With the total failure of AZ F&G handling of the computerized 2021 draw it would seem that if the results are as screwed up as the draw process a class action law suit would be in order. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars are at stake. Dropped points, inability to update the portal...

Always good to get a mature buck. PB

Is there anyone that knows of a guide to hunt moose in BC or ALB. I don't want to use an outfitter I would prefer to bring my own camp and do my own thing. As a non resident I know I must have a guide so any help would be great. PB

Anyone know when the Idaho Moose rut begins and ends? PB

I have encountered a problem with a rifle magazine that is too short for the hand loads that I am working up. When the bullets are seated to .020 from the lands they are way too long for the magazine. Does anyone have any advice on modifying the rifle to accommodate the rounds or am I going to...

Who else out there had a "Buck Folding Hunter" for their first deer? I was 17 and shot a forked horn buck in San Diego County for my first deer. I still have the Knife and I think next season I will bring it out of retirement for my Idaho Elk hunt. PB

Anyone else having problems with Remington? I bought a new 783 in .223 a few months ago and had to immediately send it back for repair. The firing pin was not traveling deep enough to fire every round. And now just yesterday received (after ordering the rifle in May the 700AWR in .338RUM and...

The Rabbit's Foot fire is eating up unit 28. Iron creek and cabin creek roads are closed. The fire has burned over 35000 acres. Fire crews are in "full suppression" mode to stop the east movement towards Elk Bend. Pray for rain because the terrain is very steep and tough to get fire crews in to...

I am looking for recommendations. My son and I are planning to do a Moose hunt next year and are looking to find a reputable guide/outfitter. We will be driving up from Idaho to make the trip easier. Any suggestions? PB

Got my Bull Elk opening day....that's the good news. The bad news...I haven't seen a Buck in 10 days of hunting. Only a hand full of does in an area where historically I have seen Bucks and Does every day. Last winter has taken a huge toll on deer numbers here. Also the Chukars are almost non...

I am working up new loads for my 300wsm and my 270 Weatherby. Is it better to shoot the loads at 50 or 100 yards? Which distance will give the best grouping results for hunting? The best load I can produce from each caliber will be used on Deer and Elk out to 500 yards. Fire away. PB

Hello Colorado hunters.....I was considering archery Elk in unit 741 next year. I know absolutely nothing about the unit other than my son and his wife have property there and claim it has Elk. I don't want anyone to think i'm asking for secret spots. I just wanted to know if opinions favor a...

I'm bummed, my best friend and hunting partner for the last 41 years waited too long to buy a Salmon-B Elk tag. Word from F&G they sold out May 30th. Looks like I will packing Elk with my 24 year old son....thank goodness. PB

Any advise out there for the 375 H&H for Elk? I have 270gr Rem. factory rounds but was going to load up 235gr or 270gr Barnes TSX. I have been using my 300wsm with 165gr TSX for many years and killed eight bulls. I have noticed that with several of the bulls that were hit behind the front...

I am seeking information from any Wyoming hunter that can explain the difference between "Regular and Special" Antelope application fees. I am an Idaho resident that wants to apply for Antelope in Wyoming. I cant seem to find any help on this within the Wyoming hunting regulations. Thank all, PB

I am posting a question to the "Africa" hunters.... Why, when I watch television hunting programs of African Safaris the hunters almost without exception opt to not use a rifle sling and instead would rather choose to cradle their rifle on their shoulder with the business end (presumably with a...

My son Walter's 6x6 bull from 37A.

We had 4 Bull Elk tags for 37A and filled all of them within 3 days of hunting. We saw over 60 Elk every day, among them 6x6's, 5x5's, rag horns and spikes. My son Walter shot the biggest one (photo below) a 6x6 at 300yds with one clean shot to the heart. The part of 37A that we hunted was all...

I will begin scouting 37A on 8/15/12. We have 4 Bull Elk tags in our group. I know of three herds, each has upward of 125 Elk. In past seasons while Deer hunting in 37A I have seen many Trophy bulls and yet not a single Elk hunter within miles. I plan on scouting for a full week to get a real...

Four of us applied as a group and we were drawn. Three non-residents and one resident. Three of the eight non-res tags gone! I have been applying for this hunt for 7 years and finally got lucky. I wonder if applying as a group had any influence on the odds? Paul "Nice Rack" Taxidermy

Anyone know what the hold up is for the Elk draw? Historically the results were available by March 29. I sent a check so I can't verify if I was drawn, they cashed the check a long time ago. Paul

Howdy folks, I am looking for a commercial meat grinder that will handle grinding an Elk. I already have the small electric home kitchen type but it takes too long to complete a two step grind process. Paul "Nice Rack" Taxidermy

I was very fortunate to take this magnificient bull in 5A on November 27th. My brother Bob and I saw 3 bulls, "Big Red" a massive 6x6 bull, this bull I took a very nice 6x6 and another rag horn. Throughout the entire weeklong season we saw 8 bulls. Paul "Nice Rack" Taxidermy

LAST EDITED ON Oct-21-11 AT 03:41PM (MST)[p]Opening day while on two weeks leave from the USAF my son Walter took this 6x6 herd bull after passing three 5x5 bulls, a half dozen rag horns and too many spikes to count in a herd of about 126 Elk. Guiding for my sons has become most rewarding part...

OVERVIEW: The Salt Fire?s approach to the Panther Creek area led to an evacuation order for an area southwest of Panther Creek. No new fires were reported for the forest yesterday. A red-flag warning will continue for the next two days, ending at midnight on Thursday. The weather will keep the...

I spent all last week scouting unit 28 in the areas of Iron creek south to Ezra creek, from the Salmon river to Iron Lake. I only saw 1 spike bull and 8 cow/calfs. With temps in the low 90's all week I wasn't surprised that I didn't see much. I figured the Elk are staying cool up high on the...

Between my three sons and I we filled four deer tags and two elk tags. A 100% success rate for the first time! Paul "Nice Rack" Taxidermy

As of todays count $6.4 Million dollars is the amount of money Idaho F&G has lost in potential sales of Non-resident Elk and Deer tags and licenses. This does not include the additional millions in lost revenue to over the counter sales of goods and services. Is this the drop in sales due to the...

Just got a offer in the mail for a free box of rifle ammo from AZ F&G. It would appear AZ. is going the way of CA. and motivating/requiring hunters to use lead free ammo. AZ F&G in conjunction with Cabelas is sending a free box of (in my case 270 Weatherby mag. a $65.00 value) lead free rifle...
