    2023 Bow reviews

    Just curious if anyone has had a chance to shoot any of the new bows yet? I just upgraded two years ago, but I'm considering doing so again to stay up to date on things, rather than milk it out for 15 years like I did with my last bow. Anyway, I'd be curious to know what you guys like better...

    Which arrows?

    I've seen a few older posts about this, but technology changes so here's a new one. I've been shooting the same arrows for 15+ years, but they aren't made anymore. I'm looking to change to something new. I hunt mostly elk, shoot a 70# bow at 27.5 draw length. What do you guys shoot? What's durable?

    Idaho non-res tag swap

    I posted this in the Idaho thread and gave it some time. It was suggested that I post it here also, so here you go: I'm fully aware that this is a long shot and I'm going to get grief for it. Have at it if you feel so inclined. With that disclaimer out of the way, if there is someone out...

    Tag swap

    I'm fully aware that this is a long shot and I'm going to get grief for it. Have at it if you feel so inclined. With that disclaimer out of the way, if there is someone out there with a Diamond Creek A tag who is wanting to hunt with their buddies or family who have Island Park A tags, let me...

    Northern AZ deer watching?

    I'm headed to St George Utah this week for a few days of relaxing with the wife. Is there anywhere relatively close to watch some rut activity? I'd love to see some bighorns as well if that's an options. I'm aware of the National Park options nearby, but was curious about some other places to go...

    Unhunted tags

    I've been a little curious how many of you get tags that you don't ever hunt with? It seems like every year, I start off in January in hunt acquisition mode and do what i can to give myself as much opportunity as possible, but come fall I have three, four sometimes five tags and one of them...

    Where would you live?

    As far as big game opportunity goes, if you could live in Idaho, Montana or Wyoming, which would it be? This would be for both best OTC opportunity for elk deer and antelope combined with reasonable resident draw odds for OIL tags. Share your reasoning as well. Thanks!

    Which Utah archery Antelope unit?

    I've got 4 antelope points this year and I'd like to burn them to start back at building elk points next year. I've been researching the draw odds and harvest data on the division website and it looks like I can about pick what unit I want, with only a few exceptions. There are also a few CWMU's...

    Copper plated powerbelts

    Are copper plated power belts legal in Idaho? I've got a .54 cal and can't find any pure lead powerbelts in stock anywhere. I've got a muzzleloader elk tag that starts in a few weeks. The regs say pure lead, which the bullet is, but didn't know if the copper plate violates or not. Thoughts?

    Which insulated jacket?

    I've done a few searches in the hunting gear thread, but haven't found any recent info pertaining to what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a ?puffy? jacket for my layering system. I've been learning towards a Kuiu Kenai for a while due to the pit zips, but I'm starting to wonder how much I...

    Looking for moose ideas

    Does anyone have pictures of unique moose shoulder mounts? It seems like 90% of what I see is the straight forward blank stare. I've emailed a Trufit about a wall pedestal mount the have available, but they weren't able to provide any samples of anything that had actually been done with that...

    "Best" all around cartridge for kids?

    I've got a couple of kids who will be hunting for the first time this year and I need to pick up a rifle that will be comfortable (recoil wise) for them to shoot. One is a 10 year old with a light build. I'd like to get something that they could use for elk if the need arises, but it will mostly...

    Anyone have a Cache moose tag?

    If anyone has a tag, shoot me a PM with your cell number and I'll send you a video of a giant and we can talk about the location. I shot an "all time" B&C moose in the same area last year and I'd shoot this moose over my bull. The only stipulation is that i want to put my hands on him once he's...

    Another "what should I get" thread

    I'm looking to pick up a rifle for mostly deer and elk. I've pretty much narrowed my caliber options down to 7mm and .300 win mag. I'd also like to mess around with punching holes in paper out past 400. I'm mostly a bow hunter, so this will pretty much be my all around rifle for a few years...

    More Book Cliffs archery advice

    Alright, I just got back from my first hunting trip. I learned some things and had a lot of fun, but wasn't able to find any great bucks. I did find a few good bucks (24"-27") though. My question is, how much are these bucks going to move between now and the first week of September? Also, any...

    Antlerless draw

    The results don't come out till tomorrow, but I looked on the Division website and I have a bonus point. No cow tag for me this year.

    This years antler growth

    How will the wet weather patern in Utah, along with the higher then normal snow pack affect the antler growth this year? Will it make them bigger, smaller or will it even matter?

    Book Cliffs advice

    Looks like i was hit for $40 more then I was expecting for a deer tag. Any advice on where to start scouting this unit would be greatly appreciated. I've never been down there, I put in with 2 points thinking it was a long shot, but I might as well put in for a tag worth having. Its the archery...

    .300 RUM V.S. .300 Win Mag.

    I know this is kind of a spin off of the "best all around rifle" thred, but I'm just trying to decide between these two. I'm not worried about recoil and I probably won't do anything with a muzzle break. I've shot the .300 RUM without a break and am fine with it. I probably will have my shells...

    Hound question...

    I heard someone say that a good cougar hound won't always be a good bear hound and vice versa. Is that true? I've never owned hounds, and just started getting into bears when I hear this and was wondering if there is any truth to it. Educate me, I know nothing about hound hunting. (although I'd...

    Fall bear hunts....

    Starting to think about the fall hunts. I want to do a fall bear hunt this year, but have never done one, any tips? Do you still bait for them? What do I look for as far as country/terrain to find bears in the fall? Any tips would be great, thanks fellas.

    Remington XCR vs. Remington SPS Stainless?

    I'm getting ready to buy a new rifle. I'm a bowhunter, but want to have a rifle around again for coyotes, draw tags, and to learn more about long range shooting. My question is pretty much in the title, is the XCR worth the extra dough? I don't have a lot of money to buy a gun here and another...

    Cache/Rich Antelope.

    Who's got a tag? If someone who does wants to shoot me a p.m. I think they would enjoy the information I have.

    Sound shots?

    I was talking to a guy the other day who was telling me about a run in with a guy that he watched shooting into a clump of trees during the deer hunt. He thought the guy had a shot deer so he went over to see the trophy or to help track. When he caught up with the shooter and asked what he had...

    southern idaho archery questions

    I am planning on hunting southern Idaho next year for deer and possibly elk (depending on weather or not I draw my utah tag) My question is, which units has the best potential for deer (size and quality)? Do I have to pick one unit, or do you just have to follow the regs for the unit you are in...

    Guiding question...

    Last week I guided a couple of guys on a "trophy" muley hunt. It was a hard hunt in a less then desireble unit. After combing the mountain for four days, my hunters left early and unhappy.(not with me but with the outfitter) I busted my hump, but still felt a little guilty when they told me...

    Whitetail tactics on mulies?

    Does anyone know if rattling, scents, grunting or any of the "whitetail in the rut" tactics would work on mulies in the rut? Specifically the late archery hunt.

    Where to hunt sheep

    One of my top three dream hunts is to kill a sheep. I would love to kill one with a bow, but I'm not picky. Is there anywhere in the lower 48 where I can buy an over the counter tag? Where in utah could I go just to look at some? I'm having a sheep craving looking at all these pics on here and...
