Photo GalleryTo see (and purchase) more photos from Bill Kinney, visit his web site here. How to tell the difference between a ... 3.5-Year-Old Buck
- Thickly muscled neck during the rut, but there is still a separation between the neck and shoulders.
- Chest/shoulder area now begins to look heavier than hindquarters.
- Overall look of an athlete in prime condition (good muscle tone but still lanky and lean)
- Back and belly are still flat and tight.
- Neck is now wider than the face, especially during the rut.
4.5-Year-Old Buck
- Fully-muscled neck blends into the shoulders seamlessly.
- No longer lanky or lean -- leg length is proportional to body size.
- Waistline has dropped and is now level with chestline.
- Tarsal glands are large and very dark during the rut.

Photo GalleryThe Gear Hunting mule deer out west requires a vastly different strategy than what I'm used to in the east. It's all about glassing the sage brush and oak thickets, stalking to a setup that will offer you a shot, and then taking that shot -- at distances that would make most eastern hunters cringe. This isn't a 50-yard game played in the woods, 150 to 300 yard shots are the rule. To make these long shots we were using Browning .270 WSM bolt-action rifles with Dura-Touch armor-coated stocks, shooting Winchester Supreme XP3 ammo with 130-grain bullets, and glassing with Swarovski optics. All proved extremely satisfactory. To book a hunt contact Elkhorn Outfitters at 970-824-7392; elkhornoutfitters.com. --JC

Photo GalleryWe dug these prints from our archives (from the '20s, '30s, and '40s). They were old, yellowed, musty, and not all came with caption information. So if anyone has any info on them, write it up in the comments section at the bottom of the page. We hope you enjoy them! --The Eds.

Photo GalleryYou want to score this season? Then you need to know that there are four distinct phases to the rut. There's the early pre-rut, from October 22 to November 1; the seek-and-chase period, November 2 to 13; peak breeding, November 14 to 25; and the post-rut, November 26 to December 5. Each phase has different characteristics, and each should be hunted differently. There are also key dates in every phase, prime days when you need to be in the woods, hunting your butt off. The slides at right tell you when they are this year, and give tips on how to hunt them. Study them, learn them, use them.

Photo GalleryFounded in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt, the Boone and Crockett Club can boast a list of hugely significant accomplishments, among them; the protection of Yellowstone, Glacier, and Denali National Parks; the foundation of the National Forest Service, National Park Service, and National Wildlife Refuge System; the passing of the Pittman-Robertson and Lacey Acts; and the establishment of the Federal Duck Stamp Program. It's a long list, and it gets even longer when you consider that each trophy the club records is another validation of the system it helped build, a sign that America's wildlife conservation efforts continue to be a resounding success because of the sportsman's support.
