Anyone experience this? What happened in your situation? Invited BIL on a hunt. Before we even set out on our 14hr drive I could tell he had reservations about the trip. I also knew I should have drove my own rig due to the chances of him wanting to bail out early. Long story short he was...

Was able to find a buck on Monday in X4. Was a tough hunt. Lots of miles with no deer. Happened across this guy on Monday afternoon. Tried to get my son on him but he could see him in the scope. Once the buck became nervous we decided I should go ahead and take him. Kid was a bit trigger happy...

I am In The market for some new boots. On some later November hunts, lows in the tens/upper single digits, I use a pair of Rocky 800g boots. My feet always get cold when glassing for any amount of time. That was with a standard cotton sock that was probably moist/wet from the hike. How many run...

Anyone have a sling they like that isn’t the Gun Bearer? I want something that is secure, behind me and easy to get to. Really wish the Mystery ranch offering had better reviews. I want to like it. If the slik sling had a buckle instead of the cam lock I would buy it, guess I could change it...

Is there any issue in hanging boned out meat in game bags for a week or so? Cold temps below 35? Wasn’t sure if air circulation would be an issue since it tends to ball up in the bottom of a bag.

I have a small 9’X11’ inside diameter wall tent. Made by tent smith. It has a stove jack in roof not wall like shown in pic. Has aluminum poles, ridge pole then short poles around the exterior eves. Purchased used last year in very good shape and never used, just ordered a larger tent. Rope and...

I am looking to upgrade my tent size. Looking to house 3 hunters and gear. Should I go 14x16 or 12x14 with a cook shack/porch? The 14x16 would be big enough to do most cooking indoors if weather is poor. What say you?

After our recent cow elk hunt it was very obvious I need to purchase a pack that is up to the task of hauling heavier loads. I talked with another hunter he loves his Exo Mountain pack. Seems like a great pack as you can order with what ever size bag you may need and not be stuck with an overly...

Anyone care to offer some insight? My son has a tag. Thinking around November.

Been looking at this unit. The info seems to say it’s a tough hunt with few critters. The numbers say 60 percent success, so how bad is it really? If you are familiar with the unit pm me please, I have a few questions.

With C4 coming to a close and my son still has a tag we are looking for any advise in the remaining open C zones. We have never ventured into the remaining open area. Been looking at maps and doing some E scouting. Figured I would ask if someone could point us in a general direction. Thanks

My son and I are beginning to plan/look into a DIY mule deer hunt. Doing some research and things seem a bit confusing in regards to tags, general vs the other types. Hopefully someone here can breakdown and explain the ins and outs of applying. Also looking for recommendations on a zone. We...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-16 AT 08:31PM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Nov-30-16 AT 08:25?PM (MST) Well I finally got it done. Archery hunting these things in the desert Is a challenge. Saw some big bucks along the way. The rut was winding down with bucks beginning to group up. Found this buck feeding...

Well suddenly all the big bucks are gone. Lots of small bucks grouped up with does. Small bucks are still working some does, but no signs large bucks. What's your thoughts?

Had to go to a warehouse just out of town and found this! Some asshat decided to poach a buck and take only the back straps and dump the rest. Pisses me off!!! Violations like this should have severe consequences, I know this would be very difficult to track down the poachers, but would love to...

Not sure where to share this so I will put it here.

I will be headed out on my first mule deer hunt in just over a month. I have been told there are a lot of hybrid/crosses in the area near susanville. So how do you identify a hybrid vs pure mule deer?

I recently purchased these. I noticed this evening that the eye cups/reliefs do not extend evenly. So I removed the rubber eye piece to ensure that it wasn't due to debris. I found some white writing on the RH side adjuster, the numbers 8 and 42. I believe these came to me with one adjuster for...

Any body have one they are bot going to use? About to place an order, but cant find th one I got in the mail recently. Thanks

I will be embarking on my first cold weather archery hunt soon. I have only archery hunted the warm months of August and September. What do you all recommend for a jacket or light parka that is waterproof, insulated, quiet and compact enough to still shoot a bow. With out breaking the bank.

Who has hunted this before? What advice would you give? Any tips on places to start looking or lesser known areas that hold deer. I seem to read/hear of folks meeting guys while there and gaining access to ranches in the area. Any help would be appreciated. I plan on scouting more after the...

How many of you have been able to pattern decent-good buck using cameras. I'm talking public land. I've gotten many pics of some good -great blackmails over the years but never consistent pics, at least not enough to call patterned. What is your experiences when trying to pattern a good buck...

I have noticed my bow, Mathews adrenalin has been shooting a little bit "off" lately. Though maybe it was just me. My groups have been strung out a little bit vertical lately, top to bottom. Then I noticed a rattling vibration in my bow after the shot. Little bit of lube on the idler wheel...

Here is a buck I watched last year in a zone I drew this year. This will be my first time hunting anything but small public land blacktails. So what are your thoughts. I know he is not a monster, but how wide is he? What would he score, not that I'm concerned with that? Loacated in northeastern...

I finally drew a late season archery tag in Cali.This will be my first mule deer adventure as well as first late season hunt. What are your experiences with rattling for these bucks? I've heard it works great from some folks, while others say not to bother with it and its not effective. Just...
