Hello. I am heading to Colorado for mule deer this year. My goal is any buck. I generally prefer National Forest hunts for deer and elk because I enjoy the effort, scenery and roadless areas. Is a 3rd rifle hunt possible in those high elevation units, or do I risk losing the whole hunt due to...
Hello all. I am e-scouting the Medicine Bow National Forest in southeast Wyoming and have a question about the roads. Are the roads labeled "not maintained for passenger cars" suitable for 4x4 pickup trucks? Or are they pretty much quad only? Looking for responses from anyone with local knowledge.
Only a couple of weeks until my first South Dakota pheasant hunt. My labrador is in her prime. Can't wait. Anybody else heading there for the first time? If you are a regular, what is your #1 tip for SD public land?
One of my favorite things is a mixed bag bird hunt in new country. Just exploring, camping, hiking, paddling, shooting and eating. I am considering a float trip through the Missouri River Breaks in Montana for my next adventure. I know the scenery will be great, but I am wondering about the bird...
As an eastern Canadian hunter, I appreciate the opportunity to hunt in the western USA. I've had two great trips. I got my first elk (bull) in Colorado in 2017. I got my first pronghorn (buck) this year in Wyoming. Two for two thus far! They won't make the record books, but they sure are...
Hello. My first visit to Wyoming is just a couple of weeks away. Can't wait! I was looking for something to do after my antelope hunt, so I picked up a cow tag for Area 129. Here's what I have observed in my e-scouting so far:
1. Area 129 is huge and has a low elk population.
2. Area 129...
Hello. Two of us are pronghorn hunting in east-central Wyoming this fall. We have many years of back country hunting experience but are new to this state and species. We're camping and looking forward to exploring a new landscape. We've done our research on the unit and are well prepared. We've...
I have seen plenty of opinion and discussion regarding parking along the interstate. I asked WY Highway Patrol for the actual law. Below is their response. As we all know, law officers have some latitude when interpreting and enforcing any law. I hope this helps your decision making this season...
I am planning my first Wyoming pronghorn hunt, and have been reading all the great advice here. I'm looking at some units with landlocked BLM land. How much do landowners typically charge to gain access? Is it usually a one-time fee for the duration of your hunt, or do they have daily rates? Any...
I do remote moose hunting trips in northern Ontario in an 18' freighter canoe. Often these are solo trips. I use a 2.5 HP four stroke outboard, which does the job nicely. So far I have been lucky, but am always concerned about mechanical failure. It would be difficult to paddle all the way out...
I've been reading about hunting opportunities at Fort Stewart, GA. 285,000 acres of habitat for deer, turkey, dove, quail, squirrel, and feral hogs. https://ftstewart.isportsman.net/Hunting.aspx
I plan to check it out on my next trip through GA but would love to hear first hand information from...
Hello all. I've been hunting the Canadian wilderness for decades. Exploring is half the fun for me. Packing out a moose is the other half! Now I am in serious planning mode for my first Colorado elk hunt.
