I understand that. The problem is trying to hunt Montana and build preference points at the same time. If I put in for the draw there’s too many things that can go wrong for me to not get the LQ tag and also have zero preference points again next year hahahaha
This is how I understand it too. Honestly I’ll probably be able to figure it out here in a bit when the apps open up. But I wanted to jump the gun as I was pondering it all in my head lol.
So I can’t hunt deer without using my points, so I can’t bank preference points for my future elk tag...
Okay, to keep it brief, here’s the boring backstory. I have 3 bonus points going into the elk draw. It’s really quite possible I can draw. I of course have to draw the elk combo license or start with points on that side of the fence.
Here is my thinking and my questions. I love hunting Montana...
There’s little doubt to me that if there was a sub category for Pope and Young that awarded the smallest pronghorn antelope ever recorded, I would be dang close to having the title! With that said, it didn’t much matter to me. I’ve killed probably close to 15 antelope by now, and love it so much...
Well this was a good read :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Bob, if youre looking for giants youll have to go hunt grizz country with the points you have. More 380" + bulls come out of there than anywhere. Steep, demanding country and add in the bears it's not for the faint of heart. The bighorns kick out a...
I agree with you. I kept hunting that same general location and I finally had pretty much figured out that if I was down to the last few days and saw him that I would take him. I thought he would be a great momento of the hunt, had a beautiful cape, and was obviously past his prime and a great...
Haha! Well, I’ve never been called a big buck killer until now. Luckily all the feedback has been positive which I’m thankful for!
I’ve been on hunttalk since the beginning, or close enough! This will always be “home base”.
I went back and forth on whether I’d post this on this forum, but it just felt right! I still have a lot of connections to this place and there’s also a guy I previously didn’t know, helped me out tremendously! I’ve killed a few “good” bucks but never anything I would consider BIG. That changed...
I’ll be there as well! I’ll pass on some notes if I feel I can be any help! First time there for me. Bucket list hunt just being able to say I hunted the gunnison basin!
My god! Don’t let anybody know how effective hiking to a high point and glassing is! You’ll let the cat out of the bag! In all seriousness, it’s amazing the amount of locals that will pull that tag and not see anything for days as they drive roads in their side by side.
I actually called my local forest service department yesterday to ask. The lady who answered took my information and said she will find out. She, like me, knew the e-bike laws. However She couldn’t give me an answer on game carts. I don’t want to see e-bikes on closed trails either, yet I...
