Archery season starts in thirteen days, so lets get this thread started. @NVDesertHunter and I set cameras in late May and both had our firstborns come into our lives within a week. After surviving the newborn stage we checked cameras yesterday and the bears....aren't a big fan of our trail...
While scouting a pronghorn tag with a buddy yesterday (7/28/24) we ran across this muley in Washoe county. With the state of Nevada's mule deer it was a pleasant surprise to see him.
Archery season is almost here, so post those Nevada bucks you've seen in 2024.
With pronghorn on the decline in many western states I have searched for a national conservation organization that is specific for pronghorn. This is all I come up with: https://pronghornfoundation.homestead.com/
The organization seems to be defunct like their website. Does anyone have an...
Applications are in. Now we wait.
How many points do you have?
Hoping for a specific tag?
Show some photos from prior Nevada hunts. Here are a couple great days from last year:
Doubled up out of the same flock in the ice.
Opening day buck. "Goofy" was hard to photograph.
These two...
The pintail season was nearly closed for the upcoming waterfowl season across the US. 30,000 birds made the difference:

I drew a reservation (#29) at Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area for 11/30. Never hunted it before, but here is what I've found out from some research:
It's a large refuge with a small area for assigned blinds
Hunting is typically better the closer you are to the freeway
Only one guest when hunting...
Has anyone used a packraft (have my eyes on Alpacka Raft) for waterfowl hunting? Will be hunting mostly marsh habitat, but a watercraft may also expand my hunting areas.
The transport and portability, vs a kayak, is a big upside for me. I will also use it for hunting (crossing rivers) and...
Let’s get this post started! After the fires ruined my bear hunting plans last year, we retrieved what was left of our trail cameras. Two disintegrated, one melted, one had the card swiped, but one had a gold mine of bears, deer, and some surprises.
Post your scouting efforts and don’t forget...
Started off the waterfowl season in Nevada last weekend. Lets see some pictures from hunts over the course of the season. Northwest youth hunt is this Saturday!
Getting this thread started early in hoping to encourage others to pick up a bear tag this fall in California.
Just spent a day scouting and setting cameras on the east slope. All of the fresh sign was near water sources. With how dry it is I think water will be king this year.
Report how...
I had one hell of a time learning to hunt waterfowl solo during the 2019 & 2020 season. With some off season research and talking to people who know what they were doing I was able to connect a few of the dots. I dove in head first after my big game hunts were over and started hunting...
SB-252 Bears: take prohibition
If you live or hunt in California I'd suggest contacting your state representatives, CDFW, and your local NGOs to make sure this won't pass.
I'm trying to attach a Spartan Precision universal gun adapter to my Bergara B-14 Hunter, but not of the screws provided match. None I have on hand fit either. They replace the sling swivel at the front of the gun. Anyone have an idea what screw size I should use to attach the bipod adapter?
Scouting for the season is in full effect. Lets see how everyone is doing and have engaging conversation about sex, size, field judging, etc.
I'll start with one of two blonde bears we have on camera. One I nearly killed last year after seeing it since July, but it never stopped moving. Had...
Opening day of California black bear archery season is tomorrow and I'm curious if anyone has experience with frontal shots on bears? Do's, don'ts, success stories, failures, etc.
Hi all,
I'll try to keep this short. My Crispi Idaho's aren't cutting it. Might have done some damage to my feet packing out my bull last September in them. I have wide, flat feet and need a stiff boot. I tried on the Crispi Briksdals last night and they felt good, but weren't wide enough...
In addition to a great bull tag, I drew the late rifle buck season for 'big 7' in Nevada. I've hunted there before for elk, and have seen some great bucks on the late bull hunt in the Jarbidge. What I haven't hunted before is a season with such a high success and 4+ pts rate. Are the bucks...
Hi all,
Well, to say I'm excited about the archery tag I drew this year would be an understatement. I already have some inside knowledge from friends about the hunt. I'm planning on sitting water and spot and stalk hunting the first week or so of the season, and if need be return for the last...
