    Texas aoudad after the flood

    Along with feral hogs, aoudad can be hunted from helicopters. Generally suck to eat. Are an introduced non-native species. Have a significant negative ecological impact. Compete with desert bighorns and mule deer. If this story had been about a coyote or a hog would've you had this reaction?

    New Mexico Elk Hunters (Non Residents)

    Landowner tags that can be resold has always felt kind of wrong to me. Growing up in South Dakota, I definitely used and appreciated the walk in program. I do think there could be some NR price increases but honestly most tags in most states go to residents and tags are too cheap. I would...

    Utah Elk in December

    Drew a December cow elk tag. Latest I've ever hunted elk is Oct 3. Few questions I have.. Does the biologist note on elk below 9,000' sound correct? Significantly narrows down the search area in this unit. Would doing any scouting over the summer be worth my time or will everything be...

    Wyoming long range hunting debate

    This discussion seems to be focused on reducing long range shooting to reduce wound loss due to unethical shots. I think fair chase is more about giving a sporting chance and adding difficulty. This is more similar to banning drones, than archery, because it has the ability to improve success...

    Another dead Colorado wolf

    Of Coloradans that aren't hunters (and probably hunters honestly), I'd guess majority are not aware of the number of wolves introduced, the number of depredations, the mortality rate, the budget over runs etc. I wouldn't be all too optimistic that people would vote to stop the program, unless...

    Your first elk.

    My first elk was a cow. Killed it on a hunt with my grandma. First bull I killed was with my dad and grandpa. My grandma is older now and hunting is more difficult for her so we don't get to hunt together much. My grandpa passed away a few years ago. My dad and I now live 1000 miles from each...

    Where to go, what to hunt, first backpacking hunt?

    I'd agree with the comments on black bear and CA. The Sierras are arguably the most beautiful in the country. Very high black bear numbers. Deer aren't crazy good compared to some other western states but the OTC tag makes it easy. Low success rates largely due to most hunters only hunting...

    Digital Map Limitations

    My family has land and we have people hunt right up along a fence even though when we had it surveyed the fence was technically about 10 yards onto our property. I couldn't ever imagine trying to give a guy a hard time for that. The county plat map with satellite shows the boundary a bit in...

    Arizona Fall application season open

    I have family and plan to hunt somewhere in the SE part of the state. Units 29 through 35ish. I currently only have the one point in each from the hunter safety bonus points. If any of yall are going to be applying to one of those units where you got more than enough to draw, and wouldn't mind...

    First Time in NM.

    Did I miss where he said he had a guide? Or is it required for NR here or something? Lots of good preventative recommendations above. Other thing I'd say is just don't overdo it. For whatever reason, for me, heat doesn't seem as serious as the cold and I feel like I should be fine dealing with...

    When do thermals switch?

    I learned a ton about thermals when going through paragliding certification. There are some good videos out there by some of those instructors as it is pretty critical to safety when understanding where the lift is, rotor, valley flows etc. If someone were to search something like "understanding...
