    2015 Utah Mule Deer

    Just got back and got all my meat cut. What a trip! Back in the winter, I was discussing with a friend where to start hunting mulies in the high country. He suggested Utah, and from there he helped me pick a unit and a spot. I applied for the tag, thrilled to be able to start big game hunting...

    Google Earth Scouting- What to look for?

    What do you guys look for scouting for elk on GE? Ill post some pics of places i'm looking at. Obviously "food, water, bedding" are the answers, but specifically what draws you to one location over another?

    New bow with a cool story!

    My mom called me today and told me her fiance had something for me. Apparently, fiances' grandpa used to be part of 'some archery club' . A guy he shot with gave him a bow. The bow laid around the house for years. No one after grandpa ever hunted or shot any archery so it sat as a decor piece...

    Keep your chin up!

    2009 was a terrible year for me. I had just been promoted to a full time job making 45k, just married, and just bought a new car and moved into a new apartment. Life was good, until June. A series of bad events led to me losing my job, having a car repo'd and losing everything but my marriage...

    Sleeping Pad?

    Suggestions? went to Bass Pro and they had a very limited selection. Believe it or not there aren't many back country hunters here in the Buckeye State. Looking for lightweight and small (duh....right?)

    Turkey Nest

    Founds this turkey nest while trying to locate a mid day gobbler. After a series of crow calls and a mad dash on a box call I turned to see a hen jumping from this nest and flying right by my head. my front foot was about 2 feet from the nest when she jumped. Scared the crap out of me! Been...

    Wasatch General Elk Question

    Looking at the maps it looks like the general tag is Spike/cow only. But I keep reading on other forums that Wasatch is an any elk unit from Aug-16-Sept 3rd (last years dates) anyone know anything about this? ***Edit- yes I read (skimmed) the reg booklet but I couldn't find anything.

    1st beef in 6 months

    Since I killed my doe in Sept, then 4 animals in Wyoming, then my buck- I've had a pretty healthy supply of venison. I still have about 40# left and I've been eating like a king! My wife went out of town for a few days and I forgot to lay out something for dinner. I went to Meijer with the...

    Thought I had my mind made up for 2015 but....

    Though I knew what I was gonna do but now I'm not sure. Assuming I draw the deer tag in Utah (95% odds) I'll be going out for the opening archery week. I may not hunt it till that Monday to weed away a few hunters though. My initial plan was to Draw UT and try to get an easy draw NV deer as...

    Opinions on Driving Vs Flying costs

    So I'm 90% sure I'll draw my Utah deer tag, maybe a NV too. Im curious if anyone has ever flown, rented a vehicle and shipped meat back or if everyone just drives? I'm coming from Ohio and solo so I figure on 4 days of driving to and from, that's a lot of gas an 4 extra days I'm off work and...

    When does Wy announce Archery season dates?

    All of the sudden the opportunity for an August deer hunt in Utah and/or NV popped up. Just to see what my options were I was going to see when Wy Archery season for antelope and deer is. I can't find anything on the site. Seems like last year it varied greatly from unit to unit but I have to...

    1st year applying to NV

    Where should I start for deer? Are any areas 1st year draws that are worth hunting? Or is NV just a matter of building points and waiting for a good unit? I've seen guys that go there almost every year but they aren't giving up much info (I don't blame em!) Thanks! Oh yeah, Im looking for...

    Hey guys, My September-Jan is slammed full hunting the east coast this year. I was talking to another guy on here and it got my blood pumping for another mule deer hunt. What state has the earliest archery opener? I don't have many points anywhere so I'm not expecting a giant. Just trying to...
