I am looking to burn my points this year. I have 15 points for deer going into the draw. Because of work constraints (owning my own business) unguided is a no go due to limited to no time to scout. Because of limited time and the years put in, I understand a high quality hunt may will not be...

How crazy am I to be considering a hunt in Sonora this January? With COVID what do you think the odds are the hunts will take place? Bonus question: anyone hunt with SDO Sonora Desert Outfitters?

Sitting on 14 points and I am looking to burn them in 2020. Have another friend with the same points who would likely join me on the hunt. Because I live a good distance away and run a business I have no time to try to do this hunt DIY as I have done previously in the West. Anyone willing to...

I would like to spend not more than about $300-$400 on a new tripod and head. I am looking for suggestions. The setup would be predominently for my Zeiss spotting scope. I live in the midwest so a lot of my spotting is close to a vehicle. I also do hunt in the west but rarely carry a...

I am going to do a November rifle hunt on a reservation and have the ability to hunt mule deer the first week of November or the end of November. 2nd and 3rd weeks are full. The terrain is ag fields mixing into river bottoms. Baited stands as well as some spot and stalk over the river...

Has anyone tried filing a chargeback with their credit card company for their applications for NM Sheep or Oryx? I am probably going to do it today. I am a merchant and if I did offered one thing, took someone's money then changed the agreement after the fact I would need to IMMEDIATELY refund...

One of my employees is looking to do a ranch type guided hunt. They have a party of four with no points and want to spend about $3500 each. Does anyone have any recommendations? They want to hunt this year.

I am looking to ship a bunch of Huntin Fool, Eastmans, Trophy Hunter, etc to the troops. Does anybody have an idea where to send them to and how to go about it?

Super excited to be hunting my favorite state, with my favorite hunting weapon in one of the best units! Anybody have this tag before? I'd love to see some pics or hear some stories to get me even more stoked!

Looking to possibly use up my points in Kansas on a guided hunt. Any suggestions on an outfitter in the $4k range or less on good quality whitetails? I have taken some very good whitetails and am pretty selective at this point so I'd rather have an opportunity at 170+ animals and go home...

I think I am going to use my points in Kansas this year or next with the hope of drawing a mule deer stamp. If not whiteys it is. Because of where I live and the very little time I can take off from work I think I am going to do an outfitter on this hunt. Suggestions for muleys first but good...

I have 8 points going into this year's draw and I want to apply for either an archery or muzzleloader tag. I am willing to pay a trespass fee to hunt private. Any suggestions where to start looking - this would be my first CO hunt but have hunted other states pretty extensively. Feel free to...

I have 6 PP for antelope in Colorado and CO is not well know for a lot of great antelope and I have shot a couple already and will at some point draw the Red Desert in WY and with luck a good tag some day in NM. That being said, I think I might just cash in the point in a party app with my Dad...

I am on top of the points heap (I know, I know who isn't right :) and am thinking about going for the Special tag in an effort to improve my odds for 2011. Because I live half the way across country I can not scout much and my business dictates I can't be gone from work for 10 days to 2 weeks...

I know most all of us here on this forum are pretty seasoned hunters and look to take a nice animal for the given unit we are hunting myself included. That being said what are your thoughts on why there is SO MUCH emphasis on score? I was fortunate last year to kill what for me was an...

I have enough points to draw this tag and am wondering if anyone could share a little bit as far as quality expectations, how the winter was and some general knowledge. Not looking for your honey hole but if you want to share it - I won't turn you down :) You can feel free to PM any responses...

Unsuccessful for me once again...

I am looking to buy about four (2 pair or 4 non-matched) bigger elk sheds. My taxidermist is doing a pedestal mount on my elk from this year and he uses sheds to build the base. I am looking to pay fair market on them and they can be white or brown. PM with details or post here.

If you are a hunter I would encourage you to avoid UAL as they have just banned antlers on their planes. As a hunter who has flow with antlers (and meat) I have had great success with American. I urge each of you to contact UAL to express your displeasure and until such time as they agree to...

I am trying to decide on how to have my elk mounted and would love to see some of your mounts. I'd really like to see some pedestal mounts as I don't have real high ceilings and that may be the direction I go. Any pics will be greatly appreciated however.

Here is a picture of my first elk (first elk hunt) that I took in New Mexico hunting with Paul Butler of JFWRC Ranch Consulting ( www.NewMexicoBigGameHunting.com ). I've been on a lot of hunts where things just didn't come together but for this one all the stars aligned and it was a 10 from the...

I am not looking for secret spots here just general information for my upcoming Muzzy hunt 10-17 to 10-21. How were numbers this year and where have the elk been? Any help is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to PM any information. Thank you

Bullets, Powder and Primers - let's hear opinions.

Hi, I have a Knight Revolution and have always used Hornady SST 300 gr bullets on deer and my dad used this set up to take an elk a couple of years ago and dropped it in its tracks (it was only 60 yards however). I'd like a setup that could make a quick, ethical kill out to 175 yards and am...

Anybody on here hunt this unit? I'm not looking for honey holes just general information such as: What kind of bull should I hold out for? What are some general tips suggestions for this hunt Oct 17-21? In general which side of the unit is better?

I've applied in several states but have never done MT. How does it work for deer, elk and sheep? Do I have to buy a hunting license to accumulate points like other states?

OK. I decided to go with a Monarch on a 204 Ruger I have. What size scope? I am thinking of the 6.5-20 X 44 in either Mil Dot or Nikoplex. Thoughts, comments?

What are your thoughts on this scope? I have a couple Zeiss and one Leupold but am looking for something on a 204 Ruger that I won at a banquet. I can buy the Nikon wholesale so I can get them fairly reasonable. What are your thoughts on the quality of these?

I'm looking to purchase a good tripod/head to be used for business (50%) for product videos and hunting (50%) - if my accountant is reading this 100% business - and was wondering what setup I should choose. I know the Bogen heads are good but which one? What about for the tripod? I have an...

LAST EDITED ON May-11-08 AT 10:37AM (MST)[p]I want to upgrade from a standard digital camera to an SLR. I am somewhat of a novice but want to take higher quality photos. I need the camera to be able to take very high resolution pics up close for my E-commerce company (product shots on a tripod...

I am going to buy a digital SLR camera and want to be able to use it with my Zeiss Diascope spotting scope. Other than the $350 adapter is there a way to configure the two together for high quality (not professional quality - just good quality) photos. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Is it worth staying in? I am 34 and live east of the Miss and probably will not hunt Utah in the next few years unless I draw an LE tag. Having to now put up for the license first is it a waste of my money?

I am 34 and looking to maybe use my points in Colorado for mule deer. I am an avid bowhunter and muzzleloader hunter. I am in good shape. Because I am a flatlander I will be using a guide or paying a fee to hunt private ground. Where are some good places (units) (outfitters) to start? I...

I have a question: How many out there have used booking agents? How have your experiences been? What is good/bad about using?

Here is a warning to all you Ebay users out there. Please bid with extreme caution (or better yet do not bid at all) on any items that are delivered over 60 days after the auction ends. This almost always includes hunts. I bought a subscription to the Wall Street Journal from a fraudulent...

I am interested in applying in Montana for Elk and Deer. How does the draw work for the limited units? Do you have to apply for a general tag first? Are there preference points - I think there are for sheep, goats, etc and are they worth getting in if you have no points now?

I live in Michigan and am looking to purchase a digital infared scouting camera. Something that can take the cold and has long lasting batteries. What have you guys found to be good?
