This is for non-residents. Do you think the points required to obtain limited entry deer tags will increase, stay the same, or possibly even decline in some areas? I know the thought of point requirements declining seems almost impossible in today's world, but I also think a ton of guys jumped...

Does anybody know if you can change your controlled hunt choices before the draw deadline. If so, do you know what the process is? Thanks,

I was wondering if those "in the know" could help me understand where all the ammo and components are actually going? I have heard many say that the everyday hoarder is to blame for the shortage, but that can't be the case. Here in Oregon, a very limited supply of ammo and components are even...

I DO NOT INTEND FOR THIS POST TO BE A POLITICAL DEBATE. I JUST REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING IN THESE CRAZY TIMES. So Facebook and Twitter deleted the president along with thousands of other conservative voices. I thought Trump getting shut down was possible, but I did not...

I was lucky enough to draw a speed goat super tag this year. I will be headed over to the country around Twin Falls to see what I might be able to find. Plan on getting there at least a couple days in advance of the opener and I should be able to make a second trip back later in the season if...

I was going to take my son on an African safari hunt for a graduation present. It's what he wants to do. I am looking at going with Tholo. Does anybody have experience with Tholo, and if so, how was it? Excavator

I am planning on starting to make my own bullets this year. I shoot a .300 Win Mag. This is probably overdue. I Was wondering if you guys might have a suggested list of equipment and supplies I need to acquire? Thanks, Excavator

I am going to be hunting near McCoy in a couple of weeks. I was wondering where the closest gas and store for ice, food, etc... are located? Also, do you happen to know what hours they are open? Thanks, Excavator

Can anyone else comment on the quality of vision in these Swaro 10x42 EL Range binoculars? I am looking at buying a pair of these, but I am hesitating because I have read that a few people feel that there is a loss in overall vision quality (low light situations, etc...). I really like the...

I have a mule deer hunt coming up, and I expect to be sitting and glassing for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, I injured my back pretty bad about 16 months ago, and I now have a sciatic nerve problem. It flares up when I am forced to sit for long periods of time. It is especially bad...

I bought a Sako A7 in 300 Win Mag, and I was wondering if anybody knew what factory ammo shoots well in this gun. To this point, I have only shot some Remington 180 grain accutip boat tails, and they are only getting about 1.5 MOA three shot groups. Does anybody have any suggestions...

Waited 15 years for this tag and finally got it. Really excited. Has anybody heard how this unit has been the past couple of years? I have heard a couple good reports. Thanks, Excavator

My Dad and I were able to get this bull tag after seven years of trying. If anybody has hunted this hunt in the past few years, I would love to hear from you by PM or other. Thanks, Excavator

Does anybody know when we should expect to see the elk draw results?

I am looking to take my son on a wild hog hunt in northern California during the early part of November. If any of you have any recommendations for a good outfit to use for a spot and stalk hog hunt, I would appreciate hearing them. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you prefer. Thanks, Excavator

My buddy and I drew a 54-2 elk tag for Wyoming this year. Even before applying for the hunt, I tried multiple times to get in touch with the big game biologist that covers our hunt area but with no luck. I have also recently called him with no success. In total, I have called him 6-7 times...

My Dad and I will be hunting 072-074 early rifle bull elk this year. He is 63, and I am 40. Our plan is to camp inside the Jarbidge Wilderness. We will be doing this DIY with the exception of someone to pack the elk out and maybe someone to pack us in. We have our sights set pretty high in...

I think most people have probably noticed the recent decline in Eastmans' Hunting Journal (For example, they consistently can't perform the most basic task of copying and pasting tag numbers, season dates, etc...) For them to let it get as bad as it is suggests to me that maybe we are seeing...

I was looking for a packer or someone willing to do some packing for a day here or there in the area north of Elko. This would be for next fall. If you know of someone, could you please send me a PM. Thanks, Excavator

Does any body know of any one interested in doing a little packing this fall on the Bear Tooth Plateau west of Clark? If you have any names or numbers, please send me a PM. Thanks, Excavator

Hey guys, I am working on trying to find my Dad a big bull hunt for 2015, and I thought you guys might know of some possible options. He has a few preference points in a few states, but in order to get the type of hunt he is looking for I am pretty sure we will need to do some sort of private...

Does anybody know the specific language for this rule/law and where it can be referenced. Thanks, Excavator

Has anybody heard much about these guys, or better yet, has anybody hunted with these guys? If so, I would appreciate hearing about your experience. I will be elk hunting with them. Thanks, Todd

Has anybody hunted with these guys? I am considering a private land elk hunt for my Dad, and it is not cheap. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Todd

I am drawn to these because they are lightweight and quick to set up, but....can they take the place of a wall tent? Have any of you guys used teepee tents? What do you think about them? Excavator

I just go back from the RMEF convention in Las Vegas. The Arizona Governors Elk Tag went for $382,000.00. That is the highest amount I have ever heard of for a single tag. Excavator

All, I want to take my twelve year old son on a tresspass rifle antelope hunt in southwest Montana in 2013. I have researched a fair amount on the web by googling, etc...but I was wondering if any of you have names or numbers that I could look up or call? Any information is appreciated...

I have a bit of a hard time staying warm in cold temperatures, and I was considering the Kennetrek Mountain Extreme 1000. I was wondering if anybody has used this boot, and how well it allows the moisture to escape your boots after you get sweated up? I want warm feet, but they won't be too...

I have a heck of a time staying warm when I get sweated up and then have to stop moving for more than about five or ten minutes. I just can't get the chill off of my skin. Currently, I use Underarmour heat gear or cold gear as my base layer. The cold gear seems to perform better, but it just...

Me, my twelve year old son Reese, and a friend of mine put in for antelope tags in Wyoming in the same area that my friend and I already had elk tags. Based on previous draw odds, the tag was supposed to be a slam dunk. I pretty much told my son Reese that we would be going antelope hunting in...

My son Nolan killed his first buck here in Oregon this year. It is a nice 4x5. He was thrilled to death!

My son Nolan just turned eleven, and he was able to hunt here in Oregon through the youth mentor program. He was able to harvest this nice blacktail buck. He is not the biggest guy quite yet, and in fact, he can't shoot free hand yet. So anyway, I built him a blind with a rest to sit in and...

I asked this same question in the shooting section, but maybe this is the appropriate section. Anway, I want to be able to be a good shot out to 600 yards and am wondering if it is necessary to upgrade my scope to something that can go past 9x? Is it necessary to have a higher power scope when...

I am trying to become a good rifle shooter out to about 600 yards. I was wondering what power of scope is best for that yardage. Is 9x sufficient or is something greater recommended? Right now I am set up with a standard 3x9 Leupold on a Remington 300 Win Mag. I am sure some of you know a...

I decided I need to invest in a pair of true quality hunting boots that need to be able to handle late season hunting (down to about ten degrees in the snow) and definitely be waterproof. I thought that the Insulated Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 400s were the ticket, but it sounds like they may...

Unit 065 Antelope, according to Wyoming Game and Fish stats, had no hunters with greater than zero preference points apply in the non-resident preference point special draw in 2011. Amazingly, 32 people with greater than zero prefernce points applied in the 2012 non-resident preferece point...

Well,I researched this unit a fair amount and decided to give it a shot. My dad and I have a point, and we put in for the special draw,so we should get the tag. If anybody has hunted these units before and does not mind sharing some information, a PM would be great. I am from western Oregon...

If someone had a Plateau/Fishlake/Thousand Lake LE Elk Tag and a Plateau Antelope tag, do you think it would be possible to do a combination elk/antelope hunt in the Fish Lake LE Bull Elk Tag Boundary? If so, would the animals be reasonably close together? I have the same question about Book...

I know a non-resident is supposed to be guided to be able to hunt in a Wyoming wilderness, but do they have to be fully guided? For example, can a non-resident do a drop camp in a wilderness through a "guide" or some sort of semi-guided hunt to satisfy the requirements. Does anybody have any...

I wanted to say thanks to the guys that provided information when I requested a little help on this unit before heading to New Mexico from Oregon. We ended up going two for three on the bulls. I killed a 270 six by six and my buddy killed a 304 six by seven. They both were shot on opening...
