I just watched the 2 episodes from this season of him hunting in New Zealand. That dude is the real deal. With the exception of Mike, Ike, and a few of the guys from "Western Hunter" most of these hunting personalities couldn't hack these high altitude hunts. The few that do try with a guide...

Went scouting this weekend and saw 12 bucks, 3 shooters. I wish I had an elk tag for the archery season, I saw 17 bulls and 2 were 7 X 7 and 6 X 8. Opening day can't get here soon enough. The range in the high country of Colorado is looking good this year! I am pleased with antler growth in the...

Has anyone hunted antelope on any of these properties? I have a doe tag for a fun hunt and was wondering if these ranches are worth it.

I tested 4 different loads in my 300 Win Mag today. I shot 5 rounds of each load. I let my rifle cool down and cleaned it between each load variation. I noticed my gun didn't group well until rounds 3-5 after it had some fouling and warmed up a bit. I am going to try a couple of other "recipes"...

I just read read Ryan Hatfield's 1 page editorial on how we represent our sport in the eyes of non hunters through social media in his magazine. It is a great read for everyone that hunts. He reminds us to keep a civil tone and argue with facts not emotion (kind of like our long range threads on...

I just finished reading Mike's book on elk hunting. I have now read all of the books he has written and I am impressed with how much knowledge he has stored away over the years. I also like his matter of fact writing style. I would recommend reading his books if you haven't yet. Even a seasoned...

The snow is finally melting fast in the high country. It is time to start backpacking and scouting for deer season. I am starting to think about hunting season nonstop.

Anyone else excited about baseball season this year? I am a braves fan and things look pretty good. I love watching baseball and use it as something to do during early summer while waiting for the snow to melt in the high country.

Thinking about putting in for an early rifle buck tag for this unit. Anyone hunted it during the early seasons? Wondering about buck numbers and size of bucks. I can handle the rough terrain. Just thinking about trying for a different hunt this year. Thanks in advance!

Well I waited 7 years and finally hunted 49. I shot my bull on Tuesday night. He was right at timberline with 6 cows. I am not sure the tag was worth 6 points but it is a good unit and I saw lots of elk. I didn't see the mature bulls I thought I would see. I saw them on previous scouting trips...

I was watching a video with Cameron Hanes stalking a mule deer. He gets within 9 yards of the buck and then throws a rock to get the deer to stand up.The buck stands and he nails him. I have tried that 3 different times within 30 yards and they have left their bed running every time. Anyone else...

Antelope backdoor is available. I only put in for a point but just an FYI.

Looking at applying for unit 9 as a second choice unit this year. I know it will be crowded and not many bruisers but just want to go hunting. I saw that the unit has a good amount of WIA. Any thoughts. I am saving points for 73 and I need one more point.

I am on Big Game Forever's E-mail list and I received an e-mail regarding the reintroduction of the Mexican Wolf into the SW United States. The documents presented are from the USFWS group called the Mexican Wolf Recovery Team.They are calling for 1000 wolves throughout parts of Mexico...

I just wanted to ask the members of this forum to go to biggameforever.org, they do not ask for donations. All they ask is that you sign petitions in support of wolf de-listing. Whether you live in wolf country or just go to hunt there it is important that we support state wildlife agencies in...

I was wondering if anyone has one. I am looking to buy a new smoke pole this year. This is the one I want to get but would like some info. Thanks in advance for your help.

I checked this evening and they have posted the deer results. Elk was posted a couple of days ago. Good luck to all who drew this year. I am the proud owner of a Unit 18 muzzleloader tag.

I am purchasing a new spotting scope due to the fact that my Nikon did a nose dive off of a ledge last season. I am looking at the Leupold gold ring HD spotting scope kit. It retails for around 1300.00, I have a buddy that owns an outdoor shop and I will get it for 700.00 out the door. I know...
