I saw that. If it is the one I am thinking of it's an outfitter camp.

I am heading up Wednesday. I was up there scouting a week ago and was shocked at all of the campers that had nobody in them. It might be hard finding a camping spot.

Elk tag last year. I had a semi paralyzed leg that required surgery to correct right in elk season.

Used 2 nights last Jan as a blanket. I pulled the liner when I got it otherwise near new condition. It's too much bag for me $75 OBO

If you are a big guy or like to sprawl out they're the bomb!

LMAO! I quit those clowns a long time ago.

Seems a lot of guys are opposed to crossbows during archery season. I thought it was for disabled guys but I hear claims of just lazy people getting permits. Why doesn’t someone petition the department to get them out of archery hunts? this idea is going to go over like a turd in a punch bowl but they are going to have hard numbers on crossbow kills. Give disabled xbow hunters their own season and reduce the archery numbers by that amount. Not gonna change anything since they are already counting it as archery take.

Am I missing something or is it just speculation that spikes and forkies are being killed alongside the road.

If it falls through let me know. If the warden says it’s ok I am interested

I have no idea why they don't work.

Waaaaaaay back! Supposedly too many spikes shot and left to rot.

How many of you remember antler point restrictions that didn't work?

I hadn't thought of CA. Might make it even more interesting

It looks like opportunity is going to be less under the quota system. Can’t wait to see what the late desert hunts are going to look like.

Let the air out of the tires. It’s not a drastic difference it will do the trick most of the time

Okay. I don’t. I use a sight, rangefinder, release on my 300 fps compound

You got it wrong no tags. I recently lost 50% of my left arm. Just because someone doesn’t like crossbows during archery hunts doesn’t mean I am going to be sitting at home wishing I was hunting. I could give two shits what they like. I switched to a left hand bow. That didn’t work. I am going to try traditional. If that doesn’t work I don’t have a problem with a crossbow. Mouth tab? No way. 40 years of Copenhagen resulted in mouth reconstruction. I got too much money involved to risk shooting a mouth tab.

They are going to have hard numbers on weapon type. Since they already are being counted as archery kills reduce archery permits and season length accordingly. While we’re at it let’s ban compound bows. The use of scopes, sights, releases give them an unfair advantage over stick bows.

You have done too much for the hunting community. I will disagree but I won’t disrespect you

Give them their own season. Tighten up the rules

Lol! Time or circumstance is going to catch you guys. You will see things differently.

Who decides? I know my archery days are coming to an end but it’s my decision to decide when not someone else.

I sat and watched 2 big bedded desert bucks on top of a mountain lay there and watch hunters tearing the road up looking for deer. Saw a bachelor herd of 8 do the same thing. Both times rifle hunts. These guys have given some good advice here. Big bucks like the flats but if there are breakers in the area a guy can get lucky. Another often overlooked area is the transition area of a big mountain to the flats. There is usually a strip of vegetation there that is different than flats or mountain. Black lava rock mountains hold deer sometimes. There is a greenhouse effect. Moisture doesn’t evaporate as quickly and the rocks hold heat. There will often be greener browse there. I have pictures of big bucks feeding near the top of malapai mountains. Above all else, they gotta drink. No water no deer and they are where you find them Big desert mule deer can be impossible to pattern good luck
