I'd also like to hear what people got for their time in the field. I hear people talking about 1,10,20,30 days... What did those days get ya ? did ya get skunked ? Or get what you wanted..
 
Well I personally got a dinky doe and a goose.(and some doves) I got skunked in fall and spring turkey.

But TurkeyEye got his first deer aslo. I spent alot of that time trying to get my family their first deer.

Oh and some of mine was spent in Texas where I got a Texas Dall.
Plus a couple days in Kentucky.

In all it might not look like much game was gotten. But I believe that I met around 20 members from here last year.

Well of the 28 days in the field I got a 5x5 elk and an antelope. I saw lots of antelope, deer and elk. The 5 pt elk was the only one I had a shot at. The deer I saw, some were pretty decent, but not comfortable with the shots offered so I did not try. I also go several grouse for dinner on the way back to camp while I was elk hunting. saw lots of bear track, but no bear and lots of wolf tracks and saw one wolf. The time I spent in the field was well worth it. On top ofthe 28 days there were lots of days in the hills looking for new areas to try. One always needs a plan B should plan A fall through.
 
I spent over 60 days in the field last year. I got a cow elk, a 160 class "gross" mule deer, and 117 upland birds. 65 chukar, 35 grouse, 15 quail, 1 pheasant, 1 hun.
I helped with a couple more deer and a cow elk. Ron

I didn't hunt anything but some ducks and geese. But I did enjoy introducing three guys to my favorite spots for both. I had a ball the last month of waterfowl season.
 
I was 2 for 2 big game last year so yes, the days in the field were worth it. Anytime in the field is better than doing yard work or watching tube. I hope I can get in more scouting this year so that I can pick and choose my elk/deer.

Alot of memories, My son YoungRobinHood got his first deer with a bow. It was a 7 pointer, also a nice doe with a rifle.

My daughter Deerchik got a nice 8 pointer, a 6 pointer, and a doe.

As for me I took a small 3 pointer which had been hit by a car or something, it only had 1 horn and a hole on the other side. And 10 ducks. I also got to hunt with some new people like TurkeEye { a real good young man } Nut, Darren and got to meet vipe. All in all it was a great season, one in which I will long remember.

I got

a 5x5 elk,

a fork-horn mulie,

daily limit of sage grouse (2),

a javelina and

a wild hog.

Oh and about 50 prairie dogs and

a few rabbits.

I also killed two porcupines with a stick

and a ptarmigan with a rock. The ptarmigan was a spring chick and sure tasted good.

P.S. I also killed two mule deer with my truck. They were really expensive, costing the insurance company about $4,500. But I don't count them. Out of season.
 
Moosie everyday in the woods is just what I went for if I bag an animal that is just the icing on the cake for me.If I wanted an animal every year I wouldnt live in this state thats for sure
