Mulie if you want you can pm me for a little info. I had the tag last year as well as my father. A few things to expect: If it rains hard, most of the roads can get very soupy and somewhat challenging. Just go up and scout the most you can. Have a quite a few back up plans. To tell you the truth I was somewhat dissapointed with the hunt overall last year for different reasons. It is a good hunt though. My advise is take care of your body the best you can (hydration, food, feet) I would highly advise that you hunt sun up to sun down. I noticed people hunt the morning and then don't hunt till late afternoon. Do not do that. You will be able to kill bucks during the mid day because many people will "put them to bed" and come back after lunch expecting them to still be there, unless you shoot em. The bucks will still be going crazy in the middle of the day. If your going for the whole hunt and using coolers use a combination of dry ice and block ice. You cannot bring enough ice to keep meat cool. Anyway we both killed bucks and had a blast. If you want more info let me know. One more thing about the draw..... First time I put in for antelope was 2002 for 19B and got drawn. 2010 Got drawn for unit 10 with my father, he and I both had ten bp. I have drawn 12 turkey tags im 25 years old and started putting in when I was 16. Anyways I don't pay attention to the whole bp bull, guys put in for 30 years and never get drawn, people draw the tag he is trying to get with 5 bp. Guys draw 13b deer tags with 8 points, get 9 archery bull tags back to back, guys get archery antelope tags 3 years in a row. My point is if you get the tag with 19 bp congrats, if not don't be so suprised, I could be wrong but I thought it was a lottery draw type system. "The draw is crazy ...... so get crazy with the draw" think about it.

ok here is the deal. Absolutely post the pictures because once the problem is confronted the sooner it will end. Also many people personally know "dirtbag" hunters and could possibly provide you with a name or a number. Honestly I wouldn't be concerned about posting their picture and them seeing it. Or email it to some people you know on here to get some help. I would hate it if one of my cameras were stolen because they are expensive and we work hard for what we have. If you want my email let me know id love to help there is only a couple dirtbags that I know that hunt 23 in august. One more thing if I saw someone open my trail cam and mess with my sd card they would end up flattened real fast. Its not yours so don't mess with it. plus if you take those sd cards and put them in your cam it can reformat it and then he won't be able to see them in his digital cam. Im with Johnny on this one. I don't sift through my neighbors mailbox to see what they got. I don't search through my buddies text messeges when he's not looking to see if any chicks sent him good pictures and then tell him he's on to something...... If you really want to see someones pictures ask them or leave a note. let me know if I can help

Pine mountain, Reimer spring. Get off the road and you'll kill one.

Rage broadheads are good and they have generally a great reputation. I have found that sometimes the blades do not stay in place. +1 I would not shoot through mesh with them. I like grim reaper mechanicals a lot and if you are going to shoot through mesh with them open the blades before hand and they fly better. The past few years I have been shooting Shwacker broadheads which used to be Sonorans. Anyway they are awesome. Shwackers fly better than any mechanical out there period. They are not loud in flight either. ++++++++1 on Shwackers all the way.

Sorry OZ didn't mean to make you so upset. Maybe I put in in the bowhunting section because a significant amount of whitetails are shot from a treestand or blind. I was addressing the when people calling mule deer carp deer, but also using bait to kill whitetails and how they too could also be called carp deer in my opinion. I partake in both but I was just seeing some opinions

Ok sorry but I have to start this up. I have been hearing a lot of talk about carp deer being mule deer. I love both species but I don't understand why mule deer are being put down. When I think of the word carp I think of something easy to catch. All you do is throw some bait out and keep reeling em in. Speaking of bait I have caught many carp using bait especially corn and dough with ground corn in it. hmmm..... Also I associate carp with water obviously. Also to my knowledge, most carp species don't migrate very far at all during the spawn so you can usually find them in the same place on numerous occations. So you see where im going with this? If one of these species is gonna be called carp deer , which I refuse to call either, it would in fact be the whitetail. I don't know about you guys but I think there are ten times as many coues deer shot over corn or bait than mule deer each year. All you got to do is throw corn out near the oaks and throw a camera up and a blind grab your bow, and like clockwork they will show up, some even give or take 10 min. If you guys have muleys coming in like crazy to bait I guess I will have to buy some from ya. Same goes with water. Whitetails for some reason water in my opinion far much more than mule deer do. Whitetails are much more predictable as well as always coming back to the same spot and not traveling far. I have seen mule deer bucks over 8 miles from where I first saw them. I don't know maybe everyone is refering to the taste. I have had great tasting deer from both species as well as bad. Sorry guys had to get this started. Thats just my two cents I hunt both species and love both but if any deer is a carp deer its a whitetail. Sorry admin.

lol You guys are awesome. Good stuff.

Great feedback and opinions guys thanks. Yeah it just seems like everyone and their brother throws corn and feed out every summer then come August they slay giant coues bucks because they get them on a patern. I am talking straight archery here not rifle. Yes coues are harder to glass. In the rut, spot and stalk I personally think mule deer are more of a challenge. I guess I need to pick out a barrel cactus and wait for a mule deer to come and get water from it. Yeah from what I hear if your near oaks try corn. I think mule deer like salt or mineral licks more than coues because they have different nutritional requirements because of anatomy reasons. Yeah I don't know what to tell you about a buck that you have been after for multiple years, do you have multiple pics during a long time period? Or just a few sightings? Great coments Jumbo thanks.

My personal favorite "carp deer"

Great job buddy! Great video. Nice bucks man congrats. Now its time to start shootin the bows to get ready for Jan. Talk to ya later.

This year has been a great year ! All tags are full and now its just a waiting game until Jan. I got this buck on the 5th day of the hunt which was Tuesday Oct. 26th. I named a buck last year Joker because of his abnormalities in his left antler. His left side was a single beam that traveled town towards his nose 3 to 4 inches and then curled upward with about 2 or 3 inches of verticle curl. His right side was about a 7 inch main beam that had a baby 2 inch fork. One question is could he have grown this much in one year? I am more than grateful that I was able to harvest such a nice buck. Here is the big question how should I measure the left antler? Which point would be considered the main beam? Give me your input as far as measurements. G 2's? G 3's? Which is which? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the thoughts Amanda. About his age I would personally guess him at maybe 4 years old +/- . Has all of his teeth and are not worn at all. Still sharp. I think this would have been his first year of maturity. He did have a heck of a lot of fat on him though. I was very surprised. Maybe it was because I just shot an antelope in sept. and he was like a skeleton. Im still in shock and super pumped about how unique he is. . All I have to do for the whitetail now is bleach and whiten the skull. Lookin good though. Thanks ALL

Thank everyone I appreciate it!! Suggestions on left antler measurement? Mass measurements? G2's 3's? . . . . Not what you think it measures but how you would measure. Whats what? Thanks!

Here are some pictures thanks for your input.
