    I can't find any regulations regarding the use of motorized spinning wing decoys in Nevada within Nevada's regulations. Are the rules regarding the use of motorized spinning wing decoys set by the State or Fed.?

    Resource for local guide?

    I drew a WY unit 25/27 tag for elk and plan to hunt it mid to late Sept. Never have I used a guide before, but this is some pretty big country and I've never set foot in it. Can anyone recommend a guide for the area or a resource to find one?

    calling javelina with predator call. Help?

    I hope to be drawn for Archery javelina in AZ. If so, I'd like to be prepared to include calling javelina into my tool kit. The question I have is, does time of year or time of day matter? I'm likely to glass the mornings and evenings and try some blind calling during the remainder of the...

    Sanctuary Vs. Sanctuary

    I drew a WY cow tag for a unit that apparently gets significant pressure due to proximity to a population center. I am planning to hunt after 9/15 during the archery season. The unit is well over population objective so it has plenty of animals, but apparently still a tough hunt. As is often...

    Cramps

    Does anyone get hellacious cramps when hunting? Any cures or preventions other than staying hydrated and keeping up electrolytes? Sorry if this is a re-post. Can't find the original.

    Accessing/Transferring Limited Onx data

    Is there a way to transfer data such as way points that I have saved to my Onx account to another hunter to access on his Onx account? I have an Onx account with several states and have over the years populated the maps with way points, un-marked water holes, game, trails etc. I've invited...

    Any birders in the forum?

    I need help identifying a bird that I have only heard but never seen. It makes a two note call, after dark in my local area. I'm interested in finding a resource that might help me narrow this down and I don't want to join another forum to discuss titmouses and warblers etc.

    Archery hunt with rifle back up in griz country?

    I have been considering an archery elk hunt in grizzly country. My usual hunting partner is not to excited about that. I'm not afraid of the bears to the point where it would keep me from enjoying a hunting trip but I want to be as smart about it as possible and know all my options. I was...

    Elk down across unit boundaries?

    Hopefully this doesn't happen. What is the protocol if your mortally wounded game crosses unit boundaries and or state lines yet remains on public where you are free to go but not hunt because of the tag restriction. Go get it? Call a warden?

    Wyoming - Wilderness area distinction

    Wyoming- Aside from the rule that requires NR hunters to be accompanied by a guide or resident, what distinguishes Wilderness areas from non-wilderness areas? I imagine that there is something more than just decree and line on a map. Secondly, how is the rule of "accompanied" by a resident...

    Wyoming- Whats the difference in definition between antlerless elk and cow or calf?

    Wyoming Antlerless elk hunts burn points and cost the same as an any elk tag. Cow calf elk tags cost less and don't burn points. Whats the difference between the two?

    Water proofing boots

    I intend to apply a waterproofing product to my leather boots for the first time. I imagine that they all probably have some odor to them that could be off-putting to game. Are there any products out there that I should avoid or that you recommend? Thanks

    Cow vs Rut Bull Elk - A question of challenge

    For those who have hunted both with the same weapon. Aside from drawing the tag, is taking a bull during the rut anymore difficult than taking a cow elk? On the one hand the cow elk hunter is probably dealing with a lot more ears, noses and eyes than the bull hunter (I suspect) and the rut...

    Mule deer vs. Coues

    I've hunted mule deer, but never coues or Eastern whitetail. I hope to make an AZ archery coues deer hunt soon. For those of you who have hunted coues and mule deer, my question is: Do these coues whitetail behave more like the mule deer that they share habitat with or more like sketchy...

    243 lead-free ammo help

    I currently shoot a hand loaded 95 gr Hornady SST out of my 243. It has proven devastating on two antelope that I shot last year; 1 at 100 yds. (dead in her tracks), and the other a young buck walking at 243 yards (ran about 20 yards and collapsed). I feel confident with my accuracy out to 250...
