Well said Dave. I too moved here when I retired 24 years ago for the hunting, fishing and rural living. I only wish I could have done it sooner. I hunt out of state and gladly pay more to do it. I really have problems with the unlimited OTC bull elk tags that CPW issues for 2nd & 3rd season. I...

Maybe something like 2 points for second and one for third choice. I am old enough to remember when there was no draw and 2 seasons (one early for Coastal , one late for Inland) in California where I grew up and started hunting. The seasons were over a month long. Then they started managing...

I am totally against using point for anything other than 1st choice. If I was young, it would make a difference. I still use my first choice for points building points for future draws. I use second and sometimes third choice for alternate choices. I still know a few areas that i can draw as 2nd...

You should give Garvey Bros Outfitting a call. They hunt in 61 and in the past have answered some questions I had about elk hunting in 61. They hunt deer too.

I have seen pictures on some of the whitetail breeders sites that the animals racks are huge! If one of those gets away or is shot on a fenced ranch and submitted for a new record, how does B & CD or P&Y tell if it's from the wild population?

Sounds like some of the captive whitetail breeders.

Me too!

I used to make stocks (made about 200 of them, both shotgun & rifle) and everyone is different. If you like the feel of a particular style and shoot enough, muscle memory will take over. What you really have to watch out for is what you need to work with you thumb or a finger. I built a...

I quit hunting muzzle loading BP because of way too many archery hunters. Just sayin...............

NR tags are getting really expensive for sure. My hunting buddies and I were going to apply for group tags in Wyoming (we are from Colorado, California & Arizona). We are a little shy for regular NR deer tags, but can draw the Special NR deer tags based on last years stats. But they are over...

We already have them....remember the original "Red Dawn".

I assume you have never applied for elk in any state and you have no preference points. You should select a state where you can buy an over the counter tag.....no waiting for accumulating any points to start with. I live in Colorado (as does JimP who posted also) and our state has a lot of OTC...

So Montana is where you want to start?

Guided or DIY? What state (s) are you interested in?

The Governor nominates the board and confirmed by the legislature. I have contacted my representatives and the committee holding the confirmation hearing. This isn't the first time the Gov has nominated people who are really not qualified or opposed to hunting/fishing.

I am passing on Wyoming this year. The only tag I could probably draw is the NR Special Antelope and I am not paying the price Wyoming has set for this tag, It's way, way overpriced!! I'll wait until I get a few more points and can draw a regular NR tag.

Today is March 1 and you can start applying for big game licenses. I applied for deer, elk & antelope, hope I am lucky. My deer & antelope are 50/50, elk is good.

I voted in their annual elections of Directors and I hope I started a change. I didn't vote for a single incumbent Director and I didn't vote for anyone recommended by the current leadership. I only voted for members who had been nominated by friends and other members. I also wrote in my name...

Colorado cut the number of all tags (deer, elk and antelope) in the NW section of the state because of severe winter and resulting winterkill. It is in effect for 2 years. There is lots of information in the new big game brochure I received in the mail yesterday.(also available online) I...
