Hello Everyone, It looks like my cousin and I have decided to put in for an archery tag in Colorado this year. We have an average of 4 points and think we have some units narrowed down. We are in pretty good shape, and should be in really good shape by august. I just had some general timing...

Hi everyone, hope the off season has treated everyone well. The end of January marks the start of the hardest time of the year for me. Every year I go through the application process for Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and sometimes other states. This is the hardest part about hunting for me. I...

I had an awesome experience this year in Utah. There were alot of ups and downs, but the adventure is what its all about. There were too many people in the area for my liking, but we got away from them pretty easily. I saw some of the biggest deer that I have ever seen in my life. I stalked at...

I finally made a day and a half trip out to scout for archery season. I saw alot of bucks! Some of the biggest deer that I have seen in my life. I will be leaving next week to go hunt and am super pumped. I don't want to get to excited and stick a deer on the first day unless its a monster (well...

I had a feeling at the end of last year that 2015 would be a great hunting season. I am off to a good start, drawing the Book Cliffs Archery Deer tag. Just waiting on Wyoming and Idaho results to get my calendar set. This is going to be my first hunt in Utah. Super Stoked!

I have always stuck with cheaper cameras. My cousin, uncle, and I all have the same primos cameras. They are not too high tech but they get the job done. We got ours for $65 here are some of the photos that we have taken.

I am back from my weekend on the mountain. I got hit with a lot of rain. I talked with another hunter coming off the mountain. He told me that the elk haven't been vocal at all and that it was hot and dry for a week prior to me going up there. I was excited because I had found a wallow this...

This year my hunting trip was cut short because of work. Two weeks before my trip my leave was denied. I had planned this archery elk hunt with my cousin and uncle coming up from California. They still made it out and I salvaged 2 days on the mountain with them. The first two days of season the...

i am looking at buying a spotting scope my options are a swarovski ATS 65 from a friend with a 20x60 lense on it. It is not the HD one according to him. Or saving up for a newer less expensive brand like Vortex. Any information would be helpful. Thank you

Hi, I grew up in Northern California and was lucky enough to hunt, fish, and explore the outdoors as a kid. I joined the AF in 2010 and my hunting slowed down quite a bit. I am now stationed in Mountain Home Idaho and love it up here. Looking to get back in the full swing of things. I primarily...
