    Spring Scouting Trip for Late Season AZ Elk

    What do the "flatline" provide that isn't on the Onx Maps online interface. I certainly have no issues pooling resources from many places, but it looks to have a lot of the same overlays.

    Spring Scouting Trip for Late Season AZ Elk

    I'm actually in 8, I just couldn't miss the chance to ride Sedona decently close by as I'm almost as addicted to mountain biking as hunting. This is only my second elk hunt, but I'm determined to be more prepared than I was for CO last year as it was really the only hunting trip I've done so...

    Spring Scouting Trip for Late Season AZ Elk

    So I drew an AZ late rifle hunt and am roughly 1500 miles away, but I can fly there for a weekend scouting trip fairly inexpensively in mid May. I plan on flying out over the Thanksgiving holiday to scout the week before the season, but I am wondering what I can look for at such a different...

    Elk hunting recommendation tips

    Prepare with the mentality that you are going to succeed in getting an elk, but also realize there is a very good chance things won't work out. I know it sounds contradictory, but the mental aspect is very important. These types of hunts are much different than the long weekend excursions a...

    82/86 Colorado

    I remember being told that a lot of road hunters try to catch elk coming off the irrigated fields west of Cherry Lake and the game wardens write a lot of tickets there. I do agree that water is an issue in 82 and that the drainages with more water will hold more elk. I also agree that you...

    Fun Eastern Hunts

    What good is an easy to acquire, cheap license if the price of good deer hunting also includes a few thousand dollars thrown at a lease? At least when I buy a $1,000 elk tag out west it generally comes with a place to hunt. I don't disagree if you are a whitetail guy or want a fun eastern...

    Every state as a guy in a bar

    No one from Illinois drinks Goose Island nor eats deep dish pizza regularly, you are confusing what fat tourist from Iowa do while they are in Chicago taking in the culture of Navy pier. The cubs and bears part is spot on.

    82/86 Colorado

    I hunted 82 last year during muzzleloader season. PM me if you want more details. 82 is rough country, most all of the hunters were concentrated north of Hayden Pass because you can glass and drive. South of Hayden pass you have to work pretty hard to get back into elk country if they are...

    WY unit 1 pronghorn

    Double the height of the ear means a 12-13" buck which is by most accounts a representative adult buck is a good place to start. After you scout for a day or so you get a pretty good idea what is around.

    The Struggles of the Newbie... Advice Please

    You more or less have to consider 90% of what you know from WI whitetail hunting to not apply for elk with the exception of watching the wind, scent control isn't possible. Turkeys would be the closest midwest equivalent to rutting elk in calling and strategy. Not the same as far as physical...

    WY unit 1 pronghorn

    As mentioned all of the NE WY units pretty much play out the same. I have quit carrying a spotting scope for Antelope while hunting on foot, I think its only useful if you are really trying to find an 82" buck. A spotting scope means 3 lbs of spotting scope and 5 lbs of tripod to make it...

    Badlands and Cabela's Packs

    Messing around with packs that cost less than MR, EXO, Stone Glacier, Kuiu or similar is just delaying buying the right pack for western hunting and forcing you to keep or sell lesser packs in the mean time. I messed around with a bunch of cheap solutions, my existing hiking backpack, a...

    Colorado 1st Rifle vs Muzzleloader

    I guess I hadn't consider that 1st rifle is a shorter season that some of the others and forgot about the accumulated points in CO. I prefer a shorter season generally so I do like that. I knew the deer elk combo was doable during 2nd season. Last year I hunted the first half of...

    Colorado 1st Rifle vs Muzzleloader

    So last year I hunted south central CO during the muzzleloader season on a leftover tag and will likely be going back to Colorado barring a very good luck in AZ or NM draws for some. I was fairly underwhelmed with my season/unit experience and am considering different options for this year...

    Boots

    1) You should be prepared to spend good money on boots, but don't get hung up on a specific brand before you get fitted 2) You should understand that everyone's foot is different based on things like width, arch height, stride, history of injuries 3) Understand there are a lot of different...

    WY results

    I'll always argue that non-resident tags in the west are purely economic commodities owned by the state. The quality of the product usually drives the cost. Preference points are the Kardashians of the hunting world, they are the dumbest thing that won't go away and make too much money while...

    Electric Bicycles?

    The same thing could be said about if mountain bike had existed when designated wilderness came out. By all accounts horses damage trails to a similar or greater level than mountain bikes but are wilderness legal. Where you draw the line in the sand is pretty sketchy. The arguments for...
