I see Go Hunt now provide predictive draw odds alongside the historical odds.
I’m finding this new data very interesting and seems like another useful input to look at the units I’m looking to apply in that year. Of course further analysis is needed but I like to see what go hunt think in...
I’m looking at applying in Colorado for a 3rd season deer hunt near Buena Vista, Colorado. Based on last years draw I should easily have enough points to draw unless there is huge point creep.
During my research I’ve found plenty of accommodation options including cabins, airbnb and hotels. But...
I’ve just seen MT requires “Students age 12 to 17 and students who will turn 12 by Jan. 16 of the current license year (March - Feb.) can take Hunter Education online, but must also pass a required four-hour, in-person field day to be certified”
I have emailed MT FWP to see if this in person...
Late September I’m heading to WY for 3 weeks to hunt elk with a western general tag and have all my plans in place for this hunt.
But now I have picked up a cow elk tag and deer tag from the leftovers. They won’t be the greatest tags but we would prefer to explore new country with a tags and...
I spent last week chasing rutting tahr on the West Coast of New Zealand. Friend shot his first tahr (nice 12 inch, 8 year old bull) and another friend from AZ that I took along shot two chamois and a bull with his bow. Here's a few pics of the scenery.
Could someone please do me a favour and PM me the 2024 Utah Big Game Regulations?
I can’t access the Utah Devision of Wildlife website as I’m in New Zealand.
Thanks!
Spent a week hunting stags in the rut. Hard hunting this year and no big stags seen. Ended up taking an even 10 pointer. As a bonus the meat was fantastic eating and provided many meals for the six of us back at camp. Here are a few photos:

Watching the current draw recap I actually didn’t realise non resident elk and deer allocation has moved from 35 to 25%. Will be interesting...
I'm finalizing my 2024 elk draw applications for my son. Planning to apply in a number of states including the youth draw in New Mexico. Seems like some great opportunities in NM and the dates work with his high school vacation dates. I see New Mexico has a youth guided draw, with better odds...
For my Wyoming trip this year I ended up bringing my elk antlers and pronghorn sheaths back with me as checked in luggage. Was very easy and cost effective. Now I am looking to use a artificial european skulls to mount the antlers and sheaths. I see them for sale (Van Dykes for example) but...
Well I hope I've done the right thing!
Saw that there was an Elk 25 tag in the WY leftover and purchased it! I normally do many hours of research before I buy a tag but seems like it could be a good tag so now the online research starts! If any one is willing to help or share their recent...
Hi All, was wondering if there are many other foreign hunters heading to the Western USA to hunt this fall? Would be good to hear your plans and where you’re from.
My son and I are heading to western Wyoming next month from New Zealand. My son has a general elk tag and I have a pronghorn tag...
I've had some excellent help from hunttalkers over the last few years and try to limit my requests to help as I dont want to out stay my welcome! But if someone would be able to help with my sons AZ application that would be greatly appreciated. I've been to all western states except AZ and NM...
A big thank you to the State of Wyoming! I put my 16yo son in for a general elk tag and he drew with 4 points. The youth prices must make this tag one of the best priced tags in the west. This will be my 7th western hunt and the first with my son.
I have now booked flights and a TURO truck...
I’m busy researching hunts for my son. Biggest challenge is fitting his hunt around his high school commitments.
My son finishes school November 29 so looking at hunts in December 2023. Planning to apply for the AZ late elk hunts and also WY limited quota.
I’ve been researching gohunt and the...
Hi All, I'm in the planning stages of my 2023 western hunt and hoping you WY pronghorn experts can offer some advice. Unfortunately my current work schedule / family commitments means I cant hunt September but will be hunting mid - late October. Is this too late in the season for a good hunt...
I am heading to Los Angeles, CA for a family holiday and will have a couple of days free and have started researching hunting and fishing opportunities that I can fit in. The dates are June 28 - July 3 2023.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
After another amazing hunting adventure to Montana and Idaho I'm now back in New Zealand and decided its time to plan a return US hunt!
I'm looking at a CO deer hunt in November, so either 2nd or 3rd rifle season. I have 4 non-resident points. I haven't settled on a unit to apply for yet...
