I drew a general combo tag for MT. This will be my second bull tag, struck out in Colorado OTC archery 4 years ago. Was able to get a cow last year in Wyoming for my first elk. I have some areas narrowed down in SW Montana, grizzly country. I rented a cabin in Island Park, ID the third week of...

Son's first buck My oldest was able to take his first buck today. He had his two brothers with him to help out. This was the first buck to stay put for him to get a shot. Bucks are rutting pretty hard just dogging does non stop here. He was able to recover the bullet so will post a pic of that...

I spent 5 days last week hunting this unit. I stayed in the Shirley mountains and hunted in that area. Did not get a shot off, my hunting partner did yet did not harvest one. We were in elk every day, but most was on private land. There were quite a few hunters, more than what I imagined. I did...

Picked up a leftover tag in the 2nd draw. A friend has some land that is north east of Hulett that I can hunt white tails on. I see there is blm and state land all over from the Montana border down to Newcastle that I can hunt in units 1-6. I have all of November off for rifle hunting. I will be...

The South Dakota Spring season came to a close this past weekend. My family had 6 tags for the Hills and prairie. We were able to fill 5 of them, my second hills tag I actually never got a real chance to hunt due to work and finishing school. Helping my son and daughter to their first turkeys...

Yesterday I was able to take my daughter out after her first turkey. The birds here in SD are still grouped up so we did very little calling just to locate then set up an ambush. They love to travel up and down the creek beds on the prairie between strutting areas, feeding and roosting. Once we...

We are looking at putting in for New Mexico this year for a southern hunt in the fall. Draw odds look to be 5-13% depending on the unit and type of weapon. I am not able to find a way to do a group hunt. Does anyone know the trick or where it is that you get this done? I am going to call them on...

My 13 year old son had drawn a late season cow tag for our South Dakota Black Hills. The unit he drew the tag for is where I like to archery hunt mule deer and rifle hunt whitetails. I checked my cameras after Thanksgiving to find no elk in the area for the previous two weeks. This is not...

Ok guys i'm starting to plan out my elk hunt for next year. I am going to study the mrs and tags for Wyoming first and apply there with my 4 points, my back ups are Colorado for muzzleloader with 4 points, then Colorado for OTC archery or possibly Montana. With my work schedule I have to pick...

My boy worked hard to figure out his rifle, scope and round that he wanted to be able to use for a variety of game here in South Dakota. He ended up buying a Tikka T3 lite in .308, vortex viper pst 6-24 ffp scope and Hornady 165 grain sst. The last couple days we have gone out to a new field to...

The work on the water hole is starting to pay off. I have friends with rifle tags for elk and whitetails in the hills. I have my archery tag that I hope to put on a mule deer, unless the split g2 buck above shows up, would be hard to pass on him. Need to start getting out and scouting more for...

The last few years I've noticed some in the area I hunt that are no longer working. Today I came across some water barrels in good shape on Craigslist. 3 hours later and I have 165 gallons of water in my truck ready to go on a little adventure tomorrow. I already had the day set aside for...

Spent the last weekend out trying to fill my sons last turkey tag. We noticed that areas where we were seeing 50-200 deer a day, all of a sudden vanished. We only saw a handful of smaller bucks. That got us thinking most does are dropping fawns. Doing some research we figured average of 200 day...

I drew a special turkey tag for a state park here in South Dakota. It takes about 5 years preference to draw. I had been in the park once so far this year, the day had snow, rain and sleet with no results. Yesterday the weather started to warm up and we noticed the birds were out strutting in...

Two co-workers and I went out this morning to the Black Hills of South Dakota. We had a good idea where the birds normally go once they get off the roost. We were able to call them in from about 150 yards away using my avian x jake and hen decoys. Three toms came right in to the decoys. When the...

Yesterday was the season opener. The first picture is from Thursday the 31st of March when I went to check on the set up. I have been able to hunt a small farm outside of Rapid City, SD the last few years that sits on the creek. The birds roost in the cottonwoods up and down the creek. The...

Looking at going out to Iowa from South Dakota during November of 2016. I will have two years preference. I am thinking about zone 4, specificlly the Ringgold Wildlife Area that borders Missouri. I plan on taking a trip there during the summer to scout and set up cameras. Any help is greatly...

Drew a paddlefish tag this year for the Missouri River. The fish swim upstream to Gavins Point Dam to spawn. I had a 6 hour drive from my home in Rapid City to Yankton. I set up camp on the lake, then drove the half mile to the spot to fish. I was just going to watch the people at first to get...
