    Habitat Improvement Feedback

    Keep the invasives and junk trees at bay. Figure out what you want to come back to timber and prescribed fire everything else every 3 to 4 years to keep the native plants and cover.

    2023 NR OTC Elk Rifle Tags?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I know I have a lot of research to do on a state and GMU. My expectations are not that high, just hopeful for a chance and some luck. Maybe we can get out there a few days early and gain some permission on private land.

    2023 NR OTC Elk Rifle Tags?

    Initially Colorado wasn't on my radar and after comments here it's more than likely out of the picture. Thinking Utah or Idaho but open to other states.

    2023 NR OTC Elk Rifle Tags?

    He is 55, in good health and physical condition. Realistically, we expect to have to go to a unit with rough terrain to get away from the average hunter.

    2023 NR OTC Elk Rifle Tags?

    Would we not be able to get away from other hunters? I hunt public land in TN that gets heavily pressured but I can always find pockets where other hunters do not go.

    2023 NR OTC Elk Rifle Tags?

    So...trying to plan an elk hunt with my uncle for 2023. I cannot get him to commit to archery so it looks like a rifle tag is needed. I've never been out west, he has been to Montana once but that was 20 years ago. What are our best options for a tag and somewhat of a chance at a decent elk? We...

    Weatherby Mark V Accumark vs Christensen vs?

    Looking for a new rifle in .300 Win Mag. Its primary use will be a beanfield gun for whitetail with shots ranging from 50 yards to 700 yards. Weight is not really an issue. I know only listed 2 rifles but I'm open to others, just looking for the most accurate rifle in that price range. Which one...

    The Ones that got away. 2020

    He came running right under my stand chasing a spike off of his does on December 1st. I could not get him to stop. I shouldered my rifle but my scope was turned all the way up, a mistake that cost me this buck. Well above average buck for my area! Our season is open to the weekend after New...

    What is your favorite hunting dog and why ?

    I've got a 6mo GSP pup. First one that I have worked with and she is sharp. Already retrieving and is hard on the birds my wife feeds.

    Checking scope before every hunt?

    I check zero a month before season opener and only check it again if the gun takes a hard hit. A good scope with good rings and bases should not lose zero.

    Saddle vs Tree Stand for Stationary Hunting

    I started saddle hunting last year on public and private land. I love the mobility of it. My current public land setup is a phantom saddle, predator platform, and timberninja outdoors carbon fiber sticks. Saddle hunting is a sickness and you'll constantly be tinkering with your setup and...

    Deer are fickle creatures - Why would it bypass food?

    You said wildlife commission so I'm guessing public land? If so, how heavily pressured is it? Here in the southeast, if a public parcel has food plots you can bet its been hunted and deer will not feed in the plot during daylight hours after the 1st week of the hunting season. I would set up...
