    NV Coyotes/Bobcats

    I've traveled through the desert from Bishop, CA to Vegas quite a bit to fly. I've always wanted to hunt coyotes and cats on my way, but I always had to rush. Anyways, look for water and look for jackrabbits. You will find coyotes and bobcats near both. The mouths of canyons, the base of...

    Kentucky Elk Hunting

    Is there anyone on here who has gotten a cow or bull tag and hunted in eastern Kentucky? I'm moving out there to be one of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife's elk biologists and I am excited to hear eastern elk hunting stories and to learn what hunters perspectives are on the current management.

    Spring bear suggestions

    I'd consider hunting bears spot and stalk in the eastern Sierra Nevada of California. It would be a long drive for you, but the bear density is high. The country is gorgeous too. You can find bears as far and as close to the road as you would like. Hound hunting and baiting are prohibited. The...

    Running Bobcats vs Lions

    A houndsman I know well told me running lions is like building a corral out of railroad ties and running bobcats is like building a violin. I love the analogy, but do other houndsmen think the same thing? Should I look for another houndsman?

    Harvest the beaver or not?

    I'm interested in harvesting one or two beavers for their meat and pelt. I missed a chance to shoot what looked like a large male because I wasn't quick enough with my gun. After a few hours of waiting, a small beaver (maybe female) popped up. I had a clean shot at 10 feet, but I couldn't get my...

    What kind of data would help you hunt bears?

    There will be a report on the CDFW region 6 webpage hunters will find useful for hunting bears in the eastern Sierra. Hopefully it won't be too overwhelming. Denning strategies of black bears vary by region. The wild bears in my area tend to den in rock piles, hollowed out trees, and under...

    Wish hound hunting was still allowed!

    What kind of data would help you hunt bears?

    There is a lot of information out there on how to read black bear sign and about black bear ecology. I'm interested in additional data/information people think would also be helpful for hunting and viewing black bears. Read the list below for the type of data I think might help bear hunters. A...

    CA Mule Deer Tag Reduction - severe die off

    That's a good question. I don't cover that area, but I'll see what I can find out from the biologist that does cover that area.

    CA Mule Deer Tag Reduction - severe die off

    I cannot speak to the other regions' deer populations or habitat conditions. However, one of the longest running studies done on an ungulate species continues in the Eastern Sierra Nevada (Region 6, north). The CDFW Region 6 webpage highlights numerous scientific publications that paint a clear...

    CA Mule Deer Tag Reduction - severe die off

    Hi All, The number of tags for some of the premium zones (X9A, X12, X9B, and X9C) will be significantly reduced this year due to the severe winter die off. Many deer died of starvation and were easy pickings for mountain lions, coyotes, and bobcats in the deep snow. I am not the main biologist...

    Google Earth Layers for Montana Hunt Zones?

    Nevada Dept. of Wildlife provides google earth layers for their hunt zones. I find those layers very helpful for internet scouting. Does anyone know if Montana FWP provides google earth layers for their hunt zones? I can't find the layers on MT FWP's website if they do.

    Don't overlook CA for big bear

    This is an old thread, but I'd like to bring this topic back up. The hunt zones in the eastern Sierra Nevada (X9A, X12, and X9B) are well known for muley hunting, but our bear hunting is under rated. The bear population has grown dramatically in the last 10 years. The habitat provides for...
