    Morning Access

    I'm going on my first rifle hunt for mule deer this year. I have hunted this same area previously during archery season. During archery we have had the place to ourselves so we didn't worry about getting to our glassing spots in the dark. With rifle season I'm expecting a lot more company...

    South Dakota NonRes Public Land Archery

    My group of 3 was not drawn. But I got a call last week from the SD GFP saying they had some licenses returned and asked if our group wanted them. We already had other plans and told them no. So I'm assuming they went to the next people on the list. I have no idea how they prioritize who gets...

    New FL Pattern?

    Makes sense that they would shift more attention to whitetail hunters. There are a lot more of them than western hunters.

    Cheap phone scoping setup?

    I made one using some SDR 35 pvc pipe and a coupler. Cut the pipe and heat it up in the oven and you can cut it and form it to whatever shape you need to make it fit your optics.

    Mule Deer Terrain

    Thanks for the tips. Last time we didn't have much trouble seeing deer when they were on their feet, but seeing where they bedded was a different story. There are so many nooks and crannies that are out of sight for them to hide. What would you do if there was a deer you are interested in...

    Mule Deer Terrain

    I'm going archery mule deer hunting in early November. This will be my second mule deer hunt. The first hunt was in 2019. We saw some deer and had a couple chances, but it was definitely a humbling experience. It was very different from the tree stand hunting for whitetails that I'm used to...

    What would you do? 2020-Specific situation

    Go to South Dakota. Maybe shorten up the SD trip by a few days and come back to Iowa for the 2nd half of the rut. November 10-15 was the best for me when I lived in Iowa. Plus you can archery hunt til the end of November with no gun pressure. Win-win situation if you ask me.
