Hunting with the right partner is great. Finding the right partner can be difficult. Hunting alone is a blast under the right circumstances. I’ve now got three partners that are all great. One is my 27 year old son who I’ve taken hunting since he was 3. The other is a friend I met in church 15...

Hey Guys - thought I'd share my elk hunting expereince with everyone. Little history - I live in Mississippi and have done DIY archery elk hunts for the past five years in Colorado. All five hunts were a complete blast! One year I called in a 5 x 5 for my buddy who shot the bull at 7 yards. He...

Hey guys, I'm trying to find the best option available for packing an elk out this fall other than hiring a guide. I'll be in the Cody / Wapiti area October 1 - until a get one or October 12th comes. I will be carrying a satelite phone with me - so I could call someone if I get something down...

Drew a unit 53-1 tag! First tag I've ever gotton that wasn't over the counter! I'm pumped! I know this is going to be a real challenge - but I feel I'm up for it! I'll be hiking in and sleeping with the bears during archery and if I don't fill then, I'll be back with Llamas for the rifle season...

Just thought I'd let you guys know I purchased some Han Wag Alaska boots off eXXposed.com for $230.00. Far cry from the $360.00 they are listed for on most websites. They ship from Europe and take a long time to arrive - like 4 weeks. But if your not in a hurry, you can't beat the price. If you...

Happy New Year Everyone! I'm hoping to gain some insight from the eastmans team. My son and I have 10 PP for elk and deer and it looks like we're going to putting in for another point this year because my son (recent college grad) doesn't have vacation time built up to go. In the mean time, I...

solo archery elk hunt

Well - It's that time of year again. Looking at my points and options for 2018. I've been seriously considering putting in for a Colordao High Country Mule Deer Hunt. I have 5 points and am a non resident. According to MRS and Toprut - I have a decent shot at getting a tag. I'm 50 years old and...

This fall was my nineth elk hunt out west. I also turned 50 this year. My elk hunting buddy that I normally go with had back problems and my son did not have the vacation time - so - I went by myself on a DIY hunt. I enjoy being with friends and family on a hunt, but I also enjoy some alone time...

Hello Everyone, I've heard Colorado and Wyoming have been hit with some major snow this year that may have an effect on Mule Deer populations next fall. Haven't heard much about Montana though. Was looking at potentially hunting mule deer in the Bob Marshall next fall. Does anyone know if the...

Hey guys, I've rented Llamas in Colorado several times on archery elk hunts and have been happy with them. Looks like I'm going to Montana this year in September and have researched the web trying to locate a place that rents them. I see there is a company in Red Lodge, but I was hoping to find...

Hey guys, Need some guidance if you're willing. My buddy and I are thinking about doing the early season rifle hunt in unit 150/151. We're NR and will be bringing our own livestock. I've got two questions if anybuddy might be willing to help since I havent hunted Montana in 29 years (yikes -...

Hello Everyone, I'm 50 years old and have NEVER joined anything like this before even though I use a computer every day at work. I'm originally from Grand Rapids Michigan, but moved to Mississippi in 2006 to help start a new plant supplying automotive parts to Nissan. I now work at Nissan as an...

Hello Everyone! Can honestly say this is my first post ever. Been reading everyone elses for years. Time to get off the sideline I guess. I'm new to this Forum, but have been a subscriber to Eastmans for years. I love to hunt elk. I always seem to be the caller instead of the shooter when I go...
