Drew a MT general big game combo, in 2019. E-scouted all summer, had a plan set and ready. Truck broke down on a mule deer hunt here at home at the end of Sept. That started a chain reaction of delays and reschedules that resulted in me not even making it across the border let alone hunting elk...
Very nice bull, great photos and story. i have a buddy on his way to Wainwright in the morning for the 1st rifle deer hunt. I spent some time as a younger man working the check stations there. Always such a fun hunt to be a part of. Congrats!
Amazing story so far. Thanks for sharing Randy! I was able to live out my own caribou hunting dream a few weeks ago in Nunavut. Glad there's others out there that share the same lifelong dream of chasing huge racked bulls in the north. Congrats on a great animal, looking forward to reading the...
My plans have changed a bit, well a lot. Didn't draw anything in WY or NM, so replaced that with A MT big game combo and leftover MT archery antelope. Sask draws were mostly a bust too. Thought i had everything set, then this past week i took advantage of a great opportunity and booked a...
Just bought an a6400 last month. Played with it a little bit so far and love it. I find it easier to use and more intuitive than my Nikon d7000. Glad to see Big Fin and a few others are fans of the Sonys. Made me feel better about getting the crop sensor camera instead of going full frame right...
Do it!
You'll never regret it. At your age, it sounds like you're already well ahead of the curve financially and mature beyond your years.
I'm fortunate to have a job that gives me two weeks off a month to do whatever I want. Not many get that luxury. I have a hard time finding hunting...
Excellent thread and great hunt. Congratulations! I'm planning my first solo elk hunt for this fall and will refer to this as i get further along. Thanks for sharing!
I hunted 113 in 2015, 2016, and 2017. We paid a trespass fee each time we did. However, as others have mentioned, there is foot acres to the large blocks of BLM in the south part of the unit. Get yourself an OnX chip and a good set of boots and you'll have access to plenty of country with plenty...
Interesting thread. I'm considering going solo in 39-1 this year as well. Sounds like a set of tire chains and a good snow shovel might be coming along. When the inevitable snow hits, do the elk drop lower to the valleys and flats to the west end of the zone or do they tend to pack up and head...
Hoping for this to be a busy fall.
Main goal this year will be to kill my first elk. As an experienced hunter, this has been long overdue. I turned 40 this year so time to double down.
Planned hunts:
Saskatchewan (SK) OTC archery mule deer here at home
SK OTC elk (if i don't draw)
WY Type 1...
A couple of buddies and I made our first trip across the border for pronghorn last fall in Wyoming. We had a great time and a very successful hunt. I shot my first pronghorn on the second day
Hi all,
I'm new here from Saskatchewan, Canada. Found this place about a year ago while doing research for my first pronghorn hunt in WY. I picked up a lot of useful info here and really enjoy the friendly and helpful attitude here. I look forward to contributing as much as I can.
