I agree DDD the elk were few and far between, it rained every day we were there and I only glassed up a bachelor group of 4 spike bulls and one possibly legal bull. I only had a MZ cow tag. My partners had cows in MZ range but no bulls. 7 days of hard hunting and 13 elk spotted. We were in...
Congrats on the Bear. I also had some luck in SW Colorado in the San Juan NF. Got him Sept 13 with the muzzleloader. Shot was 32 yards and he only made it 3 until he piled up. Didn't have a scale in camp but weighed the hide and quarters when I got back to WI and they weighed 225. Guessing...
Just checked my Drawing Status and we were drawn this year. I'm a little confused about my next step. Do I have to apply for a limited draw or do I have a General Class A tag with my successful draw? We are still intending on hunting 705. I can't seem to find a listing of zones covered with...
Montana 2009
This one is only a doe, but she was my first out of state big game animal. The memory of the spotting them from a mile away and stalking into 225 yards and placing a great shot on her will last a long time. Not to mention waking up opening morning and sliding your feet into boots...
2004 Record Book Buck
Here is my 2004 173" Wisconsin Whitetail. I took him on the 3rd day of the season after scouting him for the week prior to the opener. I had encounters the two nights before I connected, but kept changing things up and eventually he came into range.
According to the...
I was fortunate to cross paths with a great landowner while on an antelope hunt this year. After several hours of chatting the rancher and his son invited myself and my hunting partner back for a future deer rifle hunt.
I was just wondering what steps I need to take to obtain a deer tag in...
I would harvest the animal. I have done so on 2 occasions during the WI 9 day gun season for whitetails. I am a die hard bowhunter but am in the woods taking some kids out. I have the tag anyway and would rather see the animal put to use than going to waste. I would also like to rub off on...

Buddies 2008 gun buck
My 2004 bow buck, 173 total inches, 152 3/8 typical, 15pt, ranked 3rd in county at time of scoring. Shot 3rd day of season.
Friend of the families first deer 2008 youth hunt. Same tree same day, each was there to witness their brother...
I also just tagged my first western big game animal. We screwed up and blew 2 points on doe tags, but had a great hunt in some adverse conditions.
We arrived in SE Montana on Friday; snow, wind, and highs in the 20's. Low of 9 degrees at night, 60 degrees at the ceiling of the camper but the...
