    Early or Late archery season

    My guess would be there would likely be fewer hunters by going early. But if you do you will likely not see the rut or hear bugling except for other hunters. It don't mean you can't score, you're still hunting but one of the cards in your hand will not likely be wild. Still hunt. Maybe use a...

    Montana Non-Resident Elk hunting Questions

    In Montana you have preference points which help you get a General Tag and you have Bonus points which help you obtain a LE (Limited Entry) unit tag. As you can see from my original questions that started this thread I'm new at understanding the Montana draw. That said, as I understand it, if...

    First Archery Elk Ideas (Colorado)

    Get in a little then get off the human trails and find you some game trails and follow them. Just try not to get too much into any bedding areas if possible as you don't want to run them off.

    Need help with choice of weapon

    Good luck. Sounds like you got a good deal. It's good to have a stainless model. A couple years ago I backpacked in a couple miles in Utah. I had a small tent that liked to collect moisture and the second day camping it rained part of one day and all night. My blued rifle was showing signs...

    Question - Montana Elk Combo with Bow and arrow tag VS Archery Permit

    I wouldn't be too proud to take home a mule deer doe. I like your motto "Made in Montana" I bought me a few pairs of the "Alpaca's of Montana Socks over time" I don't have a sock fetish and the socks are not cheap but I love those things. I think I bought my first pair some 3 years ago or...

    Question - Montana Elk Combo with Bow and arrow tag VS Archery Permit

    I bought into the Gohunt insider thing. What the insider info seems to indicate is that with the permit, I can hunt districts or at least parts of districts that are off limits to general season hunters but I sure could be wrong. Here is something it's telling me about this district (520)...

    Question - Montana Elk Combo with Bow and arrow tag VS Archery Permit

    Never hunted Montana but plan to enter the draw to try to get the Elk Combo license and bow and arrow license. I'm thinking to also put in for the Archery Permit. I see the odds are small of me actually getting the Archery permit are about 17% on my first try but what would I have to loose if...

    Colorado vs Idaho for OTC elk: the final answer

    OK, now I see. Very good Baxter Bowman. Nice write up and comparison! There isn't much talk of hunting Utah's Archery season though. It's actually cheaper to hunt in Utah and tags are unlimited like they presently are in Colorado. I don't like the general archery season dates in Utah...

    Colorado vs Idaho for OTC elk: the final answer

    Sorry Baxter, I probably misunderstood what you did or are doing? I don't know what articles you are talking about? I was commenting on what I saw so far on this thread which was one guy saying there's no Elk in Colorado and another commenting on Idaho. Everything I saw was very superficial...

    Colorado vs Idaho for OTC elk: the final answer

    I've been told I'm very serious, or was that delirious? My hearing ain't the best anymore :unsure:

    Colorado vs Idaho for OTC elk: the final answer

    Definitely Obama's fault since he took away all the guns, err stopped us from buying guns, Err maybe got rid of all the Elk? I think Colorado might have a couple Elk left to hunt: https://www.backcountrychronicles.com/elk-harvest-comparison-western-states/ ELK harvest per state State 2012...

    Colorado vs Idaho for OTC elk: the final answer

    If I were to do the "Really Deep Dive" I would do lots of research, show a lot of meaningless numbers, a few graphs no one can figure out, a huckleberry pie chart, which side is up or what the different colors mean no one knows, Compare the cost, compare the Elk numbers, compare the local beers...

    Walking Sticks for Hunting?

    I haven't used trekking poles, but there is a creek I had to cross on 2 Elk hunting trips several times. I would find a driftwood stick. For whatever reason the driftwood in general seemed extremely strong. I didn't need it so much except when crossing the creek with a heavy pack. The creek...

    FNG, ready to start my quest for the elk, need some advice

    I didn't even notice this thread was from Oct. 25 and the guy hasn't been back since Oct. 27th. :( He still hasn't come back and probably never will. Maybe down with the Corona beer virus? I best watch what I say though or I'll end up starting a starting a spin off thread.

    Utah Elk Draw

    Imbuit says: "The very first page of UT draw stats shows that there are 65 NR applicants per tag. That means it would take 65yrs to get each current applicant one hunt in the best case. Because there are some hunts that aren’t worth the trip and the five year waiting period, most of the hunts...

    RMEF Land

    Thanks much, I just read the article in the RMEF Bugle magazine about Falls Creek Montana Parcel they purchased to gain access to the Scapegoat Wilderness. I know of no other organization that has helped hunters (and wildlife) in a more beneficial way than the RMEF has. Reading the story...

    Selway Idaho September Elk Hunt

    I did a Archery hunt in Unit 10 of the Lo Lo in 2017. My first part of the LO LO that I tried to hunt I came in from Unit 9 and camped on the boundary of unit 9 &10 within a hundred yards of I think was called Pole mountain trail #59 which kind of straddled the border of those Units 9 & 10...
