I just watched a story on the today show where a cougar attacked a lady riding a bike with 4 other friends in Washington. The cougar grabbed the lady by the head and they were able to fight the woman free and they claim they were able to hold the cougar down with a bicycle until until...

OK, I know this is a hunting site. I will get my trash out of here as soon as possible. I have lived in AZ for almost 2 years now. In the 80's and 90's I fished a lot of bass tournaments. Now that I am retired I want to start bass fishing again. I just bought a new to me bass boat and I already...

I purchased this gun new roughly 25 years ago. About 15 years ago I sent it to a gunsmith in Utah. I can not remember his name but I believe he was linked to Double Tap Ammo. He installed a new stock, trigger, scope, and ballistic turret. At that time I believe the bill was about 2 grand. It...

This is my first year as a Resident. I never though I would have a chance to hunt north of the ditch with a rifle as I built points as a NR. I have 14 points going into this years draw so the early rifle tag looks like a sure thing. With the moisture we have had so far it looks like it could be...

I got the chance to go scout unit 34 for my upcoming muzzy elk hunt last weekend. I have spoke with a few MM'ers and as everyone told me there are elk pretty much everywhere. Bulls were talking till about 8 am then it was quiet till about 6 pm. As everyone told me killing a big bull will be a...

Just curious, I have 7 points for Javelina. I was a NR that was applying for deer, elk, and sheep. I just figured some day the points would come in handy. I moved here this May and will be hunting as a resident next year. Huntin' fool and epic do not cover javelina. Are there any javelina hunts...

In 2011 I drew a muzzy deer tag in Utah. I built a gun just for that hunt, Still has the 1x scope on it and has been in the safe since then. I could never use that gun in Oregon where I have muzzle hunted for years. Well I forgot how much Blackhorn 209 I used. All I can remember is it is...

I drew a NM elk tag this year. I can't remember but I do not think I chose the paperless route. When should I receive the tag in the mail?

I have put a vault door in a closet in my new home. I told the contractor I would finish the safe. I intended to cover the studs with fireproof coating, insulate with fire proof insulation, then double sheetrock it. The door is rated for 2300 degrees for 60 minutes. Am I wasting my time and...

I am retiring next month and moving to AZ. Since I will be closer I thought I would apply this year. With 2.5% odds I did not expect to draw. Well the tag gods decided to give me a retirement gift. If anyone would like to share their experiences in the unit I would love to hear them. Sounds like...

Don't know when or where but there might be some tags, can't tell you if it will be bull or cow, can't tell you what unit or how many tags. Just send us another $13/$15 dollars. Don't call us, we will call you..... Yeah, I will probably send them some money GAME...

Let me start by saying that I am 100% for personal freedom and no one should be forced to do anything. I never get the flu shot and rarely get sick. I had no intention of getting the vaccine. When the vaccine came out many of the businesses I frequent posted signs, Mask required unless...

A friend of mine is elk hunting unit 98 right now. His son missed a good bull with his bow and now they are rifle hunting. It has been tough as expected, they are NR and are hunting outside of the wilderness. They have two more days before they need to return home, his son is out of vacation...

My wife and I found this buck scouting before the archery season here in Oregon. He had a softball sized growth hanging from his neck and left cheek. I tried a stalk on him opening day but a herd of elk ran through his bedding area and buggered him up. My hunting buddy got to 70 yards on him on...

With Eastern Oregon moving to draw this year for archery deer we put in for our normal area as a second choice and we all received our tags. A fire burned our normal area so we had to move north and hunt new country. Some of the restrictions were lifted on the third day of our hunt and I was...

I have a antelope archery hunt here in Oregon next month. I spent 3 days scouting last weekend. I know the unit well but I continue to find water holes in new remote places. This weekend I found a new pond that has tremendous potential. Unfortunately there is a blind already set up on it...

So I got a email today for the 2022 Hunt Expo and it got me thinking about the odds from last year with not needing to validate in person. I looked up the number of applicants from last year and something did not seem quite right. I do not track the numbers to closely but I know 10 years ago the...

I will be hunting north central Colorado for 3rd season deer and wondered if anybody does skull boiling to go? If I luck into a monster I will cut the horns out of the skull and do a shoulder mount but anything else I would like to leave the skull intact. When we went to Utah we boiled our own...

Thanks in advance for tolerating me. Lets say I draw a 3rd season deer tag in a unit with OTC elk tags. I fill my tag on day 1, can I then go buy a elk tag or do I need to buy the tag before the 3rd elk season starts?

We have the points to draw 3rd season deer tags in either unit or we could get 4th season in unit 6. We are a couple points shy for unit 5 4th season. Is anyone familiar with these two units to compare them? How is over the counter elk hunting pressure during these deer hunts? Just at first...

In the past when doing the hunt applications, before you could apply for hunts it would either say that your license was current or it was expired and then make you purchase one before letting you choose hunts. Yesterday I did hunt applications for two friends. It let me choose all their hunts...

Our local archery shop here in southern Oregon has a techno hunt league every winter. I really enjoy it, it makes me shoot thru the year. Anyone else shoot archery leagues during the winter? For those that have never shot or seen techno hunt it is a movie of game that you shoot. When you hit the...

I am curious what you guys think. My wife and I are going to retire next year and we will start burning the points we have built up. We started one year too late so we are one under max. Doing my research there is plenty of information on unit 24 but very little on unit 1. We can only eat one...

Anyone watch the Born and Raised series on you tube? They did a couple archery elk hunts this year and I wondered if anyone recognizes the area they were hunting? I am mostly curious to know if it was general hunts or if they were hunting a limited entry area. Their first hunt was decent and...

Since covid started and a lot of things are closed around here my wife and I have binged watched shows. We are almost done with "Hell on wheels" and we may start something new. Here are my favorites so far. Yellowstone Hell on wheels Ozarks Deadwood Breaking Bad I have seen pieces of "Band of...

How bad do you think the odds will go for the NR expo tags? In the past there have been about 1500 applications for the 5 NR only tags. I am guessing 15k+ NR applicants this year. With the added revenue do you think NR will not be required to validate in person in the future?

A friend drew the unit 23 moose tag so we decided to make the 12 hour drive and spend a week scouting. We spent most of our time scouting the greys river drainage. I was amazed at how many empty camps were set up. I bet there were 50 trailers spread throughout the valley with no trucks around...

I like the idea of this new peep sight for muzzleloaders. It would be great for the states where we can not have a scope. But holy cow, at over $1100 with the custom turret doubt I will ever get one...

Is there a place that shows how many points applicants had that applied for a certain hunt? I will use unit 30 elk for a example. In the special draw it was 37.5 % chance of drawing with max points with 3 tags available to non-residents. There were 95 1st choice applicants. Regular draw was 10%...

I own a auto repair and have 3 employees that work for me. We have been in business since 1983. We always have a full schedule, typically it takes a week to get in. Since the virus and stay at home orders have started my business has plummeted. We have pre scheduled only 3 jobs for this week and...

What glue do you use to glue in your inserts? My local archery shop gave me a bunch of packets that come with arrows. It is for inserts but it does not seem very tough. My inserts seem to come out to easy. I went through 2 dozen arrows last night. I screwed in a rubber blunt tip and tried to...

There is some talk lately of expanding Idaho to include Eastern and Southern Oregon. I know these things never seem to get very far. I have been hearing of the state of Jefferson for decades. My question is this, what do the people of Idaho think? I am sure the conservatives in eastern Oregon...

Post up your 3 favorite game cam pictures. I am starting this because I want to practice with the new website format and frankly, we need to change the subject back to something fun

How do you pack your sidearm while hunting. My side holster interferes with the waist strap on my backpack so I often leave it behind where it is useless. I will be helping a friend this year on a moose hunt and the unit is on the fringe of grizzly territory. I want to carry ready to fire. What...

Just finished my hunt application. Am I the first MM'er to apply?

My friend and I have the points to draw the Deer tag in 87. My friend has no desire to rifle hunt, he is all about archery. Does anyone hunt this unit during the early archery season? I hear most people wait for the rifle season and that is understandable. But does the habitat in this unit make...

The box you check in the bottom of post to receive emails when someone post to a thread appears to not be working. Is it just me or are others having the same trouble? I checked my spam and trash folders and they are not ending up there.

I have been watching youtube videos on calling Javelina. It looks like a blast. Does anybody do it? Does everybody do it and make them call shy? My friends have archery tags in 21 in a few weeks. I am looking forward to glassing the desert, hopefully in the sunshine. Merry Christmas

So a protester was holding a baby trump balloon at the LSU vs Alabama game last week. A conservative redneck pulls over his pickup and puts on a Alabama t-shirt. He walks up to the protester and ask if he could get his picture taken with the balloon. Once he got a hold of it he pulled a knife...
