Getting ready for App season. What’s your guess on how many points for each 3 regions for the NR general tag. I’m going in at 5 points for the Southern region regular draw. Fingers crossed.
My son got his first elk this morning about 40 minutes into his first ever elk hunt. Went into an area I killed a bull in a few years ago and walked right up on a small herd. 3 busted out over the hill so I started cow calling and this one snuck into 30 yards and he made a great shot. Now it’s...
Had a great hunt this morning. Took my buddy Allen to try to get his first spring gobbler. Didn’t hear anything off the roost so had to take off and find them. Finally heard 2-3 gobbling together. Made 2 or 3 setups before we finally were in the zone. 3 long beards came out in the field. I gave...
Had a great morning with the boy. He got his first turkey with my old single shot 20ga that I killed my first deer with 32 years ago. He was super excited. Had turkeys all around us gobbling off the roost then they hit the ground and went quite like always. I told him we just needed to be...
I put in my app for the general elk tag the other day and am trying to change it from individual to group. My buddy has decided he wants to put in with me. I tried to go on there and modify but I didn’t see an option to change from individual to group. Thanks.
Anyone ever done this? One of my main areas I elk hunt in CO has a bunch of single track trails in it. Every September I see guys recreational riding so I’m thinking why not try it. I’ve never used a 4 wheeler or anything hunting other than my boots before but these trails can get me back into...
Going on my first western rifle hunt in 2 weeks for mule deer. I’ll first off admit I’m more of a archery guy so this longer range shooting is all new to me. Here in VA your lucky to get 100 yard shot in the places I hunt. For this hunt I upgraded scopes and got a 4x12 cds for my 30-06. I plan...
I have a second season deer tag for the unit east of Yampa CO. I’m wondering if any of the roads I’m seeing on the map access national forest off HWY 131 specifically the Green ridge area. CO hunting atlas shows open FS roads and I can see them cut through private on the map back to HWY 131 but...
I’ve been watching and listening to bulls bugle this morning on the VA elk cam. https://dwr.virginia.gov/elk-cam/
Pretty neat. To bad none of us drew the tag.
I’m e scouting for a deer tag I just picked up in a unit I’ve drove through but no boots on the ground experience. I’ve found a promising looking spot but I’m expecting it’s going to be a bigger hole then what it looks like on the map. From your experience how bad is a 1000ft drop in elevation...
When I first started dreaming of coming out west and elk hunting I couldn’t wait to get my first pic with a bull on my back. For some reason these are always my favorite pics from the hunt. Post up your favorite’s and let’s get fired up for the upcoming season! Good luck to everyone this year...
Great couple days of trolling for these TN rainbows and browns. Caught my best rainbow to date. Sorry for the bloody pics these things bleed like a stuck hog. My boat looks like a crime scene.
Had to change up tactics a little this morning. I’ve had this bird strutting at 80-100 yards 2 different times this year and couldn’t close the deal. He usually heads up to the top side of field and of course I’m always at the bottom. So this morning I got in super early and set up near the top...
Took my son to the lake today and he caught a couple nice ones. Is the darker one a cutthroat or a rainbow? If it is a cut I didn’t know we had them in South Holston. They just stocked a month or so ago so I’m sure they could have put it in.
Quick question for the CO draw experts. Can youth apply with a group of adults? My son is dying to go west with us. He’s 14 with no points. We are going for NR ML cow tags.
