    Herter's bullets

    Has anybody used or anyone know much about Herter's bullets? I see them on Cabelas super cheap sometimes but am just wondering about the steel cases. Is it harmful to a rifle to use the steel cases? I don't care so much about the bullet itself, just if it is ok to shoot these bullets. Thanks.

    Dakota Mule Deer

    Here is my buck from ND 2 years ago. I didn't have a whole lot of time to hunt and so I was happy. Shot him on public land in one of the units where you don't need 27 points to draw. ND's non-resident tag allocation is terrible and I don't think it's right but I doubt that it will ever...

    New gear every year?

    So I was just reading Adam's article about new arrows in the latest magazine and have also seen a LOT of articles lately in other magazine about new gear that is coming out this year. It seems like some guys are out there buying a new bow setup every single year. Does anybody on here actually...

    NV MRS Mistake???

    Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Nevada have waiting periods after you draw a tag or are successful after a hunt? Assuming I'm reading the reg's correctly, I came up with the following: Sheep and mountain goat- You cannot apply for 10 years after drawing a tag. Elk- If...

    What the ^#&$ Wyoming?!?!?!?

    So here's an interesting one for anyone that is building points in Wyoming. http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2013/Introduced/HB0124.pdf Scroll down to the 4th page and read the writing in red. Apparently preference points would be able to be transferred to an immediate family member. What a joke...

    First Elk!

    Here is a picture of my first elk on my first elk hunt. Shot him down in New Mexico on the first afternoon of season and it was an awesome day. I had done a lot of practicing shooting my rifle out to longer distances and then ended up shooting him at no more than 50 yards in the aspens. I had...

    Kids

    So I've got a buddy who is extremely against having kids and while my wife and I definitely want them, it has made me wonder about them a bit more. He talks about how much less he would be able to hunt for the first few years which which he is probably right about, but I still think that having...

    Holy crap wyoming!!

    Anyone else see these new proposed license fees for Wyoming? Quite a few tags are going up between 30-50%. $1,330 for a special elk tag?!?!?! How bout the $7,290 for the grizzly tag... Is that in case they get de-listed???? Man that state is getting expensive...

    Make your own mounts

    This is my first attempt at mounting a pheasant. The tail feathers weren't worth a crap but other than that I was fairly happy for my first attempt. These are the 3 bucks that I horn-mounted from 2003 in North Dakota. I drew a muzzy and rifle tag that year and also had my OTC bow tag. It...

    NV restrictions on re-applying

    So I was just reading through the NV reg's and to me, it looks like if you draw and harvest a bull elk, you cannot apply for elk again for 10 years. Am I reading that right? Looks the same for sheep and mountain goats which I can understand but elk too?

    40mm or 50mm scope

    Hey everyone, looking for some help. Anyone have a preference for either 40 or 50mm scopes? Obviously a 50mm will be better for really low light but is it worth it? I am looking at a Leupold vx3 CDS. Does it make much of a difference trying to look through the scope since it sits up higher...

    AZ tag fees upfront?

    Anyone know if AZ changed their draw system this year so that you don't have to front the tag fees anymore? I read that from somewhere else but am not sure if it's true or not. The MRS this month didn't mention it all so either it isn't true or else Eastmans dropped the ball big time.

    ND ducks and geese

    Here are some pictures from waterfowl hunting this year. The hunting was tremendous in ND this year and I didn't have many chances to get out but when I did, I sure had some great success. The 2 pictures of snow geese were from 2 different hunts by myself. Ironically they were both on public...

    ND Mule Deer

    Well after striking out in Wyoming on mule deer, I redeemed myself in my home state of North Dakota. Shot him on public land. He's my biggest mule deer so far. Oh wait, he's my first mule deer ever!

    First trip out West

    Here are a few picture's from my first trip out West to Wyoming. It was a blast! Even got to meet a couple people from this forum which was awesome too. First we hunted antelope and then deer. I quickly learned that hunting deer in the Bighorn's is quite the challenge and didn't see anything...

    Off to Wyoming!

    Well my buddy and I just left North Dakota this morning for 9 days of hunting in Wyoming. We've each got 3 tags for deer and antelope so it should be a great time. Can't wait to get there!

    Bog Pod

    Any of you guys have the bog pod tripod? I know the Eastmans guys love them and am planning on getting one but figured I'd see if anyone else has one. My only concern is that they are kind of bulky and heavy. Probably wouldn't take it on a deep backcountry hunt...

    WY Draw Odds

    Alright, somebody explain to me the Wyoming draw odds spreadsheet's. When I look at the draw odds and regarding the number of preference points that people have, why is there a "<2", and then "1". For example, I picked a random unit, non-resident 39 elk type 1, regular priced license and the...
