    First Mule Deer - 2020 NM Blackpowder Hunt

    Took a while to get around to posting, but wanted to share my 2020 mule deer success in NM. Several HT members shared information that really helped me get started on this hunt and I've messaged or texted with them since the hunt - what a great community. Drove 8.5 hours out on a Thursday at...

    NM Unit 37 Mule Deer - Muzzleloader

    Drew a Unit 37 muzzleloader tag for 10/24 - 10/28. While not the most coveted tag, this one is significant to me. My grandfather, dad, uncles, and more hunted the unit regularly before I was born, always on West Mountain from the same campsite. While I plan to be a little more flexible about...

    CO Antelope - Units 137, 138 & 144

    Burned my preference points on a rifle tag this year for pronghorn in southeast CO. I had a good conversation with the CPW manager for the area and he was very helpful in answering specific questions. He pointed out that intense hunting pressure has been biggest factor in last few years, but...

Recently I received a new VX-3 4.5-14x40 as a gift (last model year before they went to VX-3i). My plan is to swap out...

    Rain gear for Alaskan fly fishing trip

    Headed to Alaska this summer for the first time. Iliamna Lake for a week to fly fish. Everything I read says to bring the best rain jacket you can afford, all say Gore-Tex by name. This will be my first time to fly fish, so I am hesitant to spend the money for a Simms or similar wading jacket...

    New to Hunt Talk

    Just wanted to introduce myself. Found this great forum through listening to the Meat Eater podcast. Only wish I would have found it, and Randy's shows sooner. I grew up in New Mexico and took it for granted everyone had public land right outside of town. Now I live in Oklahoma where public...
