Congrats! Great ram!

I have often thought about this, what if multiple Western states entered into some kind of system like this for NR’s, no more than 1 buck or bull tag/year/person. I’m sure there would be issues, but with current point creep/free falling draw odds some “out of the box” solutions might need to...

My daughter got a buck on Saturday

I think they should: Eliminate OTC tags, still have high volume opportunity units, but limited to maybe 80% of last 3 year average # of hunters. All tags be unit specific Make all tags drawn/purchased (leftovers/returns) use all your points for that species Double or triple NR license prices...

It was nice to meet you!

It was a tough second half of second rifle season for us - we were on cow elk almost every day the entire season but just couldn’t ever get a shot on a legal bull. My daughter flew in Tuesday evening with a buck tag so I switched my focus from elk to deer. We found a handful of average young...

Will do

Day 4 of Colorado 2nd season, I’ve been elk hunting an OTC unit. Got in Friday morning, saw elk everywhere we looked Friday afternoon including one stud for an OTC unit. Marched in with the Orange Army Saturday morning, the elk had pulled a Houdini act and disappeared. Thought we’d backpack...

Welcome to the forum. Pick a unit and go, in a few short years you’ll start to figure it out. They’re all crowded, some have more people and elk than others - all that info is available on CPW’s website in the statistics page. Good luck!

For zeroing off a bench I turn the magnification all the way up. Bag up and get rock steady

Gee, It’s almost like current policies are prepping us for socialism…

Body sizes vary widely all across the southern half of Texas, but opposite of what you would expect they tend to get much larger the further south you go once you’re south of San Antonio and then west towards the border. Of course, feeding them helps but genetics, age and habitat play the...

Our fully mature bucks (6yo & older) average 175lbs field dressed prior to the rut, we had one last year just shy of 200 lbs dressed. About 100 miles north of us in the “hill country” it’s dang hard to find a mature buck that dresses out over 100lbs.

Great Bull! Congrats!

Here are a few pics from my game cameras. Full disclosure: these are from a highly managed (by my B-I-L and me) low fence ranch in South Texas. We do feed whole cottonseed January- September as a supplement, you can see some of it in the pics (not interested in arguing about feeding, I’m just...

Cool video! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the hunt!
