Lots of things up in the air right now, but if the opportunity arises I may make a looooong road trip over to AZ with my father in-law in January. He is not a hunter but is in love with the South West, I just started applying for AZ so I am going to take this as a chance to explore some areas...

Spent a few days chasing turkeys in NW Nebraska in the Soldier Creek Wilderness. Didnt pull the trigger on any birds, didnt see much game but the country is beautiful.

I have been thinking about applying for a MT antelope tag, a "trophy" is not really on my radar as much as hunting in new country. I thought about the 700 districts but would really like to hunt them in a different type of terrain, so I thought about the Western side of the state, I have been...

Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I am looking into getting some new back country hiking/hunting clothing. Kryptek has crossed my path, so I am looking into getting some. I really want something that is lite weight, breathable, durable, flexible and some water resistant properties...

Has anyone hunted in 50 (rifle or muzzy)? After a long internal debate with myself I decided to put this down as my 2nd choice in the Spec App. The family and I will be in Yellowstone the end of Aug so I was looking for a unit I could hunt in early Sept after they flew back home, this unit has...

I wrote this blog about one my experiences growing up outside. A buddy of mine is getting into outdoor media so I started this blog for his facebook page. (FYI..I do not get paid for this, it is PURE entertainment). http://swampcitymedia.blogspot.com/2014/02/kids-turkeys-and-guns-oh-my.html...

I love to read anything by CJ Box (WY native) and his series about Joe Pickett are one of the best things to read in the field, tent, bathroom, deer stand, weddings, etc... For those that have not read this series, Joe is a fictional WY Game Warden that gets into a lot of mischief that is not...

I am from middle TN, West of Nashville. Grew up on a small Angus cattle farm and was taught to hunt and fish by my grandfather. Went to school at UT Knoxville, yes the Vols sucked at that time too, and moved back home a few years ago. My wife and I just had our first child, little girl, and I...

Thinking about taking my grandfather to MT unit 705 this fall. It will be a private ranch mostly. I am thinking about going around Nov 15, so here are my questions/concerns; 1.) What could I suspect for weather? I know its a crap shoot guess, but historically would we be OK? Our dates are...

Kind of an odd thread here on Eastmans, but does anyone turkey hunt the NW corner of NE? Thinking about going out this May on a hunt/deer scout trip. On my way back from the Black Hills of SD we drove through and noticed a lot of the forest had burned. Im sure by now the critters are back...

I posted this in the WY forum, but since it is related to Mule deer I thought it would be fitting to share here as well. I have attached a blog about my 2013 mule deer hunt in WY, I have gained a lot of information from this forum and from the magazine so this is my way of giving back and...

Just getting around to posting this on here. I love to blog my adventures (by no means am I a good writer, its just my way of record keeping you could say) and share them with others in hope it may inspire or help them in some way. 3 of us traveled to WY this past fall and had a spectacular...

We head for WY Muleys late next week in the Big Horns. Been watching the weather and so far it looks like the snow/moisture is coming earlier this year than the past (probably normal though). I was outside of Buffalo this time last year and they got a good snow and they shutdown the Hwy going...

So does anyone know the ins? Most federal websites are shutdown and the BLM plan has noting in it about hunting. So...can we still hunt on National Forest and BLM lands?

Been looking at getting some antlerless tags this fall for WY. Talked with the Kaycee Game Warden about antelope tags, but the rancher he pointed me too is pretty well full this year. I considered the BLM land but wasnt sure if there was a huntable population of antelope there or not. After...

I would suggest a reproduction skull, a quality one will run you about $50-$75 (from a supplier if you do all the work yourself, not including plaque either) and will last multiple lifetimes, plus they do not stink and you do not have to worry about cleaning them. Here is one I just did for a...

I am having a difficult time deciding if I am going to get insulated or non-insulated boots. I have a pair of Merrell's I use for warmer weather long distance backpacking trips (75 miles plus). They are under 8" (not sure of their exact height), but I still handle 60lbs plus loads when I have...

Just wondering everyones thoughts on picking between Y or F. We are building deer points and would still like to hunt every year. We are wanting a mountain hunt, so these are the units we are narrowed down to. Right now we are looking at area 125 in Y and 105 in F, we are NR and will be...

I have been checking this forum out for a while to stay on top of all the great things that are being past around...thanks to all that have shared! I have a couple general questions and if anyone can help me out that would be great too! I am building my Elk/Deer points but during the process I...
