I'm hoping to have a discussion about this subject. I've read over and over again about the Colorado deer move to lower elevation when as big snow storm hits. I get that but I'm having a hard time understanding when people say " the 2nd rifle was better because it snowed that week, then it...

I was going to make this post in a few more months but then I started thinking maybe I can help someone before then on a Utah hunt. So I thought I'd get the ball rolling now. I have been building points towards hunting deer in unit 66 3rd rifle but I just can't seem to catch up to the point...

This might be a long shot but about 10 years ago on the muleymadness forum there was a forum member that went by Coloradov. I talked to him through PM's about hunting Colorado a few times but never got his name. Since then, that other forum has completely died. Anyone know if he spends time on MM?

If anyone is planning on hunting the any bull muzzy. You better plan on standing in line, starting around 5am tomorrow or you probably won't get a tag. My prediction is those 1st season and muzzy tags will be selling out by 10am this year. It makes no sense at all to have the muzzy tags as part...

Friday, November 4 As the sun was coming up over the Oquirrh Mountains, Tom and I headed out on another hunting adventure; this time, it would be after elk with our muzzleloaders. We hadn’t traveled more than a few miles out of town when we came across a dandy buck chasing a doe. It had a 180”...

Here's a few good general season bulls I ran across last weekend.

I'm in the market for a new phone and have narrowed it down to these two. Anyone own one of these? I'd like to hear some pros and cons. I've read some different reviews but I was hoping to get some input . Would one be better than the other for digiscoping?

Anyone using this rifle? I'm wondering what load your using.

Look at the time line of these pictures. On this day, my FIL and I worked on a blind on a high spot about 200-300 yards above this bedding area. About an hour later, we left the blind spot and walked down to check a camera I had set up in some pines. We were not being quiet at all. This is what...

With less than two weeks until the archery opener, I thought I'd share these videos of velvet bucks that I've come across scouting or during the hunt in the last few years. Hopefully it gets a few of you excited about chasing those velvet muleys.

Slam, here's my reasoning concerning ethics and fair chase. We've already discussed that a high percentage of muzzy hunters are taking shots or killing their animals under 300 yards. In fact, the majority is probably under 200 yards. If you do some research you'll see that scopes were used on...

I've got a left handed weatherby markV accumark in 7mm Remington mag. It's topped with a vortex viper HS 4-16x44. I know weatherby no longer makes a left handed 7mm in the markV series but I don't really know if that's any more value or not. I'm thinking of asking $1,500 for the set up but not...

have a older savage 110 H series 30-06. Probably built in the 1970s. I've tried Google but couldn't find much on this question. Does anyone have any insight about what rifling twist this gun might have?

A friend of mine from Idaho want to hunt this unit and season this fall but has zero points. If someone with 4+ points wants to put in with him. I'd be willing to share some of my honey holes with you and make it worth your while because I've hunted that unit several times in the past. Send me a...

I find it really frustrating to hear and see all the false information floating around. Starting with last year, all the talk that "baiting" of any type had been completely banned. This is not true and a completely false statement but there are a lot of people that believe it to be true. I even...

Well at least I feel like these are some of the better bucks I've seen while scouting the past few year. I wished Utah wasn't such a crappy place to hunt and all I can find is a bunch of "pisscutters". Maybe I should just give up if this is all I can find while up on the hill. Now that last...

I'm thinking about going over to the Gunnison basin with my wife and check out the country next summer, maybe around early June. For those who have taken some of the scenic train rides in Colorado. Which ones would you recommend? I don't mind driving a few hours out of my way while traveling...

Here's a short video of some velvet bucks I've ran across the past few year. Some of the pictures are from trail cams, others from walking around with camera in hand and others were just holding a camera up to my spotting scope of bucks well over a mile away. Because I have so many pictures of...

I just created a youtube slide show and a little bit of video footage of bucks I've seen during hunting season or scouting the past few years. I'd like some feedback, do you like this type of video?

Here some bulls I was able to get on film this past year. Hopefully next year, I'll be able to get more and better video footage with the phoneskope adapter that I won on this site last month. Enjoy

I found this buck scouting this past year and a relative ended up getting it on the last day of the muzzy hunt. Guess the gross score.

Here's a bull that has the makings of a great spike unit trophy, as long as he doesn't branch out on that dropper / spike side. Hopefully I'll run across him this October since he's actually on an any bull unit.

In a few weeks, my wife and I are going to spend a couple days around Blanding. What are some cool things to look at while we're down there. I'll be driving mt truck and it has good tires. So I should be able to go on most dirt roads. I've had people tell me I should take the La sal loop road...

With the rapidly increasing point creep problems on some of our deer hunting sub-units. I propose a change in the way the lifetime license holders receive their general deer tags. - If deer season within a specific unit takes five or more preference points to draw. That season within the...

I posted my Nevada Deseret Bighorn sheep experience while helping out a good friend of mine with his hunt. Just scroll down towards the bottom of the tread to Jan. 3rd. That's where the sheep hunt begins. You can see it on this link...

Any of these 2020 bulls go 320" ?

A good friend of mine drew one of the non- resident tags. I know he's planning on talking to the local biologist and I've looked over the area on google earth. I see that there's a lot of guzzlers in that area for water sources. Anyone willing to talk to me through text messages or PMs and...

It’s hard to believe it’s been ten years since the first HAC. When I had shared my Utah bighorn sheep hunt . Since that time, I’ve had an incredible run of good luck hunting Utah general season Muleys. I’ve been able to kill six 4 point or better bucks with the top two scoring 210” and 191”...

Any cornhusker fans? My buddies son just committed to play for them in 2021. Offensive line.

Does anyone recognize these bases? I'm looking for a replacement set screw that I've lost. All I know is these bases are very old and I can't get them off the rifle, so hopefully I can find a new set screw.

I thought doing this on youtube but that didn't work out very well for a certain family. So here's my confession. I've never killed a buck over any type of bait or trail camera sight. Not one. Not that's there's anything wrong with that. lol They were all killed either by spot and stalk or...

So I started asking around about all this "apple baiting" that's going on in Southern Utah. What I can tell, there are some big time shed antler collectors and photographers that are spreading the word about how all the top end bucks are being killed on the Pauns, Zion and Pine Valley units...

I've google'd a few but I'm sure there's several I don't know about or missed. What are your favorite online gun stores to deal with and have the best prices? Thanks

Here's the last video I'll be doing of bucks that I've video taped over the past decade. As you can see, I look in all types of terrain. Weather it be cheatgrass/junipers, thick oakbrush or up into the aspen/pines or the cliffy stuff at or near the treeline. You can find mature bucks just...

I went yesterday and I've never experienced so much lefty prejudice in my life. I talked to at least a half dozen gun booths and they either flat out don't offer a lefty bolt action or want to charge anywhere from $300 - $2,000 extra. Damn righty's!

Let me know which one you've liked so far.

Here are some more general season bucks I shot video of during the past decade. Some were during the hunting season in which I decided to pass on and some we just couldn't catch up to them when it counted. Hope you enjoy!

It appears that all the January posts and PMs have been deleted!

We keep hearing this number being brought up but where is it coming from? Does anyone have data or proof of this claim? Where are the reports of this many deer being in the state in one year? And how many years were there this many deer in the state? I would really like to see the document.

I'm sure this is going to pi$$ off a few but this is all I've been able to put a tag on in the past eight years of UTAH general season hunting on different units. With all the complaining about how bad the hunting has been the past 10 years. I can't wait for it to get better, so I can find...
