Youngest son killed a melanistic pheasant today. This is one beautiful bird!

Anyone here draw this tag this year? I had it last year and had a blast. I can provide some info to those who don't know the unit well and give a few places to start looking.

Anyone looking for a like new TR react single pin? I got one in the classified forum.

Lightly used but looks brand new. Asking $200 and I will pay for shipping. Cost is $270 at Cabelas. My teenage son used and bought him a 3 pin same brand. He really likes this sight.

Went up to Idaho with my 16 y/o son this past weekend. Had a great hunt for greenheads and geese with an old friend. Love these hunts. Geese weren't as cooperative as the ducks. Up to 50 ducks at a time. 3 man limit of mallards and 2 man limit of geese and a snow that got lost. Had around 10...

16 y/o finally drew a doe tag after 3 years. Found only one group that didn't take off running when they saw the truck from a mile away. Drove well past this group after glassing them from a couple miles so we could get a good wind. Had to change our approach 4 times to get close enough.

So earlier in the year I made Swan Teriyaki Shish kabobs. Now I've put together another good swan recipe. I did mix it with mallard and widgeon to make enough for a good meal, but it was mostly swan. In a crock pot, I put the swan breast and duck breasts in chicken broth, enough to cover...

So this is the first year of doing any serious elk hunting for me and I have a HAMS tag in hand. This is the best bull I've found to date. I think he will go over 300 but not sure. I've not had any experience at field judging. This area isn't well known for bulls of the 350 or higher caliber...

Heading back to my home area where I grew up on the eastern Yellowstone for some sturgeon and catfish and hopefully walleye. On the way back to Utah in mid June we plan to spend 3-5 days at Hebgen. I don't flyfish and we will fish from kayaks when the wind lets us. Wondering if anyone can...

Lots of people told me swan was no good. Here is the first recipe I cam up with to try it. Cut swan up in bite-size pieces and soak for 24 hours in pineapple juice and sesame teriyaki mixed about 1:1 ratio. Put on bamboo kabab sticks mixed with fresh pineapple and red bell pepper pieces. I put...

Ok all, this may not be the correct forum for this but, really it does belong because this crazy bill will affect us all. We all have to make it well known to the politicians that this thing cannot be allowed to pass. It's just outrageous enough that it may not have a chance, but we can't let...

Got my first swan yesterday. One shot kill thankfully. What's your favorite ways of cooking them?

We scouted our area for archery to start. Found 4 bucks we were interested in. One a 6x6 and one a 27-28 inch 4x4. He got within 40 yards of the big 4 but couldn't get him to stop in a good lane to shoot. We also had a 24 inch 4x4 and this buck on his list of possibilities if he couldn't close...

Man what a phenomenal day of duck hunting. Scouted out a great spot with lots of ducks and were set up 2 hours early. Son had his limit in less than 10 minutes.

Anyone ever use this stuff?looking for new CAMO and just curious on your thoughts about this camp's ability to hide the electrical field around us. Hype or good?

Well my 14 y/o got it done today. It's his first kill with a bow so it's a trophy in my book. He blew a stock on a doe he has a tag for and then spotted this buck and a couple other does. They were outside the doe tag border but he was happy to fill his buck tag. 15 yards quartering towards him...

My 14 y/o son missed a 40 yard shot today steep downhill. I have a Nikon prostaff 7i which has angle declination and we double checked it's accuracy. He shoots 5-6 inch groups at 40 in practice but shot over this deer's back. There isn't any need to aim lower when shooting steep angles is there...

Can someone explain this? I put in for one cow elk tag unit only in the draw with one point. A friend of mine put the same unit as his 3rd choice. He drew the tag but I didn't. He drew it last year too. Something seems off to me.

My 13 y/o drew the general deer here in Utah. We spent most of the summer scouting for his youth bull tag and not much on deer scouting. I planned to hunt where I had found several bucks on the muzzleloader hunt last year. This is the week before hiking water up to our chosen campsite at 8000...

So I'm figuring out which grain bullet to use for my son's youth any bull hunt and looking at Remington ballistics. It says the 130 grain bullet has about 1589 ft/lbs at 300 yards and the 150 grain only has about 1310 ft/lbs. Has any of you heard of that? I've always thought the heavier bullets...

I put this in the Utah forum as well. Anyone got the West Desert Riverbed tag? I was out yesterday and spotted the biggest pronghorn I've seen in Utah. I was out checking a couple water holes for my son's upcoming youth any bull hunt. I didn't bring my spotter because the plan was just to set...

My 13 y/o has to be the lucky one this year. General deer tag and youth any bull drawn earlier and now draws an cow elk for 2nd year in a row. Dad got nothing. Going to be fun taking him out just for him!

LAST EDITED ON May-14-18 AT 10:10AM (MST)[p]Son drew this tag at 13 and I'm stoked. I know a couple areas fairly well. Just wondering if the bulls will start making some noise during this hunt 15-23 Sept. 2 years ago bugling was strong during regular any bull in October. Thoughts?

My 13 y/o drew the youth any bull and the general deer any weapon. I'm stoked! This season is all about him! Can't wait to get him out scouting. Will the rut be getting started during that season?

Hey all, I was out in the valley just east of the Grassy Mountains last weekend brushing up on some jack rabbits. I found a black Nike duffel bag with some gear inside. It had been there for awhile, as it is faded on the sunny side. I'd say it was several months since it was lost, has some...

Finally got the job done last night just at sunset. The bucks have been in prerut activity all week there on the Vernon. I camped out there most of the week and wasn't seeing what I wanted. Killed my antlerless elk control permit right after sundown on opening morning after watching several...

Had a blast this morning with my 11 y/o on his first duck hunt where he got to shoot. Using an old 20 gauge I grew up with. Can't wait for more hunts with him. We had ducks in the decoys before legal light and he was so excited he just kept asking how much more time dad? He also downed a...

It's on fire. 3000 acres burned so far and zero containment. Hope they get it out soon. Have the rifle tag this year.

First posted in the General Forum without thinking. So I just ordered a Traditions Vortek Strikefire muzzleloader. I've decided I want to try this slightly more challenging hunting. My question to all you guys that have been at it for a while, what are your thoughts on the best black powder or...

Had a blast of a day hunting cottontail with my youngest son. Seven taken and around 40-50 spotted. Wish he would have done his hunter safety so he could have shot a few. He still had a blast.

Normally find cows every time I go out. Went out finally last weekend thinking the heavy snow would have them down. Usually see a lot of feeding sign on the slopes around the hatch canyons but didn't see any this time. Walked all the way to the camp ground and only saw a couple of places where...

Just curious if any bulls hit the dirt opening weekend.

Took my 9 year old out in Grassy Mountains area in Utah to look for jackrabbits today. He killed his first ever with a great shot running away from him at about 25-30 yards. He used the 20 gauge I used growing up.

Hey all, I am thinking of hunting in region A next year in areas 2 or 4. It seems to be a lot like the area I grew up hunting in southeast Montana. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Not looking for honey holes or anything. Just wondering about the quality of the hunting, quality of bucks...

So now that there has been another mass attack at a school in Texas with a new type of assault weapon, a knife, when do you think Harry Reid and his cronies are going to require background checks on buying knives? Being facetious of course, but if you assault anyone with anything, I consider it...

So saw this on Fox and it appears the white house is seriously considering bypassing congress to pass gun control laws. When will they ever get it? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/09/vice-president-to-meet-with-gun-safety-groups/
