I recently had someone tell me that it was ok to drive a vehicle off road across BLM to retrieve downed game. Is this true? I tried to look up a regulation that said this was legal but couldn't find anything. I've heard of other states that have this rule, but I want to say there's a mile limit...

Listening to podcasts, daydreaming about September and just thought I'd throw this out there for conversation. Date: September 20th; Archery Elevation: 6,000 - 8,000 ft. Terrain: Steep draws to rolling foothills; mostly juniper trees ranging from really thick pockets to wide open areas. Not...

Would love to see some pics of anyone who has mounted a bull at a 45 or 90 degree turn. Trying to get some ideas and hoping to get a little extra ceiling clearance if the nose is tipped up slightly. Thanks!

Question for you taxidermists or others who have mounted elk sheds. How do you position and attach them? Manufactured skull plate (like mountain mikes)? Build your own plate? Use something different altogether? I have attached several deer sheds with no problem at all using mountain mikes...

Hey guys, I posted this in the taxidermy section, but figured I might get more responses here. Anyone care to share pics of shoulder mounts for low ceilings? I will have 10' ceilings in my new house, which aren't super low, but still low for an elk. I know there's a lot of full sneak poses...

Finally killed a good bull this year, and I guess I built my house about 3 months too early. LOL! Otherwise, I would have made sure to put a gable in somewhere to hang my elk mount! So, anyone got any ideas for poses that will work with a 10' ceiling? I'd rather have him on the wall than a...

Well, after 3 years of chasing these great animals, I finally got it done! This is my first elk ever, so I've been on cloud nine since Monday! GPS says we hiked 110 miles during the week, and finally connected on this bull about 2 miles from camp (the day we were scheduled to head home)...

Stained a set of sheds that turned out really good....posted in the elk forum. [http://www.monstermuleys.info/dcforum/DCForumID12/16050.html#.VE8W0cu9KSM]

Finally got around to staining some sheds I found on my hunt this year. I tried using the mud technique, but I guess the mud around me sucks for staining antlers. I ended up staining them in an unconventional way. I own a decorative concrete company, so I grabbed some concrete stain and started...

It's the 24th of September (last afternoon of the season) and you find a big lone bull 700 yards away in a pretty stalkable location. Wind is in your face the whole way to him, but only blowing 5 mph or less. Elk have been hit or miss on calling (both cow calls and bugles). What do you do...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-12-14 AT 01:28PM (MST)[p]So I'm looking at a map (actually several maps - USGS, topo maps, etc.) of my hunting area, none of which show a road going across a certain section of BLM land. However, when I physically get to this hunting area, there is a road going straight...

So which one of these would be your first choice? I think #2 is at the top of the list for me right now even with his giant 5th already busted off somehow (pretty sure it's broke and not just missing). #1 is a close second and one of the most symmetrical bulls I've seen. Any guesses on score...

Here's another one if anyone wants to throw out guesses. I've got this bull around 310". Short 1's and 3's, but a good top end and decent width since it looks like his widest point will be the tips of his beams. This is just a pretty bull. Don't think he's as big as the other bull I posted...

Here's a mini-timeline of a bull that's at the top of my list this year. Thought it was cool to be able to map his progression for the last month. Any guesses on score? Not that score really matters, just trying to get better at field judging elk. I'm confident in scoring deer, but not so...

Any thoughts on if this is a deer or a lion? Head says deer, but body says lion to me.

Now I can't remember which state this buck was from, but I seem to recall he was up in the Northwest somewhere...Idaho, Oregon, Washington...somewhere in there. Anyway, anyone have any pics of him this year? I don't recall anyone finding his sheds either. Brian's email flashed a pic of this buck...

Well, I got lucky and captured a couple bulls on my trail cams last weekend. There's no doubt the better one is a shooter (and boy did he ever pose for the camera), but I'm curious if anyone has any guesses on what these bulls will score when they finish out. I can't field judge elk near as...

Here's a few pics of what I think is a great bull. I went on the first archery hunt this year and got so friggin' close, but couldn't quite seal the deal. However, my cousin-in-law just got back from the muzzleloader hunt, and he tagged out on a great bull! I THINK this is the bull I was set...

Yes, I know they look amazingly bigger when they are walking away, but I'm interested to see what scores y'all come up with on the biggest of the three...I'm guessing around 175". Whatcha think?

This isn't really a hunting question, but figured the guys on here would know the answer. My folks recently bought some property in NM to run some cattle (some deeded, but mostly BLM lease acreage), and my dad keeps talking about taking the ranger out to fix water troughs or fence or round up...

Took my daughter out to the ranch for her first shed hunt over the weekend. We didn't find much, but she did help me with one, and I was able to snap a few pics...some that I'll remember forever! And just in case anyone is wondering, we roughed the shed out at about 63"...

For all of you that have been searching for a great knife sharpener, I just found the answer. I recently purchased the Work Sharp knife sharpener from Cabela's and man, this thing is awesome! I've always used Gatco sharpeners, and while they can put a great edge on a blade, it takes some...

So I have a muley mounted as a wall pedestal right now, but I recently finished a cedar stump that I was hoping to move my mount to (similar to Wade Hanks' pedestals advertised here on this site). I believe floor pedestal mounts come with a rod built into them that are used to attach the mount...

Hey guys, I'm curious to know anyone's thoughts on what causes mule deer to leave the high country. Is it temperature? Snow? Or just a mental calendar that tells the deer to start the migration? I've hunted the high country several times and in different states, but we almost exclusively put...

Didn't know who Luke Scott was before I read this article, but I think he's now one of my favorite players! I always enjoy reading about athletes or celebrities that embrace hunting and our other rights, as they seem to be few and far between. Yeah, the guy shot the deer on a high fenced...
