    Looking for advice on antelope

    This is really unexpected. I got a call from my daughter who is 23. She now lives in the Clovis, New Mexico area. She never had a interest in hunting as a child mainly due to she did not like loud noise. She has high functioning autism. She said she would like me to take her on an antelope...

    Antelope numbers and tags issued?

    The area I drew my antelope tag for in Wyoming. The number of antelope was terrible. In 2017 my last trip I said they had more antelope than Arkansas has squirrels. This was not the case for 2020. 500 any antelope tags and 400 doe/fawn tags. I wonder why they issued so many tags when the...

    Google earth scouting

    I do a lot of scouting using maps and google earth. I was just wondering why you never seem to be able to see game when you zoom into areas. I know a couple areas that antelope always seem to be in the same area and you can not see them. Just wondering what others thoughts about this are.

    Dry?

    I notice several fires in the North Central part of the State. Does this indicate a dry year and poor antler and horn growth?

    You Tube

    Youtube has changed my life. What did people do prior to having it? I know it has saved me a lot of money. Last week I took a few days off to go trout fishing on the White River here in Arkansas. I took my boat with a 50 hp Mercury on it. On the third morning when I started the engine (I...

    Vortex Diamondback spotting scope

    I am trying to decide between the 20-60x60mm and 20-60x80mm. I have read a lot of reviews. Most are positive, but a few say above 40 power hard to focus. Hard to tell which glass they are talking about as it seems they are all bunched together. $500.00 is my max budget really above it, but I...

    How far from a water source in the mountains can you expect to find Mule deer? I am studying maps of some remote mountain areas. One of the areas I like seems to be around 1.25 miles in any direction to a water source of any kind. I was wondering if that would reduce the number of mule deer...
