I snuck in and watched this buck, waiting to get a good look at his antlers. For almost four hours he sat in the brush, then finally he stood and turned in my direction. At that instant, I knew he was a good mature deer and well worth taking. I dropped him with one shot at 118 yards. This is a...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-04-05 AT 09:33PM (MST)[p]Here?s a photo from my elk hunt this year?the story goes like this. First thing in the morning, opening day, I decided to pass on a couple of spikes. Then around noon this bull walked to within 30 yards of me. My first shot was to his shoulder...

It took me most of the season and I passed on a bunch of smaller bears, but I feel it payed off nicely.

Do any of you know where I can find a Warne base for my Omega? I have looked at Cabelas and Brownell's with no luck. Warne no longer sells direct. Thanks.

If the Idaho Department of Fish & Game is so committed to their Mule Deer Initiative (MDI) and how they are going to "Improve Mule Deer populations and hunter satisfactions across Southern Idaho" Why do they continue to increase the number of Mule Deer doe tags each year? Last year, for...

Is there still a waiting period in Nevada for deer? I can't seem to find it in the regs. If so, how long? Thanks.

According to The Idaho Statesman, the F & G Commission has changed the muzzleloader rules again. Now, apparently, the use of conical bullets will be allowed during traditional muzzleloader seasons. Greg

Have any of you hunted the general muzzleloader buck season on any of these properties in the northern region? If so which one and how was the whole experience? I have yet to hunt in Utah and I'm just curious. Thanks.

What should I do with five points for deer? Keep saving or use them? I am looking to kill a deer of 170 or bigger. I really enjoy muzzleloading but will do a centerfire hunt too. I'm from out of state but I'm willing to put in plenty of time scouting. Any advice?

With all factors being similar in regards to size and weight and quality, what power binocular would you pick for general purpose glassing out west in open country 8X or 10X ? Thanks. Greg

Here is a hunter I met last week while hunting. His buck is 22 inches wide and I thought it was a great looking non-typical that you guys would like to see. Congratulations Greg on a great buck and thanks for the hospitality.

Does anybody know what the finished weight of a Gold Tip Pro Hunter arrow (55/75) would be with nock, 3 plastic Duravanes and an insert, assuming the shaft is 27 inches long at 8.0 gr per inch. Thanks. Greg

A friend sent this to me and I thought it was a killer photo.:)

Well, I think most of the states have posted their draw results for the year. Everybody has made plans final or will very soon. So, where are you going and what are you hunting this year with your muzzleloader? I Have three hunts in the works. Sept. Muleys in Nevada (region 7) Oct. Muleys in...

Any of you see a refund check yet? Just wondering how long I'll have to wait? Guess I'll call them.

I put this on the general hunt page, but I thought I post it here too. Do you have a gear list for a 3-4 day solo backpack hunt for mule deer, that you could share. Packing-in be an option for me this year. Thanks.

Does anybody have a gear list for a 3-4 day solo backpack hunt? Could you help we out? Thanks.

With all the different animals on this page, I'm just wondering what you all are putting in for this year. I am still waiting a few more weeks for Idaho's regs. to come out before I make my final choice's. How about you?

LAST EDITED ON Mar-22-04 AT 11:28PM (MST)[p]Idaho muzzleloader hunters, you are about to loose the only unlimited muzzleloader Mule Deer hunt in S.W. Idaho. As you all know the unlimited (lower) muzzleloader hunt in unit 45 in recent years has grown dramatically in popularity. As of last year...

Any of you ever hunt here? Is this unit worth the three points it would take to get me in, or should I pass and save them for something better? Thanks. [email protected]

I put this on the muzzleloader page, but I thought I'd share it here too. I shot it last Saturday. http://community.webshots.com/photo/91092074/94749165dkSFOK

Post rut, spot and stalk hunting for Pronghorn Antelope is challenging to say the least. Trying to do it alone while using an iron sighted muzzleloader, in such wide open country makes it even more challenging. After almost a week of trying to set up a sure shot, things finally came together on...

I just bought an Antelope decoy for use in about two weeks. I am hunting with a muzzleloader with open sights in very sparse habitat, so I am looking for any angle to get within 100 yds. To those of you have decoyed Antelope before, I am looking for any tips or tricks that have worked for you...

I drew the High Desert elk tag! #278M I'm stunned, it's been years since I have been drawn for anything. Have any of you ever drawn this elk hunt before? Or hunted muleys in S.E Oregon and seen elk? If you have any useful info, anything at all, I would be so indebted to you. I would gladly...

I am interested in getting a 54 cal. rifle to shoot heavy conicals for Elk in a state that is rather strict regarding regulations. What are your thoughts on the Lyman Deerstalker with a 1 in 48 twist? I have all the basic questions, how is the fit and finish, weight, balance? Ease of cleaning...

I want to adjust the trigger on my Knight Bighorn. I don't want to lower the pull weight, as much as I would like to smooth it out. I can feel some creep. It is possible to without a gunsmith? If so, could somebody guide me through the process? and I'll give it a try. Thanks. Greg
