If I kill an elk early in Colorado, I'd like to head down and scout the San Juan unit in Utah for elk. In that scenario, it would probably be best if I dropped the meat off for processing near Monticello, Moab or Blanding. Does anyone know of a good meat processor in that area.

After with messing with a piece of junk Bushnell window mount for way too many years, I thought there had to be a better way. I finally paired up a Manfrotto 3292 window clamp, with a Manfrotto 3130 pan head and got a super smooth rugged window mount. If I remember correctly, they just screwed...

For my Colorado elk hunt (only 30 days away!!) I think I will be packing my meat boned out. I plan on using TAGs BOMB (boned out meat) bags. I want to do a European mount, so I would skin the skull out, and remove the lower jaw, leaving the cape behind. I would bone out the shoulders and...

Is the all copper Barnes X type Thor Bullet now legal for Oregon muzzleloader seasons? The Thor bullets are the rage in Colorado, where full bore conicals are also required (sabots are not allowed in CO). The Thor bullet has been reported as being excellent performers on elk. This year the...

I just posted this on another forum, and though it might be helpful to you all. There are basically two types of vacuum sealers, here is a good video that compares the features: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oCZbh77Q0g EXTERNAL VACUUM TYPE: Examples are the Food Saver, Weston, etc. This...

I have heard that you can bypass the guide/outfitter requirement for sheep, grizzly and mountain goat when hunting with a family member in Alaska. Does anyone know how close the family member must be? I have a second cousin who is an Alaskan resident.

The credit card hits have started in Arizona for deer. No reports of sheep hits yet. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/50186-card-hit/

My wife and 3 youngest kids and I are just completing our Lake Powell trip. Headed north from Vegas to Reno, the truck started showing signs of running poorly, it was surging occasionally. In Tonopah, I checked the transmission fluid, thinking something was slipping, but thing looked fine. It...

My wife drew a tag for the Pole Creek Muzzleloader elk hunt in the random draw (about 5% odds). She is my tag drawing machine. We are hoping she will get her first bull. :) This will be a low pressure elk hunt with only a handful of tags. It is valid for all public land in the Heppner unit...

If you are like me, I like to get my meat processed on out of state hunts then carry it home with dry ice. Finding dry ice can sometimes be a problem though. We are on a fishing trip and needed dry ice to keep the Snake River catfish fillets frozen while moving to Lake Powell for stripers. I...

For summer break I am taking my kids to Lake Powell for Striper fishing in mid/late June. We will be camping at Wahweap and running up the lake each morning. I fished it a couple years ago in April and I had one of my best days ever fishing (35 stripers and a walleye on my own). I was fishing...

Successful in the draw!! I started applying in my mid twenties and turn 50 this year. I drew a 201 archery tag a few years back and turned it back in due to other commitments. This year, after considering the following I decided it was time for a fun rut elk hunt: 1) There were over 400...

It appears that the preference points for elk are now officially updated. Mine are at "0" :) : http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/DrawResults_PreferencePoints.aspx

I was cleaning out my sent messages and ran across an old PM I sent. I thought it would be helpful to have a thread for us to share advice on how to hunt antelope. Here are a few things I listed: 1. Plan to glass with the sun at your back, in the mornings and evenings. Antelope stand out like...

Unit 61 muzzleloader elk…it is nearly official! Here is the link to look up your results. Look for the 500 series entry that does not say "app": https://www.co.wildlifelicense.com/start.php

Go in through source code and you can see your 2014 deer points.

When is Arizona opening up online applications? The website says "Arizona Hunting Regulations 2014-15 are Available Online Paper applications for fall hunt draw now being accepted; Online applications available early to mid-May" It seems like May 20 could qualify as "Late May".

I figured this was the only way to beat Musket Man to the punch. I turn 75 that year, so I figure it will be about the last year I'll apply ;)

I just checked my points in Colorado, and my points have been updated for Mountain Goat and Sheep, no tag for me. Moose has not been updated yet. Here is the link: http://cpw.state.co.us/thingstodo/Pages/DrawResults_PreferencePoints.aspx
