    2017 AZ Elk and Antelope Draw Soon

    Credit cards have to be updated by Thursday, March 16 by 11:59 pm (Arizona time). Since this is the first year that AZGFD won't be calling successful applicants when charges on their credit cards don't go through, I am thinking they almost have to charge the credit cards the day after the...

    Colorado Preference Point Fee Question

    My wife and I both drew Colorado deer tags in 2016. If I remember correctly, we now won't have to pay preference point fees for deer, elk and antelope. Is that correct? I'm just doing a sanity check here. In years we don't draw I buy an annual fishing license to bypass the preference point fees.

    How would you set up a long range shooting range?

    I am beginning to brainstorm putting in a long range shooting range on some farm land my family has. My kids and especially my daughter, love to shoot. There is a spot where we could shoot at least 800 yards and potentially 1000 yards. I think it would be cool to have metal plates to shoot...

    Rib Meat and the Gutless Method

    I have been doing the gutless method from before it was popular or even had a name. It just made sense after growing up and dealing with a lot of carcasses from the farm and the field. It seems recently I have been seeing more and more photos of these animals that have been field dressed with...

    Oregon Premium Elk Tag, Sled Springs

    My nephew's best friend, who has often fished with us for fall chinooks, has drawn the single premium elk tag for the Sled Springs unit (firearm hunt from September 1 to November 30). They will obviously be timing their hunt to hunt the rut with a rifle. I have not hunted the unit but have...

    Hunting shots you regret passing on...

    Do you have any opportunities on animals that you passed on and now looking back that decision haunts you. I have two. The first was back in the 1980's and I was in my early 20s. I had been hunting late muzzleloader blacktail seasons, and my goal that year was a "four point" or nothing...

    Berger 7mm 195gr Extreme Outer Limits Elite Hunter Bullet (G1=0.754)

    The Berger 7mm 195gr Extreme Outer Limits Elite Hunter Bullet The ballistic coefficient of this bullet is ridiculous. G1 = 0.754 G7 = 0.387 This bullet needs a 1 in 8.3 twist of faster for best stabilization. I was at the Portland Sportmen's Show this past weekend and learned about this...

    How to get off the 160" class treadmill??

    I've killed a bunch of 160 class mule deer and one 183 clean typical (20 years ago). The 183 buck came off a late Nevada tag where finding big bucks was a daily occurrence. How do I get off the 160 class treadmill? I've drawn very good units, hunted great dates, had a tag that I was told "it...

    My First Crossbow Hunting Experience (WY Elk)

    I haven't seen much on our forum dealing with crossbows so I thought I would start this thread. Last fall I injured my left shoulder (an impingement) hanging my elk at the meat locker. When this year's application season rolled by, I had to pass on a long time plan to burn a pile of AZ elk...

    2015 Utah Beaver Elk (Late Rifle)

    One of my best friends just called me and his son's credit card has been hit for a Utah elk hunt. He put in for the Beaver late rifle elk hunt with only a handful of points. I've been keeping notes on this unit for several years for the early rifle hunt, but I know the late hunts can be a very...

    Credit Cards Charged for AZ Draw Soon

    Well the last day to update your credit card for the AZ elk and antelope draw is Thursday March 12 before 11:59 pm (MST). Typically AZ hits credit cards the day after the credit card update deadline, which makes sense, because they don't want to wait and have invalid cards for the draw. With...
