The pronghorn hunt is with a special tag. Normally, it would take like 20 years to get a non-resident antelope tag in that area, but this allows folks to hunt w/ a rifle during 2nd rifle season for antelope.
Thanks! I agree about how learning what to do and what not to do are both very important. I’ve learned this as much hunting whitetails as elk. As for marksmanship, I took some hands-on classes from some special ops, now contract guys, out in Farmington MO and they taught me a TON! For...
Thank you for your insight! I’ve chatted with the outfitter and one of their head guides and I know they do set people up based on goals and personalities. I have explained how I want to learn from them, but need to reiterate the message as we get closer to the hunt. I will have to ask what...
Agree about finding the hidden holes. We found one last year and it made perfect sense based on Randy’s eScouting videos regarding boundaries. I feel like I train like a mad man getting ready and I told the outfitter I’m willing to go the distance. I had talked to one outfitter in UT who...
Yes, I never quite understood the scale until I went to CO on a DIY elk hunt for the first time!!
Glassing is definitely something I could use some help with. I’ve read what Randy and Corey have posted about it, but haven’t been able to find one with this method thus far.
Thank you!!
Completely agree about getting to know an area. We understood the area we went to in CO much better after being there the 2nd time!!
I agree about needing to improve my glassing skills. I haven’t been able to locate one at any extended distance as of yet.
Thank you! A large part of what I’ll be hunting is public, but land locked as I understand it. Some will be private. Either way, understanding why they’re in a certain place & finding the animals where they are (meant for Randy), is extremely important as you mention.
I appreciate your insight, thank you!! I think you bring up some very valid points for things to pay attention to. In my on hunt out west thus far where one of us harvested an animal, it came running towards my buddy and he shot it, no stalking necessary. ;)
I'm 42 and just started hunting out west a couple years ago after finding @Big Fin online (only started hunting anything a few years before that). I've been to CO for 1st rifle the last two years and haven't filled a tag myself, but had a great time. I even helped do the gutless method and...
I sent an email to RJ like you recommended about the dry-fit (think synthetic base layer material or Under Armour workout clothing) shirts and haven't heard back. You said [email protected], correct?
