Elk and Mule Deer in Texas, New Mexico and Old Mexico

After we leave Texas and the enclosure elk hunt, I’ll be going to New Mexico to guide elk hunters for Mossy Oak. I’ll probably purchase a black bear tag to hopefully be able to take a black bear after the person I’m guiding fills his elk tag, depending on how many days are required to get my hunter the elk he wants to take with a bow.

August Hunters Can Take Hogs, Elk and Deer in California

I always tell my hunters to take as many hogs as the number of arrows they bring and the amount of money needed to buy as many hog tags as they want to take in California. We have a year-round hog season in California with no limit on the number of hogs you can take. But you do have to have a big game hunting license and a hog tag. If you want to purchase

Elk, Blacktail, Hybrid and Mule Deer Hunting in August

My first hunt was on August 1, and I was guiding a bowhunter on a private land management program. The State of California, in conjunction with outfitters and landowners, has a program that allows the landowner and/or the outfitter to improve their lands for wildlife. Then the state allots the landowner or the outfitter a certain number of tags, depending on the amount of property that he or she has improved for wildlife.

Early Season Bowhunting in California

According to Cremeans, “Most of the country’s early bow seasons are in September and October. However, here in California, our bow season for Columbian blacktail deer begins the first of July, and we can offer some excellent blacktail bowhunts during July and August."

The 300-inch Bull Elk from Gila

I've called in quite a few bulls for other people that have scored 250 to 300 inches. My hunting buddy, Dean Sanchez, and I were hunting the Gila National Forest. Dean had an elk tag and I didn’t, so I called for him.

Troy Grogan’s Long Shot Bull Elk

In 2015, I drew a limited entry elk tag in Utah in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This is the area where I grew up, and where I hunted most of my life. We knew all the roads there, and where the bulls usually hung out. This hunt was at the end of August when the elk weren’t bugling very much, but we had heard this elk bugle. I decided to go check him out
