    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    I guess I'm a little confused? What kind of sheep tag or tags would you be lobbying for? Are you considering unguided tag or tags for limited, OTC, or both? I can understand why Alaska outfitters would be set against both NOK and nonguided tags I can also see where it would be an advantage...

    Bambistew, you might try posting on http://forums.outdoorsdirectory.com/forumdisplay.php/2-Alaska-Hunting The Alaska hunting website has quite a following and may key you in on some of the hurdles you may need to cross or are not aware of? They may also know some names of contacts that may...

    NR - AK unguided sheep/goat/bear

    How would you get around the guide requirements to do something like this? If it works, you might try the same thing raffling a nonres tag in Wyo wilderness (without guide) for sheep, deer, and elk. Guided sheep hunts in Wyo wilderness are going for $9,000 to $11,000+. In other states without...

    Colorado Public Land Merriam's

    West of Pagosa also has a pretty good concentration of turkeys. I'm not sure if they are merriams though? I live farther north on the Front Range. There are only a few scattered turkeys in miles of forest service so it's pretty thin pickings up this way. There are a few scattered flocks on...

    Elk Behavior Question

    Elk tend to spook to areas with the least amount of disturbance and hunting pressure. That often means lightly hunted private land or secluded areas away from roads in super rough country. Obviously if possible it's good to get up high and glass rather than hike and spook animals. One of...

    walking efficiently

    I tend to let my eyes do more of the traveling rather than my legs. When I was young (and fairly dumb) I used to cover as many miles in a day as possible. I often came upon running game tracks...I wonder why? Once I slowed down I started seeing more game rather than just their tracks...

    Colorado deer muzzleloader 4 days

    Scouting Depending upon the area you intend on hunting it may take 4 days to figure out access, where the pockets of deer are, etc. A majority of high alpine country in Colo has relatively sparse deer populations, some low or mid elevation areas don't have many deer until snow pushes them down...

    BackPack Camping/ Hunting in Wyoming

    backpack hunting I would caution you about diving right in and attempting a 2 week backpack hunt! My biggest word of advice would be head out to Wyo, Montana, or where ever on a week summer backpack trip....and bring your fishing rod! You will find out in a hurry that you are likely packing...

    Elk Rifle of Choice?

    I bought a Sako Finnlight 300 WSM a couple years ago. It is super light for hauling around, hardly kicks, with pretty much 1 shot kills on everything from Wyo antelope, dall sheep, mtn goat, bear to elk. For a light 30 cal it hardly kicks! When I first picked it up I could tell everything...

    10 Wyoming deer pref. points, what unit would you put in for????

    G and H The genetics in G and H rival any unit in Wyo. If you already know those units you have a lot going for you! There aren't too many units in Wyo that produce any bigger bucks than G or H. You better have a pretty good set of lungs/legs in G or H...you'll likely need it! It's...

    Wyo elk or antelope partner

    Buzz, I took my son hunting this year after drawing a tag using point averaging. I filled my truck up with gas before heading out on the trip. I assisted my son deciding which unit to apply for the tag and harvesting an animal. Sounds like I was a guide and that hunt was illegal! You are one...

    Boot question?

    I had a pair of Hanwags but they we're Alaskans. They were decent boots. My preference is Lowa Tibets for that style of boot. If I want a little lighter and flexible I grab my Scarpa Kailash. If I want a little lighter (and quieter) than Scarpas I'll grab my Lowa Renegades. Everyone's feet...

    Wyo elk or antelope partner

    I guess I'm a little confused in regard to comments above. "People like you solicit complete strangers just to use their points." Over the years I've helped quite a few hunters figure out strategies for drawing tags and helped them on their successful hunts. We shared incredible experiences...

    Wyo elk or antelope partner

    The are a number of positive aspects to point averaging which often outweigh the negatives. An applicant with a lot of PPs that parties with others loose all their PPs and start at zero the following year, thus dropping the higher PP total pool down and giving other applicants 2 less...
