We are looking at putting in for New Mexico this year for a southern hunt in the fall. Draw odds look to be 5-13% depending on the unit and type of weapon. I am not able to find a way to do a group hunt. Does anyone know the trick or where it is that you get this done? I am going to call them on...

South Dakota Slim Buttes rifle tag. 250 yard shot. Itchy trigger finger, should've waited till the next day, saw 3 bigger ones but that's how it goes.

My 13 year old son had drawn a late season cow tag for our South Dakota Black Hills. The unit he drew the tag for is where I like to archery hunt mule deer and rifle hunt whitetails. I checked my cameras after Thanksgiving to find no elk in the area for the previous two weeks. This is not...

Ok guys i'm starting to plan out my elk hunt for next year. I am going to study the mrs and tags for Wyoming first and apply there with my 4 points, my back ups are Colorado for muzzleloader with 4 points, then Colorado for OTC archery or possibly Montana. With my work schedule I have to pick...

We took these antelope in South Dakota on opening day of rifle season this year. We could have been done within 2 hours of opening light. I tried to hold out for later in the day to find a larger buck than my friends. It was my son's first buck of any kind.

My boy worked hard to figure out his rifle, scope and round that he wanted to be able to use for a variety of game here in South Dakota. He ended up buying a Tikka T3 lite in .308, vortex viper pst 6-24 ffp scope and Hornady 165 grain sst. The last couple days we have gone out to a new field to...

The work on the water hole is starting to pay off. I have friends with rifle tags for elk and whitetails in the hills. I have my archery tag that I hope to put on a mule deer, unless the split g2 buck above shows up, would be hard to pass on him. Need to start getting out and scouting more for...

So after almost two weeks I went back to check. I had a camera right on the water hole and one about 400 yards away on a trail crossing. There was about 2600 pictures between the two. Tons of cows and calfs, a few spike bulls along with one whitetail buck and some muley and whitetail does. There...

The last few years I've noticed some in the area I hunt that are no longer working. Today I came across some water barrels in good shape on Craigslist. 3 hours later and I have 165 gallons of water in my truck ready to go on a little adventure tomorrow. I already had the day set aside for...

Spent the last weekend out trying to fill my sons last turkey tag. We noticed that areas where we were seeing 50-200 deer a day, all of a sudden vanished. We only saw a handful of smaller bucks. That got us thinking most does are dropping fawns. Doing some research we figured average of 200 day...

I drew a special turkey tag for a state park here in South Dakota. It takes about 5 years preference to draw. I had been in the park once so far this year, the day had snow, rain and sleet with no results. Yesterday the weather started to warm up and we noticed the birds were out strutting in...

spurs on mine were 7/8 inch with a 8 inch beard, other two were a little bigger. Already turned one fan into a tom decoy for one of the guys to use for his archer tag.

Two co-workers and I went out this morning to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We had a good idea where the birds normally go once they get off the roost. We were able to call them in from about 150 yards away using my avian x jake and hen decoys. Three toms came right in to the decoys. When the...

Yesterday was the season opener. The first picture is from Thursday the 31st of March when I went to check on the set up. I have been able to hunt a small farm outside of Rapid City, SD the last few years that sits on the creek. The birds roost in the cottonwoods up and down the creek. The...

Did some scouting today for a special state park tag I drew. Found over 10 toms in 3 different areas that I will get to go after along with 99 other guys.

I cannot wait for April 2nd! Blind is all set up, turkeys are there, just need the time to go by. We had a litle snow of 3 inches that will keep them close for a while longer. Goal is to take one by decapitation with a bullhead broadhead, then crossbow, and then blackpowder shotgun.
