Thinking about elk 2017 already. Hunted above Vega reservoir 20 years ago on a rifle hunt. thinking about doing it again in 2017 with an archery either sex tag. Any thoughts? Good as any unit? Don't bother? I'm not a backpack hunter, but I am willing to cover ground from a base camp. I have a...
Went Sage Hen hunting Sunday for a few hours. Went where we ususally see some when deer hunting. Never ran across a single bird. BUT, I did take the coyote calls and made three stands while out there.
Stand #1: should have stayed a few more minutes, got up and started on up the ridge and then...
My Elk season ended Friday. Went in the 9th saw plenty of elk. Had 30 hd of cows, and maybe 14 bulls located in a canyon. Some but not all the Bulls were bugling pretty good, but didn't really seem to be challenging each other just talkin. Did get three to come in between friday and Tuesday...
Home from opening weekend, Went back to the basin I scouted a few weeks ago. the bulls I spotted were still there plus a few more. 9 in total. I didn't get in on anything but after dropping off into the basin it's probably a good thing. Just getting myself back outa there was enough. deeper than...
Anyone have any good ideas on how to clear up a scuffed GPS screen. Mines gotten to the point I can't read it unless I lick my thumb and wipe it down. that only last a few seconds.
the area I drew was not my fist choice, It's a great unit if you're a heathen back pack hunter but at my age I'm not quite up for that. any way I looked over the maps and found this basin that was seemed accessible to me, the south slopes looked to be open for feeding and the north slopes had...
I've got an early archery tag 072, 073, 074, Aug 25th-Sept 16th. Plan on a couple scouting trips before hand. I'm willing to trade info. Not likely they'll be in the same areas from early archery to those later hunts though. right now I'm looking more at 074 for starters. I'm too old for those...
NV archery Bull Elk, Area 7 (072 ,073, 074) Aug 25th - Sept 16th, Waiting on the 2nd NV draw for Mule deer. not much hope cut the tags by almost half this year. Last year over 300 tags in the second draw only 59 this year. (archery only)
I've always thought the horsed should be turned over to Fish and Game to manage, wouldn't have to be hunted (as in shot). But sell a quota of tags to be removed from the range any way the tag holder see's fit, caught and sold, trained and used, or shot. A horse runner could get 50-tags if they...
I wasn't saying you had to have a bullet stop exactly under the skin, was just saying ideally a bullet would expend all its energy IN the animal. I expected some push back but not all the frothing at the mouth. I'll crawl back in my hole now.
I’m more of an archery guy these days, haven’t used a rifle much since the ole Winchester silvertips, and pointed soft point days. I keep reading posts how a lot of guys brag about a complete pass through with their preferred bullet. Seems kinda contradictory to me, as for a bullets performance...
This was my first ever bear hunt. Montana a year ago this week, Not much of a hunt just stumbled onto him while scouting a place to hunt. Going to Idaho in two weeks to give it another try. I'll try to remember to get more pics out hunting this time. I always take a camera but never remember to...
