By "safari-style" I mean having multiple tags for multiple species in an area. My kids are just the right ages that they will all three be eligible for youth hunts together for only a year or two. It sounds like fun to me to make a family trip to Wyoming knowing we could hunt deer, elk, or...

Has anyone heard any real numbers or percentages of decline in nonresident moose preference point sales in Wyoming? A few months ago, we all made dire predictions (myself included) that we would no longer buy nonresident moose preference points in Wyoming when they jacked the price to $150. I...

The deadline for Oregon spring bear was yesterday. Anybody else now waiting for results? My dad, my uncle, and I are in for a Northeast hunt, and if I draw, I'll plan to take my 10-year-old in the Mentored Youth program. Spring bear is the most "social" of the hunts I look forward to every year...

My daughter and I were fortunate to fill our deer tags yesterday morning, both on our property within about an hour of each other. Both are forked horns, but even a forked horn is well regarded around here. Of course it meant she was late to school, but her teacher is a hunter, so that worked...

So my daughter has the youth bull tag this year, and I'm trying to nail down some details in preparation for the trip. One question that I need to figure out is what we will do with a head if she shoots a bull. I figure a spike warrants a plaque mount and a behemoth gets a shoulder mount, but...

OK, I found the answer to the question I asked about the youth hunt a couple of days ago. The harvest stats were in a hunt planner page. Got that covered. Now the real question. My daughter and I have been talking about the youth bull hunt. We are in a unique position with her plans for this...

Can anyone direct me to harvest stats for the youth any bull elk hunt in Utah? I don't doubt that it's on their website, but I can't find it. Thanks. QQ

There was some conflicting information on the recent thread about preference point fee increases in Wyoming. Since I'm impatient and want to know, I asked G&F what they were going to be. My answer came today. Per the email, the fees for 2018 will be: Antelope $31 Deer $41 Elk $52 Moose $150...

So I'm a relative newcomer to some of this stuff, but curious about how this works. I know Nevada only offers mountain goat tags to residents at this point, but what would it take for them to start offering even one tag for non-residents? Obviously residents are happy to keep them all for...

So my wife and I have talked about going on a bison hunt sometime. We would be looking for meat and adventure, so we wouldn't feel a need to hold out for a bull. The two cow hunts I've read about are the Wyoming hunt around Jackson and the Henry Mountains hunt in Utah. I've looked at the state...

SOMEBODY needs to bring some life to this forum! :) Just finished with our 2016 spring bear apps for Oregon. Our primary plan is for our daughter to draw her first bear tag and hunt the West Blues hunt. I'm not really sure it's so much better than any other NE spring hunt, but it takes more...

I apologize for asking such a simple question here, but I looked at the Montana website and couldn't sort out the exact numbers. If I apply for only an antelope tag in Montana, what is my total cost to apply, and how much would I receive as a refund if I didn't draw? Just thinking about building...

The Oregon guys on the board are probably familiar with Faith in the Field, but I thought the rest of you might enjoy our latest video efforts. Jeff and a buddy took their 5-year-old boys on their first bear hunt last weekend, and they were rewarded with a successful hunt. Hope you enjoy...

Anybody going after spring bear this year in Oregon? Have you made your plans and applied for tags yet? Two years ago I hunted with a party of four in the Snake River unit, and my nephew shot his first big game animal. I've been ready to go back ever since, and I'm hoping to establish a plan...

I've read several times about the possibility of license fee increases coming soon in Wyoming. Apparently they've tried once, and another try is coming in the near future. I'm not interested in a discussion of whether the increases are warranted at this point, just trying to understand how it...

Hi, everyone, I'm the new guy. I usually hang out on another hunting forum (one with a name that suggests that Ifish), but this seems like a question better suited to ask here. My wife and I are talking about buying some preference points (probably for her), and trying a Wyoming moose hunt in a...
