Hello,
I am really wanting to do a black bear hunt. I've been putting this off for a few years now and want to go asap, hopefully in 2024. I'm thinking MN because its close, I'm from Iowa. I know parts of MN require preference points, which I have none unfortunately. But, some of the state is...
I really want to go on a couple elk hunts in my life. It would be a dream hunt for me. I'm from the Midwest. So I'm not sure public diy would be the way to go for me being I don't have much time to be able to scout etc. I think it would be much more rewarding diy though. But, to have the best...
Thanks for the replies folks. I wasn't sure, but that's what I suspected. Must have some deep pockets.
How much does a typical hunt on a reservation in NM go for? This big elk was taken 9/1 with a rifle.
Do the Indian reservations have different season dates than the rest of the state? Someone at work is showing me a picture of a big bull that they say was shot today on an indian reservation in NM. Hunter is poised with a rifle. I see archery is open now?
So, I did my first western hunt last fall in WY ever, pronghorn. I can't wait to go after elk one day. Anyways, I went with a larger group, 10 of us. We were on public ground. We were not out there to hunt trophies by any means, pretty much everyone took first buck they had a chance at. I did...
I've been to WY twice now. Both times accused of being on private/trespassing by ranchers. Both times we proved the group I was with were in the right and ranchers were wrong. One rancher pulled up to our camp at night and was cussing u a storm at us and demanding we give him the land owner...
Seems pretty surreal sitting at work today eating lunch...pronghorn steak and scallop potatoes. I dreamed all summer while at work of going on my hunt and found this website and read tons of threads in this very forum, pretty much looked through all the harvest pics too....how here I sit at...
Big thanks to everyone that helped me out on here. This was my first western hunt, first rifle hunt. I asked a lot of questions about what rifle/scope etc. here. My first trip was a success. Its definitely a different type of hunting than I am use to, but I loved it, it was a lot of fun. We...
I guess part of my problem is not really wanting to devote all my vacation time for the year to an elk hunt. Family events etc demand some of it.
I just figured going guided the first couple times would help me learn what to expect and how to move, cover the landscape etc. How to react when you...
I've never elk hunted, but it is a something I will do. It has been a dream to do this for a while. At 31 I'm finally in a place where its time that I am really starting to dig into it and the wheels are starting to turn in my head and am trying to get some plans made. I'm at a point where it...
What yardage do most of you zero your scopes at?
Thanks for the tips on rifle/scope recommendations that I posted earlier this summer. I went with the Tikka TX3 Lite .270 topped with a Luepold VXI 3-10x40 and I have Caldwell bipods mounted on it. I took it out this week and did some shooting...
