Has anyone had any issues buying a Pennsylvania elk lotto entry? I am in my account on the PALS site, but can only see fishing licenses and other hunting licenses for sale...no elk entries as far as I can see. Unless Im missing something. Thanks much!
Thanks folks! I've looked at Big Agnes. For people who are a little more experienced than me, I was wondering if you think the big agnes Mountain Glo tents are cool or not? They have integrated LED lights that dont add much weight. Not sure if this is useful or just a gimmicky thing?
HI gang, hope everyone is having a good Friday.
I'm starting to prepare for my first backpacking hunt and wanted to see if anyone had any positive (or negative) experiences with certain brands of tents? I'm looking for a high quality tent. Curious if anyone has pointers on brand, size...
Good Morning Hunt Talkers,
I was successful drawing an either sex elk tag for unit 35, first rifle season. This will only be my second western hunt, so to say I'm a little green is an understatement.
If anyone is familiar with this area or knows anyone who's hunted this region, I'd be very...
Are you guys able to see specific elk tags in your profile yet? Im only seeing some code numbers which seem to point that i may have won a tag...just not sure which.
I saw about 8 or 9 elk in the Clam Lake herd back in 2012. Outside of Hayward. Seeing those animals up close is what set me down the road of learning about elk and eventually getting out to hunt them. That's so lucky you got to see them!
Funny thing is, the only reason i saw the elk is...
I've heard of this back door you speak of...and tried to weasel my way in through the website but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, or if it's just too early to know definitively.
Thanks Folks. I saw that date on the CPW page, but the "planned" post date threw me off. As always, you guys rock.
Sounds like my plan of attack may work out well.
Good Morning folks, from a newish elk hunter in the faraway lands of wisconsin.
Hopefully this is an easy question for the more experienced folks: historically, when do applicants find out whether they were successful for a Colorado elk application?
Any chance we'd know about Colorado...
COLO-junk, not trying to horn in on your specifics, but if we were shooting for the strategy I described, would you say it's best to put First Choice as something you knowingly will not win?
Thanks Everyone. I need to peruse and understand some of the data.
Here's another stupid question: I have zero points but would like to hunt first rifle season, any sex elk. Is there any loophole or strategy to be considered whereby I could gain a point, and also be able to hunt first rifle?
Hi All, I've got one year of experience in western hunting, and did a CO OTC elk hunt last year. Lo and behold i now have an addiction.
This year, I'd like to enter some CO lotteries for a first rifle season, either sex hunt.
My question is on second choices...are they viable? Have any...
Hi everyone, here's a couple of noob questions as I plan my first backcountry backpack hunt.
First off, when night falls and you finish a days' hunt, what does your normal post-hunt schedule look like? What do you do in the evenings? Do you typically build a fire or is it better to keep a...
Wisconsin hunter here, heading on my first western hunt in 15 days. Going to SW colorado in an OTC unit for bull only, second rifle season. Driving out with one of my oldest and best friends. Shooting a stainless winchester model 70 30-06 on this trip. We've got zero experience between the...
