    CO mule deer options.

    Hey guys, I am looking ahead to 2016 for a CO mule deer hunt. I will have 3 NR preference points at that time and I am looking for a 3rd or 4th season rifle unit. I have a friend who lives in unit 18 and he suggested 18/28/37/371, which I should be able to draw a 4th season tag in. I have...

    Cross-State MRS, part I. Thank you Dave Hoshour!

    I have been working through all the information in the cross-state MRS in EHJ October/November and all I have to say is THANK YOU DAVE HOSHOUR! What a great collection of information, especially the attention to odds of taking a B&C animal and tags given out per state. I have read through all...

    Hey everybody. My name is Tad and I'm from Minnesota. I finally took the time to register officially for the Eastman's forum, even though I have been a subscriber to EHJ and EBJ for years. Although I like to hunt whitetails (bow and gun), western hunting is my true passion. EHJ and EBJ have...
