I drew a 52 bull tag. Season is from Aug 1-29. 3 weeks away!!! I'm excited but freaking out. Never hunted elk that early. Thinking it?ll be hot! A chance at a bull in velvet really has me dreaming. Anyone ever had that hunt?

Looking for a spot to camp in 54. Only driven through, never hunted it. My 11 year old daughter was lucky enough to draw this tag. Season is Oct. 5-31. We are driving up from San Diego and my dad will be driving down from Montana. Setting up wall tent and would like to make it as memorable as...

I've been going nuts trying to get something to come in with this thing. My son and I added a "Woolly Bully" decoy to our set up and called in 4 dogs on 2 sets. First set he missed at 200 yards with his .17 HMR. Second set we had 2 working us and this one came smoking in. He center punched him...

My son and I are 1 tiny coyote for 14 attempts with the $500 Foxpro firestorm I bought. I'm trying to think of what else I could use it for. 1. Boat anchor (not heavy enough) 2. Wheel chock for my trailer (not strong enough) 3. To play music on (only if I want my favorite George Strait song to...

Since drawing my elk tag all I can do is think about how it will all play out. To say I'm excited is an extreme understatement. My wife and kids know how crazy I am and agreed to take a summer trip with me to check out my area. We also went to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, both were amazing! We...

After 8 years of applying I finally drew an archery elk tag. I want to take scouting a trip to my area in late August. I noticed that the archery deer season is open at that time and has over the counter tags. So my question is... Are there any deer in 6A? I know there is a ton of elk in the...

I finally took my new Foxpro out for the first time. I've been busting my butt with mouth calls for a while now, trying to get a coyote in close enough for my son to get a shot with his 17 hmr. This kid has been such a trooper and I am so proud of his dedication. I quit carrying my gun a while...

Well it was actually 22-250 vs coyote. I shot this small coyote a while back and when I went back to hunt the area two days later I saw this. I always wondered what would eat a coyote. Thought it was cool.

I've been out 4 times with my son since he got his new .17 for Christmas (no Santa didn't bring it Dad did) We are doing 3 or 4 sets each trip. He is shooting so good I feel sorry for the first thing, dog or cat, that comes in. However I can't get anything going. I'm using hand calls and it...

I want to install tracks on one of my ATVs. Wondering if anyone has them and what type you guys think are the best. We have snow machines too but it seems an ATV with tracks would be a little easier to ride. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

I haven't posted in a while but had to put this on. I wanted to get my son out of the house today. He broke his arm returning a kick at football practice and has been pretty bummed out. We only set up twice. In or first set up I called in a scrawny little dog and smoked him at about 100 yards...

I am making a stencil of some buck tracks to paint on some concrete. I want to make them as accurate as possible. Do the front tracks look much different than the rear? Are the rear the only ones that leave a dewclaw print? Also what would a big buck track measure? Not a freak huge track just a...

I bought 2 land owner tags from Dan Bishop at Cola Blanca Outfitters (Coues deer fame) for a self guided hint on one of his ranches in N.M. I took my 19 year old brother with me. Can't wait 'till this kid finishes college so he can sponsor me on a trip. We had an absolute blast!!! The ranch was...

I was wondering how you guys store your digital photos. I am finally getting into digital and out of 35mm cameras and my computer is filling up pretty quick with all the photos I have been taking. I am scared of this thing crashing or something. I just don't know if I trust those image hosting...

Just recieved this picture from my friend Dan Bishop of Cola Blanca Outfitters and Bishop Taxidermy. These are the two bucks I shot last year with him in mexico. Can't wait to go pick them up

LAST EDITED ON Mar-24-07 AT 00:49AM (MST)[p] Well I didn't draw anything in Arizona, just like the last five or so years . What a surprise. I want to do an archery deer or elk hunt of some kind. I really want to stick an arrow in a buck or bull (size doesn't really matter) I just want to get...

My dad shot this buck with Cola Blanca Outfitters in Sonora this past week. He sent me this picture from his camera phone. He shot the buck at 411 yards with the 300 wsm I bought him for his 50th birthday. I am so happy for him as he watched me shoot 2 bucks down there last year and came home...

Made a bad shot HELP!!! This afternoon my dad and I went to our local mountains to hunt pacific hybrids and I was able to sneak in on a nice buck. He was 40 yards broad side and had no idea I was there. I took the shot. I practice at 40 all the time and feel comfortable at that distance. Now...

Just found this water hole in my favorite canyon. Never knew it was there. Thought we would give this trail camera a try. This is a pretty nice buck for the area. It is a Pacific Hybrid near San Diego. He is standing 23 yards broadside to where we are putting our ground blind. Hope he comes back...

My Dad drew this tag for late Oct. I will be going with him to help so I have been researching the area a bit. Neither one of us have been to this area. We have talked to a few outfitters but would rather do it on our own. If anyone would be willing to share some info it would be greatly...

Which one of these cameras would you guys prefer? I am finaly ready to step up and get myself a good digital. I have been using a cannon 35mm for a long time but want to get into digatal for the convenience of it. Thanks for any advice.

I only have 2 preference points in Arizona for elk. I plan on making my annual donation to them this year and every year until I finaly draw. I was just wondering if I should even be exited about it or do I have alot more years to wait. Also is there any info available on what units I have a...

I recieved my Alpen Raineer 10x42's and compared them with my Zeiss 10x40's today for about a half hour. I can't believe how clear they are. I'm definatly not an optics expert but I was comparing them to the glasses that I've been using for a few years now and couldn't tell the difference. I...

Anyone know anything about the Ranier 10x42's? I just ordered some sight unseen (got a smokin' deal) but don't know what to expect.

We are planning a trip in july to a ranch near King City , Ca. to bow hunt Blacktails and were wondering if the deer would be rutting at that time or when they do rut. Here in southern Ca. the deer rut in late sept. or early oct. I beleive they are a type of Blacktail. The fish and game calls...

22-250 Ruger Leupold 6-20

I am looking for a lion hunt for this year. I realize the season is allmost over but would be willing to go on short notice. Posibly if there was a cancelation. We will be filming this hunt. Prefer to use a bow but don't have to, I know some guys like to see them dead before they hit the ground...

Any one know when these little deer around here (Pacific Hybrid)loose their horns? I'd appreciate any comments not too much written about these deer but they sure are pretty and a blast to chase around with a bow. Thanks
