Who else euros their heads while waiting for a mount …who else ends up struggling to lose the euro?

Seems like tailgate pics use to be lots more popular before everyone packed a cell phone on their hunts. I still try and take a few for nostalgia. Lets see some from everyone! Here are some from CO this year.

2023 ended up being one of the whirlwind years with more memories and adventures with family and friends than I deserve. I figured I'd post of quick summary as I do enjoy the pictures and stories shared on this site. 2023 actually kicked off in January as my brother drew Barbary tag in Texas...

Lots of talk about Utah elk hunts this year. Lots of changes with tag adds and shifts and lots of talk about quality and experiences so I figured I'd chime in and add a few pics as I enjoy seeing others. Decided to shift to the mid hunt this year with the addition of the added tags on Fishlake...

I have been reading about how the DWR is monetarily reliant on the deer tag sells in Utah. Question, what is the real value of a deer tag in Utah. I believe it is far north of current $40.00 charged for residents currently. If the issue is dollars for the DWR why are we so severely...

When AZ card hits dropped in March I knew 2022 was gonna be focused on elk. After weighing gas prices and work load I decided to look at hiring a guide for the first time. I talked to some here on MM and also reached out and researched for options. In the end I was sold on booking with Koury...

Long shot but I figured I'd at least not pass on an opportunity for some MM abuse. I drew a Unit 52 3rd season Private Land Only tag in the 2nd draw. I had a place set up to hunt on...that I was informed last night is no longer available. So goes the world of free market which I'm fine with...

I am guessing that this is the unit I was hit this week for on my card. I applied for this unit due to the later dates this year and no moon. Hoping for some good rut action. Any input on the unit would be greatly appreciated. Any one that is familiar with the caliber of bulls to...

My brother has a 3rd season deer tag for 52. I will be going out with him for a fun family hunt. We live about 12 hrs apart and hunts like this give us a chance to spend time together and keep building memories. My question is it worth buying an elk tag to have in my pocket. We will be...

Looking to purchase a 25-06. Preferably a Browning A Bolt, Remington BDL or Sako. Thanks All

Without question I am in agreement of a need to address technology and impact it is having on not just Utah’s mule deer but mule deer across the west. So many things could be done to positively impact the herd health. But instead we went after the Mr Potato Head of the issue, Baiting. Then...

Curious what everybody saw or heard about the spot and stalk cougar tags this year. I knew of one cat killed on the Zion during the rifle deer hunt, but that was it.

With all of the talk about unlimited any bull elk I think it would be a great time look at pushing for a 5 point or better on the Any Bull units. If we are looking at going unlimited this would be a way to insure that there would still be bulls left to mature a year or two and get the breeding...

Looking at doing a dual pedastal mount for the my last two muleys. Would love to see some ideas from everyone.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-31-18 AT 03:24PM (MST)[p]I figured I'd add to the long range debate and throw out some actually numbers from this past season. I spent 49 days on the Vernon Unit this past season. Talked to a lot of hunters on all three of the hunts and kept a close eye on the unit more so...

I know it may be a surprise to many on this site but I do actually go out and hunt on occasion (not just interweb bicker) I've spent most of my 44 years chasing Muleys in south central Utah and on the Cache Unit. Never thought much about the Vernon unit until I moved to Santaquin a few months...

Was able to go on my first whitetail hunt last week. It was definitely a different experience but I loved every minute of it. Hunted 10,000 low fence ranch in south Texas. First buck was considered a cull as he as was super narrow. To be honest I would have been have happy just taking this...

As I was saying last week...

Hmm, Just pasted that the Pauns rifle hunt goes through the end of Oct every year. The hunt would still start on the same day at the general rifle hunt. Interesting decision, that puts the rifle hunt in 2020 at 15 days. Whats your thoughts all?

After 6 years of hunting unit 27 for coues my son and I decided to switch to unit 23. Plenty of deer and some great bucks over the years in 27. But the last couple years with multiple face to face run ins with armed drug runners has us rethinking our coues deer hunting in New Mexico. I've got...

Couple pics of the pup this Nov. Utah Rooster Idaho Rooster Utah Rooster

This Nov I was able to send some amazing time chasing birds with my family and our dogs. Here are some pictures from a 3 week stretch that had us chasing in South Dakota, Idaho and Utah. I didn't type a bunch on this post I'll just let the pics speak for themselves. First trip was 4 days in...

There has been a lot of discussion on Longrange hunting recently. I've seen quite a few people referring to the comments of Boone and Crockett in regards to the issue. What I find most interesting about this is that in 2004 Leupold actually named their Longrange reticle the "Boone and Crockett...

It is totally unbelievable to me to see all the negative post about theDixie SFW chapter and the stance on Fedral Land issue. Yet at the very same time people are posting that the Feds are trying to shutdown a big chunk of the strip for another National Monument. That post has 1 comment...

After being eyeball deep in many debates, and antics myself I can without a doubt pinpoint the biggest enemy of the modern day hunters. Long range hunting.....Nope Special Interest Groups.....Nope Tag Cuts.....Nope Loss of Habitat.....Nope Loss of ethics.....Nope It's the INTERWEB!!! It's...

Just got my 2012 NM coues buck back from the taxi (my little brother). Figured I'd share a pic rather than just my usual opinion. On the wall In the field....Maybe not worth 2k but I like this pic! Love hunting these little guys, and they don't take up a ton of wall space. Think I better...

Well I have to admit I'm a muley addict and that usually means I don't apply for elk in Utah. But over the years I have hung on to 5 points and figured someday I might cash them in. Well after looking at odds and realizing I could draw an achery tag on the Fishlake I decided this would be the...

Just got back from a weekend down south fishing with the family. Spent the first day down in the lower country fishing one of the small creeks. The next day headed out to a little lake I havent fished in 19 years. After a decent hike we werent disapointed. A little rain and...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-13 AT 12:06PM (MST)[p]Can someone explain to why there are so many posters that disable there profiles. If you are willing to post your words why are you afraid to own them? You all scream for transparency yet personally hide behind screen names.

Had a great year in New Mexico. Hopefully more to come.

Just spent a week in NM with my little brother and some friends chasing coues bucks. I beleive I will return. Opening Morning sunrise. Can't ever walk past a tree like this without a picture. Sometimes you find a great place to glass from for 9 hrs! However 9 hrs in one spot is still 9...

Been seeing a very good bull on the Cache. If you're interested drop me a PM. He was there again last night.

Leaning back in my chair and chuckling as I read posts. Crazy times gents, crazy times

Two for two on NM draws the past two years. Barbary last year. Coues deer this year. Super excited to head south and spend some time with my little bro!!!!

As I have read the many posts and followed this debate talk I decided to take a little deeper look at real issue at hand. I have come to the conclusion that this debate really does not come down to the North American Model at all. It comes down to a bad blood fight and power struggle between...

Just finished up and sent in my application for NM. I ended up putting in for Coues. I have made two previous trips to NM, one to hunt quail and one to hunt Barbarys this past Feb. Both hunts ended with great memories. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a third trip this fall! I enjoy NM more...

Was talking to my brother this afternoon about his day checking does with the DWR. He said it was a really intresting and educational day. He talked to the helicopter pilot for a bit and was told that recently, over a two day period the pilot and his gunner had shot 55 coyotes in Bear...

LAST EDITED ON Mar-02-12 AT 01:00AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Mar-02-12 AT 00:56?AM (MST) I have listed a few Urban Legends of MM. Things that are always talked about but never really confirmed. I started a small list. Please feel free to add on. SFW Caymen Island Accounts Mossback Road...

Just curious how many of you out there think the state should continue the Dedicted Hunter Program? I have been in the program and while I enjoyed the added time afield I do not believe the added pressure is what our herds currently need. I also understand that the DWR counts on those labor...
