New Mexico Elk and California Bears

My favorite thing about elk hunting is calling the elk in to a bowhunter. There’s nothing quite like hearing an 800-pound animal screaming out a bugle as he’s coming to you, thinking you’re another bull elk trying to steal cows from his herd. Most of the time the bull elk coming in already has determined he will beat you up if he finds you. Hear what that's like.

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.

3 Advantages of Fall Tree Planting

It is now possible to plant trees with success any time of the year. Generally speaking, the traditional planting time for folks in the South is February through mid-March, and folks up North have to wait for the ground to thaw in the spring. These still remain safe and reliable tree planting times. However, with the advent of containerized, air-pruned seedlings, such as those from Nativ Nurseries, seedlings don’t have to be dormant to be

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

My Biggest Bull Elk Hunt

with Troy Grogan I was hunting in the Gila National Forest on September 18, 2011. It was the last morning of my hunt.

But toward the end of the hunt, the elk weren’t bugling as much as they were at the first of

Gila National Forest Bull Elk Hunt

I hunt all public lands whether I'm hunting in Utah or New Mexico. I've taken the most and biggest elk in the Gila National Forest - a huge area.

Field Judging Black Bears

Ask any experienced hunter and they’ll tell you that black bears are among the most difficult big game animals to field judge. Part of that is because they’re far less common than deer, so hunters just don’t get much experience seeing them. And part is just the nature of the beast. Any large, black carnivorous animal will look big, especially if you don’t have something for scale nearby.
