I just got back from a Colorado elk hunt. We were camped around 8500-9000 feet elevation and I noticed a lot of wall tents with propane bottles outside and a hose running in for the heater. These tents had no wood stove chimney so the propane must have been the heat source. My question is...

How has the winter been in the Gunnison area? Planning to apply for unit 67 but want to see how the deer have made it through the winter so far before we use out points there. Thanks

Trying to decide on what unit to apply for in Colorado this year for deer. We have 6 points-nonresident. We were thinking 22 second season, but hear lots of people saying that would be a tough hunt second season. Was also looking at 68,681,3,11,211. Any input or suggestions would be...

Has anyone ever restocked the older Ruger M77? I want to restock mine but there are few stocks available from what I see. Looks like McMillan and boyds are all I found. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks

Headed to Wyoming in 3 weeks to elk hunt unit 23. Having trouble focusing on work as this is my only hunt this year. Hope the next few weeks pass quickly. Who else is ready to hit the highway?

My hunting partner and I have 7 points for elk in Wyoming. We are thinking of applying for unit 23 but I have read a few reports that make me rethink that. Does anyone have any suggestions on other units to look into? Any thoughts on unit 23? Some say elk are on private mostly, but the...

I was able to take this Region G buck this year. We hiked in each morning 3-4 miles to hunt and it was a tough but rewarding hunt. Region G has lots of beautiful country and it was a bonus to see moose and elk also on the trip.

I have a question about the roads in Wyoming region G. We should have more than enough points to draw and are planning on hitting trailheads away from main roads that horse trailers can not drive to. How are the roads leading to the harder to reach trail heads? Will a standard 4x4 truck be ok...

Thought I would share a picture of my dads 2014 Nevada buck. He is 28.5" wide 3x3 and with the two cheaters on one side he just touched the 30" mark.

Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in central California? I have an older Ruger M77R that needs the finish restored (may have it cerakoted) and I may re-barrel the gun also. Thanks for any help.

My buddy and I drew antelope in unit 90-1. Any info would be appreciated. We plan to camp so if anyone can recommend a good location for camping it would be appreciated. Thanks

I was wondering for those of you that have a CDS on their Leupold scopes what max. yardage the dial goes to. I have gotten different answers from Leupold varying from 500-750 yards for my gun. I want the zero stop and it will be on a 270wsm shooting 140 gr accubonds at 3250 fps. Thanks for...

I have looked on line just about everywhere and I can not find any Winchester Supereme 140 grain accubonds in 270 WSM. Does anyone know where some are available? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has sent in an older VXII 3-9 scope and had them install the CDS system on the scope? Not sure this is even possible to do. I will try to call them later, but thought I would see if anyone already had the info. Thanks.

I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on where a guy could go around Reno to look at bucks during the rut and winter. I know some of the bucks come into some residential areas but was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I may take a ride later this year to...

I am looking at either a Rhino or a Ranger to use on my farm and take to the hills on occasion. Just wondering which one people prefer. Things I am wondering is belt life, how it handles off road, down hill engine braking etc. Thanks for input.

Is the Hornady SST a elk bullet? I was wondering if it is ok to use in my 30-06. Thanks

I am looking at getting some of the microtex pants from Cabelas and was wondering if I should get the regular or the insulated ones. They will mainly be used on mid to late October hunts in the western states. I would wear a good base layer under them if it was real cold but cant decide if I...

We drew first season bull tags for unit 12. We were planning on hunting the Vaughn lake area and to the west of that. Heard the elk will be in the tale end of the rut for this hunt. Was just wondering how the herd is doing and if people thought this would be a good starting point. We plan to...

A buddy and I each have 3 pts for antelope and are non residents. We were thinking of applying for unit 67 or 68 in 2013. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good unit for antelope that we can draw with our points? Thanks for any advice.

I few years ago I sent my scope to Leupold and they installed a custom reticle for my factory load. It works great out to 500 yards which is the last dot. I was told they only go out to 500 yards with their marks, but suspect they may make them go farther for special orders. Does anyone have...

Well I drew 032,034,035 antelope this year for Nevada. Any input would be appreciated. Hunted up there in 1996 (unit 034), but haven't been there since. How are the roads for a stock 4x4 etc. I was going to concentrate on unit 034, but I hear that 032 is good also. Does 032 get more pressure...

Here is my 27.5" wide 2011 Nevada buck. Dustin Clark from Medford Oregon did a great job with this wall pedistal.

Can someone give me some help posting pictures. I tried to post a picture of my buck back from the taxidermist, but it didn't work.

Here is my 2011 Nevada buck back from the taxidermist. Dustin Clark from Medford OR mounted the buck on a wall pedistal form. It turned out great.

If a person draws more that one tag in Nevada can they return one tag and get their points back for that hunt. Just wondering what the rules are in case a person can't go on two hunts in the same year. Thanks

I currently am shooting a 270wsm with a Leupold scope that has the custom reticle in it. It is dialed in for 575 yards and is accurate. I am thinking of setting up a rifle for deer and elk that would be good to about 800 yards with a custom scope (reticle or turrets). My question is what...

I am in the market for a new 4x4 truck and have a question about chains on them. I am considering a Ford F150 or a GMC 1500. Does anyone have a 2010 or newer truck and run chains on them on the front axle? Thanks

I have been using Redwing and Irish Setter boots for years and have been having problems lately. The sole starts to separate from the boot. This has happend on two pairs of mine and a pair of my dads. Just wondering what brand to buy next.

I am looking at getting a pair of two way radios and can't decide between Motorola or Cobra. I am looking at the 35 mile range in each brand, which I know won't reach that far. Anyone have experience with either brand. I am leaning towards the Cobra models.

Has anyone used an outfitter for drop camps in Colorado? We are looking for elk and deer for 2011 season. Any recomendations are appreciated. Thanks.

I would like to know what trucks you guys are putting chains on the front axles of. Most of the new half ton trucks don't allow chains up front. I have a 2006 dodge 2500 diesel with 265/70r17 tires and it says no chains up front with that tire size. So far I haven't needed to chain up with...

I just received my custom turret from kenton industries and have a question. My scope is a Leupold VXIII 4.5-14 and is only 2 years old. The adjustment knob has a plastic cap with gold lettering on it that supposedly covers the coin slot. Has anyone removed this to install a custom turret...

I have noticed that the stores I go to have a lot of winchester rifle ammunition on the shelves while the federal and remington is pretty low. I assume people buy less winchester rifle ammo from the way it looks. How is their ammo? Is their accubond the same as the nosler accubond bullet...

Just curious when you sight in your rifle do you put the scope on high or low magnification? I like to sight in on the higher magnification so I can have the same aiming point, easier to see target. Does magnification affect point of aim? Thanks, Louie

I was thinking of trying some Hornady ammunition in my hunting rifles. It is cheaper that federal premium and Remington premium shells. How is the quality of the loads and are they generally accurate? Thanks, Louie

I am looking towards next deer season and was just thinking about what units to apply for. I was in the northwest corner this year 011-013 and 033 and we saw deer, just no big deer. From what I have seen and heard from other hunters the northwest corner of Nevada isn't what it use to be, not...
