    NV Archery Antelope tag

    Oh yeah.....and there are lots of Mormon Crickets this year. As creepy as it gets. Another reason not to sit in a blind at lower elevations! https://photos.app.goo.gl/Bf7Xhck6uKKS4xFQ6

    NV Archery Antelope tag

    At this point dryer weather may be better to concentrate the animals as there will always be some springs, etc. that persist through the summer. The less water running freely down creek beds the better. The mountains present a lot of different angles, so it's not a perfect N/S/E/W thing. Any...

    NV Archery Antelope tag

    I was in the areas south of 031 last weekend doing some deer scouting, and then drove by 031 on the way home. In the mountains that I scouted the creeks and water holes were pretty healthy, and the slopes were greener than usual. Lots of thunderstorms had and were moving though. In units...

    Trout Creeks Oregon Deer

    Since 1997 it's been a draw hunt for archery, and Traditional only for about 20 years. In recent years the tag number was unlimited, or high enough be available as a 2nd choice draw. This year they've reduced the tag numbers to accommodate about the number of typical first choices in the past...

    Nevada Unit 35 Archery Deer

    I think that Bloody Run is a waste of your time, as there are few deer. You'll be better off in the main Jackson Mtns, north of the Trout Cr Rd, exactly as the hunter info sheet says. Many drainages on the north and west sides have good habitat, but require walking to hunt them well.

    2020 Goats!

    Made a tough call on opening morning. Didn't expect to find a shooter in the first 20 minutes, and thought I'd be hunting for a few days. He's a good buck and I'll be happy to have him on the wall.

    Mule deer?

    I don't see anything, in particular, that would allow one to know exactly from the pictures. It's very likely that he's a hybrid because your region has so much crossover. His size, while really nice, is not big enough to dictate Mulie. I live in Clackamas County 20 miles east of I5 and I have...

    Tricks for walking on crunchy ground

    I've had many a successful stalk on gravel/rock/stickers by wearing soft camo pants, doubled up socks without shoes, and crab crawled with my bow on my chest. Even in situations where I could see the buck's face the entire stalk you have to be incredibly slow and patient. I've taken from noon...

    Unit 63 in WY

    LOL....I agree with the pink tutu comment. I hunted 69 last year and had to make a game out of not shooting the first dozen or so I found. I still tagged out by 9AM. Watch for the prickly pear cactus! Very low sage and very dry. Terrain is your friend.

    Ruby 101-109 Early Archery Hunt Advice

    I've done the 102 backpack hunt 3 times. I honestly don't think you need to "scout" unless you want to do a four or five day Ruby Crest Trail hike for the fun and learning. Everything you need to know is on the internet and on Google Earth. As has been said, there's pressure even far in....some...

    Oregon Whitehorse unit 68

    You will kind find a little agriculture in the unit, but not very much as it really is mostly jackrabbit country. Pivot near hilly BLM = opportunity. I just don't know how much pressure

    Oregon Whitehorse unit 68

    Well, all the deer are in the controlled areas that you can't access. A really tall fence keeps them in. Just kidding of course. But the reality is not so different. The areas outside of the controlled areas have much less "terrain" that deer like, and it's drier, flatter, and is pretty...

    10 day solo backcountry insanity

    Honestly I don't know how I'd fit 10 days worth of food. 6 to 7 has been my natural packing barrier.

    Unit 032 NV Mule Deer

    I hunted 032 Archery in 2017. Was very disappointed. I've successfully hunted the general area in Oregon and Nevada with bow and arrow for 35 years but never got up into the Pine Forest until then. I backpacked in to a likely basin. I found one single 3 pt in 3 days. I walked out and tried...

    Central Nevada weather?

    Ruby Mountains 1st week in 2013: Could have gotten by with a T shirt and one pullover. I way overpacked. Ruby Mountains 1st week in 2014: Needed every bit of gear. Rain, wind, hail, brutal sun, thunder, lightening........ However it was never below freezing. If Elko weather says "chance of...

    Washington State mule deer GMU 186

    This unit can seem big due to the steepness of the terrain, but in many ways it's very small. The ridge between Joseph Cr and the Grande Ronde has no water to speak of....you might get lucky but I've not seen any up high enough to be useful. The ridge/mountains between Joseph Cr and the Snake...

    Trad vs Compound

    Like a lot of other posters my compound shooting can be far more precise, but for me I feel more deadly with a recurve. When I mess up with the compound I don't know what state the arrow will land in. With the recurve it's more "analog": a little left, a little high, but still a kill shot. I'm...
