    What kind of engine is this?

    I am not a "car" guy, but I bought a 1972 Toyota Landcruiser a couple years ago to fix up with my son. The guy gave us this engine separately, and I assume he wanted to put it in the Landcruiser. I want to sell this engine on Craigslist, but I don't know what it is. Can anyone tell me, and...

    Montana Archery Elk

    I do 95% my hunting with quality limited entry tag. I have devoted most of my hunting research to these limited entry hunts, and with the point systems, I have a pretty good idea when we will draw the tags we are applying for. For the years that we won't likely draw one of the tags we have...

    Early Tag Draw Notification

    I thought I would throw out a tip that I am really looking forward to using to this year. In certain states, one of the earliest ways you find out you drew a tag, is that your credit card gets charged for the tag soon after the drawing. I know a lot of you guys watch your credit card to see if...

    WY Unit 58 elk with max points

    I have max points in Wyoming for elk. I am looking at possibly applying in Unit 58. I understand there is good access during the rifle hunt, do to the Access YES program. Does anyone know if you can get good access during the archery hunt in September in Unit 58?

    Wyoming elk hunt for my wife?

    Personally, I'm positioned to enjoy some "top tier" hunts over the next several years that have taken 12 to 20 points to draw. In 2010 I married a wonderful gal and she loves to hunt. She got a bow that first summer, and did some rifle hunting that first fall. In 2010, she took a cow elk, 14"...

    Unit 201 archery elk or Unit 61 muzzleloader elk

    Next year I will have 20 points for elk in Colorado. I could draw a Unit 61 muzzleloader elk tag next year (2012), but the muzzleloader season will be September 8-16, and that is the earliest it has been since 2007. On the other hand I have a 1 in 3 chance at a Unit 201 archery tag. What are...

    CO Unit 55 3rd Season Deer

    I have a Colorado Unit 55 3rd season deer tag this year. I have hunted it before and have helped others in that unit as well. I am interested in trying this year up around Almont. If anyone has some info they'd be willing to share, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    San Juan or Beaver For Elk?

    I know that the San Juan is the best of the best for elk in Utah, but here's my predicament (if you can call it that). I am at the top of the non-resident point heap in Utah for elk, and its taken a very very long time to get there. I would likely draw the early rifle Beaver tag this next year...

    Unit 1 or Unit 3C for Archery Elk?

    As a non-resident I have 13 bonus points for elk in Arizona going into the 2012 draw. I want to draw next year on the early archery elk hunt in Unit 1 or Unit 3C. My wife is new to hunting and really wants to go with me on the hunt and be in the middle of the elk rut frenzy for the first time...

    Any Results from the Arizona Archery Elk Season?

    Just wondering if any one has heard results from the archery elk season in Arizona. I have 13 points and I am thinking of using them in Unit 1 or possibly Unit 3A/3C. I am wondering how the Wallow fire has affected the hunt on Unit 1 this year. I might hold off for another couple years for...

    What are the best AZ trophy antelope units?

    I have bought bonus points for many years, and am now in the position I can draw any AZ antelope tag with points. This is likely the only time this will happen in my lifetime (although maybe again in my 70s...lol). I know Unit 10 is always at or near the top. Would anyone have any other...

    What Is The Best In-Line Open Ignition 50 Cal Muzzleloader?

    In Oregon, we are required to use an open ignition muzzleloader, and cannot use 209 primers or musket caps. What open ignition muzzleloader would you recommend that used #11 caps? I see Knight is again manufacturing the Bighorn, which looks like a good option. I am most interested in a 50...

    Favorite open site

    In Oregon, where I live, and in several other states, you can only hunt with open sites on a muzzleloader. I've worked with fiber optics and with peep sites. Does anyone have any good info on the very best open sites for a muzzleloader?

    2011 Colorado Elk draw results are on the web

    The good news is I just checked the draw results for elk in Colorado and they are posted on the CDOW website. The bad news is I still did not draw with 19 points. I thought I had a tag clinched. Well maybe next year.
