    UT CWMU HUNT?

    Guys I'm looking for an outfitter to take my mother on a guided elk hunt. I've been hunting elk for 20 years with my father and two brothers and even though she went along on a couple diy public land archery hunts in CO she's never been close to an elk and has never hunted them herself. She...

    Fix this Elk mount or leave it?

    I got my ?17 CO archery elk back yesterday and noticed right away the horns weren't set right. In order to get enough wall clearance the taxidermist rolled them forward nearly setting the G1?s on the elks forehead. There is currently about 1? on his right g1 and 1.5? on his left...the...

    swaro z6?

    I bought a cooper backcountry 92 last year and put a NF atacr on it. To my disappointment I had to take it off because between the larger tube and wind turret the casings would not eject from my 300 win mag. So I'm back in the market for a scope and I'm seriously considering the swaro 3-18x50...

    is pt creep turning into pt jump?

    just looked up the results from the draws. I drew both my elk and mule deer tags but it turned out to not be the slam dunk I thought it was. My elk tag went from 100% with 8 pts to 50% with 10 pts ( I had 11). The deer hunt is for a unit that in 2015 had 60% odds with 3 pts to this year it...

    spotting scopes 101

    ok, I need some help here picking out a spotting scope. I just drew my first antelope tag in unit 67 in WY. I've been elk hunting the past 18 years and haven't purchased a spotting scope to this point because most of the units I've hunted it wasn't necessary (and my brother has a great swaro...

    precipitation in march and april?

    I'm planning for my first antelope hunt this year. I am pretty set on applying for unit 67 (4 of us, average 6.5 NR pts). I was looking at the precipitation amounts for march (3.52") and april (4.62") according to gohunt. That would seem like a great thing for early green up and healthy...

    best unit and outfitter for 10NR elk pts?

    So, as I'm planning my OTC archery Idaho hunt I've come to realize its time for me to go chase some big bulls. I have between 6 and 10 pts in every state out west for nearly every species that allows you to build pts for. I have 10 NR elk pts for Colorado and I'm going to burn them next year...

    Hey fellas, Didn't draw any tags this year and decided not to pay the ever increasing prices for a LO tag so we're considering an OTC Idaho elk hunt in the pioneer zone. I looked at diamnond creek but by the sounds of it, there are a ton of guys and ATV'ers running around and it makes it...

    draw process question?

    I'm taking a risk of sounding like and idiot but after not drawing the past two years while applying with an outfitter I have some questions about the process of the drawing. This in no way is a complaint about the NMFG or the state of NM. I love hunting NM and will be buying a LO tag again...

    a challenge to tell your lost animal story...

    Ok, this is another spin on Grizz's thread. We've all heard the saying "if ya hunt long enough you're going to lose an animal". I posted my story on his thread and on the NM forum. I've had pm's and posts supporting our decisions and down right nasty messages and posts criticizing our...

    thanks NM from some non-res's...TRULY!

    We just got back to WI from our 2nd season archery hunt in the northern part of the state and we had a blast! I know NM takes a lot of heat especially from my fellow non residents but there is no doubt about it, they have plenty of animals once you're there! We weren't lucky enough to draw...

    5 pin or single pin?

    I have always shot a 5 pin sight. I used to have the trophy ridge sight that had them all running vertical instead of the horizontal. The issue I seem to have with the 5 pin horizontal that I currently have is having so much of the sight window blocked. I have had great success with my rifle...
