I use the Gold Tip Prohunter as well, usually with G5 Montecs, but occasionally still use muzzy 3 blade 100 grain.

I would not recommend Atcheson's for sheep hunts in AK. The only bad sheep hunt I had was booked through Atchesons, and they were no help. Claimed they knew the outfitter was having problems, and...

I have 16 of the 30, so more than halfway, but no real interest in completing a slam. BTW, it has been 28 species for some time, and adding a few subspecies to reach 30 doesn't seem necessary.
I...

You can draw too many tags in one year. It has been a few years, but I drew moose tags in three different states, and premium elk tags in two other states all in the same year. I know, feel sorry for...

Not much analysis in that article, but it is easy to see the possible problems with this research. Since B+C only records data on the largest animals, little is known about the overall size of...

You will always get a high percentage of "non-targeted species" photos. Just delete the photos of the cows and move on. It doesn't really cost you anything. Do not put them in a place where the cows...

I've killed elk with the following rifles, and probably a few others I don't recall offhand:

270 Win, Win 70 Featherweight, 140 grain TSX and 150 grain Nolser PT
308 Win, Win 70 Featherweight,...

I am a strong advocate for Kuiu. Don't worry if you can't get everything, buy what you can and supplement with Core4element. Really love the merino wool, and you won't be sorry you bought it. Today's...

Correct, most of region G closes on Oct 5. The areas that are open later have deer, but generally lower densities. Exceptions abound. What are you looking for? If any 4 point will do, you shouldn't...

Bill Molls is a first class sheep guide. Really don't know much about him, but met him in sheep camp a few years back.

Tag numbers set in May, way after the app deadline.

Fink has it right. A truly random draw is the only fair system. Yes, there will always be some hard luck case who can't draw a tag in a unit with 100 tags and 101 applicants. It has to happen to...

The lack of response and answers leads one to believe this was a high fence hunt. Unfortunately there are plenty of them in Utah. Wonderful bull, but a farm raised elk means nothing compared to a...

If you have put in for 40+ years without fail, then you have maximum points in WY. This gives you very, very good odds of drawing a sheep tag, and a guaranteed draw in some units. Can't think of...

Unless you have done a DIY float hunt for moose, there is no way to properly describe the amount of work involved. You will spend nearly half of each day breaking camp, packing rafts, setting up...

If you are looking for some shady spot next to a babbling brook for a camp spot, you won't find it in unit 90. But there is plenty of public land with only sagebrush where you can camp if desired. We...

You should be able to get $50. but if it isn't tanned not much more than that. A $100 raw antelope cape better be great, and should be fully fleshed, ears turned and lips split.

Access in 118 is reasonable, but you will have to pay attention. Most (not all) of the checkerboard is railroad land open to hunting, but some time on the ground would be helpful so you understand...

Great elk in 124, and good hunting. it is fairly open country,of course, which gives some archers pause. Not really a problem if you are a bit more creative. Biggest issue is many of the elk are in...

Access really isn't too big of an issue. There are plenty of areas you can hunt, and a 300" bull isn't all that difficult. This year was unseasonably warm and dry, and the elk were largely still in...

Even with max points your odds are only about 15%, given last year's applicants. Several groups pump this area as a great unit, so odds keep getting longer, not better as more people apply there. At...

And yes, our entire recreation budget is based around hunting and fishing trips. When I was a bit younger, we spent a lot more weekends just camping and fishing from our tent trailer, scouting and...

I guess I am a little old school for this discussion. Been married for 30 years and only ever had one checking account. My wife is frugal, as am I, generally, but we hunt and fish together as much...

There are zero tags available in the random draw for NR in unit 22. That means unless you have max points it is impossible to draw. This is even true of the Special drawing. It will be many years...

The Dromedary bags are heavier than the wine bladders, but also more durable as a result. If you use the wine bladders you have to be a bit more careful about punctures. A whole in any of these bags...
