    For those using Go Hunt for making draw decisions..

    Are talking the highest success of drawing the unit or actually taking a deer?

    Shooting prone

    I've taken 8 or so antelope with a rifle, all have been shot sitting at less than 200 yards. The area I hunt has a lot of terrain so it is great for that style. I could see if you are hunting very flat terrain with short vegetation where shooting prone would be necessary. Maybe take this into...

    North Dakota or South Dakota Archery?

    Both places are pretty much the same. If your not looking for a giant you'll have a fun hunt and get in a few stalks. Don't overlook "small" public areas. And as others have said, you can truck camp and walk into every place you'll hunt without a problem, no need to tent back in the country

    South Dakota Pheasant Hunt

    Mid/late December would be better than thanksgiving in my opinion. Rifle deer season will be over and you will have substantially better luck getting permission to hunt private land

    FCS Playoffs

    Well Albany beat Idaho the week before, same Idaho team that beat Mt St and lost by 2 to the griz. So to say they wouldn’t be within 14 of either of those teams seems like a stretch

    FCS Playoffs

    SDSU didn’t play sharp against the Bobcats early in the season. Just like the griz weren’t good against NAU early in the season. If sdsu plays as good as they did against Albany it will be a 21+ point win. Only way Montana keeps it close is if the rabbits have an off game

    First Time Mule Deer Hunt - DIY West River South Dakota

    E-scouting is a good tool but won't show you what the activity on the land was this past year cattle wise. You can find some good areas and you can find areas that would have potential but if cattle were in there all summer there won't be much cover left for deer. Western SD did have a very good...

    Hunting Bad Wind

    Any reason you have to be in the stand? Could you hunt from the ground to get the wind in your favor? I hunt from the ground a ton without using a blind just whatever natural cover is available, works great and you can be very mobile in your locations

    Groundblind vs ladder stand

    Stand or ground hunting without a blind when I'm by myself. When the 5 or 3 year old come with a ground blind is really the only option

    To scout or Not to Scout. That is the question. Lope's

    I don’t hear people ever say they wish they hadn’t scouted but if you can spend an extra day hunting instead of scouting I would do that

    Genetic change in Bucks

    I don't think the genetics change, but the amount of certain genetics in a deer herd can change. If everyone shoots 4 point+ deer and passes on 2-3 pointers then the 2-3 pointers become more numerous and therefore pass on more of their genetics. The podcast that rokslide did about antler point...

    Antelope Archery Tactics

    If the antelope are on to you anything over 50 yards is a guess. They can jump the string so fast if they are locked in. If they aren't on to you then feel free sending it as far as you can ethically shoot

    Forward shot on a mule deer

    Sounds like a non lethal hit to me

    Will he be back

    I’ve seen many deer go back to specific areas on specific dates year after year. So yes I would be in that same area on the same general dates as you saw him last year. There was a reason he was there in the first place, there’s a reason for him to go back

    Antelope behavior in late summer

    No Antelope don't behave anything like deer. While they do have a general core area (couple miles) that they spend their time in, they will move get up and move within that area middle of the day for no apparent reason. And you seeing one out in the middle of nothing is exactly what they like to...

    Lack of Tent Oxygen - Can't Sleep

    Your tent is in a lot better condition than mine if your getting so little air flow in and out of it that you run low on oxygen

    .338 is way to much gun. You definitely need to go buy a new one. Sorry

    Are Mule Deer Bad at Reproducing?

    Did a quick morning scout trip on the 4th, glassed one big valley for an hour. Saw 25ish does and 10 or so fawns. Fawns all looked very healthy, already running around and playing. Seemed to be with the older looking does. The younger looking does all had utters that looked like they have a...
