    Colorado 2nd vs 3rd Rifle

    I’m leaning toward 3rd rifle as of right now. I think I found a couple units that fit my criteria.

    Colorado 2nd vs 3rd Rifle

    I've deer hunted a lot but mainly in eastern WY and the western Dakotas. This will be my first deer hunt in Colorado and first time deer hunting in a more mountain setting. For this hunt I'm not looking to shoot the first buck I see but hoping to find a mature deer. I have 4 points going into...

    Colorado 2nd vs 3rd Rifle

    I am having an internal debate about which season to choose for a 2025 Colorado deer hunt. I have the ability to draw some "better" units for second rifle and was leaning that way for awhile. I like the idea of hunting an area that has a better age structure and trophy potential but if the deer...

    North Dakota Taxidermist

    Looking for any recommendations from members on taxidermists in North Dakota. I recently moved to Bismarck and am unfamiliar with folks around here.

    SD Deadhead Elk story

    Funny update to this story. The deadhead will be for sale this coming weekend at the GFP auction. Guess my buddy made some money for them!

    SD Deadhead Elk story

    Just seems like an odd rule. It wasn’t a huge bull but it was his first elk find.

    SD Deadhead Elk story

    A couple buddies of mine went to South Dakota for a long weekend to do some shed hunting. About halfway through the second day one of them called me and said he found an elk deadhead and asked if I could look if there was a way to legally keep it (otherwise he would leave it there). I sent him...

    Left-hand rifle options

    I’m looking to buy a new rifle before next season. I am left handed and looking for a bolt action which limits some options. I was initially leaning toward the Tikka t3x lite stainless but can get a good deal on the Savage 110 storm. I think I’m set on getting either one in 270 if that makes a...

    Custer State Park SD Bison Hunt

    Does anyone who has done the non trophy bison hunt remember approximately how much meat they got after processing?

    To travel or not travel with a mount

    I did both this year. I shot a deer in SD and left it with a taxidermist there because the deer was in velvet and I figured I would be coming back through that area the next year for at least one hunt and could pick it up then. I also shot a deer in Wyoming and had a taxidermist prepare it for...

    Public Land Etiquette Question

    Thanks for all the replies. I feel better about the situation and probably let it bother me too much at the time. Karma may have been on my side that day as when I got to the end of the trail I ended up shooting a nice buck.

    Public Land Etiquette Question

    I was listening to Randy's podcast today about hunting etiquette and I got to thinking about a recent trip I made to a large piece of National Forest land in WY. I arrived at a trail head before shooting time and saw a truck and camper parked there. Knowing the trail was about 3 miles long and...
