I’m 6’5” 200 pounds and the Sitka stuff in tall sizes has been great for me. I would think it should likely work for you too even though you’re a little taller.
Congratulations on the tag! I’ve never hunted that area, but I’m hoping to hunt an adjacent unit with an outfitter in 2023. Good luck and I look forward to hopefully see some pictures.
No luck for me with 2 bonus points. At least it didn’t spoil my perfect record of getting shut out for all 9 Montana draws I applied for. Onward to archery elk season!
I’m about to pull the trigger and put down a deposit on a Lund Tyee 1975 for next season. This will be a step up from my previous boat which was a 16 foot Tracker. I’ve gone over the details multiple times, but I’m curious what everyone’s must haves are? Anything you wish you had done...
You said you would like to go the first half of October with rifle, so Montana would be out based on season dates. It’s unlikely to draw WY with one preference point, but certainly worth a chance. I don’t know enough about Idaho to make recommendations there.
This year I think reservations would be highly advised, especially for Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, and Jackson. The later in the year you go, the better your chances, but many of the Western national parks broke monthly visitation records in May.
My brother and I went too. We got in line Friday night at 10 pm and were vehicle #255. We hiked the national forest adjacent to the refuge for the first 3 hours of the opener, then headed elsewhere. Most of the people we encountered who were successful had low numbers in the entry line to get...
I hunt the western and southwestern part of the state because that’s where I live and I focus on elk over deer. If you are strictly interested in deer I would focus more east.
I was planning to mail a deposit to an outfitter for a 2023 elk hunt in WY, but I think I’ll hold on to it until this thing shakes out. It sucks because I would have had enough points to hunt the LE unit, but this proposal could add who knows how many years to the wait. As vocal as WYOGA is...
I hunted Region G in 2019. It’s definitely a cool area to hunt. However, you are probably 4 years out (or more) from drawing it with 4 points. I don’t know if I will accumulate points to try to draw it again, or maybe try another unit/region. I definitely feel like going back a second time I...
A lot probably depends on your idea of a quality bull. I currently have 10 points, and know I will likely never catch up to the premier units. I plan to use my points in 2 years on a unit I should be able to draw. The unit is mostly wilderness and has tons of grizzly bears. Due to the NR...
We are flying into Yakutat and staying there for a few days to fish for halibut in the ocean and salmon in the streams. Then we fly into a lodge on the Tsiu River to fish for silvers for 4 days. I’m really looking forward to it.
