    Gonna burn my CO Antelope Points....Unit 87 or 88???

    IMO to have 2 tags in 10 years is better than only one tag. Ten years of applying doesn't mean the creep wont keep you out of the field for another 3 or 4 years so I vote to hunt as much as possible.

    How Much Time do You Really Have?

    There is never an issue till there is one, all one can do is to work diligently and be knowledgable. The first half of Sept in southern NM can have 85 degree days and 65 degree nights, time is of essence. In my opinion 85/65 temps and in PJ country will give you 24 to 36 hours, IF you can keep...

    DIY NM Off Range Oryx HELP

    Take the time to go drive everywhere and I mean everywhere, glass until your eyes hurt. Take a few hikes but not too many, just to get the boots broke in. Look for tracks along fences and around water, after you do that then do exactly the same thing for your hunt, no big deal, just lots of fuel...

    LOOK AROUND!!!

    I totally agree!! When young I thought I knew what I was experiencing in the outdoors, I definitely embraced my journeys whole heartedly and eyes wide but as I aged I slowly realized that there was so much more that I was just passing by. I finally realize that I have been unknowingly...

    What's your favorite part of a hunt?

    I agree with being present and in your preys world, also persevering thru adverse circumstances. When I start planning and looking at maps I have already started melting into the animals terrain and it's thought process, I am constantly bouncing back and forth from predator and prey, searching...

    2022 ALASKA MOOSE 14-DAY DIY (and a preseason 10-day float)

    I just saw your story and enjoyed every bit of it, also congratulations on your bull and the window of opportunity! I often feel the ups and downs of mother nature are big part of what enhances the adventure, generally it's a known factor but often the extent of Wx is way more than predicted...

    WHAT IS IT???????

    One dark morning on a turkey hunt I nestled in to this perfect spot to wait for the sun to come up, after a bit I got up to take a leak and as I walked back to my comfortable spot I couldn't help but laugh out loud.......and take a picture!

    New Mexico officially bans scopes

    I am not sure what unit it was but Kuiu just sent out a muzzle elk hunt video, 1st shot was something like 548 yds, he missed only because he didn't compensate for wind drift, the hight of the shot was perfect. The 2nd shot was over 4 hundred and he killed the elk. I am very sure based on my...

    Bird Dogs & domestic chickens

    My pointer can not be around our chickens, the reality is that he should be better trained to never chase birds but the dog has caught numerous birds in the field and it's been a major detriment at the beginning of the season.

    Italy/ Europe

    I was in the Umbria region a few years back at an old rock house (airbnb) it was at the end of a road in the backcountry. I took hikes and found an abundance of wild boars, I didn't have a weapon but I am sure if I had a bow it would have been a very fun hunt!
