I have had several leases for years, however this year one of the ranches wants me to have liability insurance. Does anyone have a company they use for hunting liability insurance. I have surfed he web and haven't really found much. Anyone have any experience with this? Rich

Greetings everyone, I try to do something like his every year. I hunted he same general area during 3rd season in Colorado for the last 20 years or so. The areas I hunt are Grand Mesa, Gunnison, Paonia and Montrose depending on the year. I hit at least 2 seasons every year for deer with...

Well boys the draws are all but over, where are you going this fall. I will start it out. September muzzy elk in Colorado October deer for my kids in eastern Oregon and I might try blacktails for a change Wyoming deer in October Montana deer in November South Dakota whitetails in November...

If you drew a tag of a lifetime and had to option to pick the brains of Monster Muley members for mule deer hunting wisdom or advice, who are you choosing? Here are my picks. My picks are based on discussions with them, their success and knowledge about mule deer. I would pick anyone of...

I did some looking at the history of region G, because it is the unit I get asked most about when folks are looking at point creep. I found some interesting trends by looking at the raw data from the last 3 years. You can make your own conclusions from the data. Region G (quotas): 2018...

I have always taken an interest in numbers and draw odds. I watch folks every year on draw day telling me what tags they are going to draw, with me knowing good and well they will get beat by point creep. I find it also interesting that the publications all vie for the most "accurate draw...

Looks like Colorado is getting in on the NR action. This bill limits NR tags to 33 percent excluding leftovers. It now is 80/20 if it takes more than 6 points for a resident to draw and 65/35 if it doesn't. Looks like a net loss of 2 percent of NR tags. I'm sure this is just the start like...

Greetings, I try to do one nice thing a year, so I thought I would start out this year and get it done early. Are you ready, my public service announcement to help you throughout the year is: "There will be a great point creep of epic proportions in 2021, like no one has ever seen before...

I am a long time member here who has 15 NR elk points for Nevada. I have been applying for 111-115 for years as I know a couple of folks that have had that late tag and have done very well. I will be 56 by this hunting season and even with 15 points, my odds are around 1 percent for the...

Since everyone is transitioning from this seasons hunts to next season application periods let’s post photos of bucks that were taken this year and you let that deer walk. Add the state if you dare. Gives folks some hope there are still some out there. This guy is still alive in Colorado

I thought I would share some pics of my Colorado muzzy bull from this year. Rich

I have always wanted to get updates from folks that have good tags and are on the hunt. I have thought about doing the hunt adventures, but not sure that the was right forum. I have quite a few friends on MM that send photos back and forth during the hunt to each other and always thought that it...

I’m a mule deer hunter at heart, but chase other critters when there is time in the fall. I was like a bunch of you. I started the points game in WY from the beginning for deer, elk and antelope. I had my eyes on a few areas and called my friend ICMDEER here on MM. Jim owns triple creek hunts...

I have some videos of some bulls that are on my I-phone. When I try to share them they say they are too big. How do you shorten them to share with you guys. I have a bull from last year muzzy season in Colorado I would love to get opinions on. If you know the tricks please let me know. I could...

I apply for MT every year. Had a few guys I know not apply this year. There has been a steady increase in applications in recent years. Did you do anything different this year due to the bat flu. Rich

I have been collecting points for a few years and this year is the year I am going to hunt. South Dakota seems very slow in publishing the hunting dates for the upcoming seasons. In 2017 and 2018 the season started on the 2nd Saturday in November. In 2019 the season started on the 3rd...

Colorado is my favorite place to chase mule deer and have been going after them there for years. This year I was there during muzzy, second and fourth season. I saw a drastic reduction in mule deer numbers this year from last. I know the weather was not conducive with snow in 2nd and that was...

Family had a few mule deer tags this year. We just finished up our 19 planning. Looks to be another great year. I spent about 50 days chasing mule deer this year in October and November. http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2019/537436e16116b66fd498fa7c8309a37467012.jpeg Middle...

Anyone know what the deer/elk combo and deer combo non-resident draw odds for 2018 were? I know the deer/elk wasn't 100 percent because I didn't draw this year. Rich

So, let's start a thread on what you saw this year while hunting. No exact locations, just general areas and if it was up/down/steady from previous years. We spend a bunch of time speculating about the winter and horn growth before the seasons. Oregon: Down-in a death spiral Colorado...

I spend all year planning next years hunts. This year the family will be doing some travelling. Where are you guys headed? Alberta fall bear-Wife Oregon deer-all of the family Oregon elk-oldest son Colorado deer 2nd season-me Colorado elk 2nd season-me Colorado 3rd season deer-Dad Colorado...

Drew my tag with no points. Didn?t expect that. Rich

Anyone going? I will be there at Bear Paw from Peace River, Alberta?s booth. Stop by and say hello. We will have lots of Muley pics for you to look at. Rich

My 76 year old father wanted to draw a 4th season tag this year and had the points so he picked unit 33. Unfortunately, last Sunday he fell in the backyard and now has two spiral fractures in his leg and will require surgery next week when the swelling goes down. So, I will begin the process...

Since most of the major draws are done except Idaho, where are all you monstermuley folks headed for mule deer this year. I try to concentrate on mule deer and throw in other hunts if I have openings. Here is my list for the year, CO-Muzzy deer 411/52/521 Wife's tag OR-Deer-Columbia Basin-I...

Looking for some information on this hunt. I have completed some research, but nothing beats boots on the ground. I will make a couple of scouting trips in July and August to learn the entire unit and look around. I have helped tons of folks on here in the past with CO, WY and other states. I...

This winter looks like it could be shaping up to kill a bunch of mule deer. I thought we could update how your neck of the woods weather is playing out. Oregon has way above normal snow so far this year. November was normal but December has been very cold and it's been snowing very heavily all...

Was looking for bucks and found this one feeding early afternoon. Can you find his buddy? Thought it was a cool picture. Rich

Interested in where everyone is chasing mule deer this year. I have a few other hunts but the ones that matter are mule deer hunts. The draws are pretty much done so I will go first. List the month, weapon and state. Some folks are a little testy on units so I will leave those out. September...

Any other MM folks going to be hunting goats this year beside me? Rich

Just got back from Alberta. Can't get enough mule deer hunting. I have received a few PM's about next year already and it seems like the CO seasons have got folks ready for next year already and it got me thinking. How soon do you guys make your plans and how many hunts can you effectively do...

Any of the MM faithful have their knee replaced. I have waited as long as I can and the pain is just too much. Looking at December for surgery. I have heard others that have had good luck with it but most are not avid hunters. Anyone else out there in the same boat? Rich

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-15 AT 09:44PM (MST)[p]I was bear hunting in imnaha and found this wolf. It appeared to be a young male that was collared. To the left of him you can see two elk bulls and on the right was a herd of cows. He was not afraid at all and had the eyes of Michael Jackson in the...

Has anyone seen the quotas this year yet. Wondering if there will be an increase in quotas in certain areas. Rich

I was thinking about cashing my antelope points in this year. Fits my schedule and I have not hunted goats for awhile. Did anyone hunt these units last year. I know it looks like tags were reduced due to the previous drought. I am going to monitor the moisture levels this year prior to...

The 2014 Nevada stats are up on the website. Rich

2014 Colorado muzzle loader mule deer taken by my wife this year. It has been scored for the long hunter record book. No prizes, just breaking up the January boredom. I will post score in a few days, Rich

LAST EDITED ON Aug-18-14 AT 10:47PM (MST)[p]So, how many Muley hunts are in your future this year. Some archery have already started. So here is my list. 1) hunt with my wife (her tag) on CO muzzle loader deer tag 2) Mentor my 10 year old son on my Eastern Oregon deer tag 3) CO 2nd season...

Read as much as I can about the CO rules. I am new to MZ hunting so it still is a bit confusing. I have a Knight 50 cal Bighorn. I will be using 209 primers but after that I am open to suggestions. What primer, powder and bullet do you recommend for deer? I am confused on what powders are...

Was wondering if the quota changes to most of the antelope hunts and some of the deer hunts made you change your choices prior to the deadline. I am hoping for a deer tag with max points. Rich
