    DIY Nutria?

    Have any of you ever tried a DIY nutria hunt? I am thinking south Louisiana or the gulf coast of Texas. My google-fu hasn't turned up anything but guides and a bunch of generic articles saying I should go do it.

    Camera Holster

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a holster type case for a DSLR camera? I am looking for something to carry my camera on my waist belt that allows to quickly pull it out, snap a few shots, and continue on down the trail. Thinking something like the below...

    Grand Canyon Bison Hunt

    Anyone know more about the NPS plan? Ran across an article saying they are moving towards volunteer hunters but they may or may not be able to keep the meat?!? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/09/12/national-park-service-guns-grand-canyon-bison-hered/656627001/

    Javelina Tips?

    I got lucky and drew a tag for javelina in Big Bend Ranch State Park in Texas, just outside of Big Bend National Park. It looks like 400 square miles of beautiful country perfect for glassing. I've been reading up about hunting them online, but thought I'd see if any of you could offer any...

    Amazon Prime

    Did I hear on a recent podcast that Fresh Tracks would be available on Amazon Prime, or was that wishful thinking?

    Washington general info

    Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it searching the WA website, the archives or on GoHunt. What is the system for allocating tags in Washington? Is there a point system? Is it all by raffle? I really appreciate any basic info you could provide. Thanks!

    Nevada System Down?

    I am trying to apply in Nevada for the first time and can't get the online system to work - have been trying all day. Is anyone else having this issue, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

    First Western Hunt

    Having never hunted the West, my father, brother and I put in for Wyoming antelope but didn’t draw our first choice unit. Instead, we drew our second choice which ended up having many leftover tags. With the gracious help of this board and a lot of research, I felt I was able to locate more...

    Taxidermist Location

    I am doing my first pronghorn hunt this fall in Wyoming and can't decide what I want to do for a taxidermist. I want to do a shoulder mount if I am lucky enough to take a nice buck. Should I leave it with a taxidermist in WY and then deal with/pay for shipping it home to Dallas, or do I keep...

    What else to do in WY

    Planning my first trip to Wyoming this October to chase pronghorn. As it's our first time and we don't really know what to expect, I am planning plenty of hunting days in case things don't go exactly according to plan. That said, I'm wondering what suggestions you have for things to do if we...

    50mm for Trophy Shots

    What lens do you all recommend for trophy shots? I am thinking about picking up the Canon 50mm f/1.8. The price is great, and it seems like the fixed 50 would be the ticket, able to open it up wide to get better shots after sunset or around the campfire, blur out the background if I really...

    Chains needed in WY?

    I keep reading horror stories about the Wyoming mud when it gets wet and a lot of recommendations to carry chains for when it gets bad. I am heading there to antelope hunt this fall. Are chains necessary if you have a good 4x4? The reason I ask is that I have just about about the biggest...

    Wyoming Public vs. Private Roads

    I just got the Hunt WY chip and have been going through the maps, trying to figure out where I will hunt this fall. Reading old posts about public land access, I am not real clear on which roads are public or private. My understanding is that county paved roads are public, obviously, and that...

    Book on Behavior/Tactics

    Hello, I have never elk hunted, but want to do a public land hunt in 2015 or 2016. Does anyone recommend a book or two on the basics of elk hunting and/or general elk behavior? I have a fair amount of back country and hunting experience, but have never gone after elk. Thanks in advance!

    Another New Guy

    Hello All, I've been lurking here for a while. I grew up hunting in Illinois and have moved around since then, Florida, Missouri, Alaska, and am currently in Texas. I finally decided to join as I am getting ready for my first Western hunt this fall, and hopefully will be planning a few more...

    Chip or Download for Maps

    Hello all, I just drew my first antelope tag in WY and am looking into getting the landowner chip for my GPS. Is there any advantage of getting the chip over the download, or vice versa? I have a Garmin Oregon 450t if it makes any difference. Thanks!!
