    NM Archery Elk Advice Needed

    Find water, call, scout, glass, hopefully you will kill one. I don't know why people ask for elk how to, when every hunt is different.

    White Sands Missile Range Oryx 101

    Yes shooting sticks you can stand behind and bring a ladder to glass from. WSMR is mostly covered in chapparral brush 5-12 feet tall. Maybe not so much Rhodes, but it depends on where they let you go. I worked on WSMR for 5 years on the range, left last year. I have never drawn a tag, but...

    Binoculars with blackouts or kidney beaning?

    I think the term in the optics industry is vignetting. I don't know why, but they all seem to call it that. Here are the recommended near sighted must wear glasses from my own experience. Swarovski EL's 10x50, 8.5 as well both are immersive. Swarovski EL Range 8x42 I have the tracking...

    Binoculars with blackouts or kidney beaning?

    What you are talking about is the eye relief. If you are near sighted and wear glasses you need around 19-23mm of actual eye relief. Measured between your eye ball and the lens of the binos.

    White Sands Missile Range Oryx 101

    Congrats on drawing an Oryx tag on WSMR. There are some things you need to know about the base. 1. They will only let you hunt, where they will let you hunt. Missile or weapons testing will change the locations that are open on a day to day basis. 2. The installation wants you to be...

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    I am a safety bureaucrat for a government agency, I have worked for a variety of agencies. Whatever you do or don't do, most laws like this are written in blood. Truckers have to take breaks during their driving and they are limited to so many hours a day of driving. I think it is 12 or 14...

    Utah 2024 Draw Thread

    I put all the draws on my calendar, and I am on the rocks on Utah. I have 5-7 points for all species and I am a rifle hunter. Money isn't really a big deal. I don't live in America and I am 4-7 years from wanting to hunt Utah, when I get back to the states full time. I am not a resident...

    Hunting the Haul Road

    They usually cast their antlers mid-late October, but this can be after Christmas just depends on the deer. They taste like crap during the rut. Worse than any other deer, though I have had some rutty moose that were bad too. That's most of September and October. I used to hunt out of...

    What do yall do for side income?

    It is a nice idea, but not realistic. We live in a world where a $400,000 house is a normal house, and $30,000 gently used trucks with 100,000 miles on them are normal. Make as much money as you can but don't spend it.

    Bighorn Sheep Tag Process

    I am of the theory that a lot of people think there is some kind of secret to getting an $8000 sheep hunt. Those days died out in 2000 when $8000 dall sheep hunts were still a thing. There used to be $4000 Dall and Blue sheep hunts in 1993. At least you have taken a dall. That's an...

    I have windstopper shell, a goretex shell and a soft shell and a synthetic puffy and a down puffy and a mountain of variety of fleece. I don't have a solid answer for you as it really depends on how much weather and the temp. I also regularly wear a wool sweater under other things on top of...
