    Late Season Gila/NM Temps... Help!

    This is awesome to hear. Thanks guys. Really appreciate the time. I'm going to grab a heavier Softshell pant from FL, and bring my insulated Danners. Now off to FL to make a purchase! Thanks again for the feedback.

    Late Season Gila/NM Temps... Help!

    Hi Guys, So I am heading to NM for a back country late season (mid Nov) Elk hunt in Unit 15 (Gila NF). I normally hunt back east, but do head west for pronghorn. My concern is that I am getting mixed signals about Nov NM weather! Some websites including the Forest Service are saying be ready...

    Meat Processors/Antler Shippers in New Mexico

    Hi Guys, My dad and I are heading out west from NH to New Mexico this fall for a late season ML hunt in the Gila (excited is an understatement) and I am trying to figure out how to get the elk antlers and excess meat home if we are successful. I have hunted out west before and with Antelope I...

    Wyoming Antelope with Wife - Unit 103 vs 18

    Thanks for the replies guys. based on your feedback I applied for a doe tag for my wife and a doe and buck tag for myself. I have 1 pt and last year that was 100% draw for 1pts so hopefully the 15th of June will bring good news. Thanks again.

    Wyoming Antelope with Wife - Unit 103 vs 18

    Thanks guys, I will make sure to apply for the doe tags at the same time then. Any thoughts on 18 vs 103 or any other 1 pt buck units where we are likely to score doe tags also.

    Wyoming Antelope with Wife - Unit 103 vs 18

    Hi Guys, So I am heading out west for speedgoats this fall... with my wife. She is a new shooter, new hunter, but fairly game for anything. I have one point and she has none and we are looking to apply where I have a good chance of drawing a buck tag and then she and I can both buy OTC doe...

    States that refund Licence Fees

    Is Utah's license fee refundable?? I didn't think it was from what I have read. Also anybody got any feedback on the Montana process and fees?

    States that refund Licence Fees

    Awesome info on both states. The regs just don't make it all that clear and I am trying to do research but it gets my head spinning with the various rules over 5-10 different western states. Thanks a ton ElkHunter24 and Speed!

    States that refund Licence Fees

    Hi All, I am a NH resident looking to make an annual hunting trip out west for big game I can't hunt back East. I am from the deepest woods of New England so this is a decent investment for me with tags, logistics, fuel, time off, etc, so I want to make sure I am going about this right. From...

    Groups getting wider!

    Hey JLS. Agreed on the cheap vs silly, but I was trying to get a decent amount of shooting done, had just laid out some serious cash, etc. But I have definitely learned that I should be working with what I hunt based on the results I had this time around. Won't be doing that again. I do also...

    Groups getting wider!

    Ok, so here are the photos from my experiment with the different arrows. All were shot after a day off and these photos show probably 14 out of the first 18 arrows shot (had some warm up shots and a flyer or two). I think this makes it pretty clear that the V Force Sport just aren't compatible...

    Groups getting wider!

    I definitely will only shoot my hunting arrows for the 7-10 days before the season just to tune up and broadhead tune but I am cheap and don't like banging up and ruining my expensive arrows all summer. I Try and match the spine and gpi but clearly that didn't work this time! If I wasn't so...

    Groups getting wider!

    Well I found the answer... I will post photos and info later but just spent the morning shooting probably 20 shots slowly and focused and the v force with the 300 spine (29 inches) shot an ok group at 30 (might be lucky) but poor at 10 and 20. Bloodlines with 340 spine shot (28.25 inches) good...

    Groups getting wider!

    Thanks Tuf! That may have something to do with it for sure, however I am taking breaks in between every 12-15 shots and on my weekends I shoot 2-3 times a day to get the volume but have breaks. I definitely think fatigue could cause some strays shots, but it wouldn't explain why I was having no...
