Be honest about your Wyoming elk app!
Huh, I guess I'm the only one planning my whole fall around drawing the Super Tag.- Lost Arra

WY 2024 App Booklet is up
Does anyone else think the Special tag price is just the pig's snout rooting under the fence? Pretty soon he's coming thru and the non-Special tag prices will sky rocket too making the 90/10 transition financially easier for the G&F. I'm glad antlers aren't a priority for me.- Lost Arra

Colorado GMu 81 Road & Trail Conditions
I used to elk hunt (archery) the Adams Fork drainage over a dozen years ago. During those years I saw exactly one other hunter. He had been packed into an established wall tent camp by an outfitter about half way in. (Hunter was pissed because the pack horse did a rollover and smashed his... -

Which might explain why 90 cows were killed with a Type 1 tag. Probably on the last day of the season. -

Looking at the harvest records, most recent being 2021, the success rate doesn't seem to be out of whack from other elk hunt areas in spite of "limited access". Why don't they just issue 500 more cow tags (or 1000, who knows?), Type 4 or 6 or both? 450 for residents 50 for non-residents and... -

You can be sure it would be a cluster no matter who did the choosin'. It would take years to agree on just the selection criteria. Isn't this the reason landowners with elk are leasing to outfitters? Nothing gets hunters, responsible or not, on the ranch faster than $ -

Ha! That's about the last time I looked because I had a UW college friend who was hunting there late -

I agree but printing even 1000 more resident tags is not giving them access to the elk, just more opportunity to hunt next to your neighbor. There are walk-in HMAs in 7 that are almost all used by residents but the road conditions come November are unpredictable. There is even a website... -

The landowners seem to hold the power not the outfitters. WGF can plan all they want but the landowners totally control access to the game in an area like 7. I'm guessing the landowners would prefer to work with the outfitters, especially local outfitters, rather than allow x number of unknown... -

Thanks I received the survey today. Ha! Agree. Landowners "manage" the elk herd in that Area. 7 is pretty big. I wonder if they split it into smaller areas if it would have any effect? I doubt it. Private land would still dominate the landscape. -

2023 Wyoming Elk
That's one way. But you still need a reasonable plan and I'm positive Wapitibob has one. Not everyone has a plan. ("What should I do with 7 points?"). Don't just buy points and years down the road wonder why you're no closer to drawing what you originally wanted. If you buy your first elk point...- Lost Arra

I thought this Type 2 tag in Area 7 was a Wagonhound proposal to reduce raghorns and not get the big trophy bulls busted up. But I do believe I could be wrong. -

You Ever Get Turned Around In The Woods?
I used to have a photo of two iphones sitting side by side on the ground (mine at the time and an elk hunting buddy's) Both were on the Compass app and showing different directions for North. We just stopped, sat down and ate a snack. Fortunately the snow stopped, the fog lifted and we walked...- Lost Arra

Task force $1,950 NR elk tag
At the current rate of inflation maybe these prices in 2024 are not that extreme. If the red side falters this November $1950 may be a bargain relative to inflation.- Lost Arra

CWD research
Better field testing methods will greatly help. The current logistics of getting animals tested isn't good. Given the widely varied approach to "managing" the disease from state to state, it is apparent there are no clear cut answers.- Lost Arra
