    Wy 110

    If anyone has any knowledge they would be willing to share about 110 or 88 I would really appreciate a pm. I am taking a friend from work on his first out of state hunt and his first buck antelope hunt. These two units are new to me, but look intriguing. We have an average of 3.5 points, but we...

    Let's see something old

    This is a pic of my Dad shortly after he followed my Mom and her family to OR. He was from OK, but had met my Mom in AZ while working loading train cars and trucks with produce (mostly lettuce) as a migrant worker. This photo was taken in the 50's at the home property we still own in OR. Dad and...

    Let's see your mushroom!

    Here's the Barnes bullet that I used on my UT muzzle loader elk hunt. Went through the ribs and high on the off-side shoulder. Found it against the skin on the off-side. Bull dropped where he stood.

    Idaho was good to me again!

    I just returned from my Idaho deer hunt. I had another great solo adventure. I wasn't able to break free until the second week of season, but didn't really mind since for me it always seems that Nov.10-20 is the magic time for the mule deer rut, most places I hunt out west. I explored a lot of...

    Here's a few from my first Coues hunt. Not the biggest buck, but for a DIY solo hunt I was pretty happy!

    Animals in Packs!

    My daughter wanted to get a bear this year. She's taken a lot of deer, but although I get a bear almost every year, for some reason they have avoided us when she is able to be with me. This year we planned to get it done and on only the 3rd outing she connected on a nice young boar. We were...

    ID Unit 22 Deer

    I got a nice surprise and drew a unit 22 late deer tag in ID. It seems like a great tag with good success rates. I haven't found much information on this hunt though. It's still early and I haven't contacted very many resources, but thought I might run it by the folks on EF and see if anyone has...

    Hooked

    I made the long road trip to AZ for the second time in a few months. I was fortunate enough to be successful on another first for me. This time it was Javelina. I went to AZ expecting another solo experience, but between the guys that shared knowledge of the area over the phone/web and the great...

    What knives or other tools do you use on moose in the field?

    mcseal2,Probably already covered, but on some hunts like the Koyukuk hunt I went on; you are required to take the ribs w/bone in. We cut the ribs right at the back bone. It made it reasonable to handle. As far as tools, we just used the regular knives I always use. At the time that was a Schrade...

    AZ Coues Success

    I was able to make the long road trip(23 hrs.)from OR to AZ for my first ever Coues hunt. Until I reached my hunting unit I had never even seen a Coues deer. The fact that I had never set foot in the unit and this would be a solo hunt made for a little bit of nervousness. But still, I was like a...

    Blacktail Success

    I was fortunate to find this guy, tucked away in the midst of the opening morning crowd of hunters. Kind of unusual for me as I usually don't tag out until the pressure drops off a bit.

    Freeze dried meals

    We eat oatmeal every morning for breakfast on our pack in trips to AK. Super easy, quick, light and compact. Pick a few berries and mix in and it's even better!

    ***2015 Best Elk DIY Public lands hunt / Elk harvest write up posting thread ***

    UT MZ BULL I finally drew a MZ elk tag in UT this year. After the 14 year wait, I have to say I was a little surprised and almost unprepared for the successful notice. I’ve hunted deer and antelope many times, as well as multiple species in AK, but as far as elk are concerned I was a true...

    The rack is one of those that is hard to see everything at once. Here's one looking down on the rack.
