    243 for antelope

    243 with a 100 gr bullet for a pronghorn is more gun for the animal than a 338 Lapua with a 300 gr bullet is for an elk. If you are thinking about shooting more than 200 yards, practice with it at longer ranges on windy days. The wind always seems to blow when hunting pronghorn.

    Running elk/scent

    Smell is the one sense that an elk is going to trust most. You can fool their ears and eyes sometimes but you can't fool their nose. If the wind is in the elk's favor, they will smell you, even if running. If they are running toward you they will have less time to smell your scent than if slowly...

    I still hoping it will happen today. If it doesn’t happen until the end of next week, I’m going to be wasting even more time checking NM G&F website every chance I get.

    Cow Calls Into Bulls

    I think it is effective to move toward the bull. If the terrain allows, I will try to close the distance to the bull. If possible I'll move forward just once and then set up and call again. Occasionally I'll reposition several times while calling a bull. The closer you are to the bull, the...

    Guess the score!

    I'm guessing upper 160's. Might break 170 but not by much. Really nice looking buck.

    Do I really need a spotting scope?

    It is just your preference that matters. I would say it is not worth the weight but that is me. If you will shoot the first legal bull you come across then it is even less worth the weight. If you plan on looking over multiple bulls during your hunt and trying to judge antler size then a...

    Scouting tips for mule deer?

    I normally sit on my glassing spot for 2-3 hours in the morning but that varies. July and August are the times to be glassing multiple different locations. At this time of the year I won't glass a spot more than a day or maybe two if I haven't seen a buck that peaks my interest. I might return...

    New Mexico Archery Elk: Day-by-day format

    I like how it shows how it is psychologically challenging it is to keep hunting hard day after day. The show really captures the challenges one faces on a DYI Rocky Mountain hunt. Keep up the good work Randy.

    2016 Idaho Mule Deer pt. 2

    Thank you for sharing. Getting a buck like that anywhere is a real accomplishment but even more difficult on an OTC in Idaho. Congratulations and good luck this fall.

    New Mexico Unit 26 mule deer

    I would be cautious of camping in any of the boarder units but I don't think it is unsafe as long as you are aware of your surroundings. You will see boarder patrol during your trip. Boarder patrol is very aware of activities going on along the boarder and I would talk with them if I were you...

    Texas Mule Deer

    I hunted Big Bend Ranch State park a couple years ago. I didn't pull the trigger during the hunt but had plenty of opportunity. In three days of hunting I saw about 20 different bucks. I also did one of the whitetail hunts about 8 years ago. Success rates on these hunts are low because most...
