    Best States?

    Moving to Alaska is not out of the question and I could see this happening in the future for Dall, Mountain Goat, and Bear. My best friend'ss brother lives in Alaska and I'll end up hunting Yukon Moose there with my best friend and his brother. But, I'm in the wildlife field soooo money is slim...

    "No, DO NOT sell me a preference point if I am unsuccessful in the draw." You DO NOT have to purchase a PP for either if you don't opt to. Just the non-refundable application fee of $15. My math is correct if I choose not to get the PP.

    Best States?

    That's why I'm asking for draw advice, not financial advice. I'm one of the lucky few with zero debt and a little bit tucked away in savings/investments. That's how am able to hunt Roosevelt in Oregon and Sitka Blacktail in Alaska (DIY) next year and Greenland Musk Ox/Caribou in the fall of...

    Best States?

    Mexico is $35,000-45,000 right now, not $90,000. They're $60,000 in Texas and they advertise for $90,000, but, you can talk them down. BC's Canada Shira's is $8,000-11,000 now with combo hunts being offered because most places can get you a Mule Deer, not a Moose. For $35,000 I'd rather do a...

    Here's the deal, I'm 24 right now and I'm wanting to complete my Grand Slam by age 50. I have 7 out of 29 as of right now and have done all of the hunts DIY (Rocky Mountain Elk, Coues Deer, Columbian Blacktail Deer, Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Pronghorn, and Black Bear). I'm trying to figure out...

    My truck broke down and I was able to kill a deer because of it. Craziness!

    A plane, rent the vehicle split it and gas. “Best guess is the hunt split between two people will cost $1,200 each (not including elk tag if purchased) plus a $200 flight.”

    17.5 Hour drive straight through! I’ve been hunting all day and walking tons of miles and even getting the relaxing treatment of sitting in a blind. Ended up seeing loads of deer (all does, lots within bow range), even got to see a monster buck tonight driving after I shot a great big ol’ bear...

    Update: I’m heading back out right now for a few days to try to get a buck. I have a break between 2nd and 3rd rifle (guiding elk/deer) in Colorado to spend a few days hunting. It’s a long drive out there, but, I’m hoping the 4 more days will be worth it.

    Thank you! I’m sure we’ll be chasing elk at some point next year in OR.

    Because I won’t share content on a forum that doesn’t approve of my video content due to “self promotion” but will share it on their Facebook page for self promotion to get more follows.

    Update: Cackler and I ended up hunting the entire time. Unfortunately Cackler never did see a legal deer on public land but we saw hundreds of elk in the Tioga (more than I’ve seen guiding in Colorado all season) and lots of legal 3pt+ bulls. We might not have found a Blacktail, but, we found...

    Goals For 2020 Hunting Season?

    Overall goals? Have fun and introduce new people to the sport. I have a bunch of people coming to hunt with me this fall and I'll be guiding too. I have lots of tags in my pocket and that'll get me out there to start. I'm hoping to get my first Blacktail and first Coues Deer this fall along...

    I’ll bet cacklercrazy will share some great pictures. Unfortunately, I won’t be sharing any content on Eastmans. But, watch out for more of these invites. I’m sure I’ll keep sharing them on Eastman’s since it seems to be the best forum for hardcore hunters.

    Always a blast bringing others hunting. Looks like Cacklercrazy and I will more than likely be chasing Blacktail this fall together. Ready to get after it!

    Post Your Favorite Hunting Picture!

    Southwest Iowa Antlerless Rifle Season with my Dad. My first deer ever with a .243 and my first deer. It was -30 with windchill that afternoon and I ended up with frostbite. Can't believe my Dad was able to wear what he was wearing that day.

    I've posted this on other forums, but, I've always had luck posting stuff on here. I didn't mention on the other forums that my buddy has a boat and if we tag out early we can go offshore and catch some fish too. Hey everybody, I'm trying to get back out to Oregon again and I'll end up out...
