New Western hunter needs advice on Mule deer hunting
Lots of good advice in this thread. I would only add that if you're going to bowhunt mulies you would do well to get your hands on Dwight Schuh's excellent book, Hunting Open Country Mule Deer. That book has been in print for many years and still remains one of the best primers on hunting mule... -

Western camo patterns
Open earth tone plaids work just as well, or often better, than most camo patterns. That said, ASAT or the some of the Predator designs are very effective camo patterns. -
Anyone else bowhunting the breaks next month?

Anyone shooting Montecs???
I shoot the Montec 100's. They are a quality head but I agree that they are hard to sharpen. -
Matthews Switchback XT?
I have a Mathews Switchback XT and it's a great bow. In fact I'm very happy with it. That said, I think you should listen to the above advice and check out as many bows as you can before deciding which bow to purchase. What works for me may not be the best choice for you. I use my XT is... -

Anyone use a 45.70 for elk?
For several years my hunting rifle of choice has been a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 30.06 topped with a 2.5 x 8 Leupold scope. This gun has served me well for my elk and deer hunts. However, this year I have decided to hunt the roosevelt elk which are native to the thick woods found on... -
Got our Moose
Congrats on the moose. Real nice. I usually put in for those moose hunts above Spokane as well - and perhaps someday I might actually draw one of those tags. But it's real nice to see pics of someone who actually got one of those moose. Again, congratulations.- Rooselk
