In the process of moving here from Vegas. At the time many are fleeing the state, I feel like I am swimming up-stream! From the research I have done, it sounds like I should keep putting in for tags in NV and UT?!?! Not many tags in CA and longer draw odds, with less big bucks and bulls. I...

A Travois for Dragging Game, Use Physics to Pack Your Deer Out (backcountrychronicles.com) Me and my daughter packed out an elk a few weeks ago using pack frames. It took 3 round trips. I don't mind doing so, but it certainly takes its toll. I stumbled on this article a few days ago and...

I know these are just park rams, but I love this photo. The ram closest to me is a nice one. My girls were getting tired of me telling them which one I would shoot.

Any archery success stories? Reports on numbers of bucks seen? Good, bad, or ugly? I used to hunt archery a lot in UT. Switched to Muzzy for some reason.

Anyone have a local contact to tan an elk hide this coming hunting season? I got a pronghorn hide tanned last year, but had to two-day air mail it which was very spendy. It would be nice to have a local tannery tan it without the expensive shipping. Southern NV area?

I know this is a really early time to post about a late cow elk hunt, but I drew this tag and can't wait to fill the freezer. I'm starting my typical research and plan to reach out to the wildlife biologist/fish cop in this region as the hunt draws closer. But I thought I'd also reach out to...

I want to get into coyote hunting this winter using an electronic call (so sick of seeing and hearing these pests when big game hunting). Anyone have any insights or tips besides what I can Google? I think guys and gals here on MM would have better advice than the run of the mill stuff on...

Hunted on several hunts in UT (my tag and brother's). We talked to a game processor and a taxidermist. Both said that it has been the worst year for bucks and bulls in decades. They are hearing this from others that hunted in several western states. I didn't draw anything in NV, but wanted...

I have 8 points and am having a tough time choosing what unit to put in for. I want to hunt rifle and don't want to hunt too far from the Vegas area (makes it tougher to take scouting trips). I have narrowed my research down to the following units: 115, 231, 242 161-162 251 All units seem to...

Anybody know if the elk have migrated from the high ground yet? I think there is only 2 feet of snow on top of the Panguitch mountains. Probably not enough to really move them yet. My nephew has a cow tag that we plan to pursue the first weekend in January. I know where the elk are in the...

While we all wait anxiously for the hunts to draw near, I wanted to start a post asking MM members to share their favorite or most memorable guided hunt. The reason being, I am stuck with lots of points in UT and NV, but probably still 5-10 years from drawing anything worth writing home about...

My brother, nephew and I have this tag this year. I am familiar with the area and know where the elk are in the summer ranges. However, I am a little less familiar with where they are in the winter. I have a few ridges in mind to get started with, but was curious with so little snow in the...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-18-17 AT 11:36AM (MST)[p]Just curious if anyone has been on the Panguitch unit lately and can provide any info on how the elk have been affected (or not affected) by the Brian Head fire from last summer. I know they are resilient animals, but wondered if they have moved out...

I have a few mule deer bucks that I made into European mounts myself at home. I simmered them in sodium carbonate, picked them clean and then used peroxide to whiten. What I didn't know then was that I needed to degrease them to draw out the oils. Lo and behold, years later they have all...

Last weekend was extra special for me. I took my ten year old daughter out hunting with me for the first time. She was super excited to be going out. You better believe I put a lot of pressure on myself to harvest a deer when she was at my side. We got lucky on our first morning. We shot...

I have 19 Bonus Points and a non-resident for the Utah draw. Looking at the draw odds, I may only be a year or two away from drawing my bison tag. For those of you that have been lucky enough to hunt bison in Utah, what would you recommend? I have seen that the hunter success rate on the Book...

Here is my ram that I shot in unit 212 in Nevada (late hunt). It was an amazing experience to say the least. Best of all, my brothers were able to travel down from Northern Utah to join me on this hunt. Afterall, hunting for me is all about the family tradition. We planned to hunt for...

I use a bench rest bag to shoot as accurate as I can to 400-500 yards (shooting prone). I use a bipod, but use the rest under the rear stock for added stabilization, which works very well. I filled the rest with dehydrated beans. Here is the problem...I would like to pack the rest when I go...

Looking for a new taxidermist in Las Vegas/Henderson area for big game. Anyone have any feedback - good, bad or indifferent? Thanks!

Anyone rented an ATV for hunting purposes in Las Vegas? All of the rentals I have seen online seem to focus on hourly rentals for recreating in the desert, not hunting for a few days time. My wife is getting a new kitchen this year, so I won't be buying my ATV until next year. Thanks!

Just thought I'd throw out a post regarding sheep meat. I have a tag this December in NV and am very excited for my first ram hunt. I have never tasted ram meat. Any advice on how to prepare it and what to expect (comparing it to elk and deer)? Thanks!

I drew the rifle late hunt in Unit 231. I can't wait to log some miles in my hiking boots. Please PM me if you have hunted this unit before and have some words of wisdom. Thanks!

Hey guys and gals, I just found out that I drew a desert bighorn sheep tag in the NV 212 late unit. I am bumped to say the least and really looking forward to scouting and hunting on this unit. Has anyone hunted this unit that doesn't mind helping point me in the right direction? Thanks!!

I was lucky enough to draw this tag and am looking forward to the hunt. I have never hunted this unit before. Anyone who has hunted here before, please share some wisdom with me regarding where to start. The only information I have found through researching is to spend a lot of time glassing...
