Just apply and see what you draw? I apply for some long shots, so if drawn that would be the hunt, but in general I try to draw 1 good/great tag out west each year. But how do you decide what's next? deer? elk? moose? sheep? canada? alaska?

For the non-res MT is a terrible system. They offer no "points only option" for special elk/deer permits, you can apply for pts only for deer/elk if you fail to draw a general deer, or elk, or combo license, but if you draw the tag and only want points, you only get an 85% refund? or so, which...

Anyone else surprised that gas powered atv companies haven't came out with an ultra quiet utility style atv even after electric bad boy buggies have been out for over a decade who's entire premise is that they're ultra quiet? and scent free but at least gas atv companies could develop a super...

but this time next week I'll have 1 big bull elk on the ground! (and my 1st archery) and hopefully my father will also get lucky before the hunt is over... may luck be on all of your side as well! pics may take a couple weeks from today at least... :cool: ;) :D :p no matter how...

What's a guy to do with his old or unused hunting gear? I'd hate to throw it out, and probably never would do that. Would love to sell it, ie, even if I could get 10 or 20 bucks for some decent binos, or 2 way radios etc... but it's hardly worth the hassle to ship/post/ sell that stuff to make...

Man this place has been boring lately, probably everyone getting ready to hunt! So do you find yourself hunting 1 or 2 select species even though you've hunted many other varieties or hope to hope other varieties? Although I hunt whitetails every year and this is what I've hunted the most...

I recently heard that iphones and android style smart phones can double as a gps? do they work off satellites or do they require internet access to function/ be within cell phone range? because if they do work with satellites I'm starting to think why bother having a garmin gps handheld etc...?

I'm curious in your opinion how a internal frame pack feels vs. an external? I have an external but considering buying an internal as a 2nd pack, either way I need a 2nd pack for elk this fall... would a 3900cu in internal be basically the same as an external except the frame is internal...

I really need a 2nd backpack/packframe for our upcoming elk hunt, DIY archery. part of me is thinking about buying a cheapo $100 style pack... I have an external pack frame with bag etc... that somehow I got the steal of a lifetime on, I think it was $50, very similar to cabelas alaskan...

Where is the place to hunt trophy Roosevelt Elk, either DIY or reasonably with an outfitter? Let's say under $8k.

Do you use a stabilizer? Choose all that apply for you.

To wear or not to wear in snake country? also can't you get bit in the foot if only wearing gaiters/chaps? a snake pistol would be a nice addition, but I think I might almost feel "invincible" if I were wearing snake boots, like go ahead, bite my boot... is a rattler gonna bite above the...

may be public/private in 50/501, it's a maybe so far. also possibly units 8 or 191 near red feather lakes? this would be public only. I haven't been able to find much about them. It says elk isn't OTC which makes me wonder how many are even there? if any? Mule deer would be the focus...

Archery or Rifle is an option. Think I would prefer a rifle for mulies, but I'm open to encouragement and suggestions. Have 6pts in many states. Where would you go? A trophy mulie is the goal, 4x4 170"+ top thoughts off the top of my head would be to just buy a landowner tag in CO, or...

True statement? What do you say? If you want a trophy elk, 6x6 300"+ is CO near the bottom of your elk states list? Feel free to include some colorado elk sayings too. "In colorado we don't have elk, we have elk hunters" "The orange army"

I know whitetails but not elk... How old is a mature elk? What is the general rate of growth? ie.. a spike? is how old? then next year he'll be a what? 3x3? how old is a 4x4? 5x5? how old is a 6x6 300-320" elk? a 350"? let's not talk exceptions to rules here, but in general/decent/good...

Which of the NA Sheep do you want to hunt most? Desert BH Rocky Mountain BH/California BH Stone Dall Have to pick 1 of these 4 and can't pick for financial reasons, have to pick the one you want to hunt the most.

I can't help but correlate sports to hunting, particularly mental toughness. Spring turkey got the best of me this season, I gave up before the hunt was over and of course I went home empty handed. I remember reading an article once that you have to expect good things, ie that 6x6 elk is going...

When do NM refunds go out? my draw is over... anyone know? I'm waiting on $3k for desert bighorn sheep...

6th time's the charm for me! CO/CO/NM/MT/MT....MT! 3rd time's the charm for my father! NM/MT....MT! this will be both of ours first elk, and with the bow none the less! just getting the positivity started early! should start shooting the bow more often now that I think of it! how awesome...
