Anyone hinting out of state this year?
Im headed to CO in October with a friend from Ohio. We are elk hunting the 2nd rifle season. I also drew a mule deer tag. There are some really nice mule deer in this area and even a few 300 class bulls too.
Ill also be hunting around my home town in Ohio. Ill probably go over the Columbus day weekend, the tail end of our CO hunt, and ML season.

Nut, let see,, we got big deer now and maybe the biggest black bear in the world. Our turkey hunting maybe be the best in the northeast.. Perry you need to get out more and realize where you live. :) So here's a quest for you I bet no one has ever got the triple crown and been bit by a rattle snake in Pa. :)
From: Rut Nut

LOL! Yeah, and I managed to find the biggest, venomous and stealthiest Timber Rattler in PA!

rut, I grew up in PA and my brothers have a hunting cap just a few miles from where you commune with your snakes, haha. We came close to some big timber rattlers a few times as a teenager fishing the native streams!

Went to South Africa to visit some friends with my wife and another couple. It wasn’t really a hunting trip but I brought my bow along and managed to take this really nice old Kudu bull. Spent some time at Kruger where we were fortunate to see all of the big five as well as countless other cool critters. Great trip.

This guy was probably the highlight of our time in Kruger. My wife gets the credit for the photo.

Congrats Steke! Wow- how close was she when that photo was taken???
From: Stekewood

Thanks, We were on our way back to the lodge in the dark in the open air game drive vehicle and I saw something in the grass on the side of the road ahead of us in the headlights. As we got up to it I asked the driver to stop and he hit it with the spotlight. She was about 12-15 feet from him. A female crossed the road in front of us while we were taking photos and he mated with here in sight. It was quite a growly, snarly event. Very cool.

Wyoming elk as usual. Same thing next year since two friends will have enough points for 4 of us to draw general licenses. Bears in Saskatchewan in the spring of 2021 and Wyoming high country mule deer that fall. 2022 fly in Alaska moose and caribou and that one is all I can think about!!!

I hunted with Ken Wilson in Oregon. We had a couple close calls on day 1 and the morning of day 2. The evening of 2 day we spotted this bull and another in a fresh clear cut. We circled around to try to stalk in from above, when we were about 200 yards from the bulls, 2 spikes busted out of the brush making a lot of noise. The noise alerted the bulls and they obviously knew something was up. The decision was made to try a couple cow calls to calm them down. At the sound of the cow call they started straight at us. My guide laid flat in a skid trail in the clear cut, I quickly moved forward a few yards and knelt between 2 stumps. When the bulls crested the knoll they were in range, but came on the opposite side that I expected, I had to make an adjustment to shoot to my off side while kneeling. I drew as soon as I saw antlers above the knoll, they passed behind a log I had ranged for 38 yards, the lead bull paused for a second to look for the cow, I was able to settle my pin and sent the arrow on the way. The bull jumped over the edge of where we couldn't see, we waited a half hour and slowly moved to the edge of the cut and spotted the bull down, 35 yards from where I had shot him.

I shot the bull in the freshest clear cut in the center of this pic.

Good adjustment! Sounds like everything came together nicely! : )
Was gonna ask you how it was hunting elk in the thick timber of Oregon. Then you posted the pic. Guess it was much like a typical elk hunt out west.
From: Stekewood

Awesome! Congrats
From: huntinelk

The timber ranges from old growth that you could reasonably get a 20 yard shot in, to reprod stuff that you couldn't see 2 feet in, to the wide open clear cuts.
