Thanks. I need to measure up the Fred Eichols Montana decoy and see if I need to make the horns appear smaller. J_T_B

This type of advice is what I am looking for. I have a Montana colapsable decoy and will take it but look over the situation before deciding to use it. We are on private ground and it is supposed to be lightly hunted. When I read the article I just could not feel comfortable imitating the animal...

I will hunt Wyoming in late Sept. J_T_B

Thanks Pretty cool! J_T_B

Hello MM"R"s, I have been studying antelope behavior and hunting methods. The American Hunter has an interesting article and it includes the idea of decoys and decoy hats where the hunter is also the decoy. I would like your opinion of the idea as to being successful and how risky it is...

Gentlemen. I am 73 yrs young and for the last couple of years have been using a crossbow instead of the compound more and more. I have ordered a new Raven bow and will soon set it up and practice for muleys and speed goats in Wyoming. I would like to hear from anyone who has experience...

He is-was the best as an announcer and driver. He has slowed over the last couple of years and did not ever really match well with Jeff. He was over the top Sunday with his analogy about being in a hot situation and peeing ice water. J_T_B

I tried that. Will double do it. Thanks J_T_B

Hello Gentlemen, I bought a used muzzleloader about 3 years ago. 1 yr old at the time. Topped with a Nikon 3x9 prostaff scope. I have shot it many times both in practicing and hunting. The crosshairs are suddenly "fuzzy". It still is accurate but there is something wrong and it will get...

Gentlemen, Thanks a ton for your p.m.'s Now we have a great place to begin our research. Its a good feeling to be treated nice. J_T_B

Hey full throttle, We need a nudge in the right direction. A suggestion on a unit and area. This is hard to ask. We can"t ask a fellow to give up hard earned info but can't just throw a dart at the map. Thats a large part of us willing to hire a guide for something semi guided or a...

Gentleman, My cousin and I have 17 Colorado deer points. We are interested in a semi guided or non guided private land deer hunt for 2019. Any help as to who to contact would be appreciated. We are getting up there in age and need to use our points. We don't need to kill a booner to be...

Theres a wonderful spring at Columbine campgrounds. The water is state tested. Its a great place to camp or you can camp just about everywhere if privacy is your goal. It is about as dry there as its ever been. You can learn the area and terrain but game and sign will be scarce. J_T_B

Thanks for all your answers. The new rage hypodermic was changed for bigger boned game by reducing the blades in length to cut a 1 1/2 inch incision and the blades are made thicker to not bend or break as easily as the originals. I read the regulations and was confused by the way they explain...

Hello' I will soon go archery elk hunting in Wyoming. I am planning to use rage hypodermic penetration plus heads. Simple question....are they legal to take elk in Wyoming? Thanks for help! J_T_B

Gentlemen, Thanks for all the help and suggestions. The outfitter has asked me to have the bow in a good hardcase....he will place it in a pannier for the trip in and out. He will provide bow scabbards for the daily hunting. When on foot I plan to have my quivver strapped to my backpack. We...

Thanks gentlemen.....I need all the advice I can get. J_T_B

Don't get me wrong. If I cannot handle a compound bow I would be more than happy to hunt elk with a crossbow. If you do you will have the same exact experience as far as the excitement of the hunt. As we get older or lose our ability to accurately shoot "regular" bows we have to adapt. J_T_B

Here in Illinois crossbow hunting has really took hold. I am 72 years old and still able to use my compound bow but also have and use a crossbow. We take a lot of does and use the meat for tablefare and especially to make deer sausage. The actual hunting experience is not as challenging but...

It is my belief that we will use the horses to get to the hunting areas and then dismount and tie the horses and actually pursue the elk on foot. The outfitter has semi permanent camps and most often the actual hunt area is several miles from a camp. I rifle hunted this area with him 4 years ago...

Thanks I will check it out! J_T_B

My son and I will be archery hunting in Wyoming in September from a basecamp and will ride from camp to the hunting areas. This will be new to us and we are wondering how to best accomplish transporting the bow when riding out to and returning from the hunt area. We are very green on this...

Hello and Happy 4th of July. Just shot my 32 arrows and plan to go to antique tractor parade and sip a cold one. Remind everybody to Be careful! J_T_B

No doubt Yetti's are great and durable coolers. I have not found the need to spend that much to get the job done. If I had one I would get a nice large NRA sticker and put it on the cooler where everybody could see where I stand. God Bless America J_T_B

ChubbyTuna Are you referring to the no peep sight made in Breese Illinois. If so and you have time PM me. I have one installed on a new bow and am preparing myself for an elk hunt this fall. I would much appreciate any tips or knowledge that could help me. J_T_B

You might be smart to tune up the one you have and save for another year. Prices have gone up and you will want to buy a bow that you can stick with for several years. As you spend more money it allows you to get much better shooting bows. Less vibration, quieter, and less chance to have a built...

Thank you gentlemen. I plan to buy one and start practicing with it installed and hopefully devise a plan to be able to carry it on my pack as well if it seems to benefit me. Really appreciate your time and advice! J_T_B

Thank you 264 I will view it on the webb! J_T_B

I am preparing for an elk hunt in the mountains of Wyoming. I just bought a new hoyt bow and will ready myself in the coming months. I am asking for advice on quivvers that I can attach to a backpack or my belt. I would appreciate suggestions and thoughts on the ups and downs of different ones...

Hello Harry, What a very nice post. You guys look like happy men......lots to be thankful about and not much to complain about. Good for you! J_T_B

Hey Camtopps.....move to the campfire and keep it going. Older GM trucks rule! J_T_B

I called two times to fish and wildlife and both times had good help. Both times I got ladies who took the trouble to look up the statistics for last years draw and give me the facts. They would not give me advice but quoted the statistics and said that if this years draw was similiar to last...

Jimmy, My son and cousin and I drew tags for 67 archery. Do you have archery or rifle tags? PM me if you would like to visit about our hunts. J_T_B

My group of 3 were successful!

My group of 3 were successful for archery 67! Were pumped!

Does anyone here go to meat or card shoots. I am interested in building or buying a new gun and am looking for information as to what action etc. J_T_B

I have to agree. I had dreams of an archery or muzzy tag for Colorado 61 but now have 12 points and will be lucky as hell to be healthy enough if I live long enough. I am not saying things are not fair but I have no suggestions on a more fair and equitable method to allot tags. I really...

I am in for a 067-9 tag paying the special price with a group of 3..... I hope we have enough points as I'm 71 and having to work hard to be physically up to the trek and then the hunt. I did it with a rifle 4 years ago and it was a blast. Good luck to all. J_T_B

If thats your biggest complaint you are in pretty good shape overall! I can't see any real harm. Maybe they should be biodegradable. J_T_B

What I was trying to get at is ......is it a fair draw. I hunt in different states , as I can, and therefore have no ill feelings for nr's that hunt in my state. Hunting is a wonderful privilige and just like life we all have different access to certain things. J_T_B
