For people familiar with the area, what will I find open in the Cowles/Terrero Area? is it weather dependant? Doesn't look like there is a lot of accumulation until later in the season but there might be some snow. Do most hunters just find a truck camping spot outside of the USFS campgrounds?

So I'm flying into Albuquerque on Aug 10 and flying out on the 15th. In addition to Scouting on the VV, I'll be interested in checking out some of the local attractions on my way to and from. We land at 6pm and need to shop for groceries before heading to VV. Probably will spend the night...

In the interest of making the most of my Vacation and Scouting time, I'm considering Flying to ABQ and renting a car to go scout my Elk unit in Northern New Mexico . Wanted camp to be a little nicer than backpack fare, and I was trying to figure out how to get a 2 burner Campstove there. The...

My 73 year old father, who has been very active and is in good shape for his age has expressed a desire to get "a really good mule deer". Now he isn't going to be able to climb to 12,000 feet in CO or WY. He isn't going to pay 5 figures to hunt the Jicarilla Res. I thought Alberta might be an...

For 4 years I've been hunting the same unit in Wyoming for elk. In that time I've only seen one mule deer buck in the unit. Now I know people kill deer in the unit, but I'm surprised that with 2 weeks in the summer riding trails and 4 elk seasons I haven't seen a shooter mule deer buck...

When you talk to other hunters it is only natural to inquire about the area someone got a nice animal in or has hunted for years. Generally I will mention the largest city in the county I'm hunting. I won't mention the trailhead, or drainage I'm using unless I encounter another hunter in my area.

When you are hunting out of a fixed camp (and plan to return to camp that night), What is a reasonable distance in your mind for that path?

Going to head to Estes Park CO for my Brother in Laws wedding. It is a two day drive, but we are going to take 3 days to get there from Northern CA. Figure Park City would be a reasonable place to play and spend the night in a RV camp. Kids are 16,14, and 8 and I want them to catch fish...

Trying to get my father and uncle lined out on applying for Antelope in NW Nevada. They have a friend in Denio, and I'm not sure if I should tell them to apply for the unit I hunted last Fall or the 032, 033,034 unit their buddy lives in. Heck I might have 'em apply for the Sheldon as a...

Well I'm not good enough to be a TV celebrity. So I figure I need to do something to stroke my ego, and become a household name in the Hunting world. What would be the most controversial way to do that? Yes, this is a Satirical Post (tongue in cheek)...Gimme your best...

Let's see where the bell curve hits across all weapons. I hypothesize the majority of shots are 2-300 yards, but I predict there will be a skewed sub 100 yards.
