    Mt. Emily Elk

    I have the points to draw a NR Mt. Emily archery elk tag this year. Figure I better try while it's an off year for outfitter tags. I have a good chance at a conflicting Utah tag. Does OR allow you to turn your tag back in if necessary? Anybody been to Emily lately? Thanks.

    Paunsagunt Archery Deer

    I have 15 NR points and am seriously considering burning these for one NR Paunsagunt archery deer tag this year. Could be as long as 5 years for me to get a rifle or mzl tag there and those hunts are not slam dunks. I enjoy archery better anyway, but I've never archery hunted for mulies. Have...

    SFW Wolf Sheds it's Sheep's Clothing in AZ

    They promised AZ sportsmen there would be no wealth tags. That sure didn't take long!!! SFW just tip toed around AZG&F and introduced a bill asking for 332 premium tags for auction/raffle. Why am I not surprised?

    Lets see your elk camp

    It would be nice if I could get dressed without opening the door. No, I don't have a stove. :rolleyes:

    Elk in the pecos wilderness

    Check out my meat wagon going home to Illinois. Never needed to haul so many coolers before. Really put the hurt on my poor Jeep springs! ;) Can't believe I made it all the way home without getting one finger from a soccer mom anti!

    Elk in the pecos wilderness

    BTW - I was able to finish out the 2nd leg of my combo trip with a small Wyoming bull moose. Good lord I hope they get a grip on wolf management before they plunder NM. My moose unit near Jackson was near void of all game. A mere shell of it's former self. I had 3 outfitters tell me how...

    Moose

    Well at least I got something. Dropped this dink Tuesday evening and am ecstatic. There are so few moose in this unit I felt bad shooting one. They need all the help they can get. I've only seen 2 bull moose in 10 days and they were both this size. No regrets. Headed home this weekend.

    Elk in the pecos wilderness

    My camp just below timberline. Elk feeding in basin AM. More. Pissed off 5x6 cut off from herd due to rimrock. He has very good mass. His left backs are stronger than the photos show. I am eager to tape him. Might be 330".

    Elk in the pecos wilderness

    Done with hunt. Reporting from Denver. Weather sucked, rainy and windy until Sunday morning. Unzipped bivy tent at 4:30 AM to finally see stars! Hiked back in from the Iron Gate Trailhead into a new basin and heard bugling finally! I counted 6 bugling. Climbed up on a high spot to identify...

    Griz in Moose Unit 20

    Anyone ever seen any griz in unit 20 by Alpine? I will be hunting solo in early October. Never hunted that far north. Closest was deer region G. I prefer to backpack in 3/4 days, but not sure if I should do so solo. Also does anyone know any guides up there that might pack a bull out? Thanks.

    Strip & Kaibab Tags

    Anybody here got a realistic shot at a Strip or Kaibab late hunt this year? My buddy and I have 1 point under max and after analyzing the rediculous complex draw system there I figure we have about a 20% chance to draw Kaibab. Put 13A for first choice but we know that ain't gonna happen. If...

    King's Hunting Rules

    Well we all take another step closer to King's Hunting Rules with the passage of New Mexico SB 196 today. Take out the WMA's & cow tags and DIY NR's get a whopping 5% of the tags. What a bizarre scam they will have now with unprecedented rules like: Outfitters get double the tags as NR...

    Moose Unit 23

    Anyone know why the success rate on moose in unit 23 dropped to 43% last year? Just curious. I had been applying for it the last few years but switched this year partially as a result of that.
