    Giveaway Preference Points

    While responding to the Muck Boots Giveaway I had a thought.... Eastmans needs a preference point system to complicate the giveaway system😊. It's only right that on a forum for hunters that complain about the different states' draw systems that there's some giveaway controversy... The 'ol...

    Outfitter Review: Trophy Mnt or other Wyo Deer/Elk combo

    Looking ahead to 2016 for a deer/elk combo in Wyoming. I've done a fair bit of research already - but thought might as well cover all basis... I'm saving up to fork out the cash for an outfitter that will go back in away from the crowd. I prefer DIY, but really want to go 3+ hours back in on...

    Wyoming application season is open. Who is putting in for what?! My brother and I are finally cashing in max elk points for area 24 special. Anyone else looking to make their dreams a reality?

    Paying it Forward... Wyo Area 20 Moose

    In poker you have to "give some action to get some action." I figured I'd pay it foward and give close to some GPS locations for moose kills in Wyoming Area 20 over the past few years. If you're interested - feel free to send me a PM.

    Wyo Sheep... No max points tags?

    Sharing for no particular reason. Anyone with 16 or greater Deer and Elk NR preference points in Colorado may be intersted in the attached. I started tracking the run-down about 5 years ago. Current thru the 2014 draw and data taken from Colorado Game & Fish website.

    25x50xWW or 20x60 eyepiece?

    Looking at Swarovski spotting scopes and leaning heavily to the HD-ATS 80... Over the top end of my budget but what the hell.... Buy it for life, right? Can't decide on a 25x50 or 20x60 eyepiece. The extra 10x is great... But light/thermal conditions have to be pretty good to take full...

    Deer/elk combo... bullet size question.

    I typically shoot 150/165 gr bullets for deer and 180 gr for elk. Everyone has their own bullet preference but that's mine pretty much regardless what rifle I'm using. This fall I'm doing a back country Deer/Elk combo hunt - 7 days with deer only for first 3 days then both in season for the...

    New Guy Intro

    Hi all, I was so impressed with the "old guy" re-introduction started by UH that it inspired me to actually post a New Member introduction. I'm a member of Monster Muleys and BigGameHunt also... But this is definitely the best hunting forum I have found on the net. I have no idea when I...
