I have the same chance of drawing Elk this year as I did last year, and I didn’t even apply this year.- HalfAce

And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.
Kids: “Daddy, why did we leave all our friends and family in California and move to Wyoming?” Dad: “so I can shoot a deer n elk every year.”- HalfAce

Ancient buck stories are fascinating
Very cool. A handful of bucks live for a long time, even in heavily hunted places. If they live long enough then you can bet a few guys have crossed paths with them and keep tabs on them. -

ID Spring Bear Tag Reduction
During a fall of hunting 3 or more different states, I’ll see more large predators in Idaho in fewer field days than I’ll see in all other states combined. So I’m guessing the lower tag fee is an effort to reduce some of that problem.- HalfAce

Montana or Colorado Mule Deer Hunt?
If an 18 inch four point would make you happy, Montana is the hunt of your dreams. -

Arizona unit 27 late rifle 11pts
It seems like if it’s going to be a wet year, it starts early and it just keeps coming. Not getting the feeling it’s going to turn around. Points only on elk for me. -

Nevada Deer 072-079, 091 - Late Rifle - drew tag that a hunter gave back 9-28-18
Sounds like an awesome place to hunt. Nice deer. How many days did you hunt before you took your buck? When did you see the larger bucks start mixing it up with the does? Was it end of October or did they not get started until the first few days of November? -

Does it matter? Does the number change my mind? Question to myself.
Depends. If he’s 3.5 years old, pass. If he’s got a gut, Roman nose, some kind of antler characteristic that makes him unique and I’ve been there 6+ days and covered enough country to know that’s the best buck I’ve seen, then I’de shoot. -

Last day Another short night of sleep. I woke up at 3 that night to make sure I had first dibs on the mountain if there were any big buck gamblers holding out till the last day. I made it to my glassing spot a little too early. Waited for grey light for about an hour. It was COLD! I don’t... -

On my drive back home I was thinking about all the effort I’ve put in the last few years and had little to show for it. Eating 7 combined non resident mule deer tags in 2018 and 2019, and then finding this deer and only having to go home because of work wasn’t a good feeling. I couldn’t let my... -

After taking a couple pictures I hurriedly packed up my stuff and was trying to figure out a stalk. The area he was at really didn’t allow for any kind of good stalk opportunity. He wasn’t there by mistake. I quickly moved a few hundred yards up the draw to a point where I might be able to get... -

Day 3 That night was cold and it was snowing off and on. There was supposed to be a short window of light snow in the morning before it started to dump. So I started my hike up the trail a little extra early that day to beat any other foot traffic and have as much glassing time as possible... -

Day 2 Not as many bucks. I think I saw 7 bucks total. One buck that was an almost shooter. But if he gets a year he could be a fun one. At the end of the day I got a call that Ide have to head back home at the end of day 3 to make it back for a big last minute work meeting. It was a non... -

Fast forward to my last hunt of the year. No hunting buddies, no llamas, just a solo mule deer hunt. My favorite thing in the world to do. Day 1 I found myself starting my hike at 4 in the morning to one of my favorite glassing points. Big bucks and good memories make it a friendly place, no... -

The next 3 days we hunted the same area where we ran into the group of elk in the trees. We would get short visuals of cows and small bulls throughout those days. One afternoon I got a quick look at the big one through the aspens in a brush filled canyon. I went after him but I was never able to...
