    South Slope Diamond Mtn

    While there is no general deer season for that unit the hunt will run the same time as the general season deer hunt does in the rest of the state which is 10/22-10/30 and that is the Any Legal Weapon Hunt There is a multi season permit for that unit but that season says Multi-Season hunt...

    South Slope Diamond Mtn

    I hunted that area years and years ago, one big problem is that there is a lot of private. At the time that I hunted it the land owners didn't care, but that changed over the years when new and old owners found out that people will pay for access. I believe that there is even a CWMU out there...

    Utah: Ethics Course Required For Shed Hunting

    You will see it more in the western states just do to the amount of federal and state lands. The Midwestern and eastern states are mostly private and would be handled by trespassing laws. If you have never seen the shed hunters you wouldn't believe it. In my area in Colorado they would be...

    Wyoming Corner Hopping Turns Into Hunter Harassment?

    I used to place members on forums on ignore but then I found that I missed a lot of what others were saying and needed to go unignore that person to see what all the hubbub was about. I learned to just ignore those who I want to, I may read part of their post but at least I know what is going...

    Wyoming Corner Hopping Turns Into Hunter Harassment?

    I agree that anymore with everyone having a cell phone in their pocket that there should be a video of the event especially once it started to escalate.

    Pack raft

    If that was the way that I planned on getting a moose out I would definitely hunt upstream. That is unless my way out of the country was downstream, then I would just float down to where the moose was.

    Pack raft

    You place the moose into the raft and then you walk it downstream......They had a episode of Meateater once and that is the way that they did it.

    6.5-300 Weatherby

    Weatherby has a 224 Weatherby mag and they still sell rounds for it. They are quite expensive for a 22 but they have them, usually from Weatherby directly. I don't believe that there is a big enough of a market for them for other retailers to stock them.

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    That snake den is quite interesting. Some years when we hike into it we find nothing, the snakes are way deep into it. Then other years they are out all over the place to the point that you really need to be careful on where you step. The year that I found it there was a beautiful diamondback...

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    It's my walking stick along with helping steady my pistol. It is a stem off of a yucca plant. It has kept me from hitting the ground a number of times and when we hike into the canyon that has the rattlesnake den in I can use it to move the snakes around a little to get a better picture...

    6.5-300 Weatherby

    I agree with CC. To keep out of the poor house with any of the Weatherby round you need to reload. Why pay $100+ for a box of 20 when you can load them yourself for less than $40?

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    It's always fun and you never know what to expect from year to year. This was our 27th trip down there and I doubt that it will be out last.

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    We started out this year wondering just where we were going to live while we were down in Arizona. We had been staying with a good friend who passed away in 2020. Then I called the old motel that we had stayed in and they were closed due to covid. I tried a number of other motels around the...

    Elk hunt Colorado unit 61

    Depending on the size of the bull that you want very little scouting may be required in this unit. When I hunted it back in 2015 we scouted the south end but in the end we didn't find what we were looking for as far as size so we swapped to the north end only knowing the roads. We didn't do...

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    We've had a couple of hunters treating a couple of washes that we hunt like a off road race. They almost hit my partner head on the other day not to mention the damage that they are doing to the truck that they are in. But they left the other day and tonight we started seeing tracks back down...

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    Quick report, in 5 days we only have 1 javelina down. They are harder to find this year than winning Powerball tickets. The wind hasn't helped any it is constantly blowing 10 to 15 mph, today turned off hot and got into the lower 80's. One more day to get 1 more pig but from what I saw this...

    Over The River and Down The Road to Arizona I Go

    In our area the size of a herd is trending downward, most of the time we'll see small groups of 4 or 5 very seldom much larger. The last large herd that I saw was back in 2009 and there were over 30 in that herd. But we had a hard time finding them that year until we ran into that herd. But we...
