I'm hoping you all can educate me on the history of the limited entry draw system in Utah. I'm too young to remember what the system looked like before the current iteration. I assume that 23 years ago it was different (I say 23 because I think that's the max number of points one could have...

I guess this is one way to do it... http://time.com/4062403/bear-attack-montana-arm-throat-escape/

Zeke, I'm a long-time lurker, but seldom a poster to MM. However, I read your Big Horn Sheep Adventure thread and I just had to say congrats! Well done on the hunt and documenting your efforts, preparation, and success. Great read! I'm looking forward to future posts on the other hunts.

Just thought I'd throw this out there in case others aren't aware. I know Millard County is a hot spot for the spring light goose hunt. It will not open on February 28 as the proclamation originally stated, but will open Monday March 2 to accommodate the Snow Goose Festival around Gunnison...

I decided this year would be the first time I'd take my 5 year old daughter deer hunting with me. I convinced her mom to go, too. I wasn't sure what to expect out of them, so I tried to make it as easy as possible. The weather couldn't have been better for the two of them, either. We got out...

I am curious what rifle ranges any of you might recommend near the Salt Lake valley. I grew up in rural Utah and have never had to worry about finding a range near the city. But, I won't be able to make to my old man's house again before the general opener, and I want to shoot a couple more...

This is an odd topic, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. Has anyone ever used aspen, with the bark left on, for building furniture? Like many, I carved my wife's and my initials in a tree, and decided it might be cool to use that portion of the tree for a piece of furniture...

I realize this will be the same as asking whether Ford, Chevy, or Dodge is the best pick-up, but I am going to ask anyway. I recently moved to a new area (more urban) and I have decided the best way to hunt the nearby mountains will be archery. I have never hunted archery before, so over the...

I am curious about the Leupold CDS scopes that have come out. Anyone have one, and willing to give me an opinion on them? Are there other manufacturers that have a similar technology that will customize turrets/dials to a particular load? Thanks in advance!

I am curious who you all prefer to hunt with. I am trying to get my wife interested, but so far it hasn't gone well. Just after we were married she went on an elk hunt with me. She froze and got her legs got beaten up pretty bad while we were riding horses through some timber. Haven't gotten...

Greetings to all the MMers out there. I have only posted a few times, as I am barely more than a novice, and make no claim of being an expert in anything. But, I have enjoyed some great insight and hunting stories from you all over the years. As many are, I am becoming more frustrated with...

I just came across an article from a couple years ago. I don't remember hearing about it then, but my jaw dropped today when I read it. I know it is an extreme situation, but 400 wolves banding together!!! Wow. Not so sure it is a good idea to let them take over their former range in the...

I posted this in another forum, but I should have posted it here, since it was off the main topic of the other thread. I have an ethical question for you all. I am not trying to stir the pot, just curious what the ethical and/or courteous thing to do is, in this situation. Rumors of a wounded...

Greetings all... I am a LONG time lurker, but due to school commitments the last few years, I haven't really had any good hunting stories to share. But, I have a great story from last week's muzzie deer hunt. My dad and I had scouted a little, but Tuesday before the hunt we decided to saddle...

I have been shopping around for a bi-pod for my 300WSM and came across the SnipePod online. I have never seen one, so I was wondering what the consensus is; are they sturdy? worth the money? quiet? I like the ball-and-socket idea for increased range of motion. I also like that it is detachable...

I recently bought this Bushnell Rangefinder and have been very satisfied. I got a great deal on it, so I can't complain at all about the price. I have not had any problems ranging over 1000 yards, and I have stretched it out to as far as 1400 yards. One question I do have is whether or not...

I have followed MM for a long time, but just decided I ought to get an account and get some more advice from all of you experts. I am looking to buy a new scope for my 300 WSM. I am trying to decide between a Nikon Buckmaster and a Vortex Diamondback. I have used a Nikon before, but I have...
