Thanks for checking out my story and responding! Really appreciate it. -
First Mule Deer - 2020 NM Blackpowder Hunt
The next morning, we hunted close to the river again with no luck. With our mid-morning time we went and hiked out some new ridges and glassed into some big canyons in a different part of the unit, but overall sign was really scarce. I did sneak up on a javelina at a water tank up on top of a... -
First Mule Deer - 2020 NM Blackpowder Hunt
Took a while to get around to posting, but wanted to share my 2020 mule deer success in NM. Several HT members shared information that really helped me get started on this hunt and I've messaged or texted with them since the hunt - what a great community. Drove 8.5 hours out on a Thursday at... -
CO Antelope - Units 137, 138 & 144
About a month late, but just wanted to post a follow up on this hunt. I arrived two days early to give myself a full day to scout. Located 8 different bucks while scouting, half and half animals on private/public land. Really liked the area. Variety of terrain gives you several options in how... -

NM Unit 37 Mule Deer - Muzzleloader
Drew a Unit 37 muzzleloader tag for 10/24 - 10/28. While not the most coveted tag, this one is significant to me. My grandfather, dad, uncles, and more hunted the unit regularly before I was born, always on West Mountain from the same campsite. While I plan to be a little more flexible about... -
Benefits of Cooling Antelope
What do you find is the typical time frame for rigor to pass on an antelope? Hope I get to test this out in October! -
Physically disabled son and hunting options
405-521-3855 is the phone number for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation - Information and Education Division which Todd works under.

Physically disabled son and hunting options
You might look up Todd Craighead. He’s been the host of Outdoor Oklahoma for many years, a weekly outdoors tv show put on by the OK Wildlife Department on PBS. Todd was born with fairly severe arthrogryposis but has made quite a career in the outdoors. Pretty amazing to see each week how he has...- Chase

CO Antelope - Units 137, 138 & 144
Point taken. While I haven’t been too active posting, during the last few years I have been able to help a few guys via PM with info about some units in NM I know. Your help is appreciated and I’ll be sure to pay it forward - just not with your info. Thanks again! -
CO Antelope - Units 137, 138 & 144
Burned my preference points on a rifle tag this year for pronghorn in southeast CO. I had a good conversation with the CPW manager for the area and he was very helpful in answering specific questions. He pointed out that intense hunting pressure has been biggest factor in last few years, but... -
Injured / Deformed Animal Pics
Looking at the "As they lay" thread got me thinking about animals I've taken that had injuries or deformities. Always interesting to think about the stories those things tell. Anybody else got some to post? I killed this buck in Oklahoma on opening day of archery season in 2016. He had a severe...- Chase

4.5-14x40 Too Much for Elk?
Thanks for all of the input. Looks like I've got a project to work on this weekend. -
4.5-14x40 Too Much for Elk?
I'm working with a Weatherby Vanguard 7mm Rem Mag. I purchased the rifle in 2004 and put a VX-1 3-9x40 on it. I've always had 1" groups at 100 yds or better out of this set-up. Recently I received a new VX-3 4.5-14x40 as a gift (last model year before they went to VX-3i). My plan is to swap out... -

Rain gear for Alaskan fly fishing trip
Chucknduck - Iliamna River Lodge is the place we are headed. I believe this is their first year operating from this lodge, but the same guys own and operate Rainbow River Lodge, where the other guys in our group have stayed several times. Kaitum - As far as targets, I'd like to try to catch...- Chase
