I’m booked to hunt Glenn Dean, Red Stag on the South Island end of this April and I’m thinking of taking my Raven Crossbow. Anyone done something like this and could give some feedback on the airline / NZ legal process? I’m still a bit undecided if it’s worth dealing with the bow travel issues...

Thanks - my question was more so about not wanting to overload the recommended safety checks for this barrel as I shoot for fun and play with different loads. I didn’t want to load too hot and have a problem. Thanks for taking the time to reply and the images.

I have a GM 1:28 50 SS Renegade drop in. I’m playing with loads. - what’s the max load powder the barrel can support safety? I’m mostly shoot Triple7. - anyone playing with the custom size bullets, 501 - any favorite loads that you love - I’m prep for a CO hunt Thanks for the help.

Congrats on a wonderful bull and all evolved, and thanks for the brothers post and sharing it. The bull was recovered, and I’d guess it fell to a hunter that will love that hunt memory with family and friends for the rest of his life - that’s what matters.

I’ve worked the deer checking stations as part of the “Dedicated Hunter” program so it’s not just DWR employees you see. I’ve been checked and overall had positive experiences - with a couple of exceptions. With so many ways to report violations now a days, I’d think the method of checking...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-17-19 AT 03:22PM (MST)[p]Congrats - one of the best elk photo?s posted this year, it's about friendship, family, and that wonderful thing called ?elk hunting? that really matters! Having old stinky on the ground is awesome too. Show a non-hunter a photo of a monster bull and...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-15-19 AT 08:05AM (MST)[p]Isn?t the point of the forum to learn, ask questions and get help? Not everyone on here has a vast network of elk hunting, has time off work, or rates elk hunting a priority over kids school and life. Of course hunters want to know someone with a tag...

I can give you some pointers - do some shooting beforehand for distance. I'll PM you.

Well I'm an elk hunter, in my blood, so any reason to look for elk and help a kid shoot his first I'm game for that. We will do our homework online and scouting. Thanks for the feedback thus far. I've pulled the mm archives and know several of common spots being listed - spent some time on the...

Long time MMer, putting out the word. My son drew this year, love any info on private land access or any other area?s you would like to share. He?s 17 and has had spike / cow tags but thus far has not closed the deal. Would be nice to put some horn on the ground. PM or post, Steve

With so much of the younger generation hunting in video games it's refreshing to see you interested without a background in hunting. I'm an old hunter and glad to help as I can. [email protected]

Drove off and left it at the Gooseberry trailhead in Fishlake, UT. Sure loved that pack frame, lasted longer then most of my wives. Worth a try to post. 8019951495 Steve

I hunted the unit for 18 days solo - be glad to offer up some pointers. PM me.

Thank you. Love to have a bit more response to bow hunters that have hunted it. Thanks again.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-06-16 AT 11:34AM (MST)[p]Long time bow hunter and MM guy. Yup drew the tag and doing homework, plan to start driving the unit soon. Love to chat with anyone willing to give up a few pointers and share past hunting stories. Bull Elk Hunt.

With my family being undecided because of conflicting work schedules, I find myself going Solo in Unit 12 for bears. So being I'm 53, have 18 bags (each about 50 lbs) of crushed bread / pastries and will also have about 8 buckets of carp / butcher meat it may be a good idea to extend an invite...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-08-16 AT 06:40PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Mar-08-16 AT 06:38?PM (MST) I'm heading up that way to bear hunt (from Utah), anyone provide some feedback on the road? I'm also looking at 21 / 21a.

Old time MM're here, drew the books / bow / deer this year. My work puts me in Hawaii for the first part of the seasion, so I'll be enjoying the hunt towards Sept. I'd guess most bow hunters will be home by then and the bucks will be brushing off a bit, wonderful time with a stick and string...

Wet horns on old bulls make my hart pump! Thanks Man.

Congrats - nice elk on open public hunt.

I'm an old bow hunter (51) and drew JAV-2-101. I'm coming down from Utah solo on this hunt and plan to take the week and enjoy some company and views. Anyone game to share a camp, I'd much enjoy trading a few stories when in NM. Shoot me a PM - thanks

Very cool Ron - keep it coming.

LAST EDITED ON Feb-18-12 AT 10:03AM (MST)[p]Thought I would share my new gun I just put together ? it's a 50cal 21" TC Renegade with a SS Green Mountain 1-28 twist. I just fell in love with Idahoron?s guns so I started to look around for used TC?s. I was surprised how often they would pop up...

Ron I'm still waiting for my gm 1-28 50 - it seems to be lost in the mail, but it's going to look like your tc ss renegade. I'll post a pick when I'm done.

ID has deer and elk CO has elk do they also have deer? I've just about got my gun put together and I'm wanting to test the water. Others?

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-11 AT 08:59AM (MST)[p]First wonderful job congrats! Just a word, a fast q-out add some Montana bull-pac" frames and you will never look back. With four guys it's a EASY two mile trip one time.

Thanks for the video - at 80 - 100 yards on a little deer and with that shot placement I won't use Aerolites.

So, I've been looking into building my own ML, shooting conicals mostly to hunt elk/deer. The gun needs to fill most state restrictions, CO, ID and any good Whitetail state. I have a 21? x 1?Green Mt barrel 1-28 twist, in stainless steel, 50 cal. Drop-in for the TC Renegade. I'd like to put a...

As many of you know the opening morning of the 2011 (spike) Utah elk hunt dumped some pretty good snow. When most stayed in their trucks we we're off on the ATV, and after a hike up the hill the morning produced some fun shooting. Photo is of my 14 year old son on his first elk hunt.

I hunted 7 years before I killed my first bull and now I kill one most every year and the years I don't I'm really close. So much can be done by simple homework. Most of the bulls killed in Utah in a gen open bull unit are two year old elk with pretty low odds of harvest. With just a few...

Hey does that dentist that fixed the wrong tooth also guide elk hunters? Well at least your friend has all his teeth. I recall some chat years back on mm with the same story guide jacked up the size, seems that outfitter kicked back some cash after the hunter posted his name, what's funny is...

I had bulls keeping me awake last night - let me know if I can help u [email protected]

Hey IPS quite jerking around and post a photo of the horns, the GPS location and give the hunter a chance to recover his (once in a lifetime) lost bull. Stop with all the guessing, and speculation. Only then should you feel good about keeping the horns (if the DWR lets you) ? if the hunter...

Ya I see it's like 98% private - still looking and making calls. Thanks for the note.

Not yet, I've looked at the Sandy Bluffs and I'm trying to call DWR for land owners. Could use some help however.

I drew ML Colorado unit 101 / 102, sure need some pointers from locals on this one. I've never taken a Whitetail deer before, I'm driving from Utah solo and self guided baby.

I'd get some help with three tags, will not be easy to fill 3 tags all on good bulls if you hunt together. I've hunted or helped on the ML twice and still tooks a week each hunt to tag out.

You may not want to try 10 bow, I know of one non-res with 18 going in --- ya it's me.

Trespass fee for Goats in WY ? dude take an hour call the F&G and check the harvest reports. I can't think of a hunt that's easier to get a permit and kill a critter. Now, if you want a book buck maybe a trespass tag.
