Hello I am set to leave Wisconsin for Wyoming on Tuesday to hunt a type 1 tag in Unit 39 in the bighorns.
I had a slight hernia develop today…one week before my trip, and for the first time in my life. All that is a long way of asking if anyone knows any services who could assist with packing...
Hi Hunt Talkers, I hope you are having a great summer and getting excited for fall. I traded in some WY points to get a Unit 39 Type 1 Tag this year. About me: I run a machine shop in WI and am a dad to 3 and 6 year old boys, so my life is hectic and hunting time is currently limited. I am 0...
Hi everyone! I have not been on the forum much for a couple years, focusing on running a small business and raising two young future hunters. I have a cow tag for WY unit 38 and I am woefully behind on research and e scouting. No excuses but I am just at a point in life where my enthusiasm...
I would like to go with something more modern. I dont mind spending money on a high quality gun either. Some questions:
-WHat is the gear list you would need for the muzzleloader and shooting?
-IS there special storage and safety considerations for the powders?
-Do you reccomend a scope or...
Not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask, but I have been coveting some of the muzzleloader seasons and would like to look into what it would take to learn about and gear up to hunt with a muzzleloader. Are there any resources online or otherwise, that this group could recommend for a...
Thanks ! Lots of good replies here. SInce I smelled him/her and heard him/her I know I was close to it but my hearing isnt great and I couldnt gauge how close or far I was.
I grew up in WI around cattle and it didnt smell like that, it was more sour and musky i would say. On the other hand...
Hello, I am 0-4 on self guided elk hunts but still trying to connect the dots. My last hunt was a rifle cow tag in WY 24. Talking to other hunters, they said they were seeing elk in the timber and that a still hunt may be a good strategy. I'm not super skilled at this but gave it a go.
As I...
Greetings Hunt Talkers, I am preparing for my fourth elk hunt, hoping to finally connect on one. I have a cow tag for Wyoming's first rifle season. I wanted to ask the more experienced folks out here...(if there are any cow elk hunters)...do you have any cow-specific tips for a newish elk...
Just a 4WD pickup truck and then hoofing it. Do you use the ATV actively while hunting or just to get around on the roads up there and then go by foot? Thank you for your help!
Good Morning Hunt Talkers, I wanted to ask if anyone is hunting WY Unit 24 this year, or has in the past? I'm still new to hunting, and headed out for a solo hunt this year. Would be very thankful to talk to anyone who's been there or is heading there. Happy hunting and good luck this year to...
Thanks Everyone. I hope you are doing well in these strange times. It's nice to know there are like minded people out there thinking about elk like I am.
Hello, how is everyone today? This is my first year to enter the Idaho Elk draw...can anyone tell me approximately when they will be doing the drawing (or any info about when they typically draw in years past)? I'm getting a little antsy!
Thank you!!
Hello, I am seeking advice from people more experienced with elk and elk hunting please. Thank you in advance for your help.
I have a WY rifle cow elk tag in a unit that is mostly flat sage brush with (2) mountains. The wildlife biologist said virtually all the elk live on these two mountains...
Thanks everyone. I’ve definitely listened to that podcast a couple times. Great info there too. I appreciate everyone’s insight. I guess I’m just trying to get as much input as possible to learn how other people have gotten it done, and replicate their successes. Thanks again!
