    Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?

    Do any of you still hunt for mule deer in the Western Mountains? Like Nevada, Utah, etc.? From what I gather, it seems mule deer hunting in real life in places like Nevada and Utah seems to involve most hunters spending most of their time on or near roads, glassing, glassing, glassing...

    A Kinda Fun Deer Tag Dilemma

    Help me decide on my fun deer tag application decision. Background facts: I am a Nevada Resident with zero points in Nevada (got a deer last year in NV). I also have two points in California, and zero points in Colorado (just decided to add Colorado this year as another opportunity/money sink...

    My First Antelope (American Pronghorn)

    I am pleased to report that after getting skunked on my first antelope hunt a couple years ago, I was successful opening morning yesterday. I am changing my username on this site back to AntelopeEater, haha. I finally got an antelope, and this was also my first successful DIY big game animal...

    Epic Bear, Deer, and Pig in 4 days!

    Recently had the pleasure of going on a guided hunt for free range wild animals on a gigantic private ranch of over 7,000 acres in northern California, it was truly epic! Achieved a long held goal of finally getting a black bear, also got my best deer yet, a 4x3 blacktail buck, and a bonus pig...

    Who will be eating Antelope this fall?

    If you look at my post history, you will see I joined back when I first got an antelope tag as an adult onset hunter. I was excited about getting an antelope, had heard they are arguably the best tasting American game animal, and gave myself the username AntelopeEater because I was excited at...

    Double-tapping with a .243 vs one shot with 30-06?

    So, I was thinking that, especially in places that require copper bullets, since a lot of times a powerful 30-06 will pass through the animal leaving a small hole and dumping a lot of the energy into the ground after exiting the animal..... Why not hunt with something like a semi-auto Browning...

    Critique my WY Pronghorn NON-resident tag application

    So, I don't really know what I am doing and I only have two preference points for a buck antelope in WY. I don't care about a trophy, I'd just like a unit with lots of lope and some stalking/shot opportunities. Since I figure I don't have good odds of drawing a good unit with my two points...

    Finding bear in California in the Sierras this November/December?

    Any tips on how I can find a bear before the year ends in the Sierras in Cali this year? I know I should be looking in 3-6k feet of elevation where there are hopefully still some acorns, anything else would be appreciated.

    Wyoming Long Range Turkey with Centerfire Rifle?

    Howdy y'all, I am an adult onset hunter without a lot of turkey hunting experience, forgive me if I seem pretty ignorant. Last year I went on a guided turkey hunt in California and attempted to harvest a turkey by shooting it in the head at close range with an air rifle from a blind, but...

    Marlin 1895 SBL with see thru scope rings?

    Managed to score a new Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBL in 45-70 at Bass Pro recently. It came with an XS ghost ring sight which would be ok if only using the gun for defense against large dangerous game up close, but not really for hunting at 100+ yards like I hope to have the chance to do with it...

    18" shotgun for duck hunting from a kayak?

    Hello, I want to try duck hunting from a sit-in kayak this upcoming waterfowl season, and I'm wondering if that is a worthwhile excuse to buy another gun, something like a Winchester SXP Marine Defender pump with the stainless steel 18" barrel. On the one hand, the shorter barreled gun would...

    Was my experience normal...or did I somehow F&#K up?

    I am posting because I am a relatively inexperienced adult-onset hunter, and am wondering if I somehow screwed up my antelope hunt. After not getting an antelope tag in the regular draw in Nevada, my home state, I began obsessively checking the FCFS website as soon as it opened hoping to get a...

    Dove Opener Overton WMA in Nevada

    I just got the email from NDOW, I "won the lottery" and got a spot to hunt doves at the Overton, NV Wildlife Management Area Saturday September 2, 2023. Anyone from this website going to be there? Would be cool to say Hi and meet in real life. This will also be my first time dove hunting...
