Imagine a 257 Bob AI with a fast barrel to shoot the new 130+ grain bullets. They could call it the 25 CreedBuster.------SS

It would be interesting to see if there was actually any cases that set precedent for this. With today's new-fangled ways of hunting, you can literally pursue game from miles away using optics and hardly even notice the surroundings where you are. Anyone who can buy a gun and some bullets can...

They do the same exact thing. Choice is up to you how much 'cool' factor is worth. Apparently, I could never answer this question myself because I have both......and then some. Wouldn't part with any of them. -----SS 25-06AI, 25-06 (x2), 257 AI(x2), 257 RCBS, 257 Bob.

I totally agree. Nothing personal to those that like the red summer hair and the soft fuzzy antlers but Ill take a late fall coat and dark polished antlers every time. In my opinion, it isn't even a comparison. ----SS

Had a friend with the muzzy tag last year. He is a good hunter and had good help. Saw a lot of decent bucks but never found a next-level deer. He ended up taking a really old, cool 3 point that he was happy with. I think he hunted all but a couple days of the entire hunt. From the pictures he...

Congrats to all the lucky tag winners!-----SS

Yep, I meant EHD for sure. CWD must have been on the mind because I've been reading about it lately. The Unit 18 herd was wiped out by the respiratory disease spread by flying insects near water. The one in the photo bled to death from a hole in the lungs but I did see several deer, especially...

I'm surprised anyone even cares about managing pronghorn in Utah where its all about the 375" Elk and 200" bucks. I actually chose Pronghorn as my first LE tag and got a few headshakes. Apparently, you are supposed to go for elk first and hunt pronghorn in Wyoming. Then go for deer while you are...

I agree with THIS 100%. I'm glad Wyoming is leading the way and my own state is now passing similar laws that benefit the residents of my state. I hear NR shed hunting was pretty much the dominant conversation in all of our CAB meetings this year. States matter. They have borders and laws that...

18 is really tough on public right now but there are still a few big whitetails that can be found up in the mule deer country. CWD wiped them out bad a couple years ago and the low county deer down on the private got hit the worst by far. Might be pretty good for picking up dead heads if you...

Sucky hunts are the only ones where I can kill a nice buck. I always whiff on the supposed "good" tags. Go beat the odds and have the hunt of a lifetime on your lucky, sucky tag. Best of luck!----SS

That's a great buck your daughter got! Congrats to her on a great trophy and a buckle to go with it. ---SS

I was looking at a study on whitetail expansion in southern Idaho and noticed some data points pretty close to the Nevada border. I've spent a fair amount of time on the border, especially in the Northeast corner, and have never seen a whitetail or even heard of anyone sighting one. I know that...

I was wondering if we had any past NV Big Game Records Buckle winners here on MM. I helped a friend this year with a buck that would have ended up getting him the Bronze buckle for typical if he had entered it. I've never even seen what the award buckles look like and was wondering if anyone on...

Non-Resident: Wasatch East General Deer Long Shot LE Deer, Elk, Antelope. 12 elk points, 8 deer/pronghorn. Long, Long, Long shot at OIL stuff. 19 Goat points. 8 for everything else. Looking forward to glassing my favorite oak patches on the Wasatch East this year! I'll be there for the season...
