    Is there any benefit to showing up in person at and IDGF regional office? Would that put you to the front of the line? May schedule a work trip to Boise

    Final Rise - New era of upland vests

    I saw the writing on the wall with Wings Works and ordered a spare vest years ago--will probably be good for the next 20 years. I have inspected final rise extensively--I think wings works are built tougher but for folks with no vest and needing one I'm sure they fit the bill for the avg upland...

    SD Archery Draw

    Of course I didn't draw, if there were 99% draw odds I would be the 1% that didn't! Ugg, oh well. Looking forward to the Unsuccessful emails that will come from other states this week and next.

    Future of Muzzleloader hunting

    I believe Utah allowed any power scopes on Muzzy's in 2016.

    Wyoming NR Special increase headed for the Gov's signature

    I don't think this new special price increase will do much to improve the elk draw odds for the guys willing to pay. Guys can substantiate $2K for an elk. What I do see is the Antelope odds getting a lot better for folks willing to pony up that kind of money for a stink goat. Deer will...

    SD Archery Draw

    I love hunting SD and appreciate the opportunities that they have for nonresidents. I hope the commission separates out the archery public land WT from Muleys but if they do not, I'll adapt and plan accordingly. Everything changes and ya have to roll with the punches. States favor their...

    SD Archery Draw

    If anyone wonders about the WT vs Mule deer archery tag issue, I sent an email to the SD DNR. I will paraphrase their response: The commission isn't looking at separating the OTC Public Land WT from the Mule Deer meaning if you want to hunt WT on public you will need to draw one of these any...

    SD Archery Draw

    Can you show me where SD archery deer tags have been broken down to 'any deer' and 'whitetail' deer separated? My understanding is that they have never been separated like the West River rifle tags are. Since the commission announcement didn't explicitly state that archery WT deer would still...

    SD Archery Draw

    I am sad that SD is going to a draw for archery deer tags on public. I love hunting that state and it's been my fall back plan state. I live out west so my interest in SD is Whitetails. If SD is concerned with Muleys then have the draw be for Muleys archery tags and not all deer tags--just a...

    Heart attack?

    My step dad had a heart attack a couple years ago, chest pain, he didn't want to go to the ER but my mother made him where stints saved his bacon. Couple months after hearing about that I am woken up by some chest pain I had never experience before. I'm in my late 30's at the time and in good...

    Nevada mule deer

    This is basic map stuff--head back over to highway 225 then head south to Elko. From there you can swing around on the east side or stay on the west side.

    Attacked by a Cow Elk!

    I decided to take the bird dogs out for some grouse hunting over Labor Day weekend into the Mountains. Hunted a new to me area and found an amazing number of berries and great habitat but few birds. On the last hit of the day, I was running Boss and Duke, both solid Pointers. I got a point...

    Wyoming Sage Grouse

    Make sure you are in an open unit--sage grouse unit 2 is closed and Casper sits on the edge of the unit. Generally in Wyoming (unless you know of honey holes) the best way to find grouse is to drive around all day until you come upon a road covey. Early mornings and near water holes are the...
