Short answer we is yes, you can hunt the private located inside the WMA boundaries. However, pay agent to amy me info that comes out for 2026. I typically don't look at deer hunts until late April so I can see the new regulations and tag numbers.

We had it pretty easy. In the middle of a herd of 500 at first light. 3 whole elk in the truck by 9am. This time of year is feast or famine. Good luck!

150 grain in 7mm-08 is very effective on elk. Don't over think it. Out to 300 yards, virtually any factory load will work fine.

It isn't going to happen but we could use a little natural selection... technology has made life so easy we are losing our ability to think, learn, and live. I do get your point though.

Welcome to the forum!

We seemed to be fine before gps... a lost hunter or two kept rookies close to the road. Miss the good old days.

Those restricted seasons aren't the solution imo. I think they will lead to more wounding than primitive weapon seasons. Limit the effective range through weapon restrictions instead of limiting accuracy. As far as limiting technology, GPS is the number one piece of technology that if...

Agreed... I wish I had video of the cow elk hunt this year. The cow i shot at just over 400 yards went down hard. It was impressive. That 156 grain berger did is job and then some.

I stepped down to a 6.5 prc. It is serious elk medicine. The new bullets are extremely effective and ballistics are better than my 30-06. After seeing 9 elk shot with one, I'm a firm believer you aren't sacrificing anything. I fought against the trend for a long time but I have come to...

Need to let your wife shoot that one!

Sure

Had a really fun year this season. We helped a friend with his first moose. My son took a week off to help on the hunt. Great experience for him. We called in several to close range. My son and I both shot a whitetail and I got my late season cow elk. Thankful for another great...

2.5 year old. I learned my lesson on lead cows years ago.

Thankful I won't have to buy beef again this year. 400 yards, 6.5 prc, 156 grain Berger.

To me they are worth it. I use Harris. They aren't too expensive.
