For those thinking about applying. February has been brutal in Montana as far as cold and snow (2nd coldest in recorded history). 2 bad winters in a row on an already depleted deer resource - I would not have...
Anyone have any reviews on these? Thinking about selling my 4 wheeler and getting one. Looked at one today and my main concern was the low ground clearance - any issues getting hung up or in the snow?
LAST EDITED ON Jun-15-17 AT 05:00PM (MST)[p]I'm aware there's a lot of private/CWMU's, 2 hunts before mine, and a general spike hunt during the same dates; with 0 points I figured I'd at least give myself a chance of drawing.
I'm spent a fair bit of time in that area on the NV side of the...
LAST EDITED ON Jun-22-16 AT 08:16PM (MST)[p]Seems that many of the leaders of this transfer/sell movement are also affiliated with the LDS religion. Is this simply because the movement sprouted in Utah/Eastern NV/SE ID, or is there a connection and possible financial backing? I'm of the...

First of all, I have no grudge against outfitters. I have always been curious about the "legality" of these outfitter set aside tags on PUBLIC LAND. Seems to me...
Was planning on hunting unit 92 for Antelope starting Thursday. Looks like some weather is forecasted for Friday & Saturday. I've heard that the roads can get bad with moisture in this region. Will I have problems if I stick to the main roads and use the ATV on the secondary roads? How fast do...

Does the new monument designation (704K acres) Obama signed today affect hunting access?
Can anyone reccomend a good horse packer or horse rental place in the Cody area? Also, what's the going rate for packing an elk out (I don't require a camp packed in)? Thanks.
Been up scouting over the summer a few times; didn't see a lot for moose, but was told not to expect to that time of year. I was able to drive/hike a good deal of the unit.
Only able to take 1 week off of work so I'm hunting the 2nd season starting Oct. 9th (glad I did with the warm weather the...
LAST EDITED ON Jul-15-10 AT 07:48PM (MST)[p]May be recieving job offer soon. What is the town like? Housing kind of looks like slim picking? Recreation? Schools? I know its cold & windy, no wal-mart (which is not all bad), and have heard the stories about oil/gas towns. I'd be coming from a...
I had a deer license last year, and just want to gain points for deer and elk this year. On the online application page, there's a box that looks like it should not be checked if I want to gain points (although it is worded poorly). Then when I get to the payment page it says something about...
Just got a call from Utah Div. of Wildlife. Someone turned their tag in, and I'm the alternate; have to decide by tomorrow morning. Being a nonres. with only 7 points, I think the decision is pretty simple. I heard the area is thick, and I'm not likely going to get a chance to check it out...
The mountains got a good dusting today in northern NV, snow level appeared to around 8500 ft. After sweating my tail off last weekend, its a welcome change.
Drew unit 53 2nd Season deer with 1 point, which was unexpected. I'm guessing the winterkill of 2007/2008 and the economy dropped the odds some. With the early 2nd season dates this year, and barring any major storms, I'm planning on backpacking in and hunting fairly high. Also considering a...
I recently purchased some from cameraland, on sale for around $550. Cameraland's service was fine. I took the binos out his morning for the first real test; and my old swarovski slc 10x42s made them look poor. Eyecups were somewhat uncomfortable, sharpeness & color were subpar; they are bright...

From a quick glance, it looks like a provision for conservation group raffle tags (no limit on # purchased) was "added" to the mentor hunting license bill (AB246) before it goes to the govenor. It looks like...
How are tags allocated when the 2nd and 3rd season quotas are listed together? Example would be Deer unit 41, shows a 2008 quota of 1836 for both seasons.

About to purchase a spot hogg sight. Is the hogg wrap worth the $50 if I only hunt out west/spot and stalk. I read it can be "too bright" during the day.
This little guy was pretty curious. Took these photos with my little digital at about 40 yards in the East Humboldts.
Before he left, he did one last pose. I don't think he was too worried about me after seeing me crawl up the mountain in the afternoon heat.
Any reccomendations for something extremely light and compact, but tall enough to use sitting down? Trying to keep it below $100 as well. This would be for a lightweight spotting scope and binoculars.
LAST EDITED ON Oct-06-07 AT 07:53PM (MST)[p]My daughter shot a buck in the butt from 220 yds, he looked pretty hurt. We circled a around, waited about a half hour, and jumped him again at 200 yards "running". She shot 4 more times (all misses). Tracked him for 1.5 more miles, the blood almost...
Is it ok to put your gun safe in the garage? I live in Northern Nevada, so humidity isn't much of a problem. But we do have large temperature swings between day and night. I don't store any ammo in the safe.
I have a pair of mendls from cabelas that I have basically worn the sole out on in 5 years. The rubber on the toe is also coming apart from yhe leather. Expected a little more for $260. Maybe some shoe glue can get me through the year?
LAST EDITED ON Jun-13-07 AT 08:44PM (MST)[p]Luckily I drew this tag. I'll be up there quite a few outings between here and September 15th. I'm not really interested in an outfitter/guide, but am very interested in hiring a reliable packer to get my bull off the Mtn in the September heat. I have...
LAST EDITED ON Feb-02-07 AT 09:25PM (MST)[p]I'm looking for some advice about which of these Colorado units to apply for, my Dad is older and in OK shape, and I'm in my thirties and tend to seek out the rough stuff. We have a small travel trailer or a wall tent. Of coarse the trailer would be...
Opening morning, my wife shot him from 400 yards right through the heart. He's 24" wide and his body was huge for a Nevada deer. Had a good layer of fat on him.
Me hiking him out, luckily it wasn't too far. Unluckily it was uphill.
I'm off to Idaho on Monday. Good luck to everyone else.
This is the best buck I've located so far. I know the photo's are not very good, but he's a 6x5 plus eyeguards. I figure he's 24+" wide and will go around 170-180 gross. Hopefully I'll have some better photos on Sept. 16th.
I've been seeing at least 20 cows for every deer I see scouting this year, granted cows are a lot easier to see. But how much do cattle compete with deer? I've heard two different schools of thought, one being grazing is detrimental and the other is that cattle eat mainly grass which helps...

Pretty sure my wife and/or daughter will draw this unit, beutiful country and lots of healthy looking deer, even though its early. NVBIGHORN, you don't have to name the exact drainage this time, although I'm sure you probabbly could!
I do not understand the whole mount purchasing market. I can see why cabela's, a bar or another sortsman orientied business would want them (attract customers). But why would anyone want something they did not harvest? This whole Kirt Darner thing is why I posted this.
LAST EDITED ON Jan-24-06 AT 07:58PM (MST)[p]Here's some pics of Reggie and myself, only six of the birds in the first photo are mine, my partner only got three. A lot of birds this year, and this is the last week of the season. Can anyone guess the Mountain Range?
By the way, My dog is 7...
