Hello Forum- Quick update on our antelope hunt this year in unit 113. I asked several forum members for advice on this area and got great responses as usual and I wanted to thank all of you (you know who you are). We hunted unit 113 in mid October and the advice/warnings about tough public...

Question to the Forum. What is the best, most honest (i.e., money goes to deer, not lining people's pockets), most effective conservation organization for mule deer specifically. I'm familiar with the usual suspects, but wanted to get an account of what people think of as the best and most...

Colorado 2017, 4th season. Conditions weren't favorable for hunting wintering ground, mature bucks hadn't migrated down yet. Cold weather finally brought out low-elevation resident bucks and tags and freezers were filled (Ruger 7mm RemMag, 150gr Rem CorLokt, Leopold VXII 3-9, 200 yard shot...

The countdown to the 4th season is winding down. Checking in on the weather/rut update to see if we're getting enough weather up high to get deer heading to winter grounds by mid-November and hopefully kicking in the rut. 3rd season folks should be chomping at the bit too. Good luck my fellow...

Hello All. My wife and I are getting ready for our 11th anniversary and I noticed the traditional gift for the 11th anniversary is steel. What an opportunity! I wanted to point her towards somewhere to get a new custom hunting knife. The internet is filled with custom knife makers. But does...

Hello Wyoming Hunters. I wanted to see if anyone has antelope hunting experience in Unit 113, south of Kaycee. I'm looking at that unit for potential applications and see that there isn't the largest concentration of public land but not too bad. I've only ever hunting out of Thermopolis...

Who else got bumped out of a deer tag from point creep for the 2016 Colorado deer seasons? It looks like pushing all 4 deer seasons back by a week for 2016, it seems a lot of people are investing long-saved points to get a season that much closer to the rut. Can anyone confirm this effect for...

Hi Eastmans Forum- I hope your hunting seasons are going good. I'm looking to book a hunt for my Dad and I for Colorado mule deer and was hoping to get some input on an outfitter we're zeroing in on. Dad and I have saved up 12 preference points each for Colorado mule deer and want to cash them...

Quick question for the Eastman's forum community. I've accumulated enough PP for a hunt in GMU 70 in Colorado for deer. Has anyone spent time in or know the Dry Creek Basin State Wildlife Area? My research and map reviews show it to be rolling sage brush country, possibly winter range? I'm...

Hey Guys, apologies for the long silence...I didn't have my notification settings correct. We had a great hunt last year and I got a nice 14-inch buck just outside Shoshoni, WY, near "Lost Cabin". Can't recall the zone off the bat. We had good weather and saw lots of goats, most in the 13-14...

Hello Hunters. I wanted to start this thread because it looks like there are a lot of non-resident hunters saving their points for a high quality Colorado mule deer hunt and I'm interested in hearing from you your experiences and recommendations. My Dad and I went on a OTC elk hunt in Unit 30...

Hello EHJ Community. I'm a western hunter, born and bred. My family settled on the central coast of California over 150 years ago and I'm raising the next generation of locals. Our family comes from the ranching and farming tradition in CA and hunting is in our DNA. The outdoors and wildlife...
