    2017 General Season D15

    Usually a forkie is as old as they get in D15. Check out the stats in DFW. Imagine (2017) 5.8% success rate totaling 46 bucks. 34 are 2 points 10 are 3 points 2 are 4 points When you check the success rate...its very depressing. Only D8 is worse with a 5.1%. Out of the whole state which averages...

    Opening Weekend D zone

    All you need that is necessary is your tag secured to an antler. My first priority after securing tag is to get meat off processed for the freezer. If I see anyone who can validate along the way then great. If not, I generally wait until the next day and bring the head in my trunk to the local...

    camping supplies

    I imagine in the old days I would be able to drive my truck up to the kill. Now its all gated and no way I can drag a whole deer up and down hills for a few miles. my pack loaded with hunting gear going up. my pack loaded with deer coming down. If I get lucky, I stash all my hunting equipment...

    Mule Deer Hunting Advice

    Disclaimer-By no means am I a seasoned hunter. I realized I posted the last post at 11pm and I was tired so if it sounds douche please don't take it that way and I apologize. However, since the real hunters are out in the field...I figure any advice is better than being ignored. Good luck...

    camping supplies

    LBH2- with all the new goodies im excited for you on the camping trip. What store did you raid? Not REI-they only have space age materials (polyester) and some earth friendy wool. No way would they sell cotton thermals these days. Please take some pics and share some reviews with what works...

    NMD is still a road which will attract road hunters. Your best scouting there will be spoiled by them. Good luck tomorrow.

    Mule Deer Hunting Advice

    One can do that and that would show others around that you are either new or inconsiderate. Sometimes I like seeing someone bushwhack to see what gets kicked up and hopefully in my direction. Almost always that hunter never knew what they kicked up. But most of the times, I see it as desperation...

    2017 General Season D15

    Did you walk around? Does are cool if you stay in the car but if you open that door they'll bolt. I've never seen a buck from those roads though. Just park the truck and walk to a high ridge that you can see deer shelter and saddles and start glassing. That would be for early morning and late...

    2017 General Season D15

    I was scrambling for shelter at 845am. As soon as sun hit I knew I wasn't going to last all day. Called it quits at 11 and was out by 2pm. Saw group of 5 deer right at dawn and as soon as I switched to my rifle (450yds) someone took several shots. Never got to see if a buck was among them. Saw...

    Look out!

    Crotalus ruber....the red ones are the only ones you can't even pet. Although they say it has the least potent venom. The rest of the rattlers however you can take and a sport fishing license is not necessary. http://www.californiaherps.com/info/herpinglaws.html Thanks everyone.

    Look out!

    Quick check on the trail to see if the fires shut down my hunt location and I find this guy. I'd say 5 feet in length. Probably just ate. Was super slow and lethargic. Right before im going to spend the weekend bush wacking. Makes me want to run to walmart to buy a fishing license. Sent from...

    Multi Day Packs

    I'd like to give a plug to what our service guys use- USMC ILBE Marpat pack with assault pack. Used around $150 depending on condition of pack usually on eBay. I've used it and also have a friend who owns one also. No complaints with it-it just works. Consists of 3 items, Main pack (huge), a...

    Indian reservation regs

    Y Yup-that sounds about right. Issue with bow hunting at that area is game tends to wander off and that is high risk of losing game into the res or farm. Ill just hunt elsewhere.

    Multi Day Packs

    In regards to tripod, light is not good. Except in perfect conditions. Slight wind will make your scope shiver. I use a vanguard. It is heavy but i can throw either a rifle or spotting scope on it and know it wont fail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
