    California Mule Deer (hybrid) Central Sierra/Neveda Mountains.

    I hunt it every year and have had good success on nice bucks. Need to scout a lot to find mature animals and it is a grind. Early winter storms that kick off the migration during season makes the best hunting.

    Area Biologist Questions?

    I think it is best to reach out when you have a decent idea of where and how you want to hunt and ask about those areas and tactics. If you’re not prepared with questions, you’re gonna get the same general information that is given to most that call. One of the most valuable questions that I ask...

    Info needed! Help me learn

    I think podcasts are a great resource. The Rokcast has a lot of great episodes on mule deer biology. The “hunt backcountry” has some gems if you go back through the archives, especially early on. Eastmans elevated has a few as well that can be helpful. Good luck

    Are Colorado GMUS worth it for 1st rifle elk?

    If you don’t have an extenuating circumstance that will prevent you from hunting, go out and hunt. There is still plenty of time to do research.

    Joseph von Benedikt vs Formidilosus

    What I find interesting is when people debate bullets selection it is almost like if you use the opposing bullet, it won’t work. Myself, I have killed 30+ animals with monos and don’t have much to complain about with them. however, I do find the match bullet argument quite compelling and would...

    Joseph von Benedikt vs Formidilosus

    I am surprised that there is so much dislike of JVB. Anytime I listen to him on his podcast I feel like he has well articulated justification for his views. I feel the same when I listen or read what Form has to say. The biggest variation in their opinions seem to be bullet choice and I would...

    Archery Hunting CO high country for mulies. Do I HAVE to glass?

    I think there is more strategy to hunting high and glassing than just providing good video content. IMO, glassing gives you the opportunity to find a buck that doesn’t know you’re there and strategize a plan to get in range using terrain and wind patterns. I think still hunting would be a...

    Projectile Choice: Lighter/Faster or Heavier/Slower

    This is a great question IMO. I was recently doing some load development for my 7mm REM Mag and was working with the 150 ELDx and 162 ELDm. The 162 has a higher BC but I couldn’t see a ballistic advantage out 1000 yards due to the faster MV from the 150. Both bullets were more capable than my...

    Hunting Turkeys Off the Roost

    It seems like my experiences are in line with everyone else. I gather that there is no secret sauce to guarantee success off the roost, I guess that’s why it’s called hunting…

    Hunting Turkeys Off the Roost

    Just curious on hunting Turkeys off the roost. Specifically, how close do you try to set up on the roost tree and how much calling do you do? My best luck has been setting up about 120 yards away, out of sight, and ambushing them. However if they decide to go a different direction it doesn’t...
