075 early elk tag for me with 18 points. So excited! I hunted it last year with a landowner muzzleloader tag. I got a beautiful 6x7 and hoping for an even bigger one this year.

Thanks guys! We lost our home in a wildfire in 2020. I had a trophy room with a lifetime of memories. My sweet wife told me "You get to start all over again". I have a new barn with lots of wall space to work on filling up. Again, I appreciate this form and its members!

September to remember!

I'm on a roll...last night after dinner, I went up on the top of my property looking for a blacktail buck I've been trying to get. Well, I found him right before last light. Had to get my wife away from the dishes to help me recover him, ha ha!

Thanks for the input guys! I want to also share with you all a photo of my elk I just got 2 days ago in Nevada on a muzzleloader hunt. I was truly blessed this year to hit the jackpot on tags. I still have 2 great mule deer hunts to come. I'm now retired and am enjoying every minute of it!

I need some advice. I dropped off my cape at a taxidermist in Reno but am struggling with what to do. The biologist said he might make B&C but I dont have a score yet. Maybe I really want my first life size mount but man it's expensive! Any ideas from you guys on pose or position? Right...

Wow, thanks Jim! Looks way better

9 1/4", ha ha

We're headed out tomorrow for my Montana mountain goat hunt, and right onto Nevada muzzleloader elk! Good luck everyone and stay safe!

X5A mule deer. Completely unexpected!

The DFG website says the results will be posted by 6/14. I'm thinking 5pm today? With max points for sheep and elk, I'm always optimistic!

Does anyone have an opening weekend report from unit 91? My son and I are headed out later this week to try to make the most of it.

We lost our home in a Northern California wildfire last year and I lost all of my hunting gear. I would have hunted with my Mathews Creed for 5 more years since I hate New bows if the old one is still doing what it's supposed to. I bought a new Mathews V3 and can't say enough good things about...
