Blue Collar, the game most of the poor working guy Usually a resident only hunter. has time and money to go after. Moose , sheep, goats, caribou etc. are a step above. Guess maybe I shoulda mentioned, I'm thinking Central/Northern Idaho. Montana,. Utah have whitetail?
Hey guys, I'm in Northeast Nevada, I've harvested most of what I call the "Blue Collar" game. Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope, Black Bear, and Javelina. So I guess my next move would be a Whitetail. Where would be my best place to try, considering travel, cost, etc. I don't need a trophy just a...
Shot my first deer with a Savage 99 in 22HP. My Dad's gun. He still has it, says over the years it brought down many a deer, antelope, and even a good number of elk.
Drew an archery Antelope, 061, looks like I'll be doing the second draw for Mule deer. no elk this year, unless I decide to try something OTC in Idaho.
Any one have good experience with a particular manufacturers after market bumpers? Not looking for something to go head to head with a freight train, but something I'm not afraid to throw a handyman jack under and tip a truck back onto the road. Both front and back.
I've read how hard it is to judge bears, I thought he wasn't too big so I asked before I pulled the trigger if he was big enough and all I heard was "SHOOT".
Just got home from a week in Montana bear hunting. Kind of a mixed trip. There won't be any photos. Did bring home a small red bear. I was kinda embarrassed by the size, but after dropping him off at the Taxidermist, he showed me some others so its not to bad I guess. Actually harvested him when...
I have friends in Butte and with it warming up so early wanted to get hide to a taxi as soon as possible instead of hauling all the way back to NV. I'm just looking for a rug, and cleaned bleached skull, Doesn't have to be First in the World taxi, but still would like a nice job. Of course all...
Going on my first ever Bear hunt in Montana in a couple weeks, Being the first time I'm realistic just seeing one and maybe getting a stalk would be enough, but also trying to plan ahead. Anybody have the info for a good Taxidermist in Butte? If I should be lucky enough to get into one, I want...
Lets try this again my first reply didn't seem to go through, Any of the NE NV hunts can be good, as well as areas around Ely. Area 10 (101-109) has the largest deer population in the state also the most tags. A lot of the Rubies are surrounded by private ground and the Sportsman access areas...
It would be great if each youth and Mentor could be evaluated individually for competency, but that isn't possible. So the State has to take an average age when most youths are responsible enough to handle a firearm, and hunt. Is it fair to the younger ones who have responsible mentors, NO, on...
I thought I would try my hand at a spring MT Black Bear hunt. It was recommended I try the last week of May, but with the easy winter and warming up so quick thought I might want to move that up a week or two. Any thoughts??? Looking at Southwest area West of I15 South of Butte.
We'll be hunting 18B, I think further South may be better hunting but that's far enough to drive from here, and we've always at least seen a few. More than anything its a great time of year to get outa here and wander through some different country.
Putting the final items in the camp pile. Me and my brother will be heading to Arizona for the spring Javelina Archery season which opens New Years day. Weather looks to be a bit cooler than usual the first couple of days but warms up over the week. Still Beats NE Nevada in January. Couplr pf...
I know Central Idaho a bit and know some folks in SW Montana, Quick question again. I know spring hunts to check the south slopes, clear cuts, old logging roads anywhere it greens up. Is a spring hunt a morning/evening affair or are they out rousting around most anytime of day?
About three years ago I got a sudden hankering to harvest a bear. I'm a spot and stalk hunter so probably would go after bear the same way. Thinking of a spring hunt. Question? Central Idaho or Southwestern Montana?
I haven't coyote hunted for quite awhile. Going to get back into it this winter. I have always used mouth calls, Are the electronics calls worth the money over a mouth call? Which electronic would you guys recommend, priced on the lower end?
"Most Fun"- Archery Arizona Javelina in January, "Spend the most time at" - Archery Mule Deer, "Most looked forward to" - Archery Bugling Elk, (If I ever draw), ooh wait he question was favorite, take your pick.
While out hiking the mountain this week looking for that elusive 4 point, I came up with an idea for a new outdoors product. Anyone know how I might go about getting this thing produced? Do I contact a manufacturer of the product it's based on, or do I call one of those gypo outfits that...
