    IDFG Bear Identification Guide

    I suppose if the intent is to get people thinking and talking, it is at least somewhat working... It certainly could be used although I'm not certain how effective it would be. Wyoming guy had to pay $10k I think. It is a hunters responsibility to know, and I think Idaho let it slide in this...

    Wyoming unit 27 hunt, SxS or no?

    How did your hunt turn out? Did you take the side by side?

    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    Another variable, outside of species of size, imo would be the current state of the animal. If it's later in the season and the animal is worn out, it dies easier. If the animal is aware of your presence and theres a loud rifle, it runs farther and takes more than an arrowed animal that was...

    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    I swear when I hit a grouse with a single pellet, they crumple and are dead on impact or at least stay where they land. However, it's not uncommon to hit a pheasant and watch them fly hundreds of yards. Or if they do fall and hit the ground, they hit the ground running. Blood volume may be a...

    There is no animal that is tougher than any other.

    Just a personal anecdote but both lions I've shot died extremely quickly..

    I killed a bull on a cow tag in colorado

    I may have been unclear, but as LongWayAround said, I'm not sure he knew it has any antlers at all. I haven't hunted moose, and assume theres a couple other differences such as coloring of the throat thing, but younger animals that seems to be less obvious. If only going by antlers, I think it...

    Do you trust OnX?

    All publicly released data indicates all trails has more. Total social media following higher for all trails as well. AllTrails is freely accessible where as many of OnX tools require payment. OnX users may be more serious and certain communities will definitely have more OnX users (hunting...

    7PRC or stay with 6.5PRC

    Both will kill any of those animals at that range. I personally like the 7 because I like heavier bullets https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/6-5-prc-and-7mm-prc.350835/

    Do you trust OnX?

    Certainly true. About 4 million OnX users to 16 million hunters is ~25%. Less than 10% of all Americans use All Trails. But there are wayyy more non-hunters than hunters. Which is why I see more non-hunters in the field than I do hunters.. Hunters are also much more seasonal. Between skiing...

    Do you trust OnX?

    All Trails being free definitely contributes to it users. Over 65 million. OnX is less than 10% of that. I think Covid certainly had a lot of impact on the increased use as indoor activities were shut down so people were outdoors that otherwise wouldn't have been. I think another major issue...

    Do you trust OnX?

    I've tracked backpacking trips on well established trails. I also used it to track many mountain runs when training for ultra marathons. Have tracked 1000s of miles on apple watches, fitbits, OnX, traced on google earth, AllTrails and more. OnX does very well imo, especially if I only use it...

    Do you trust OnX?

    Knowing how far something is can be quite helpful. When scouting I will track different mileage and is helpful when hunt planning. It's not that uncommon that I will but 40+ miles hiking in a weekend of scouting. The difference between packing out a large animal 6 miles vs 10 miles can be quite...

    I killed a bull on a cow tag in colorado

    Do you think he knew it had 4 long antlers when shooting it? I've had it happen with cow elk where it was a button bull. Happened once with a whitetail fawn also. It happens

    Northern California Recommendations

    Bodega bay to rockport could be a trip in its own. lots of small towns and food and hikes etc. shelter cove on the lost coast is neat but i usually only go there if im flying my own plane becuase the drive in is kinda long. all the parks around redwoods are nice. trinity alps in the shasta area...

    South Dakota mule deer

    It is already 2025. I posted current prices for all states. https://gfp.sd.gov/license-types/ The drop down 'big game fees' has the prices

    Wow that's old. Let us know what you hear back. I don't think many deer get near that old in my area..

    Trespass fee's

    How does one go about finding landowners that offer tresspass fees? Do people contact landowners and ask or are there websites that landowners post their land and price?

    South Dakota mule deer

    I can get behind this. What are the main issues you find? I've had a few of my favorite public land pieces turn into a grazing lease for cattle and all the wild animals disappeared. I come from a ranching family so I'm not against ranchers. Private ranches have a lot of the best hunting in the...

    South Dakota mule deer

    Fair enough. I hunt public quite a bit in other states and some in SD as well. Less pressure may help some deer be a little less stressed and make it through some winters they otherwise wouldn't have but it likely wouldn't have all that large of an impact. Less buck tags mostly just means less...

    The point Creep is ridiculous

    One way to increase tags without increasing supply is to decrease efficacy. More archery and less rifle. Less hunts during the rut. How much less effective would archery elk be if they weren't hunted while bugling? What if we shortened all the seasons? Less people are successful, but more...
