    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    I have unfortunately lost 2 of the 10 elk I’ve arrowed. One of them being the biggest bull I’ve shot to date. Fortunately he survived. He disappeared for three days and was back with the herd like nothing ever happened three days later. The second one I never got closure on. After shooting a...

    Becoming ID resident after purchasing non res tags

    Thanks for the advice! I agree, I was leaning more towards just running this season out as a non resident so it didn’t turn into a hassle whether that be missing out on a tag or going through anything with fish and game. I’m on the up and up I would just rather never put myself on anyone’s radar...

    Becoming ID resident after purchasing non res tags

    Good evening fellas, I recently became an ID resident. However, before making the home purchase, I bought my 2025 Idaho non resident elk tag. I didn’t want to risk the home purchase and residency falling through and missing out on a tag so I went ahead and bought it. Since the purchase, I...

    Back up plan for second hunting trip

We hunt otc units and have always gotten tags. This year we planned to do the same thing so he bought...

    Taking a cow elk on an either sex tag

    I don’t know how much elk hunting experience you have but I’ll start by saying if you’ve not killed an elk before kill the first legal elk you get a shot at. I started elk hunting seven years ago and it took me to my fourth year to finally make it happen on a cow elk. I’ve done diy solo hunts...

    Cellular trail cameras

    I’ve got the same exact issue, I’ve got a few spots I could set them and have enough service but they’re in areas that free range cattle frequent. I don’t want 500 pictures a month of cattle lol. Then the spots where cattle aren’t a concern I doubt I’ll have enough service. Oh well it’ll be...

    Third ovt elk/mule season in Colorado (a novice looking for advise)

    I’ve never had any issues parking and hiking, have left the truck sit at a trail head for nine days at a time and never had any issue, the only thing left on my truck was a thank you note from a packpacker I gave shelter to when I ran into him during a nasty storm. It was actually pretty cool...

    Honest opinion on taking the month off work for elk season? Please help!!

    You brought up some great points and actually hit the nail on the head, after going there nine years in a row I’ve developed some friendships and met several friends. I always set aside a day to help an elderly couple I met a few years ago with things around the farm and to visit with other...
