    Wife's First Deer

    My wife was able to take her first deer on Saturday morning with a rifle here in Nebraska. My friends and I had been seeing this all through bow season as he was a regular all over the property, he was very distinguishable with the white patches on his face. We named him Snowflake. He wasn't...

    I live in Omaha, NE and at that time you should be pretty well into the rut. Bucks are just not getting big into scrapes and rubs, I'll be out this weekend and hoping the rattling will start to work here.

    First Elk

    Got my first elk ever on Sunday. Saw a few bulls Saturday and Sunday morning but couldn't get up on any of them. Mid day Sunday we spotted a couple cows out in a field and the stalk was on. They were bedded in some tall grass and we couldn't see them once we reached the field. We set out...

    Idaho Transport Laws

    You can if you take it a commercial processor but not if you do it yourself they said. I suppose they are worried about somebody shoot a cow for meat and shooting a bull and just taking the antlers? Wanting to make sure that the sex of the meat matches what you said you shot. Thanks for the...

    Idaho Transport Laws

    Called up the IDF&G, sounds like I can't process everything while I'm out there except the largest piece of meat still has to have the proof sex on it until I get to residence in NE. Another question, are the Wildlife Check stations that they set pretty well marked when you are passing one? I...

    Idaho Transport Laws

    I did find something on that, if you take it to a commercial processor you are okay to transport without proof of sex. I do most of my own processing so I wouldn't fit under that unfortunately.

    Idaho Transport Laws

    I have been reading the regs on this and I will be hauling my animals from Idaho back to NE. I had originally planned on completely processing my animals time permitting but after reading the laws I need to leave evidence of sex attached to the largest portion of the meat. Does this mean that...

    Mule Deer velvet

    I'm headed to Idaho in a week for some mule deer hunting and I was wondering if they will still be in velvet? What time of year do they normally shed out? Most of the deer in NE shed out in the past week.

    RipCord Arrow Rest Customer Service

    Anybody looking for a new drop away rest I would highly recommend RipCord. I have had one for 3 years and then this fall it finally started to show some wear and tear and was dropping slow. I called the company they said to send it to them and they would either fix it the day they received it...

    Interesting Trail Cam Pic

    Anybody seen this before? Is it a dominance thing like male dogs? Was certainly a first for me, in the previous pics these two were sparring a little.
