    Party draw entry

    For elk or deer in units that have a fair amount of tags. How does a party entry work? If one of the applicants come up in the draw does the other hunter receive a tag if a tag is still left. If someone could explain the process as I am unsure of how it works.

    Rain fall In NW New Mexico

    Looks like they are getting a good amount of rain in the area I will hunt this fall. Some areas have had over 4 inches in the past 90 days. Most has had 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Is this normal? I know they don't get a lot of rain fall in the whole year.

    Wy general elk tag

    Now that the draw results are out with the three zones. The future of elk hunting for non-resident in Wyoming looks bleak.

    Question about what to expect.

    I had a few questions about an antelope tag I drew for public land in Northeast New Mexico. I have done all my research and even driven through the unit on a couple past trips out there. What I am looking for is what to expect. There is a good amount of State land and access seems really good...

    Elk General tag

    Looking at the results for the points required for a general elk tag I am think I may be in no mans land. Current group I plan to hunt with. I will have 5 PP and the two others will have 4 PP going into next years draw. So that would average 4.33 PP. It looks like we could be below the line...

    Elk hunting question

    Looking for some advice. I am a first time elk hunter. My question is mainly about scouting. When you draw a tag in late spring. When can you start scouting the area. I will likely only get one chance to scout the area due to distance of travel. When can you expect elk to be in the area...

    Bob cat

    I shot this deer hunting. There two of them. I shot the first one and had a round jam on my bolt action. First time this has happened in over 30 years. I think I had the round to far back in the mag. Anyway not much on size, but one less bird eater.

    Dalton Highway 5 mile in hunt.

    I made this trip this year. Here is my advice. I thought I was ready for the hunt lost 33 pounds and walked over 250 miles. I came to the realization you can not prep for this hunt on the open tundra. We got our butts kicked by the green monsters. Just cause you walk in 5 miles does not mean...

    At 56 it is tough

    I started with a goal in February to lose 50 pounds and get in better shape for my August 18th - 29th caribou hunt in Alaska. To date I have lost 32 pounds and walked 220 miles. It is looking like I may not make the targeted weight loss. It has been very hard to take off the pounds. I am not...
