Public land mixed species hunts can be done but it is difficult to find solid areas holding all three that have seasons open together and have tags that are easily obtained. I have combined antelope with deer on a few occasions - fun hunts. For elk, I usually focus 100% of my time on them. If...

I have some of our smaller ones from the early years hanging in the garage in a similar way. I have said for years I should make something out of them but I haven't had the right idea yet. Hoping this thread provides some good ideas!

Something that may be worth exploring., instead of paying the extra price for special, you may be able to pay a cheaper trespass fee on a ranch in an easy to draw area. I am aware of some landowners that have charged a lower fee for kids and some that allowed kids in free with a paying adult...

I actually had the same thought. I was surprised that a tree stand wasn't required to create downward shot angles. The OP has obviously proven to be a very accurate and responsible archer but I'm guessing all those participating aren't up to his abilities.

Every kid is definitely different. In a perfect world, where parents were involved and capable, it would be great to leave it to them to decide. Unfortunately that isn't the case. I think all of us have likely encountered adults who weren't capable of mentoring even the most ready child. I...

No experience with those listed. I have been using one of the 1HP Cabelas grinders for 8 years. We grind a lot of meat through this yearly and It works like the day I bought it. Can't imagine one working better?

I saw the same in New Mexico in the mid 90s as a guide. It wasn't uncommon for an individual or group spend a week at the lodge and never hunt. Those hunts were 6k+ back then...

If your looking cheap, Vortex diamondbacks are pretty dang good glass for the money. I have a pair that I used for 3 seasons and then found a deal on a pair of Vortex Viper. My son now uses the diamondbacks and I use the Vipers. They are both very clear but there is a small step up with the...

Sounds like we need to get a few guys together to chase turkeys with a bow... Any interest Fink?

Hi Steve. Are you wanting the hunt to be combined deer and antelope or are you looking for a hunt for each to make the most of those points? If you're looking for a combo, and don't care about price, Out West Safaris has some great deer and antelope on the same property. If you are going to...

You can come shoot 3 spring and 4 fall Easterns in Nebraska. Very liberal limits and fairly easy to get permission. Nebraska does have some mixing of the species and in reality the state holds 3 different species, Eastern, Merriams, and Rio. However, the eastern end of the state is primarily...

On heavy game I have as well. However on deer size game, I have yet to see a failure. Out of our youth 243 we are up to 13 deer and all have been very quick, ethical kills. I will say that none were marginal hits though. I work very hard with my boys on shot placement and I have them...

Great deer bowtech! Great frame on that buck.

My sons have both shot numerous deer with a .243. The right ammo makes a huge difference in this caliber imo. I had some bad luck in the early years with cheap ammo when my oldest first started hunting. We had several deer go a good distance from solid hits and had almost no blood trail on...

Here is my 10 year old son's first buck taken this past weekend. He was one happy boy! He also filled a couple of antlerless tags on this hunt. 3 shots, 3 deer... better than I did on my first rifle hunt for sure. Furthest shot was 210 yards. Proud dad!

That wouldn't qualify in Colorado on the cow tag. antlers have to be less than 5". "BULL (ANTLERED): A male animal with antlers at least 5 inches long. ▶ COW (ANTLERLESS): A female with no antlers. “Antlerless” also means a young male with antlers less than 5 inches long.

The 3 area 38 cow moose were drawn with 16, 14, and 6 preference points. There has been a jump in applicants for these tags over the last couple of years as I believe people are deciding to jump out of the PP pool due to price increases. However, the guys with 16 and 14 points likely had...

Tough news to get... I'm on my 4th hunting/family dog. I have had one around my whole life. It sure hurts to lose them but they are so worth having.

There is a reason those particular tags are readily available - others find them difficult to fill as well. As mentioned above, try applying for the standard area type 6 tags that allow you to hunt the entire area. The draw odds are much lower for those but at least when you draw it won't be...
