I'm trying to find a good quality hunt for axis deer and/or fallow deer. What's the going rate? Any suggestions regarding which game ranch might be the best to try?

We have moved. We thought that we were down-sizing since we are now empty nesters. But the new house had no place for shoulder mounts. So I built a trophy room.

I have been incognito for a while. I though that I might post one of my favorite articles upon my return to this forum.
ELK HUNTING SUCCESS
I get an elk every year. Sometimes I get both a cow and a bull. My hunting buddies rarely get an elk and one guy asked me why. I replied that there...
I feel like I have won the lottery. No I wasn't that Lucky, but I just checked the CO DOW website and I have drawn a Colorado Bighorn Sheep license. hump
It's for GMU 68. That's in the North end of the Sangre De Cristos. I've done some backpacking in the general area, but that was a couple of...
Just got back from my goat hunt. It was a special management hunt, a month later than usual and with no notice. So I had to grab my gear and go and make the best of it.
On a scale of 1 thru 10, where 10 is the most difficult, this hunt was a 9. I hunted for 8 days and on 6 of those days I...
Starting research for a return to hunt caribou, 2006. This time I will fly into Kotzebue and catch a hop with a bush pilot from there.
Did an Internet search on Maverick Air and got mixed results.
Has anybody had personal experience with Arctic Circle Air or Northwest Aviation? Both are bush...
Hunting opportunities and/or outdoor activities are scarce this time of year. We are currently hunkering down and waiting out a blizzard.
What hunting and/or outdoor related activities have you participated in, so far this year? :rolleyes:
I've gone on several day hikes in the foothills...
A couple of foxes have been living in a culvert in my driveway for several years. This is the first time that I have seen the bitch with kits.
There are three kits but one is less adventurous than the others. It seems reluctant to leave the culvert. I have only seen all three of them...
I am offering an elk hunt north-central Colorado where you have a good chance of taking a nice represenative bull. You can take two elk if one of them is a cow. We are not taking B&C trophys but each year we take respectable 5x5, and small 6x6 bulls and many more cows.
:)
I will be hunting...

Is anyone familiar with Wyoming unit 27? The Thunder Basin National Grassland occupies most of the area so it looks like good public access.
Is there a strong pronghorn population?
Is there much hunting pressure?
What about whitetails?
Any recon would be be apreciated.

I'm in the Dillingham Public Library. Just got back from the first trip. Tom got a medium bull caribou. It's not the one that he wanted but the 'bou committed suicide by walking right into camp and Tom decided to take him. Tom dropped him rigth on the shore of the lake so we didn't have to...
I just can't wait. But I guess I have no alternative.
In two weeks I will leave for five weeks of hunting and outdoor recreation in Alaska.
First trip will be ten days of canoeing and fishing on the Tikchik Lakes, with my son. Next will be ten days of moose hunting on the King Salmon River...
Hey Moosie:
I just read, on another forum, that you can buy rifle elk permits over-the-counter, for northern Idaho hunt in October.
What's the skinny?

Let's see some pictures of the hunting camps that you have used.
This was my first hunting camp, in 1978, in the West Elk Wilderness. Wasn't as miserable as it looks.
We backpacked into Ruby Lake in 1985. The fishing was great.
Here's a picture of our first big...
This weekend there will be a sale at Galyands in my home town. I can get 25% off on those lazer range-finding binoculars.
Has anybody used them? They seem heavy and awkward. Are they worth the weight and bulk?

My son and I will be coming through Anchorage on August 21. Lay over in Anchorage on our way to Dillingham for a 6 week hunting/finshing adventure. I'm about to book a room for the night at the Royal Suite Lodge, which is the least expensive place that I can find with a free airport shuttle...
I had a silversmith mount these ivories in silver bases with loops. Then I assembled the rest. This necklace holds the ivories of six mature bulls, two cows and a spike bull, which I have taken over several years. All the silver is Sterling. The ferrels are bone. It's too elaborate for me...
