I put in my brothers apps this year and it turns out he drew the bison hunt that I put him in for. If anyone has knowledge about the Book Cliffs unit for bison and would being willing to share their experience via PM I'd be very thankful. We have hunted the unit on a couple elk hunts, but this...
I was able to have a few deer mounted and recently got them hung up. I posted a couple of my OR blacktails on a thread in that forum and I'm finally getting around to posting two of my CO Muleys here. It's sure been nice to get them out of the rafters in the shop and on the wall where I get to...
Looking for suggestions on which traditional bow to purchase. I had a traditional handmade recurve many years ago and shot it pretty well. I have a pretty short draw length if that matters when choosing brands or styles. I hunt with a rifle, muzzleloader and a compound, but would really like to...
I am looking at unit 110 for 2018. I am taking a co-worker that has never hunted a buck antelope. I will be sharing my points with him and we will have 3.5 average. This unit has an early opener and takes about the right number of points. We will need to go on a hunt that is earlier due to a...
Being from the wet side of OR, it's not that often I get a chance at two Whitetail in one year! This year was kind of different, as I drew a late OR Muzzleloader Whitetail tag and a late AZ Coues tag. Both hunts were a special treat since I usually hunt Blacktail at home and Muleys out of state...
I have an old knight MK-85 that I use in OR with conicals, caps and peeps and I love it. I drew a UT MZ elk tag though and I would like to take advantage of their more liberal restrictions on MZ seasons. Instead of messing with a great set up for OR, CO etc., I would like to buy a MZ that I...
Finally out ran the points creep and drew the Bitter Cr./Book Cliffs MZ hunt. Now to get busy with a lot more in depth research and shooting the smokepole! Anyone with experience in the unit that is willing to share any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate. Every bit of info I can gather is nice...
Joey's antelope
We were successful in MT. This was a new unit that we had never set foot in before the hunt. I'm happy to say that after a little work we beat our expectations. My antelope
Had a good hunt with family at home. This hunt is one of my favorites each year!
We were lucky to go 3 for 3 again. I don't have a pic of my sons buck yet. Blacktail hunting is addictive.
I finally got some time to post a quick story and some pics.
First of all I'd like to thank Luke, Trent and all the others that offered advice. It was very helpful and appreciated.
I'd like to say I came home with a big old billy, but due to a lot of rookie mistakes I didn't.
Day 1: We made it...
Finally had a chance to get out and look for a bear. I'm happy to say I ran in to this old chocolate colored boar. No measurements yet, but he's definitely a pumpkin headed old boy.
I have 10 pts. for Elk in NV. I've been putting in for 072,074 first choice and then some of the other top units 2-5 (per MRS and Huntinfool). My only concern is I'm really just winging it on choices. I was wondering if some of you folks with more NV knowledge than me, would be willing to weigh...
I drew a Kodiak Island South road system Mt. Goat hunt for 2014. I will be going DIY with my brother-in-law and brother. Although my brother-in-law lives in AK, neither of us have been to Kodiak or hunted Goat!(We've had successful sheep,grizzly,caribou and moose hunts). I was wondering if some...
Thanks for letting me be part of the Rokslide forum! I've hunted some in most of the western states and AK for various Big Game species. (at least as many as I could afford:)) I grew up a meat hunter, so I'm not always good at holding out for a monster,(I just love to hunt!) but I'm getting...
