Elk Hunting High-Pressure Areas
A great deal of elk hunting here in Wyoming, and other states, is done not only on public land, but is also on lands where the hunter can simply buy a tag over the counter and head off into the mountains.

First Deer on Massachusetts Hunt
This is my first deer and I got him on December 9, 2008 as I was driving home from work in Gramby Massachusetts. I had seen him in the field I have been scouting. So I went home, got my gear and got into the woods. I had him at 75 yards with my shotgun but didn't take the shot so I waited.
