Look at me, look at me... I drew a moose tag.
I had a tag in ID a few years back. BLM cattle were in the unit and left there beyond the allowed end date so lots of black things with 4 legs milling around during my hunt. I hunted rut briefly but roads got greasy from days of rain and bulls were quiet. I vowed to outlaw all black cattle on...- LopeHunter

Who has done a diy mountain goat hunt in the lower 48?
Did a guided hunt in AK as that was the deal for that game unit. When I drew in CO, I did not go guided. I had my brother and two friends along. There were no roads that could get me to the top so had to go up from the base of the ridges and peaks. I think OR had roads to the top or near so is a...- LopeHunter

Should ya, Would ya, Could ya - Bear Den
I know I have the advantage as an armed hunter. Shooting at a great distance or at a sleeping critter does not give them much play for the game as sound/smell/sight are all but negated. Just brings in mixed feelings for some of us as weigh the nuances of hunting vs killing.- LopeHunter

portland Oregon area vacation options?
Head to the Coast. You have mountains in CO so no need to go to Mt. Hood. The Coast has the smell of the ocean, sound of the waves crashing, glacier-melt cold water, fresh seafood eateries in the coastal towns, scream of the seagulls, and salt water taffy. Do not turn your back on the ocean if...- LopeHunter

Jarbidge Hunting Area 071-079
I have hunted there over Halloween about 7 years ago so I guess is the late rifle deer tag that goes into the first few days of November. I used horses each time and covered up to 14 miles some days. Never saw a massive set of antlers during the rifle hunt and got a mule deer around 150", 4 x 3...- LopeHunter

How many points needed to draw AZ Javelina?
Could be. I have reminders set for all my applications including AZ. I get 2 points a year in AZ for some species and javelina is one of those. I will be a resident in AZ soon and will look at applying for bison, javelina, turkey, pronghorn, etc. Up to now, only chasing a tag annually for sheep...- LopeHunter

How many points needed to draw AZ Javelina?
Consider AZ a draw state for fall javelina if want to use a rifle or muzzleloader or pistol. Draw deadline is in 16 hours. Spoils go to the prepared. https://www.kdminer.com/azgfd-selling-leftover-fall-big-game-tags/article_d702f9d6-4898-5480-b739-5f2e17be97f3.html- LopeHunter

Oregon Draw 2023
I had to fix the pronghorn as no outfitter welfare on those. Tough place to justify. I have a ton of elk points I will let lapse as the NE units keep offering huge tag numbers for spike hunts messing with the branched bull tag holders plus predators have worked over the herd recruitment.- LopeHunter

Oregon Draw 2023
Oregon. 2.5% of elk and deer tags (outfitters get other 2.5% of “NR” cap) then 3% of pronghorn tags to NR in the draw is hard to get excited about though is a draw opportunity. Roosevelt elk used to have OTC options when I lived there if a hunter wanted to tick that box.- LopeHunter

Polaris UTV negotiation

Bucket List Trip done
I will add that being in Musee d’Orsey on a sunny afternoon was as memorable as any moment spent in Paris. I also trekked to a couple of apartments where Ernest Hemingway lived then had a few drinks at Deux Magots as people-watched. Body deodorant and daily bathing are optional in Paris it...- LopeHunter

Worst of the Worst
Fish out of water persons. The Eastern Whitetail assassin who hunted deer, perhaps farmed ones, over grain decides to expand his YouTube following by heading “Out West” to put the hurt on a big ol’ Wapiti. Will they head miles into public land to camp and hunt? Or, head to an Idaho ranch to pick...- LopeHunter
