    Good unit for a traditional elk bowhunter?

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-17-18 AT 12:03PM (MST)[p]Sorry I don't mean this be another where to apply post but I just came to the realization (after all these years of not) I should put in for a NM elk tag even of the odds are low. Thought I was going to draw WY but points keep creeping. Not all areas...

    Anyone else get charged 3x by AZ F&G?

    I see on my credit card statement 3 charges for $15 on 2/11 by the Fish and Game when I (we) had issues applying. I thought they had it all figured out and refunded the extra charges? So do I now have to endure hours on hold to get this resolved? They better give me a tag for all this crap.

    Non-Premier Archery NR Elk or Deer areas?

    I just found out I have a work conference in Phoenix this Sept 14-17 which ruins my plans to draw for a limited CO elk tag. AZ is too far of a drive so I've never considered it before, but I'm looking at hunting opportunities as long as I'm there and the transportation is free! The regs are a...

    Flying and Elk Hunting DIY

    So what do you guys do with your elk if you fly and it's a solo DIY hunt? There is no way I can afford to fly all the meat home (+ the horns and cape), so who can you give it to legally? I have CO elk tag for the flattops and it might make more sense for me to fly than drive.

    Whitetail decoy for Mule deer?

    I bowhunt out in western NoDak where there are both species, but I'm after a muley. I'd like to use a decoy not to attract but to calm deer and take their attenion away from me in a ground blind. I've seen muleys and whitetails in fields together but never face to face. When moving they always...

    RMEF appology for HR 1581 fiasco?

    I have been a HUGE supporter of the RMEF for more than 20 years. I was very upset to read about with their support of HR 1581 (the road less access bill) in another magazine. My membership is now up for renewal, and I want to base this on what they did to correct the situation. They wrote a...

    North Dakota Archery Tags 2012

    I was told the non-resident any deer archery tag numbers will be cut in half to 682, and it might be antlered only for mule deer so the draw odds will be around 40%. Until last year there always were leftover gas! Also heard a rumor they also might limit whitetail archery tags too. Anyone...

    Blue Tongue in Western North Dakota?

    I have been hearing reports of widespread blue tongue outbreaks in eastern MT and western ND. This can kill up to 90% of a local deer population. It seems to affect whitetails more than mule deer where I have hunted in ND, but is not good for an already decimated deer herd from 2 bad winters...

    Beartooth - Wy Black Hills Retirement property?

    I am thinking about buying some property on which it retire someday (it's a ways away). We like area around Sundance in the Beartooths, but how is the deer hunting out there? Never heard much so it can't be very good. I know they have both mulies and whitetails. Elk too. Any general...

    Who is bowhunting unit 45 elk?

    I see some folks here have drawn tags, just wondering who is going to be there and when. I'll be out there starting on 9/12 and will be hunting solo (resident buddy did not draw). I plan to do short bivy hunts for 2-3 days and will probably be putting on a lot of miles so I may run into some of...

    Can you carry a pistol while bowhunting?

    I thought they changed the law to allow it, but speaking with someone from WY they said no. I didn't see anything that said you couldn't in the elk hunting regs. Also related I have some UDAP bear spray that is past it's expiration. Never been used, but does it really go bad? Only one way to...
