I have not been very active on this forum in the past year, being new parents leaves us very little "down-time" but man is it great! What a awesome fall I had! My travels started with a WY Pronghorn hunt in September, come mid October we went on a Mule Deer hunt to the Big Horn Mountains of...

I am thinking about applying for UT, elk and deer. I know my chances of drawing a decent unit are very slim and I will be way behind on PP's. However, my thinking is that many years down the road I will have more money set aside for hunting and thought about trying to get good tags and using a...

Check out this TN whitetail "hanging" out in the backyard. My daughter took advantage of the opportunity and hoped on, since she didn't like her first Santa visit I thought this was only fitting. Haha, this is a mount I just completed. It is a hard left turn wall pedestal, it really...

Just got back and had a great trip! My grandfather killed his first mule deer and I tagged out on a nice buck too. The weather was brutal and we got hit with snow in Mitchell, SD on I-90 and had to travel 400 miles West in those conditions. The weather really made for a true adventure and added...

Headed out Friday for SE Montana, got access to a private ranch thats had minimal pressure. This will be my first time hunting Mid Nov muleys and my first time ever hunting them with daytime high temps barely in the 20's for a week solid! Burr is all I can say... Has anyone seen any rutting...

I just now heard about this, http://www.petersenshunting.com/news/world-record-pronghorn/ 96" and over 18" tall...stud for sure. I assume this is legit???

My grandfather and I are looking into getting a new UTV. We have a JD Gator that is around 16 years old, she still does the minimum on the farm but she is pushing retirement! What are some suggestions from you guys? We would like this UTV to serve not only as our new farm work horse but also...

I purchased a GoPro3+ Black edition a few weeks ago. Right out of the bag I decided to try the time lapse feature while I was working on a deer. I used 5mp and 5 second intervals. I simply uploaded it to the GoPro studio and did 24fps output for the images. My battery died (forgot to charge...

Figured I would share a "before" and "after" of my 2013 DIY Public Land muley hunt. Here is the field photo, I killed this deer about 2.5 hours before sunset and we had around a 7 mile hike back to the truck. It was a late night! Here is the "after" photo, I do my own taxidermy work. This...

Not to mention any major magazine names, but those that know what I am talking about why are mule deer hunts so dang expensive in this area? $20k for a deer hunt? Insane...what am I missing here? FYI...I know nothing about UT hunting.

Just ordered the new GoPro 3+ black edition, pretty excited to get it before season starts. Where are taking our 6 month old on her first backpacking trip in the Great Smoky Mnts National Park soon, so i will be setting the GoPro up to capture her first overnight trip. Anyone have any...

Logically I assume it is illegal to park on the Interstate to access public land, although I have been searching the WY laws and their "rules of the road" booklet with no luck finding a definite answer. One law enforcement person said they do not enforce such things and I have not contacted the...

Lots of things up in the air right now, but if the opportunity arises I may make a looooong road trip over to AZ with my father in-law in January. He is not a hunter but is in love with the South West, I just started applying for AZ so I am going to take this as a chance to explore some areas...

I have been thinking about applying for a MT antelope tag, a "trophy" is not really on my radar as much as hunting in new country. I thought about the 700 districts but would really like to hunt them in a different type of terrain, so I thought about the Western side of the state, I have been...

Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I am looking into getting some new back country hiking/hunting clothing. Kryptek has crossed my path, so I am looking into getting some. I really want something that is lite weight, breathable, durable, flexible and some water resistant properties...

Has anyone hunted in 50 (rifle or muzzy)? After a long internal debate with myself I decided to put this down as my 2nd choice in the Spec App. The family and I will be in Yellowstone the end of Aug so I was looking for a unit I could hunt in early Sept after they flew back home, this unit has...

I wrote this blog about one my experiences growing up outside. A buddy of mine is getting into outdoor media so I started this blog for his facebook page. (FYI..I do not get paid for this, it is PURE entertainment). http://swampcitymedia.blogspot.com/2014/02/kids-turkeys-and-guns-oh-my.html...

I love to read anything by CJ Box (WY native) and his series about Joe Pickett are one of the best things to read in the field, tent, bathroom, deer stand, weddings, etc... For those that have not read this series, Joe is a fictional WY Game Warden that gets into a lot of mischief that is not...

I am from middle TN, West of Nashville. Grew up on a small Angus cattle farm and was taught to hunt and fish by my grandfather. Went to school at UT Knoxville, yes the Vols sucked at that time too, and moved back home a few years ago. My wife and I just had our first child, little girl, and I...

Thinking about taking my grandfather to MT unit 705 this fall. It will be a private ranch mostly. I am thinking about going around Nov 15, so here are my questions/concerns; 1.) What could I suspect for weather? I know its a crap shoot guess, but historically would we be OK? Our dates are...
