    Potential Oregon Record Roosevelt

    I hate to brag but I possibly killed the all time smallest Roosevelt spike ever killed yesterday. I decided to forgo archery season for the second time in my adult life this year since I had a long hunt planned in Nevada in September. Planned to hunt first season rifle but when it came around my...

    Piebald Blacktails, we got em!

    For about 10 years the local deer herd has been turning white. Looks like a Buck Boer Goat has been breeding the does but I guess that’s unlikely. Walking the dog the other evening and saw this fawn. The second picture was on our property about 10 years ago. He lived to at least 8 and added a...

    Nevada Muzzleloader Mule Deer Hunt Units 71-79, 91

    Getting excited to head down to Nevada in early September. I've been applying for 12 years down there but this is the first Nevada hunt for me. I have a good friend that lives down there and he has already got me lined up with spots to start but curious to hear from anybody else who has hunted...

    Big Old Greasy Bear

    Posted this in Spring Bear thread but figured I would add some pictures of what I have done with him. One shot in shoulder quartered to me at 34 yards. He spun around and died 29 yards away. 308 shooting 165 grain AccuBonds did its job! Not too much wasted meat. We love canned meat for quick...

    Wyoming Elk Planning with 11 Points as NR

    The two oldest boys and I have been buying Wyoming points for 11 years and honestly wish we had used them last year given the increase in cost of the Special tags this year but we didn't as we had a lot of hunts already planned. We want to at least apply for tags this year as none of us expect...

    Rifle/Shotgun Combo Suggestions?

    Now that my elk and deer tags are filled I've been out hiking around a lot looking for Grouse. It's just a matter of time before I run into a cougar while packing the shotgun and I would hate to miss the chance to remove one from the population so I was thinking about a double barrel...

    Oregon Coastal Blacktail

    Blacktail season ended for me Friday morning! I spent opening weekend on East side of state helping my son harvest a nice 4 point Mule Deer and didn’t start hunting myself until last Monday. An hour into my hunt I spotted this buck but with season running into mid November this year decided to...

    2023 Archery Roosevelt

    Things finally came together for me last week! This is my first hunting season being unburdened by employment which was pretty nice. It was a slow season for me as far as bull action but it’s great to have plenty of time to plug away at it. This bull was cruising along the edge of a small herd...

    In Need Of A 20 Gauge Slug Gun...

    I got lucky and drew a pretty good deer tag here in Oregon that has weapon limitation of shotgun, muzzleloader or bow. I have a muzzleloader that I can kill with at 100 yards and a bow that I am confident with out of 50 yards on deer size target. In Oregon you can use a scope on a shotgun but...

    Car Accident on HWY 12 around MP 70?

    My son and his girlfriend were coming home from Montana the other day and were first responders to a bad vehicle accident by the hot springs around MP 70, I think it was near the Jerry Johnson Hot Springs. A semi hauling a piece of farm equipment lost control and hit a car driven by a young...

    Oregon Coast Roosevelt 2021

    My two oldest son's drew really good Rocky Mt Elk tags in NE Oregon this year so I didn't really expect to get much hunting in this year myself. Luckily they both killed nice bulls the first weekend and I survived helping pack out of the steepest country I have ever had to pack meat out of...

    Dark Timber Blacktail

    Since I was able to arrange the last 5 days of the season to hunt Blacktails I was determined to try and find a 4 point this year. I've killed a couple with my bow years ago in Southern Oregon but here on the coast we don't get many. I've lost count of how many blacktails I've killed but had...

    Wyoming Pronghorn Hunt 2020

    Well, my son and I had a great trip to Wyoming. I wish we could have spent more time there but since our archery elk season here got interrupted by fires we both wanted to get home in time to hunt the last few days. Wildabeast offered us use of his cabin and that really added to the trip. He's...

    Wyoming Unit 93 Pronghorn

    Headed out in a couple days to hunt Unit 93 for the first time! I think we have a good handle on where to hunt but thought I would ask on here if there are any really cool places to check out in the unit? Also trying to figure out wolf situation in Wyoming. It appears a non resident tag is...

    Shed hunting elk!

    First time I've seen one.... My wife and I hiked in to check a trail cam tonight and found that a Roosevelt bull had brought us a shed and dropped it right in front of the camera.

    Thanks Dwight Schuh!

    Sorry to hear that Dwight Schuh passed away today. He was definitely one of my biggest inspirations when I took up archery hunting back in 1987. Just a great man who was always humble and loved to hunt. I remember being totally defeated after the first week of elk season and reading one of his...

    My First Muzzleloader Kill

    For some reason I got inspired to take up shooting a muzzleloader this year. It was a lot of fun learning something new and getting it dialed in! Gun is a CVA Optima shooting 247 grain Copper Thor Hollow Points with 120 grains of Pyrodex Select....it shoots very well. I had 10 points here in...

    First confirmed deadly cougar attack in Oregon.

    I am shocked it has taken this long for this to happen. Our cougar population seems to be really rising and prey species declining. I would not expect it to be long before number 2. I am seeing cat tracks almost every day hunting now in an area there were next to none 15 years ago...

    Oregon Spring Bear 2018

    Any other Hunt Talkers hunting bears in Oregon this Spring? I decided to try and kill a bear with a muzzleloader this Spring. I've never hunted with one before but want to become proficent with one to expand some hunting opportunities. Headed out last evening for my first ever muzzleloader hunt...
