Montana 2025 draws
This is what I’m really interested in, is how many will be unsuccessful with 2. 7 bonus points burned on a Missouri River breaks elk tag. I don’t care if it’s not what it used to be. Getting to hunt elk there and knock it off the bucket list is going to be incredible.- POk3s

AZ unit 8 late rifle elk/Sycamore canyon questions
You came here. Said the unit number in the title and then explained where all your “research” has led you to, in the unit, for all the world to see. Now while none of that may be “secret”, the hunting world just doesn’t react kindly to that kind of thing, on an open forum. I can’t say I’m any... -
CWD found in 2 more Upper Green River elk
I was going to throw out the C word in my response but I figured I had said enough -
CWD found in 2 more Upper Green River elk
I’m assuming that since I hunt in Western Wyoming, and your name is “Western Wyoming” that we both hunt the same, “home” elk herd. You’re right…each disease starts somewhere and this disease, again, was dirt discovered in tgr 60s. We are 60+ years from known origination at this point. I’ve... -
CWD found in 2 more Upper Green River elk
Any time I see “CWD” anymore I just roll my eyes. They’ve known about CWD since the 60s and it has never led to a mass die off. As mentioned above, they’ve been warning us about CWD for 20+ years now and how it’s going to decimate herds. Our elk herds, in Wyoming, are as strong as ever. I... -
MT - must apply every year!?
I don’t believe I asked any of that. I’ve been putting in for and hunting Montana for over 10 years. This year it says “I must apply in consecutive years” which is a change from how the regs have read. That was my question. I was very nervous my usual plan of putting in every other year was out...- POk3s

MT - must apply every year!?
Got it. Thank you! Mostly I was worried my 1 point I purchased last year was going to disappear before draw time.- POk3s

MT - must apply every year!?
I understand the difference between pp and bp, I just didn’t understand consecutive years when clearly, I didn’t apply last year but still had a point. I suppose that makes sense, but that’s now how I read it in the regs. As long as that’s the case then I’m good! Simply, I don’t want to gamble...- POk3s

MT - must apply every year!?
That’s still confusing. I also bought a preference point last year. It’s still there and I’m applying this year. For me that doesn’t fit the definition of “must apply in consecutive years”. Consecutive years means “every year”. Why is purchasing a point even an option??? I guess that’s what I’m...- POk3s

MT - must apply every year!?
As it states, when did this rule take effect? We’ve now had a few years in a row with silly rule changes. My apologies if this has been went over but I scoured both the elk forums and this one and didn’t see this answered. Regardless, I believe last year it was “must apply every OTHER year...- POk3s

AZ crypto bandits please delete
I also knew next to morning about coues deer. Both trips I’ve been on required a bit of a learning curve. When you boil it down to the basics, they’re a whitetail. If you hunt whitetail anywhere else you kind of get a feel for what they like to be in. Another boom I was going to buy but never... -
Semi live Coues ADVENTURE!
I have video of it semi broken but really I could go get pictures of it now lol. I need to send it in so it’s not fixed yet. It’s the first generation vortex pst. Really, I hate to blame that. That rifle has been bounced around in the side by side or on my side for over 10 years on every rifle... -
Semi live Coues ADVENTURE!
I scored him at 100 2/8”. Inwas a bit conservative on the crazy side and just scored him the smallest possible way, which is probably how it would be scored… but regardless I was conservative and not making up a way to score him lol. But yes, bet he won’t be anywhere close. Thank you! Of... -
Semi live Coues ADVENTURE!
Can’t say I didn’t bring some of it on myself but I feel so fortunate to come out successful in that scenario. It could’ve went south…it maybe should’ve went south but I am the proud owner of a great Coues buck after it’s all settled. -
Semi live Coues ADVENTURE!
Day 4 Same plan. Just different knob. I saw that other buck hit that scrape, I know there’s an active scrape, and I would like to get a better look at that whole area, including that buck if he’s still around. I did things a little different in that I got up earlier to hike in, in the dark...
