I'm wondering what the thoughts are out there on how the IDFG handled the sale of the resident elk tags for the capped zones this year (2021). For those that don't know, these tags are sold first-come, first served at the point of sale (POS) machines at venders and IDFG regional offices...

What are your thoughts on elk zones that have quotas on either A or B tags or both for residents? I bought a Diamond Creek Zone 'A' tag this morning at 10:00 AM online. When I tried to purchase one for my son at around 10:35 (work got in the way) the tags were sold out. I understand why there is...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-29-19 AT 10:58AM (MST)[p]Does anyone know what the system requirements are for a cellular trail camera to be compatible with Verizon Cellular? Do you have to get a SIM card through Verizon? Can you get activation for just a few months? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking into a universal digiscoping adapter for my cell phone. I'm tired of changing every time I get a new cell phone or cell phone case, or trying to use my set up with my friend's spotters. Does anyone know the outer diameter of the ocular lens for Swarovski ATM 25X50 eyepiece or Vortex...

I have been looking for several years for a Green Mountain LRH barrel to build my son a semi custom traditional muzzle loader like IdahoRon's rifles. Green Mountain discontinued these barrels in 2010 and they have become next to impossible to find. In my searches I have come across a few, but...

I came across an old archived post from 2002 where someone was asking what the LHS record book minimums were for elk. Nobody gave a link or good information of where to find this and since it was an archived thread, I wasn't able to reply, so I decided to post a new thread with a link to the...

I think this might be the same bull I had on my trail cameras last year. This is the same drainage and about 1/2 mile apart. What do you think? Is this the same bull? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/ehorman/Mobile%20Uploads/image.jpeg

LAST EDITED ON Aug-24-15 AT 07:39AM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]Here's a short video clip of an unexpected visitor on one of my elk wallow trail cameras. I'll have a deer tag in my pocket while sitting in tree stands over elk wallows, so I'd be happy if he makes a re-appearance during archery...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-24-15 AT 07:40AM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]Here's a little wallowing footage to get you guys fired up. These are two bulls I've been watching for awhile. I'd be happy to see either one of them under my tree stand come archery season. It's going to be a long week! It's a...

I just began bow hunting elk seriously last year. I tried to hunt elk with archery gear when I was younger, but was never successful. I had plenty of close calls, a few near misses, but something always blew the opportunity. I have always been more into mule deer hunting with firearms, (rifle...

I was swapping out the memory cards on my trail cameras this past weekend and had a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an SD card reader that plugged into my iPhone or connected with it via WiFi or blue tooth? Just wondering if anyone is aware of any such device/adapter that would allow...

I posted this in the archery forum, but haven't received any replies after several days. I got some photos of a bull on my trail camera on July 3. The bulls antlers seem to be fully developed and I was wondering if he would gain much more in tine length in the next month and a half. I was...

I got some photos of a bull on my trail camera on July 3rd. The bull's antlers seem to be fully developed and I was wondering if he will gain much more tine length in the next month and a half. I was surprised to see a bull with antlers this large this early in the summer. So, what are your...

I'm considering buying a Vortex Viper PST FFP 6-24-50 rifle scope to set up a long range shooting system. I'm undecided on the EBR-1 MOA reticle or the EBR-2C MOA reticle. Which of these reticles would be preferable for a long range shooting system. I'm also interested in any input on any...

I have a son-in-law who wants to start hunting and a 16 year old son with little deer hunting experience. I would like to take them on a hunt that they will see deer and have a chance at a buck. I'm considering the Unit #73 unlimited deer hunt. Without any detailed information, can anyone tell...

Does anyone know the ballistic coefficient of the 50 caliber 385 grain Hornady Great Plains bullet? I'd like to have a ballistic chart and need a ballistic coefficient to calculate the trajectory.

I also posted this over in the archery forum. Actually, I'm trying two new things this year. I have never used a tree stand to hunt anything. I have always been a spot and stalk hunter, down on the ground, running and gunning, calling, etc. This year I decided to give tree stand hunting for...

Actually, I'm trying two new things this year. I have never used a tree stand to hunt anything. I have always been a spot and stalk hunter, down on the ground, running and gunning, calling, etc. This year I decided to give tree stand hunting for elk a try. I know that to be successful with a...

Does anyone know if Green Mountain has stopped producing their LRH drop in barrels. I have searched everywhere online and can't seen to locate one. I'm looking for a 15/16" 50 caliber LRH replacement barrel that drops into a T/C Hawken or Renegade stock. My son fell in love with my rifle during...

Has anyone out there in MM Land used the GPS chips produced by huntinggpsmaps.com? I hunt most western states and have had many occasions when a land ownership chip in my GPS would have been ideal. I have been to their website and read the testimonials. Everything sounds great! I just wanted to...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-09-12 AT 02:15PM (MST)[p]My 13-year-old son got it done Friday! This was our seventh trip out to the unit. This was a long, challenging, frustrating hunt. Antelope are so hard to stalk or get within muzzleloader range in this virtually flat unit. There is very little...

Here are some screen captures of a buck I video taped on Friday. What do you think he would score? Thanks for looking, Smokepoler63

I just got my 2010 Colorado buck back along with a buck I killed with a muzzle loader back in 1995 that I had re-mounted. I've used a few taxidermists over the years, but I've found a new one I'm sticking with. Ty Clingler of Fall Taxidermy of St. Anthony (Parker) Idaho is a phenomenal artist...

I was disappointed when I didn't draw the muzzleloader pronghorn tag I had applied for in Idaho this year. I decided to try again in the second drawing. There were seven tags available that people hadn't purchased by the August 1st deadline. I knew the odds would be tough, but thought I would...

The Idaho second draw (pronghorn) results are available through the back door. Just went through the back door, (online license sales), and found out that my buddy and I were drawn for a muzzy pronghorn tag. I can't wait to use my muzzy on speed goats! Good luck to all in the draws. Smokepoler63

Help, I intend to burn my 11 non-resident Colorado deer points this year. I have too many points for many areas, but not enough to draw the elite units while still young enough to hunt them. I've heard good things about both units, but am not sure which would be a better hunt. I'm not looking...

Just saw the Mundy buck for sale on ebay. For a cool $140,000.00 it can be yours. Here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/world-record-mule-deer-antlers-for-sale-Mundy-Buck_W0QQitemZ250530161664QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a54c2e400 Good luck and happy bidding, Smokepoler63

I am looking at getting a 10' X 14' canvas tent. I have looked at both the Springbar family camper and the Kodiak Canvas in the same size. They seem almost identical, but the Kodiak is less money. Does anyone have first hand knowledge about these two tents? Which one would you recommend...

Just received these photos vis e-mail of a Bobcat road hunting winter range deer. I would have been shooting a rifle rather than a camera. Hope these haven't been posted already.

Here are a couple of video clips that any long range or sniper enthusiast would find interesting. This round and weapon system are incredible! I wonder how a system like this would effect my success rate out elk hunting? LOL, just kidding. It is amazing what they are able to do with this...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-03-08 AT 06:11PM (MST)[p]We have been hunting in Montana six out of the last seven years. The first year was a learning curve and we struggled to find decent bucks. We have had pretty good hunts since then. These aren't big bruisers like you would kill on limited entry...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-08 AT 11:26PM (MST)[p]Region 6 has a whitetail surplus and Montana FWP needs hunters to thin the herds. They are offering up to 7 deer B tags per hunter. You must first purchase a 699-00 tag which costs $10 for residents and $75 for non-residents. Then you can purchase up...

I received this email this week. Here is what the email said about the bull: Dan Agnew is from Vancouver , WA . This governor's tag cost him $65,000. Dan also has bought several Arizona governor's tags over the past 10 years and killed several bulls in Arizona with John McClendon over 400"...
