I was lucky enough to draw a tag this year with my dad for Antelope in 52-2. If anyone is familiar with the area (Southwest of Saratoga) Id love to ask a few questions...Let me know and I'll shoot ya a PM. Cheers and good luck to y'all!

Hi folks, I'm hoping to glean a bit of advice from those more familiar with Western Elk hunting states than I am... My father really wants to do an elk hunt. He will be 65 this year. We just can't tackle the super rough-rugged mountains I know that Elk often inhabit. Im looking for a general...

Hi Folks, I am planning my very first Western hunt for Mule Deer this Fall. I will be hunting SE Idaho and I'm gearing up and making my lists, etc. I recently purchased a Redfield 20-60x80 Spotting Scope. I plan on packing it with me during our hunt (Day-trips; not overnight backcountry). It...

Welp, after getting cross-eyed looking at maps, harvest data and google earth I now have a 'new' plan this year for Idaho. I posted a few times in the past and received some input... but here is the nuts and bolts: Me, my dad, and 3 buddies are trying to plan our first Mule deer hunt in Idaho...

Howdy folks, I am looking for recommendations on lodging in unit 39 for the Mule Deer opener this season. Our plans fell through, so we are going to give OTC Idaho a try. Ive read all the scary stories about unit 39 in terms of people, ATV's etc. But I am told every year they still kill a pile...

Im suffering a bit of the drawing blues and scramblin' to get a backup trip lined up after not getting drawn for the Deer combo license in Montana... The way I see it, if we want to still do a Muley trip this year our choice is either OTC Idaho, or Wyoming. I have 1 point in Wyoming- and at...

Anyone else seeing drawing results posted yet? I checked mine and it says "unsuccessful for 2017"... I called them to make sure since I hadn't seen any announcement that results were posted and they said "the drawing is taking place right now, final results will not be posted until Monday April...

Hi Folks, Been researching a DIY mule deer hunt for this fall, and pretty well settled on SE Montana. General tag, allows harvest of either WT or MD, either sex, BLM land, and rebounding deer numbers (generally speaking). Were not looking for monster bucks, just want to cut our teeth on our...

Alright, maybe a Utah Resident or someone with more brainpower than me can solve this one. I will preface my question with the fact that I am still fairly new to hunting out west. Did my first antelope hunt last year in WY, and received a lot of help here on the forum and posted my full report...

This may sound like a dumb question, but what exactly is in the MRS book? I am new to Western Hunting, and new to this forum. I recently signed up for a subscription to Eastmans, and my most recent magazine came with a leaflet that says I can get the MRS book for $49.99... but I am a bit unclear...

Hi folks, Im still fairly new to the forum, and figured its only right if I post and share about my recent hunt, since many of you commented on my original posts and sent personal messages with me when planning and researching this trip (thanks again). I originally started planning for the...

Hi folks. Sorta posting here hoping someone can throw me a bone. Out hunting unit 9 for antelope with my dad and a friend for our first time. We're public hunting and have been covering a lot of ground bouncing around to blue state lands and pink walk in areas. Anyone willing to share which...

Hi folks: May be a bit early, but I'm already doing some planning for a 2017 deer hunt in Wyoming. I'm 31 and in pretty good shape, but I got to have my #1 hunting buddy with me, which is my Dad who will be 64 years old. We will both have 1 preference point for deer going into the 2017 draw. I...

So like a lot of folks I was fortunate to draw an antelope tag with my dad for this Fall. We drew unit 9, and plan on staying and hunting around the town of Lusk, in Niobrara county. Instead of beating a dead horse and asking for info on hunting, I am looking for recommendations on OTHER...

Hi folks, I just returned from a 4 day backpacking trip in Capitol Reef National Forest in Utah. It was strictly a backcountry hiking trip, and my first time to the state. We had an amazing time and were blown away at the beauty of Utah... Anyway, the reason I am posting is because on our...
