By October 1 all the bigger bucks will be in the deep canyons hiding from everyone. The archery hunt will be done, the muzzle loader will be going on. Not to mention the early hunts for limited entry elk. So there will be enough people out in the hills that there will be very few bucks...

What do you consider a good bull? In my opinion it has a lot of 350" bulls but very few over that. I had a ML tag down there in 2014 and took a real old 5x6. We did see quite a few bulls but getting close was another matter. You are just going to have to scout the dickens out of it. We...

Just a heads up to verify your hunt number on your fall hunting applications. I just applied for my fall deer hunt and saw where the hunt numbers have changed from what they were last year.

It is very hard to judge from pictures not to mention out in the field if you haven't looked at and seen hundreds of animals and were able to measure quite a few. Here is a picture of a bull that went 394" and by just looking at the picture you would never know it.

After seeing prhunter's post on his javelina I remembered that I hadn't posted about mine. This was our 24 year leaving Colorado to go to Arizona for the HAM season. It started out as a way just to get warm but for 2 of us it turned into a annual event. The hunt was hot and I mean hot the...

I had a unit 61 muzzle loader tag back in 2014 and found that the elk in that unit like to hang out down in the deeper canyons so odds are all your packing will be uphill to get the meat out. Pressure wise it wasn't bad. I did see a few other hunters but not what you would say was a lot of...

Utah DOW has closed 11 counties to shed hunting until April 1. Now if they can only enforce it. https://wildlife.utah.gov/wildlife-news/1988-shed-antler-gathering-closed-in-11-counties.html

For ticks and other no-see-ums get some Permethrin and spray it on your clothing and let it dry. I used it over in Africa and didn't have anything crawling on me while another hunter who didn't had small ticks all over his body. You'll need some other bug spray with Deet for the skeeters but...

Well the time might be coming for me to pick up a new or slightly used ATV for my adventures. Currently I am riding a 2000 Yamaha Kodiak 400 but it has a slight problem. A cracked compression ring from what I can tell and there is no one within 100 miles that will do a rebuild for me. So I...

Any unit in the state can give you a 190" buck and any of them can disappoint you when you hunt them. To get caught up in the point game and then asking questions about units to hunt in my opinion is not the way to go. You need to spend time in the unit that you want to hunt to know if it is...

Well, I wished that I could tell all of you that I bagged a booner but my shot did not go true and hit it's mark and my other stalk was blown by some ATV riders. But I had a fantastic time chasing these little gray deer of the south. My first stalk was for over a mile while the buck was on...

And last but not least

I have finally come full circle, and all of my mounts are now home. My biggest problem was trying to find a wall to hang them all on but I think that they will do quite well where I have them. So far I have moved all of them around to different spots trying to figure out the best area for them...

Of all the rifles that I have in my safe the one that would be my go to rifle no matter what would be my .340 Weatherby. I know that it would be overkill on most animals but it works from jackrabbits on up. Just as a example here is a picture of my springbuck that I shot at 429 yards with...

If this gentleman continues to hang out where he is now for the next 2 1/2 weeks he should make it out of the hunting seasons. He is on a section of private property within town limits. But even if he heads back to the hills behind him he should be safe unless someone comes up with permission...

If you have been procrastinating for a while and pondering on if you want to buy your preference points the time is very near to get it done. The 10/31 isn't that far away. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/apply-or-buy

Well folks I am off to the high country of Utah for a spike elk hunt a little bit of fishing and then the Utah general deer season. Once I am out the door I'll be gone for close to 3 weeks, away from the internet, cell phones, TV, and the general public except for a couple of trips back to...

The dove hunt is fast approaching and it is now time to renew your HIP number if you haven't already done it. Here are a few links that I went to do do mine. Utah Colorado Nebraska Wyoming

Welcome to the site, hunting in the desert is a fun thing to do. I actually took up hunting javelina in Arizona 23 or so years ago to get out of the cold of Colorado only to have the snow follow me every couple of years.
