I'm planning on bowhunting mule deer up high again this year. It's very open country, usually steep with a breeze blowing. But it's the only spot I know I can find deer. As a relatively new hunter, and even newer bow hunter, I'm wondering how do you guys hunt in this situation? What's your...

I found this a few years ago on top of a mountain. What is it? Looks fossilized...

Sunrises can be wonderful. Here's a lake in the Sierras. I shouldn't have been here. It was steeper than it looked, and none of the rocks were secure. But there was a buck hiding in a small gnarly pine bush at the top of this slope.

Loving the pics everyone is putting up! I don't take many, but certainly need to take more this year.

I'm sure most hunters have close calls about something dangerous that could, or did happen to them while hunting. Or perhaps it was 'a friend' and you would like to pass on the story. Anything to help pass the time until next hunting season! One of my close calls was when I shot a muley buck...

I have this and used it all this season. Packed in about 6 miles solo and packed out all my gear and a boned out mule deer. Pack was 110+ pounds and it fit me well. The clip that goes across my chest simply pulled off from itself. I don't think I can get it back on, it was terribly designed. It...

I packed in 6+ miles last weekend in the high country in D6 and filled my tag. There was a little snow on the ground on the north sides of the mountains, and temps were from 50 degrees to 30. Great hiking weather! In archery season and the opening weekend of rifle season combined, I saw 16...

Well the California drawing has closed and hopefully we'll find out soon what zones we'll be hunting. This is going to be a fun thread where we all try to call our shot, and then come back this fall and see how close we all were to getting it right! Now's the time to year to get excited and...

Question for you Nevada Mule Deer experts... I have zero points and don't live in NV, are there any zones that could be drawn on the first try? I know rifle would probably take several years, but what about archery? I thought I found some, but those turn out to be a longbow hunt. I have a...

I'm a relative bowhunting noob, and I want to get some input from the experts here! :) Question: How do you go about your spot and stalk? Mainly talking about mule deer, but other animals could apply. When you locate an animal you want to shoot, what do you do next? Take off your shoes and...

Let's get this California section going! I know the success rate for archery hunting is much lower than general season, but in the premium X-zones, a person could hunt there more often... I have 1 point and instead of waiting to draw a rifle tag, I'm thinking about just applying for an archery...

I was thinking how much of a challenge it would be to film myself hiking in 8-20 miles at 10,000+ elevation while hunting for mule deer this upcoming year. Does anyone have experience with this? I think it could be done with minimal expense. There's some nice, small video cameras to be had...

He's just a 2x2, but I was on crutches and it was not the time to be too picky. He tasted great, lol.
