 7mm weatherby mag since they guarantee less than 1 in group. price is in the right range too. I want a gun capable of dumping a coyote at 600 yds...of course I'll have to...

I thinking of getting a new toy and wanted an opinion or twenty Thinking of Weatherby 257,270 or 7mm weatherby mag. quality and price are about right. Is there a more accurate or better option for a great muley/coues rifle? I don;t reload either..... what are your thoughts? good luck this...

I think I just used all the luck I had with Drawing this tag, well hopefully not all my luck, still need the bull on the ground. I know the area and the elk a bit, but have never heard from any who have hunted this hunt. Anyone out there have any insight on the hunt? Thanks, Mark

what are your opinions on which is better,why? Points are stacking and I'm in the game, just trying to make sure I don't blow'em Thanks all and good luck this year.

Ok...I know better than to e-scout, but I'm gonna do it anyways...... I want to take my 8 year old on his first ride-along hunt this year. I only have 1 week to hunt all year where we can both make it, so I'm laying down 6 points(NR) to draw a lope tag. I would really like to get a buck around...

Thanks for all the input. I have always been more comfortable with Leupold, just thought I'd test the water to see if the competition had actually developed a competitve product. I know they ALL look "clear" at the range, and work great for "varmint", but it seems the Leupold stands above the...

Just wondering what you all think of Nikon rifle scopes. quality, durability, clarity, how is the balistic compensator? How do they compare to leupold? anyone have bad experiences.? There sure is a big price gap........ Thanks, Mark

I was watching Eastman's Journal on TV tonight and they were hunting "Early Colorado" Mule deer with a rifle. I know they have the above timerline hunts early, but is there another early hunt where they are still in the velvet???? The buck they shot was nowhere near high country, and it was on...

I have an omega and want to mount a scope to it for load experiment purposes(to help take out human error). I have a leupold fixed 6 power. What base do I need? where to get it. FYI- its currently mounted to my remington 700, not sure that base will work.... Mark

Any story of the hunt? hope it went well. Mark

Hello, am fairly new to this muzzy thing. I bought an omega and it shoots fairly well so far. Problem is I have been reading about different loads and some say to use 80-90 grains powder, others say to use 120-150 grains of powder........but the 777 container says max load should be 100 grains...

Hello I plan to re-scope this year, move up from my 3x9leupold to maybe a 4-14 or 6-18 leupold. Any advise from the long shooters. i want to do this to improve ability to see 400-500 yds on coues deer. Which do you all like best? Mark

Hey guys Was thinking of doing this to my rifle, as I am going to add a new scope too. How tough is it? Oil resistent? Is it worth it? What should it cost? Any adverse effects to performance? Thanks for your input. Mark

Hello. Can you help me out a bit? I am 2yr bowhunter and had some questions about tactics for hunting high country muleys. (not looking for spots, just tactics) Thanks, Mark

Based on my research, I bought a TC Omega- I have read a bunch of the prior threads, but want to get some specifics. Many say to clean the barrel with warm water. do you run a patch of oil afterward? Does it hurt to clean the barrel like a regular rifle: solvent, brush, oil patch, dry patch...

Well, I finally got a tag......... I hate to say it, but do not know the area all that well. (bombs away) I intend to scout hard. Any suggestions for map service to help me narrow it down a bit. Also willing to listen to any advise provided. Thanks and good luck to all of you. Mark

Darn...I wish I drew it, but actually received 0 tags in NM this year. Good luck to all oh yeah.....made you look..........ha

I know, wrong forum. Any help with your success stories and good outfitters would be appreciated. Am trying to do it in 2008. What are reasonable rates for guided, drop camp, or float trips. (some of the guided I saw on-line hunts gave me sticker shock.) Feel free to PM me. Thanks, Mark

I have made a decision to do a hunt in 2008 in Alaska. Jsut starting the planning now. Probably Moose, maybe a combo. I have not hunted there yet. Any recommendations> I am not sure whether it would be smarter to go with a guide the first time----for bear safety reasons and such. Also, not...

I am looking to buy one of these. Any tips on accuracy at given ranges. Is it a good long range shooter? May scope it for some states to help with range..... Any Colorado shooting tips? Looks like Buds gunshop is the spot, that or sportsmans warehouse. They both have it for about $340=...
