    Eastern MT??? Thoughts?

    I had the privilege of hunting eastern Montana as a kid every year from 2003 to 2016. It was something special from 2003 until 2009. Wish I knew what I was experiencing while we had it. There were days - when we had perfect conditions - where we’d see 300 deer. Saw one herd of mulies that...

    Idaho OTC tag purchase experience

    Wow. Incredible how things have changed so quickly. In 2016 I picked up an Idaho general tag at a grocery store middle of October and went hunting… and actually saw bucks. Handfuls of bucks each day. Can’t believe how far it’s fallen and how much the demand keeps turning up.

    Idaho OTC tag purchase experience

    I passed on the general this year. A few days ago I ran around in one of the units mentioned here. There was cold and some snow. Spent a day down low and turned up a couple handfuls of does and a spike x 2. I’de rather eat a tag somewhere else than be stuck in one unit looking for a mature buck...

    What’s your state do well?

    I like Utah’s stance on lions. It’ll pay off. Every state should be the same.

    Proposed Deer plan for Central Idaho(not official)

    I hunt Idaho and Colorado regularly. I run into a Colorado game warden Atleast once per hunt season. It’s not unusual to be checked 2-3 times a year if I have multiple tags. I’ve had 10 Idaho tags since 2012. I’ve yet to even see a game warden or their truck. Do they exist? I’m sure more...

    Wyoming Region W Deer Herd Health

    Big Mature bucks will be few. Some sexually “mature” 3.5 year old bucks will be around. Only last year was this area starting to show signs (in terms of older bucks) of recovery from the winter of 18-19. 18-19 wasnt even close to the scope of the 22-23 die off. Over the years there’s been a...

    Adams County, ID

    Hey guys, I got lucky in the draw this year and drew a late season mule deer hunt in one of the units that falls within Adams Co. Don’t want to put the unit number for the entire www to see, so I’m asking for a bit of help through PM. If you have any knowledge in this part of the state, Ide...

    Non Migratory Bucks?

    Not foolish at all to check back in there. It actually sounds like a damn good spot to spend some time in. Just because the CPW doesn’t show a migration route through there doesn’t mean a big old buck doesn’t pass through there in route to the winter range. Not all deer will take the traditional...

    Mule deer On Alfalfa

    Region X didn’t exist yet in 2014. I think 2015 was the first year it was considered X. Top gun died a couple years ago.

    Sending to the dumpster

    I haven’t hunted it because I haven’t been able to draw it. But if it were my tag Ide hunt it as early as possible and try and jump shoot one out of his hole before they get shot by some rando out of a truck later in the season. 3rd week of November should be busy.

    Are the books worth it?

    What are the cost of the books, 20-30 bucks? Decades of deer hunting experience all right there prepared for you for dirt cheap. One scouting trip will cost you more in gas alone.
