How was the area down there? I heard the Portal area has received lots of rain so I suspect the grass to be over 4ft tall.

Man, that is one scary story about the lion. Great shot! Great buck by your wife. Sounds like she won't forget here first whitetail hunt anytime soon.

Congrats on your first deer. I am new as well and just started hunting a few years ago. This will be my third hunt next week (second with a rifle). This site is awesome. I started reading on here a few years ago but don't think I ever posted. Very knowledgable people on here. I wish I would have hunted when I was younger. What a great time it is.

Wow, That is one nice muley.

Scouting does help a lot. We live too far and are just too busy during the year to make it down to scout. Very Very nice bucks. 6 out of 7 is great. We usually come up 1 out of 9 or so. Shows you how your hard work indeed pays off.

Congratulations. I will be going for my first deer next week in unit 29. Don't be too bummed about the 3 point. There will be more chances. Welcome to the board and can't wait to see your pics.

Very nice 3x buck. Nice shot at 400 yards.

Man, some people are just classless and ruthless. Hunters should treat each other like brothers.

I'm thinking about getting a mountain lion tag as there are many lions where I am going next weekend. What do you do after you shoot a lion? I'm guessing ya'll don't eat it. I'm sure it cost a lot to make a rug out of it, correct?

A two for. Very nice. that rack is perfect. Nice memories with pops.

Prayers on my end as well. My hunting partner in my group is not coming this year and I thought about going alone. This story makes me second guess my options. Take Care and I hope for a fast recovery.

Dang that is one wide spread. Very impressive buck. Nice job.

Probably not--Portal is way over in 29 if I recall corrrectly. Yes, Portal is in Unit 29.

How much are the tags? I didn't see it online anywhere.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I am new to hunting. Are lion tags over the counter? If so, how much are they? I plan on going way up high on our hunt next weekend where there are known lions in the area. Thanks

Nice. We will be hunting unit 29 next weekend. I can't wait. Looking for my first deer as well.

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie to this site and a newbie to hunting. I will be hunting for coues in a couple of weeks and want to know what the best grain of bullet to use for Coues. I appreciate all input. Thank you

Thanks for the tips. I will go with the 150 grain. My rifle is pretty rare so I want to shoot what it likes. It is a Smith and Wesson rifle that was special ordered by my grandfather (chief of police) in 1968. I've heard Federal is the best brand so I will stick with these. Thanks a lot...

I bought some 125 grain bullets for our turkey hunt. found them at Sportsman's warehouse.
