    Idaho was good to me again!

    I just returned from my Idaho deer hunt. I had another great solo adventure. I wasn't able to break free until the second week of season, but didn't really mind since for me it always seems that Nov.10-20 is the magic time for the mule deer rut, most places I hunt out west. I explored a lot of...

    ID Unit 22 Deer

    I got a nice surprise and drew a unit 22 late deer tag in ID. It seems like a great tag with good success rates. I haven't found much information on this hunt though. It's still early and I haven't contacted very many resources, but thought I might run it by the folks on EF and see if anyone has...

    Hooked

    I made the long road trip to AZ for the second time in a few months. I was fortunate enough to be successful on another first for me. This time it was Javelina. I went to AZ expecting another solo experience, but between the guys that shared knowledge of the area over the phone/web and the great...

    AZ Coues Success

    I was able to make the long road trip(23 hrs.)from OR to AZ for my first ever Coues hunt. Until I reached my hunting unit I had never even seen a Coues deer. The fact that I had never set foot in the unit and this would be a solo hunt made for a little bit of nervousness. But still, I was like a...

    OR Muzzle Loader White Tail

    Had a good late Muzzle Loader Whitetail hunt and was lucky enough to connect with this cool double brow tine buck!

    Blacktail Success

    I was fortunate to find this guy, tucked away in the midst of the opening morning crowd of hunters. Kind of unusual for me as I usually don't tag out until the pressure drops off a bit.

    Hat Trick!

    I didn't draw a Spring Bear tag, but made up for it with my best Spring Long Beard season yet! I feel pretty lucky. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

    Black Tail Success

    Tough hunt that I was beginning to question my sanity for passing up a small buck. Just couldn't turn up a mature deer. It all was worth the wait when this buck appeared out of the wood work. Kind of like a ghost peaking through the re-prod. Always a mentally tough hunt in the brush, but when it...

    Fall Bear Down

    Well I lucked out and got a big bear just in time to get him cut up (with my brothers help) and in the freezer. I actually had to postpone my departure date to UT for my MZ Elk hunt a couple days. I had seen a small bear 3 different times (one of those I sat within 20 yards) but against my...

    MZ suggestions

    I have a Knight MK-85 MZ that I shoot conicals, caps and peep sights with. I love this gun and it's legal in OR, CO, ID, WA etc.. I am hunting elk in UT with a MZ this year and hope to take advantage of their more liberal MZ restrictions. I am looking to buy a MZ that I'll shoot strictly sabots...

    Book Cliffs MZ Elk

    Well it looks like I finally out ran the point creep. I've been to this unit with my brother during the late rifle a few years back, but I know this will be quite a bit different. I'm still kind of in shock I actually drew, because I thought I'd draw the last two years and didn't:)

    Colorado unit 62

    Does anyone have experience in unit 62 for elk or deer. I'm especially interested in elk with a MZ, but I am also curious about the deer opportunities as well. I have never set foot in the unit and I am just starting my research, so I've got a lot to sort through. I will have a ton of more...

    AK draws

    Looked at my AK draw results, Nothing but a lot of NO's. Looks like if I go up this year, it will be over the counter. Hope everyone else had good luck!

    Last Minute Question

    I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on an elk unit for WY, But one unit I was curious about that I haven't found much info on is 35. Would anyone want to share their thoughts or experience in 35. It would be a non-resident DIY public land hunt and bow or rifle are both options. Thanks, for...

    WY elk unit?

    I was hoping to get some of you folks opinions on good choices for WY elk. I have 7 pts. and I am afraid I might be in no mans land so to speak. I am a non resident DIY only guy, so as discussed heavily on here, unfortunately my choices are limited to non-wilderness areas (probably) or find a...

    Kodiak Goat Hunt

    Here's a few pics of my trip to Kodiak, AK in Sept. I had a great trip and even though I was a little disappointed in my judging skills, I was successful in taking my first goat and learned a ton for my next trip. I also took the opportunity to fish for some silvers before heading home. Kodiak...

    OR Blacktail

    Thought I'd post a pic of my OR Blacktail. Each year I head out to multiple states for multiple species, but hunting blacktails at home with the family is still one of the most challenging and fun hunts each year!

    A Hunt To Look Forward To!

    My daughter was able to get home from college again this year, to hunt blacktails. We were super short on time for my daughter's hunt (less than two full days). Maybe not the biggest deer, but she made a perfect shot and he'll be great eating. The time spent hunting together with my kids, makes...
