Had to over come buck fever! Nocturnal arrow shot feature
thanks everyone for the views on YouTube and clicking the LIKE buttons. for those inquiring, yes, this hunt was on 100% public lands. DIY, no guide as all my hunts, adventures are. -
Over crowded Colorado units getting worse
back in the late 60's, early 1970's, I hunted a public land area of Snoqualmie, near town of Fall City, in WA State. Couple nice lakes, several beaver ponds, creeks with the main Snoqualmie river below in the valley. Hiked onto a vista, could view Snoqualmie Falls from 1+ mile away. At that... -
257 weatherby or 300 win mag
Over the years, 50 of them, I've shot bull elk with 270, 308, 30-06 and 300WM. all get the job done with good shot placement. But the 300 Winchester Magnum, 200 Gr Partition, and observing the results....DEVASTATING!! Never had a bull go more than 50 yards and most dropped in their tracks. The... -

Had to over come buck fever! Nocturnal arrow shot feature
Arizona OTC archery mule deer hunt, span of 15 days in December 2020. All on public BLM, FED, AZ state lands. After several blown stalks on 5 different bucks, finally a plan is successful. Imagine, buck fever at age 63! But got control, subdued the nerves, shaking hands & trembling knees in... -
Give them time or not? That is the question.
To your direct question, not your recent circumstance. For me, depends on what sign found at the shot location, how sure of shot placement and what I HEAR after the shot. I often see bucks and sometimes bulls drop within eyesight. Late in the day & hunting solo, if blood is bright color... -
3 day elk hunt
and better if you have local friends that when called will come and help pack or load the beast. -
Moving in on another hunter working a bull
This happened to my best bud in AZ just three years ago. Early archery unit 10 draw tag. After 18 years to draw, my friend decided to spend $7500 to book a top guide. Not an easy decision for his finances. 4th day of hunt, Guide calls in 7x6. The big bull is working into them... -
Archery Hunter Killed by ML Hunter
not surprised, this was bound to happen. 2 years ago, muzzie hunter aimed at me in unit 62. Guess my bugle, grunting in the timber was too convincing. heard a stick snap behind me, turned around and there was the muzzie hunter 50 yards away, his ML pointed at me. now I hunt before or after... -
First OTC Elk Hunt Failure
allow yourself more time, more days for the hunt. 5 days of hunt time isn't much, especially if you need to acclimate to the high elevation and thin air. -
What did you do today to get ready for archery season?
Packed up truck, shot bow w/24 arrows throughout the day to a bag target at 60 yards... leaving Wednesday 4 Colorado. -

Archery Elk hunting Solo in grizzly country.
per your earlier question... I move my processed/bagged elk meat, rear, front quarters, trim meat to an area at least 400 yards away from carcass remains. Hang as high in the trees as possible and upwind then 90deg cross wind of the boned skeleton. Envision a -L- path. Move bull head to another... -

Archery Elk hunting Solo in grizzly country.
I'd invest in a bear fence...sleep better in your backpack tent at night. Made my own, from farm feed store, after a blackie ran through a UDAP brand. -
The "if you were retired today" thread
I am retired now...don't regret the decision at all. Financially stable so no worries there. To be honest, having so much fun & enjoyment by hunting, fishing, camping, scouting, YouTubing, traveling and yes>>>golfing! But always golfed a lot anyways as my GHIN is a +1.2, still scoring around par...- mavinwa2

Panguitch Lake Muzzy Hunt
South & SE of Panguitch Lake gets most of my attention. The high elevation country, basins but I'm hunting general archery. Lots of does low near the forest areas, hills surrounding the lake. And I see few elk, very few elk when archery deer hunting. the trout fishing isn't bad either come fall. -
Mature bull elk circled down wind and busted me? Tips to avoid this?
this works for me too. Used this strategy a few times when solo. And most of my shots are short distance with the bull looking toward direction from where I had called. -

10+ Mile Days
hmmm, 10 miles per day in game country. In areas/states that I hunt, scouting maybe. And that is usually only 5-7 miles RT with good planning, optics. Hunting...never, my old legs couldn't take that day after day. Once camped, base or spike, if you're covering 10 miles per day, you're walking...
