    WY 56-1 Antelope

    My boys drew this tag. Will be their first Antelope Hunt. Both are in HS so getting out of school will be tricky. If they miss one day they have to take finals, otherwise they are exempt with a minimum GPA. May be a short trip but I don't care - we are going. Their time is going by...

    NV Mule Deer Late Archery 101-109

    Everything this year is planned around an early Oct Antelope hunt for my boys in WY. Thru the application season, I applied for a few home runs either early or late for the family and me. One of the tags I drew is a late archery 101-109 mule deer archery tag. With dates of Nov 10-Nov 20...

    Yellow Stone Horse Rental Review

    Just got back from an archery mule deer hunt in Reg G WY. My buddy and I rented a trailer, 2 saddled horses and a pack horse to stay in back country for an extended period of time. We hunted down the Grey's River area and many of the high country basins are 3-4 miles to the base of the...

    Canada Fly-in Fishing Trip - Dads and their boys

    Great time with the whole experience. Kabeelo Lodge near Dryden, Ontario is a first class operation. The discount for youth make this much more affordable for the life time of memories we created. We had our own remote lake that was about a 10 minute flight from the base lodge. The 3...

    Should I have my NM Elk Tag by Now

    Just curious if I should be concerned that my tag has not shown up yet from NM for Oct Mzzldr hunt. Do you have yours? My first elk tag in NM so curious when they are supposed to arrive.

    NM 34 Elk Mzzldr

    1st time hunting elk in NM. Hope they are still bugling some Oct 11. My favorite time of year to be in the woods. Appears to be a number of roads and two tracks criss crossing the unit so backpacking may not be required or an option. Just glad to have a tag and ready to start the...

    Bookcliffs Deer Rifle

    I drew the tag this year with 6 (or 7) points. The posts I read indicate that I should expect to see lots of small bucks with an outside chance at a 160-170 buck with hard work and patience. I'm considering bringing my two boys (9yo and 11yo)to experience seeing the quantity of deer. I'll...

    Jason from CA: NM GMU17 Youth Deer Hunt

    Jason - how did your sons hunt go in unit 17? I failed to ask for your handle so hopefully you see this. I'd like to exchange notes to see if you had any luck with your strategy. We got in deep but could not get high enough to where I expect the game was. 10yo ran out of gas so we bailed...

    Really?

    So it appears that I didn't draw in NM...but my oldest boy drew a late season GMU17 deer tag and late season Antelope tag east of 285 (NE portion). While not the best of the best tags, he'll be out there in his first season. That's pretty cool - lucky dog.

    3 weeks until we depart for our WY elk hunt. The anticipation is killing me so I pulled out some pictures from my fist elk hunt to fuel the fire. Let's see how well this link works. www.2008coelkhunt.shutterfly.com/54 (you may need to copy and paste this link to get it to work). If you click...

    Public Land Trail Cams - For or Against

    Based on the high number of threads and responses, trail cam theft seems to be on the increase. That's unfortunate and not something I condone. That said, I am not a fan of trail cams on public land. You want to know what's on your ranch or your lease, knock yourself out with a camera behind...

    Stolen bow - buzz kill

    Bought a Matthews Monster last summer. Had the good fortune to get drawn in WY for an elk hunt. I enjoyed a 3D shoot this weekend and was having a blast with this high tech bow. Sunday night I put the bow and case behind the seat in the 4 door truck. Keep in mind the truck is in my driveway...

    AZ 27 Elk - Here I come

    Depart this week for my DIY muzzleloader elk hunt in unit 27. The scouting and pre-hunt preparations are wrapping up. I can't wait to experience this once in a lifetime tag with my best friend who did not draw a tag but is going along for support. How cool is that? We're rookie elk hunters...

    Backcountry Muzzleloader Hunting

    I know the first shot must be the one...but sometimes a follow-up shot is required. What have you used to transport your powder, 209 primer and sabot? I have used a small TC cylinder that snaps at the top. Had the thing come open on 3 different spare shots in the back country. Looking for...

    Az Unit 27 Muzzleloader - What am I in for?

    I feel like a won the lottery. One bonus point and I get one of 25 total tags for the unit. Unbelievable. End of September thru 1st week of October so very likely to be some bugling. Time to order the maps and get busy with the homework. If you've hunted the unit, drop me a note. I'd like...
