Any advice for the season going on now. I have been through cabin creek, almont triangle, and the flats east of cabin creek. Total for the first day, about 10 does. I was planning to come out on Monday, and hunt the last 6 days, but when the snow came, I drove out, expecting a lot of action...

I finally used 13 points to draw a 3rd season mule deer tag. I have a few other obligations this fall, so I was thinking about arriving Monday the 4th, and hunting the last 6 days to catch what normally should be the best 6 days of the 3rd season. But with the cold weather, and snow coming...

After too many years of waiting, I cashed in on a unit 62 tag. I have taken a half dozen antelope, all in unit 23 and with very limited access. All with trespass fees, and limited boundaries. Not that I didn't have enough property to hunt on, but it will be unbelievable to be able to go and go...

Sitting at 11 points, the only "better" chance I have of drawing a tag is the blackpowder season in a couple of units. This is good because I really enjoy hunting with the muzzleloader and I feel that the dates for a coinciding rut are much better than the archery dates, plus it can be hot...

Just curious, after some thought. I was born in 1971 and have hunted since I can remember. However, I just began hunting the west on a regular basis around 1999. Also, many tag systems that have point systems in place began around 1990 as top point pools for Colorado are around 23 or 24. So...

This has been a difficult month trying to decide on which are in Wyoming to apply. I had max points and haven't drawn an elk tag there since I started applying fifteen years ago. So this year, I looked over all of the units the best I could, and in the end, I went with unit 62. Problem for me is...

I will be in unit 12 bw, for the early rifle deer hunt. I have saw mention of mountain lion hunting in that general area. So, I thought I would ask, can anyone suggest a houndsman or guide in the area that may do day hunts and charge a trophy fee. I would really like to do a day or two, also, I...

As the hunt dates draw ever closer, I thought I would post one last time to see how things were going. Just curious if anything of importance worth noting, from anyone who may have been in, or through the area in the last while. Plus, I thought I would run my plans by anyone who may critique...

I am certain that many will have no sympathy for me, as I dove into my situation, with literally no research. Anyway, I drew an elk tag about three years ago and after waiting six years, it wasn't quite what I expected. Granted it wasn't a bad hunt, it simply wasn't the hunt that I would have...

I applied this year with 10 nonresident points for Wasatch muzzleloader. Last year 10 points was a sure thing. Then the state added one or two more nonresident tags to the Wasatch, so I figured this is a slam dunk, BUT, nothing yet. It makes me wonder if applications increased that much this...

I apologize for my question as it is pretty vague. Also, my previous research is minimal. I realize that this habit is a pet peeve of many, and honestly I do understand. However, this year as the Arizona elk draw came to a close, my dad and I decided to apply for an elk tag. I fully realized...

Okay, I have pretty much given up on unit 61, so I plan to hunt unit 76. The question I must ask myself is, which unit would be best, and by best I mean the most enjoyable. I have enough points to draw the first regular rifle hunt, but I am still 2 - 3 years from drawing blackpowder, but if it...

Okay, I swore off buying the Arizona nonresident hunting license after I drew my elk tag. But after two seasons, I dove back in. I really don't mind buying the license, I live to help, and hunt, most any wildlife - sorry if that statement sounds ironic. Anyway, I just wish I could make use of my...

I was thinking of going to Colorado, maybe do some fishing, and also hoping to photograph and more importantly just view some mule deer. I am familiar with areas I have hunted, but I don't believe where I normally hunt is in wintering areas. So I was hoping someone could point me towards public...

I am very near, if not already there, of drawing a Wasatch Mountain muzzleloader tag. I apologize that my knowledge of any Utah unit, and for that matter most western units, is not good at all. I live in North Carolina and spend all my extra money and time hunting. As for scouting, though I...

I was hoping someone that understood, or had knowledge of the drawing system in Colorado for second, third, and fourth season, could explain it to me. Exactly what I am asking is - when I look at second, third, and fourth seasons for unit 61, it basically bulks all of them into one group...

I am no greenhorn when it comes to boots. BUT, I do not research like others do, nor have I had experience beyond basic American hunting, mid to cheaper boots. Anyway, I am planning a buffalo hunt in mid-May - it will be here before I know it, and I need to make a move and get a pair of boots...

Okay, I have asked this in past years, so sorry for the repeat question, BUT, here is the situation. My wife is 51, still in good shape, but not getting any younger, or in better physical condition if you know what I mean. Plus at that age, which I know isn't OLD, but anything can happen, plus I...

I know, everyone has an opinion, BUT, basically I am booked in May this year for a cape buffalo hunt. I chose that because it was either that or tuskless elephant. Now the problem is, I have always wanted to hunt elephant, however, my question was, to myself, what will I really have as far as a...

I was thinking of applying for unit 22, and was hoping for any info concerning: is there an outfitter that offers a drop camp, is renting horses a possibility, also any basic hunting info concerning unit 22 would be great. I thought of other units, 30-32, 100, 111, and even 124 and 24, but for...

does anyone have any thoughts and/or pics of the many no-til food plots? Thanks for any help.

Okay, I am thinking,,,, again,,,, about drawing a unit 76 first rifle tag. I have been down this road numerous times and haven't made the commitment yet, BUT, the point system isn't really getting any better as I was about 5 or 6 points out 7 or 8 years ago and I am still 3 or 4 years out now...

I have enough points to draw this tag if I apply for a special tag. With that said, I looked over statistics and it appears success is almost 100 percent, as with most antelope hunts. BUT, that is where my knowledge and research ends. I am certain there are enough antelope in each unit to be...

or rather one heck of a mess I have gotten my wife into, and she doesn't even know it yet. Anyway, the story is pretty simple. Since Wyoming began their point system I have been buying myself and my wife points and sporadically applying for both of us, but always gaining points. She has always...

I hunted this area in 2005 and had a great hunt. I hunted the fourth season and took a great buck on opening day. Along the way I saw numerous bucks, but nothing great. Anyway, I drew that tag with two points but now the points are up to six and increasing every year. After the winter of 07 -...

I DID POST THIS IN THE REGULAR ELK SECTION BUT THOUGHT I WOULD UP MY ODDS OF HELP RECRUITMENT BY POSTING HERE AS WELL. THANKS FOR ANY INFORMATION. Normally if I draw a tag I will ask for help here, and I will also contact a local biologist and anyone else who may can help - and this year isn't...

Normally if I draw a tag I will ask for help here, and I will also contact a local biologist and anyone else who may can help - and this year isn't any different in that respect. BUT, it is different in the sense that I have drawn a unit 36 elk first muzzleloader tag, AND, this is the first year...

I posted this in the Colorado section but thought it might get more traffic here. Thanks for any help. It seems year I am kicking this around, what to do. Well I have 12 points and seem to be about in the same position I was 5 years ago - nowhere. For that reason I am more seriously looking at...

It seems year I am kicking this around, what to do. Well I have 12 points and seem to be about in the same position I was 5 years ago - nowhere. For that reason I am more seriously looking at 76 first rifle, probably not early rifle or muzzleloader because most likely I won't have enough points...

I drew a limited deer tag for Oct. 15-30. SO, I will be in the area from mid October until the end of the deer season, but most agree that the best time to hunt will be the last few days. I don't want to hunt the are for 15 days as my wife isn't coming out until the last five days, so I was...

Can someone point me to a unit with sufficient public access for bear that would offer a good opportunity. I am going to have about a week to hunt in any of the three states and I didn't draw a tag,,,, so I am open to suggestions. I was thinking of bear or antelope. I would love to hunt lion...

Can someone point me to a unit with sufficient public access for antelope. I am going to have about a week to hunt and I didn't draw a tag,,,, so I am open to suggestions. I have hunted 23 but it was mostly private and a trespass fee of $250 was usually necessary. I wanted to circumvent this and...

I received a bit of info on the deer tag my wife and I drew for the limited unit 130 mule deer hunt - any extra input is always appreciated, so if you have info on hunting that would be great. However my primary need at this time is info on where is the best place to camp and get supplies. I...

I finally drew a tag, Wyoming deer 130, the late limited season. Any advice would be appreciated. From what I understand the later the better, but I had thought of spending almost the entire season if necessary, but would prefer to pick five days and hunt hard. Where would be a good area to base...

I have hunted approximately 2,000 acres for 8 years now in north central Kansas with a rifle - though it isn't a lease it is private property and we are the only group allowed to hunt there. We have taken several nice bucks in the past. This year the usual hunters who joined me in the past won't...

I posted this in the new mexico state section, but thought it may draw more eyes in the general elk section. I finally drew a unit 9 first muzzleloader - even though it isn't a top notch unit it took several years to draw. The reason I put this as a third choice is that I hunted it in 2008 and...

I finally drew a unit 9 first muzzleloader - even though it isn't a top notch unit it took several years to draw. The reason I put this as a third choice is that I hunted it in 2008 and am slightly familiar with the area. I put in alone as no one else had the money for the tag - actually I had...

Can someone suggest a quality drop camp - that can offer atleast 60 percent opportunity, or 30 plus percent success - for Colorado? Archery or OTC rifle - preferably archery.

I am in need of the contact info of someone who sells shed mule deer antlers. Can anyone provide a name and number? Thanks.

I have six points and basically don't understand the Utah draw system - atleast not fully. In another post someone asked if they would draw with X points. Replies chimed in, saying that he definitely would. BUT, I thought Utah operated on BONUS points where nothing is for certain, rather those...
