I’m not disregarding the unit you suggested..my boys really want to try for a cow elk so we have applied for a type 6 tag for them in unit 16..if we don’t get drawn it won’t matter but if they get drawn for the cow elk tag and get a couple cows in late September I was unsure how we could travel...
I was an idiot and didn't buy any antelope points. Really didn't start getting interested in antelope hunting until the last couple months...we have 1 point for deer and 2 for elk. We put in for a type 6 cow tag in the Laramie region..was thinking of trying for an antelope tag for them if we...
hey guys, I'm looking at antelope areas around Laramie, Rawlins, etc. Does anyone have experience with Units 63 or 52? I would pay the special price for my sons if one of these units is worth it? Both seem to have decent amounts of public land...are these units worth the special price? We've...
Does anyone have any experience with deer hunting in Unit 82? I know there’s a lot of deer killed there but The harvest report says there’s lots of hunters. If we get drawn was thinking of hunting the week after the opener..however was concerned the deer would be scarce due to the pressure..not...
Hey guys, I think I've put more time into researching application strategies, hunting ideas, etc the last month than my own job! I'm looking for some advice/opinions.. My boys have 2 preference points for elk, they're 15 & 17 and are experienced hunters, we've been on one elk rifle hunt DIY...
I’m sure there’s elk in units without burns..I hunted a unit last year in Montana without a burn and we seen elk..I’m just curious if people choose units that have burns over another unit that has the same pros/cons.
Hey guys, hope everyone has a good application season! I’ve been studying tons of general units in Wyoming for elk.. Something that’s been on my mind is units with new burns vs units without any or recent burns. Would you guys be more willing to choose a unit with a 1 year old burn vs a unit...
That was a large fire in unit 94! Wonder if that’d be a good burn to hunt in 2019..I’ve heard and read where some burns can be productive the very next year but also they can take a couple years for new vegetation to start growing due to the fires intensity or level of heat..hows the hunter...
Hey guys..I’ve appreciated everyone’s advice to me over the last year..went on my first elk hunt with my 2 teenage sons in Montana DIY this year..didn’t get an elk but was an incredible experience..this year we will have 2 pref points going into the draw for Wyoming. I’ve looked at SE general...
Hey guys..i’m coming to hunt my first late season elk hunt this weekend in SW montana.. Dillon area..does anyone know if the elk have moved to lower elevations yet? I’ve heard there’s not a ton of snow from what I’ve been told.. Thanks again for any advice or pointers...I’ve learned so much from...
Hey guys..we are flying to Montana in a couple weeks to elk hunt! Anyone have any experience flying with a gun?? I’ve heard some ship their guns UPS then pickup at their destination.. any advice?? Which is better fly with guns or ship? Hope everyone’s season is going well!
Thanks!!
Thanks for everyone’s replies! It’s expensive for myself and my 2 teenage sons to hunt Montana, 80% of the elk we seen were on private. Would anyone recommend a general Wyoming unit for a cow elk hunt next year or even a limited entry unit for a cow elk hunt. We just want to get an elk..anything...
Hey guys..just got back from my first ever elk hunt in SW Montana. It was a lot of fun, see tons of big game and tons of people..didn't get an elk but the experience was awesome. I'm curious to know if anyone has had a general Montana elk tag and a general Wyoming elk tag...I've got some points...
Gun season is fast approaching! I wanted to get opinions on elk hunting Montana elk units 329, 328, & 302. I’ve done a lot e scouting for several months and I’ve never stepped foot in any of them. I’ve noticed that 329 isn’t as rugged but more forested than 328 & 302. My question is would you...
