I'm trying to decide between units 54 and 55 for a 2nd season mule deer hunt. I have 7 nonresident points, so should be able to draw either one (subject to how the new non-resident caps drive point creep!). Unit 55 issues fewer tags, which is a plus in terms of pressure, but Unit 54 seems to...

Hey guys, I posted the story of my NV unit 62, 64, 66-68 late rifle elk hunt in the NV forum, and thought you elk hunters might be interested: http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID41/2468.html#.VlCxPUu2NSU Bcmulie

Hey folks, I don't often post my hunts but after all of the help that I received from monstermuleys.com members on this hunt, I figure I better post up. First, though, thanks to all of those members who provided information and guidance, including: NVHNTR treedagain NECALI BigBuck23 3blade...

Hey everyone, I posted in the Nevada forum a couple weeks ago, but no responses so I thought I'd try the elk forum as well. I've got a late season bull elk tag for these units. I've collected maps, scouted extensively using Google Earth, read the Hunt Information Sheet and talked to a couple...

Hey guys, I've got a late season bull elk tag for these units. I've collected maps, scouted extensively using Google Earth, and read the Hunt Information Sheet for the unit, but I'd really like to hear from someone whose actually hunted the area. The units are huge, so I'm looking for a...

Hey guys, I've got a third season rifle tag for a CO unit that has plenty of oak brush, and am looking for any tips you might be able to offer on hunting oak brush. This will be my first time hunting the oak brush, so anything you are able to offer would be most welcome. Some of my questions...

Hey folks, I've accumulated a few bonus/preference points for muleys in a number of states and am anxious to burn some of them this year. I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out which ones to burn first. I have the following points, all as a non-resident: Utah (12); Nevada (7); Arizona...

Hey guys, My 72 year old dad and I drew Unit 81 antelope tags this year. I'd really like to help him get a good buck, so any and all information on this unit that anyone is prepared to share with us would be most appreciated. We also drew region F deer tags, so info on deer units 112 and 113...

I'm planning a trip to Wyoming for antelope in 2012 with my 70 year old dad, probably in September. We only have 2 points each, so there's not a lot of units in the western half of the state that we can draw as a sure thing. Unit 84 is one of the units that I am considering. Does anyone have...

I'm considering burning my Colorado points (6) this year on the early deer hunt in Unit 43. My plan would be to hunt the high country in the Maroon Bells Wilderness area. Is this hunt worth 6 points? How badly were the deer hit by the 07/08 winter? Am I likely to find many mature bucks...

Hey everyone, I drew a WY antelope tag this year (unit 87) and will be heading there for my first ever antelope hunt. I'm hoping that some of the expert antelope hunters might have a few tips for a first timer. I'd been interested in almost everything - how to trophy judge, behaviour tips...

I have max points for antelope in Wyoming, and am hoping to hunt there this year. I have narrowed my choices down to the above 3 units. Does anyone have any information or recommendations they would be willing to share on these units? I've seen Kilowatt's post on 93 from last year, but...

Hey guys, I know there's been lots of requests for info on Region H the past few years, but if there's still somebody out there willing to share info, I'd sure like to talk to him or her. I have a few general areas that I'd like to bounce off someone to see if they're worth checking out, and...

I'm heading out goat hunting next week, and would appreciate any tips any of you can give me on judging the trophy quality of mountain goats. I've got lots of info on distinguishing billies from nannies, but would like to learn more about distinguishing an 8" billy from a 9" billy from a 10"...

Anyone have any tips on judging mountain goats? I drew a tag up here in B.C. for this fall and want a good, mature billy, with at least 9" horns. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks. bcmulie

Any of you guys know when sitka blacktails normally shed their antlers? I'm hoping to head up to the Queen Charlotte Islands at the beginning of January to hunt sitkas, but want to make sure they'll still be packing antlers before I commit. Thanks for any help. bcmulie

For all of you Canadian MM members, you may want to consider this when voting in the federal election in January. The agenda seems to be pretty clear: Step 1: register all firearms. Step 2: ban handguns. Step 3: ban all guns. If you value your hunting and shooting rights, then it's time you...

After returning from a muley hunt in Colorado, I spent last week hunting whitetails in south-central B.C. with my dad and brother. Conditions were great, with fresh snow and the bucks rutting hard. I tagged my buck the first evening, and my dad and brother tagged their bucks on day two...

I promised DeerKing that I'd post a picture of my Colorado buck, if I happened to get one, so here he is. Not quite the calibre of buck I was looking for, but such is life. The first few days of the hunt I saw a few small and medium-sized bucks, the largest being a 140 class 3x4. My...

Here's a picture of three bighorns that will keep you awake tonight. I'll post some more, but wanted to first see how the scan turned out. By the way, these rams score 202, 202-4/8 and 196-6/8 respectively.

Here's a few more sheep pics for you. I would've posted them sooner but work has been crazy since I came back from vacation. I didn't have the monster bighorn pics in digital form, so you'll have to wait until the weekend when I have time to scan them into the computer. Hope these ones will...

I recently used some cases from a major manufacturer and had two of the cases separate at the base of the neck when fired(the neck entirely separated from the rest of the cartridge). The brass had been fired once previously with a load that I have been using for years without problems. When I...

Here are a couple of bucks that my brother and I connected on at the beginning of September. The bucks are far from huge, but it was a great hunt nonetheless. We backpacked into an alpine area in southern B.C. that we've hunted a few times previously. Saw about 15 bucks and 45 total deer...

I've drawn a rifle tag for Nevada Units 171-173 (opens October 2). My tentative plan is to backpack up Cow, Peavine or Ledbetter Canyons in the Toiyabe National Forest. If anyone has hunted this area, I would sure appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
