    Friendly Hunting Competition???

    I don't think it's a good idea. I know a lot of those whitetail programs are doing it but that doesn't make it right in my book. Kind of like Pete Rose betting on baseball... LOL. I usually hunt with 4 or 5 other guys and we started out, years ago, putting $5 in a pot and the guy with the...

    NV 101-109

    If you find roads that cross private property they will most likely be blocked off. Access can be a problem.

    What would be your dream hunt?

    I'm with CC. Antelope Island or even the Henries. I've always been a mule deer hunter at heart. A big buck still gets my blood pumping! When I was younger, I'd dreamed of hunting Stone sheep in Canada. That would be my 2nd choice. Something about sheep hunting... I could get hooked !

    Post Your Favorite Hunting Picture!

    This was one of the best hunts that I've ever been on. We had a big family/friends camp set up in our favorite campsite. I think there were 17 of us and several big bucks were taken. This was my 200 inch 5X6. I had to leave him overnight and just hung him in this tree. The last night in camp...

    High Country Muleys 2020 who's in?

    " I hunted the high country in unit 44 for muzzle loader in 2018 and saw very few bucks, they were all down lower in the trees. But I also saw very few bucks that whole season, I actually saw more bears than I did bucks. I should draw that 44 muzzle loader tag again this year and hope that...

    Home From Wyoming Antelope & Deer Hunt

    No I don't. My tag is for #34. I did not make it though. My truck broke down in Ely,Nv. and I spent 5 days there and $1200 in repairs and towing. Pretty much all my trip allowance. Wife was not feeling well, so just came home... now if I just had another 10 years to draw again...

    GETTIN OLD.......

    CC , I feel your pain. I'm only 69 and after a major back surgery two years ago I just can't seem to bounce back. My legs get jittery when I start up a steep hill and just don't have the stamina anymore. Guess our parts are just wearing out. I'll be hunting the Wyoming sage country this fall for...

    Corrosive Accubond Tips

    I started going through some of my reloads to see if I had enough for this hunting season and found these 30 cal. Accubonds with some of the tips gone or partly gone. These were reloads from 2015 and were stored in the house at room temperature. I sure did not expect to see this corrosion going...

    Nice Montana Bull

    While on vacation, I found this bull standing out in the middle of this creek. I'm not sure what he was eating but other elk were doing the same thing. These photos were taken on 8/17 and he was already hard horned.

    Moose's California Bighorn

    I did not want to hi-jack another thread so I'll post my story here. I drew a California Bighorn tag in 98 for 032. I had no idea about judging rams so I after I took the NDOW sheep class I went to several taxidermists and checked out all their clients rams so I would have a clue. I can tell you...

    Nice Buck While Scouting Last August

    We watched this buck most of the summer and of course he was no where to be found during the season. These photos were taken August 4th and he may have gotten a little bigger by the Fall. I took these photos by just holding my camera up to my spotting scope. I thought what the heck? I'll give a...

    Big Buck from the 50's

    How's this for a California buck? He is a 32 inch 4X5 that was killed near Bishop back in the 50's. He has a short left main beam but still a "shooter"! The antlers have been hanging in a barn in the Sierra Valley for many years and recently were given to a friend of mine. I'm puting them on a...

    Photos of a Couple Blacktail Bucks...in the Rut

    The rut is on out here for our Blacktail/Muley cross bucks and I was able to photograph a couple nice bucks. I've seen both these guys before and could not get them on camera or just got parting shots as they were very spooky. With the onset of the rut, they've thrown caution to the wind and...
