    Warner #2 Oregon

    After looking over 100+ bucks and laying off the trigger, I finally found a toad. His mass is crazy big.

    Warner #2 Oregon

    If anyone has hunted the Warner unit in the past, and would be willing to chat with me, I would certainly welcome a PM. Drew 2nd season on my 26th year of applying. Matt

    Idaho DEA Draw is out!

    Goose egg for me. Been too many years of applications and spending several hundred $$ a year in supertag donations to not draw something at this point.

    oregon 2025 tag success

    Warner antelope for me after 26 years of points. I'm inclined to mentor my 11 yr old on this one. Perfect 1st hunt for her.

    Montana Opener

    Who all is heading out for the opener this year? I'll be backpacking in for a week Saturday afternoon. Good luck and avoid the grizz if you are heading out.

    2024 oregon results are up

    Nada for me. 25 lope pts for next year should finally score a tag.

    Bitterroot Mule Deer 261/270

    I drew 261 in 2008. Didn’t hunt too hard with a pregnant wife in tow. Knocked on some doors, obtained access to a little chunk, and killed a 171 net 4x5. Backed the truck up to it with the landowner, and loaded whole. Easiest hunt I’ve been on. Being older and wiser, I would approach that tag...

    22 resident sheep points and no dice. Waiting list for moose. No luck on my 3d goat tag.

    2024 Idaho S/G/M Results

    Unsuccessful on sheep. Still have OR, MT, and UT sheep draws left. On a 5-year cold streak of these <3% odd tags. Oh well. Congrats to those that drew.

    How close to camp?

    All depends on a multitude of factors. In my MT general archery elk area, I backpack in and set up a spike camp on a high bench above a spring for water purposes. I've killed bulls anywhere from 200 yds from spike camp to a mile from spike camp. Basically, I'm hunting once I leave the tent...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    There is no need to mess with elk season as it is currently set. Youth hunt should stay the same. Deer season should open the same Saturday as it historically has, but close on 11/10 or thereabouts. Similar to the north side of the CMR. Pick your weapon and pick your region for general deer...

    CO 3rd Season success

    MT general season always provides plenty of opportunity. Started building points years ago everywhere, and now sprinkling in 1 out-of-state solid hunt a year in addition to the occasional lightning strike tag. Burned my UT pts last year on a Book Cliffs archery tag and picked up an archery elk...

    CO 3rd Season success

    I have to say the pre-hunt planning is as much fun as the actual hunt. That research led to an epic hunt in an area I found no intel on. Burning 14 points on an 11-12 point unit paid off on day 5. Public land DIY. He was the 3rd biggest buck I saw on public for the trip, albeit 1 was for 3...
