    Cousin Drew My Dream Tag

    My cousin had half the points I have and drew the deer tag I've wanted for a long time. I don't have a tag, but at least I get to go on the hunt. Its very close to use and is the entire month of November so it should be a good time!

    Thats a pretty good tag! I hunt up there a lot. This year I didn't draw a deer or elk tag for that unit, but I dad drew an archery cow and deer so I'll be up there. If you aren't familiar with the unit and need any tips, let me know.

    Drew for Nevada

    GoHunt and Top Rut both showed I had over 80% chance for my deer and elk choices this season so I planned my other applications around that. I almost just bought a point for antelope since I knew I wanted to use any time from home or work to be for elk, and the deer hunting unit I apply for is...

    Haha I had high odds at a deer and elk tag and ended up only drawing an antelope tag that I aimed for the fences with!!!!! Time to get the 7mm08 ready to give a loper the ole Howa Hand Shake.

    Nevada Tag Results Posted Wednesday

    The draw happened today an during the draw they said results will be posted on Wednesday. I’m not sure what time. They said they need 48 hours to verify everything. Not sure if that is an exact number and/or if it’s from the begging of the draw or end. Either way results will be posted...

    First time elk hunter in Idaho

    With llamas are perfect for solo hunts. Super easy to take care of, you can Camp in comfort, and have an easy time getting your elk out. Plus they are fun to have around.

    First time elk hunter in Idaho

    Beaverheads is a great unit. I can’t give to much details because I was shown the area from my good buddy, the Llama lover himself, Beau Baty. It was the first year of him using Llamas so we went in very deep because we didn’t have to worry about a pack out. For most units, expect a long and...

    Where You Wouldn’t Expect to Find Elk

    Went out a couple weeks ago with my 4 year old son to put a couple miles in looking for desert elk sheds. Kinda slow with the little guy with me but he wanted to hike the whole time. He doesn’t like to be carried because he says he’s a big kid now haha. After the hike I decided to stop at a...

    Coloring Antlers

    I live in Vegas. Haha it’s definitely not real grass. Real grass doesn’t grow to well here without constant work. Don’t have mow this stuff, or water it. Plus it doesn’t die haha

    Coloring Antlers

    I normally don't color my antlers because I believe it makes it lose its value both is money and memory, but I really wanted to color the big deadhead I found a week ago. I watched a lot of videos and ask a lot of questions to other shed hunters, then tested these ideas on sheds that I didn't...

    Turkey Stir Fry

    A buddy of mine gave me some turkey meat from the turkey he shot last week. It wasn’t a lot of meat so I decided to make some stir fry with it. Stir fry can make a little meat go a long ways. Turkey Meat (any white meat works) Broccolini (immature broccoli) Rice noodles Garlic clove Green...

    old antlers

    Wood filler and stain work well too. Just make sure you practice on some sheds you don’t care about. Just did this chalky 5 point as practice before I do a big deadhead. Takes a few fails and a lot of tinkering with stain colors. Had to mix a few colors to get what I wanted. Some light...

    Vegas Elk sheds and a Deadhead

    Went out last weekend to look for sheds in a new area that I seen elk tracks. It wasn’t as productive as I thought it would be on quantity, but definitely better than I though for quality. And the deadhead at the end of the day made the entire trip! *Side note* there is a shed season in...

    Big Horn Sheep Street Tacos

    Tonight’s wild game meal is out of the desert bighorn ewe I killed 2 seasons ago. First cut a big section meat into big slices about 1/4” thick so it’s like a flank steak. I don’t cut my meat into steaks or anything like that when I process it. I keep it in whole muscle groups so I have a...

    Savage axis replacement stock?

    This may be an old post, but I am also thinking of getting a new stock for my axis in .204. Mainly just because I want a new gun, but can't get myself to buy a new gun because I love this gun so much. I bought it when I was in college when money was tight because I didn't own a rifle and was...
