    Wenaha the Dream

    Wondering if anybody has any thoughts on the rifle hunt versus the archery hunt. I have always planned on the archery, but this year I have a pretty heavy work schedule in September. I work in construction and will be paving a highway this year. Anyway, normally I am looking at the archery...

    Cold weather hiking boots

    Anybody have a recommendation? I have Schnee's pac boots but don't know if there is a better option for mountain hiking. Or for that matter out here on the prairie.

    Boulder Muzzy deer

    I'm heading down in a few days. Looks like the weather is really too nice. Anybody know if the deer are still going to be mostly up in the aspen or maybe some movement down to the winter range? I was planning on hunting the south end of the mountain. Also does anybody have a recommendation...

    Looking to hunt the Yukon

    I've been dreaming about this hunt for a while, need to get going before I'm too old. I'm thinking moose with option of grizzly and or caribou. I would want a mountain hunt vs a river float type hunt. Anybody have any recommendations as far as outfitters to use or not use?

    How old

    How old is the average sheep hunter in Arizona? The point system has been around for a long time. Looks really dismal. Hope I can last. How about the average age for those that draw in the bonus pass? I would guess maybe in their 50's now but at some point they will all be in their 70's...

    Scope set up

    I drew a late season muzzy deer tag in Utah. So I guess I was planning on putting a scope on my Optima. Had a couple questions I was hoping to get some help with. First, is CVA the only company that makes bases that fit their rifles? And I purchased or won a scope with illuminated reticle at...

    Boulder late muzzy deer

    Got home last night after a week on the road and found out I drew this tag. What a surprise. I hadn't even been checking cc hits because I thought Utah was a lost cause. Anybody have a feel for what the chances of a 180 class buck would be? Better to hunt the base of the mountain or head to...

    Grizzly handguns

    Those of you that hunt in the grizzly areas, who carries a handgun and what make and model do you prefer? When I hunted last fall looked like a lot of single action revolvers. Seems like some kind of double action or auto would be better. Thought?

    sad situation

    I was checking the Montana stat's, elk unit 316 had 94 hunters and they harvested 3 bulls in the latest posted season 2015. Back when I was hunting that area consistently there would be a hundred or more stock trailers at the Boulder trail head alone. I would see groups of hunters coming out...

    Wilderness Hunt

    Starting to plan a wilderness horseback type hunt, leaning toward Wyoming. On my bucket list. Probably a few years out, two or three. I have plenty of experience hunting elk, but mostly back pack type hunts. So looking for an area and an outfitter where there is a chance at a great bull and a...

    80/81 Bear

    I'll be muzzy hunting elk this year down there, is it worth having a bear tag? Looks like the harvest is light but are there any big bears?

    Colorado elk

    I'm headed to Colorado this year. I shot the Barnes TEZ bullet last year, obviously won't work this year. So I was looking at the Hornady FPB's. Optima rifle, probably go with 100 gr BH 209. Anybody using these bullets or have any thoughts?

    E-Tip or TTSX

    I drew a northern Arizona deer tag this year and just received the tag. AZ game and fish is requesting copper bullets for the sake of the condors. Any thoughts on these bullets? 300 Weatherby, maybe the 168 or 180's. I have been using 180 gr Speer factory loads for many years and just...

    new muzzy advise

    I was lucky enough to draw a utah muzzy elk tag this year and am now looking for a new rifle. Am considering the Accura as well as the Rem ultimate. Although this year I can use sabots I hope to draw Colorado next year so then no sabots. Same with sights, this year I will likely use a 1x...

    Trijicon

    Anybody try the RMR on a long gun? Muzzleloader? Other than the high cost looks like it should be a pretty good sight solution.

    Boulder

    So I'm pretty happy with my draw of the NR muzzy elk tag. Been doing a little research. Seems like a ton of good country for 12 hunters, but then realized there will also be deer hunters on the mountain at the same time. How much of a problem will the deer guys be for the elk hunting?

    Colorado sheep

    I called the Wildlife Division for a sheep booklet at least ten days ago and still have not received. How long does this normally take? I need to apply via paper app as I am a NR.

    ATV's

    Is there a required permit for ATV's in Idaho like other states? I have a Diamond Creek elk tag. I do see there are travel restrictions regarding hunting, but understand you can pack camp in and meat out. Surprised. That seams pretty liberal actually and open to abuse. Am I missing...

    sheep 22

    I drew this tag this year. Anybody have a feel for the number of mature rams in the unit and the trophy quality. I have tried talking to the biologist. Just haven't caught him yet. Eastman's did make it sound like there is good potential. I do have the option of hunting 5 during October so...

    444 Late deer

    Anybody have any general info on this hunt. Looks to me like private land might be an issue if there is much snow. I have hiked a little in the unit during September, years ago. Saw one very nice buck. Wanted to use my points, so I thought I would give it a try. thanks

    Sheep and Elk hunt

    Anybody willing to help a little. I have 15 points for sheep and 5 for elk. I'm thinking unit5 for sheep. Is there a trophy elk unit that overlaps the major sheep populations that would justify 5 points and outside wilderness(NR). I would probably archery hunt elk. I would be looking for a...

    Anything big off 61

    Anybody hear of any really big elk coming off unit 61 in the last couple of years. I archery hunted there in 08, tag soup. But I did see one excellent bull. Just wondering if anybody got him.

    Colorado hunting

    How did the Colorado hunting go in general this season? We hunted the 4th season Unit 44 elk. It was tough. In the past I've always seen at least a half dozen shooter bucks and a few elk. Practically nothing this year. Just too nice up there. I talked to one deer hunter that was giving it...

    AZ 23S

    I guess I got lucky and drew this tag, archery. Any body have a feel for the quality in the unit? Is there a reasonable chance of finding a 350+ bull? Any other info also greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Utah archery spike hunt

    Can the Utah guys explain why some LE units have a spike only archery hunt and some units do not? Generaly speaking, how much presure do the spike hunters put in these areas?

    2007 apps

    The lack of late season hunting for myself has got me thinking about next year already. I think I'm sitting pretty good for some good elk hunting in the next few years. I've got 11 points in Oregon and Colorado, 10 in Arizona and 7 in Utah (non-res in all). Most of my elk hunting in the past...
