Saturday was one of those days where nothing was going right. Three of us spent the morning hunting around a few different areas with nothing but a far off gunshot heard. Nothing was moving, even the birds were quiet. Around 11:00 we moved to another town to meet up with some other guys. We...
We just got back from our Montana mule deer hunt. This was our 3rd trip out there. Same 3 of us went as the other trips; my buddy Shawn, my wife Wendy and myself (another Shawn).
We picked up my buddy on Saturday 10/22 at 3:30am to head to the airport. Flights were crazy expensive this year. We...
When does MT set their season dates? Is it safe to assume that the general deer season rifle dates will be similar to the last 2 years
i.e. 2020 10/24-11/28
2021 10/23-11/27
would 2022 be 10/22-11/26?????
We headed out West from Massachusetts in 2018. Wedecided after that trip that we would return in 2020. We kept planning and purchasing our preference points along the way. We drew our NR deer permits as expected thisSpring.
As the hunt got closer and we kept an eye on the weather we knew we...
This will be our 11th year of escaping winter in New England to head to Vegas to launch a few arrows and have a good time with friends. I look forward to this shoot every year...especially after having to sit on the sidelines last year recovering from rotator cuff surgery.
Anyone else going to...
I was fortunate to get drawn for a Maine moose tag after 17 years in the lottery. My tag was a Bull tag, Zone , Oct 14-19.
When I drew my NH moose tag in 2014 I kept a running thread going on another forum from the scouting thru the freezer. I was tempted to do the same thing this year as people...
My Maine Moose hunt is fast approaching. We leave 3 weeks from today...sleep is getting hard to come by.
I have made 4 scouting trips so far. Four of us are going for a 2 day trip Sept 27-29 which should be peak rut up there, hopefully the moose will be out and about. I will be doing a full...
I have a very slightly used/like new 2019 Marsupial bino harness in size Small (good for 10X42) and the rangefinder pouch with tether all in Ranger Green color. $80 shipped to your door for all of it Paypal F&F. I love the harness but the magnets interfere with my compass a little bit.
In 2016 I decided it was time to start planning an adventure out West. Mule deer have always intrigued me and the colors of their face look great on the wall. I started doing a lot of research into outfitters...there was no way I was going to be able to swing the cost of an outfitted hunt. I...
Quick question guys,
I was just reading through the tagging requirements on page 17 of the Montana deer, elk and antelope regulations and just wanted clarification. Upon killing a deer you have to cut out the dates on your tag and attach it to the animal (lets assume I wrapped it around the...
Coming from the Northeast, once firearm seasons open up you will find me in a pair of Johnson wool pants. They are plenty warm and quiet for a day of still hunting through the thick woods of Northern Maine or sitting on a stump during Mass shotgun, but their biggest drawback is they are not very...
THe Maine moose lottery is happening on Saturday 6/9/18. The results will be available later that day. I have been applying since 2002...hoping this is my year to draw a tag. Is anybody else in the drawing??? I've spent a lot of time in zones 7 and 8 and some time in Zone 4 if anybody gets a...
My wife has a Browning AB-3 in 7mm-08. Since she got it we have been running Hornady reduced recoil loaded w/ 120gr SST bullets. This ammo shoots very well out of the gun (consistently just over an inch at 100yds). For our upcoming Mule deer hunt this fall I bought a box of 140gr Nosler...
We are applying for our first NR General deer combo licenses this fall (no limited entry hunts). I keep seeing mention that it will probably be about 50% draw odds, what has it been the last few years if anybody knows?? Last summer we all bought a preference point to be used towards this years...
I know a lot of you guys get stuck going to Vegas every year for SCI or SHOT show etc. We go every year in early Feb. for The Vegas Shoot (archery tournament). Every year We take a day to go someplace different (Red Rock Canyon, zip lines at bootleg canyon, hoover dam, Sky walk at Grand...
We headed up to camp on Weds morning 11/15. We got to camp and were all unpacked by 11:00. We split up and went in 4 different directions. My buddy and I went back into a spot that I hunted a couple years ago and really liked the looks of. We got all the way back in there seeing a ton of moose...
With Maine in the middle of their Moose season and NH and VT coming up next week, Moose hunting is on my mind. I had put this thread together back in 2014 when I drew my permit. Naturally photobucket screwed the pooch when they switched to their 3rd party hosting BS. I just went through and...
I am planning my first trip out West for mule deer next fall (2018) with my wife and 1 other friend. We will be going to SE MT. I have a very general question for anyone familiar with that area or the terrain/cover in that area of the State. I am trying to do as much research, reading and...
