2025-26 Season plans?

[ccc23454]

25 is going to be busy for me! I already have arguably best general elk tag and deer tag in neighboring state on top of my resident tags here. I am due to draw something good in app season but primary focus will be on guests. Will have 3-5 family members drawing general tags this year, will have to focus efforts on filling their tags. I am still in waiting periods in 2 states for antelope so likely will not start hunts till sept archery elk. Still got more to tag this season and spring chaos to deal with before I worry about it to much.

Will have 3-5 family members drawing general tags this year,

I didn't know you considered me family.

 

[Carl 9.3x62]

Feeling a WY sheep tag. Hopefully 27 points will do it.

 

[noharleyyet]

Applying for NM elk.

So last year during my ak trip I found out that someone had turned in a late season az bull tag and I posted about it saying I had a few days to decide what to do. In that time someone on here snitched to my wife about it. Still not sure who but anyways as far a sneak preview for 25 on ht from me is concerned……… Not happening

 

[INMT]

Montana general deer, elk, mtn lion. Put in for antelope, haven’t drawn the last two years. MT MSG but won’t draw for probably twenty years still. Super adventurous.

 

[the nikster]

Son in law and I will walk the haul road looking for a caribou when he gets time off.
Blacktails and bears and fishes on POW island if stars align.
Moose and wolves and bears behind the house in September.
Deep sea fishing off of Guadeloupe or Hawaii, haven’t decided yet.
I have no points anywhere.

 

[Corn king 60]

Bow hunting/rifle whitetail in WV.
WV turkey in the spring
CO elk points
WY elk points
MT elk points
PA elk points (which honestly is a shot in the dark but relatively cheap compared to western states)

I wouldn't be opposed to trying for point for mule deer either. I've never mule deer hunted but after going to CO for elk this year, we saw quite a few and it intrigued me.

Not so fast on the cheap pa.elk application. I just the other day watched the pa.game commission meeting and a proposal that passed the committee was for residents and NON Residents purchase a hunting license before applying for the elk draw.the proposal still has to be approved by the full commission at another meeting. I believe the non resident license is still $110.00 that would need to be purchased if this proposal passes. Oh and the other part of the proposal was to limit Non Resident to no more than 10% of available tags.

2025 will be no different than any other year.

Shotgun draw apps for a bunch of Provinces and States, and see what happens!

Sounds like you need to change your username brotha…

 

[Shed God]

I just going to have fun

It’s the internet man there is no hiding. I remember getting a text from her once saying I see you killed a bull today since it got posted on Facebook. I don’t even have Facebook fml

Things change rapidly with hunting plans.

Early September Yukon for mountain caribou, grizzly, with outside chance at black bear, wolf, and wolverine.

Other for sures:

Wyoming: elk, deer, pronghorn.
Montana: elk, deer.
Arizona: coues.
Kodiak: fishing

I think I'm probably going to be pretty much points only for most other elk, deer, and pronghorn tags or very long shot stuff.

Will apply with hopes of drawing sheep, moose, or goat in the rest of the states I'm eligible. Been crossing a few off the list since I've drawn.

Most likely will have family draw something good, seems every year I'm helping one of them with a good tag.

 

[hank4elk]

Local elk & deer.

 

[F250]

I have 2 points in Kansas for Whitetails. Should draw a December rifle tag. Already have a place to hunt. June - Quebec walleyes with the guys. August - Quebec walleyes with my wife. Late September - DIY waterfowl in Saskatchewan. Whitetails in Vt. and NY muzzle loader and rifle seasons. Exploring April turkeys somewhere.

 

[TN2shot07]

2025 will just be local deer (possibly a trip to KY for their rifle season) but 2026 looks like my first attempt at a speed goat

 

[np307]

Hopefully playing pack mule for my buddy as long as he draws his WY tag. I'll put in for some auxiliary tags but nothing major.

 

[CouesKelly]

Should be helping my Husband on a WY general elk this year.
I already have 2 AZ Javelina tags and coues deer for this year.
Contemplating a OTC spring bear hunt but no solid plans yet.

Other than that I'll be applying and should be able to draw:
MT 900 archery antelope
WY cow elk

I'll put in for a few long shot draws and see if something comes up lucky too

 

[EYJONAS!]

Kicking it off with a couple lion hunts in Montana. I also would like to get a nice bobber hopefully.

Texas Aoudad hunt in March

Spring bear with my daughter, it'll be her first spring she can hunt. I would like to hopefully try and get out more this year with her and my wife for a bear.

Stack points in Wyoming for DEA
Colorado deer point
Utah Deer and Elk points
NM apply for Ibex and Oryx
AZ points

I'm hopping my wife can cash in her 10 points for a mt rifle elk tag.

See where the draws land with friends. Maybe accompany someone on their adventure of a lifetime.

The possibilities are endless......
