2025-26 Season plans?

[RaiderRich]

Nevada resident here so will apply for everything and hope for something. Moose, elk, mule deer, Ram (3 species), mountain goat, bear, antelope and might spring for the mountain lion tag.

If I get totally skunked will plan on a trip to see the kids and grandkids in New York during whitetail and bear seasons.

Hope to get drawn for Elk and Mule deer in New Mexico again.
Whitetail in Texas and lots of Dove hunting.

What states and tags are you planning to hunt or apply for this 2025-26 season?

Hopefully get out a handful of times. We are expecting our second boy in the spring so we’ll have a busy year!

California is a lot closer than NY and has OTC bear tags with a long season.

Kids and grandkids aren't in California

Things broke my way.

A long weekend for Indiana turkey weather permitting.

Just made reservations to spend a week chasing blue grouse in Colorado. Planning to go at least once for ptarmigan. Anyone want to take me ptarmigan hunting?

Any vacation days left will be spent in the UP going after ruffed grouse.

 

[MTGomer]

Just the usual. Applying for all of them, probably. Or drawing any of them.

Birds, birds, birds! And hopefully a 3rd rifle deer tag here locally in NW CO.

 

[Beignet]

Just completed my first non-Montana application. Exciting. Let's go, New Mexico! In for archery elk, rifle antelope, and draw-unit javelina. Elk alone is a long shot, but the latter two are an extra long shot as I'm applying as a party with my spouse.

Might add another species to the app before it closes, 'cause why the hell not?

 

[MaddH]

Should be hunting antelope in Wyoming and a 2nd or 3rd season mule deer tag in Colorado on my uncles place. Hopefully something in my home state of NV, but in a waiting period on a lot of critters. Might even go chase pheasants in South Dakota too

 

[Redraider7]

NM - D, E, A, Oryx and Javelina already bagged and tagged.
WY - Draw for cow elk and doe antelope


I hope I get an elk tag in WY and NM but odds are against me. I may only have enough vacation for 1 hunt though. If I get skunked I will head to CO for OTC

At 65, first time in my life unemployed due to random DOGE federal job cuts. So have no idea what to do. Got like 450 points over 8 states. If someone had just done one audit of our program, I’d still have a job. The RIF is most definitely NOT based on merit. HQ simply cut us two oldest.

Best of luck to you. Hope you get to enjoy those points cashed in. Wow, you’ve got to be at max points on a couple.

I'm losing interest with each year that passes. Quit 3 states already (OR, NH & WY sheep/moose). But I've got too many points everywhere else to exit. I loved my job and worked hard at it. The two bums ahead of me egregiously short cut their job duties. Both had less tenure and were younger then me. I already filed an EEOC complaint. As mentioned, this is just another RIF. Nothing is based on merit, as advertised. Taxpayers getting cheated bad.
