    2021 Whitetail Success Thread!

    Shot this buck on November 4th at 3:30 in the afternoon. Only my second day of hunting in Wisconsin. After being gone for 11 days elk hunting in Wyoming I didn’t push to hunt too much at home. Trying to keep the home front happy.

    How are preference points weighted?

    My group of 5 is planning on applying for general elk in the regular drawing In 2021. We will have an average of 3.6 points. I see the draw odds were 100% with 3 points this year. Assuming point creep will continue as it slowly has in the general regular draw it will take <4 to have 100% draw...

    Elk units 86, 92, 94

    I realize it won’t be easy, but we will be as prepared as we can. I know there will plenty of learning as we go, but you never learn if you don’t try. Does anyone know of any outfitters that will pack meat out in any of these units? This may sway some of decision making on the spots we decide...

    Also, I will have 6 points by the time we apply, and others will have some points as well, but the group will most likely have to piggy back off of my points.

    Thank you for the replies. Talking about pressure. If we were to archery hunt I would plan on the first or second week of the archery season. Is the pressure the same during the archery season?

    Elk units 86, 92, 94

    I'm in the process of planning an elk hunt for myself and 4 other guys. Our total elk hunting experience is two elk hunts. One went with an outfitter rifle hunting in Colorado, and myself OTC DIY archery in Colorado. So not a lot of experience. I've narrowed my search to units 86, 92, and...

    Our season started yesterday, October 15th, in Wyoming. My Dad has only mule hunted once back in the 70?s, and this was my first experience ever hunting for mule deer. My Dad is 71, and this will be his last time most likely to take a hunting trip like this. We left Wisconsin Saturday morning...

I-80 is closed and I-25 doesn?t look good. Do they put salt out the interstates in Wyoming? We?re...

    My dad and I will be mule deer hunting in October with region E tags. We will be concentrating on units 96 and 97. Will it be in our best interest to have leather gloves and knee pads for stalking in these units? I have spots in both lower and higher elevation areas picked out to hunt. Of...

    Antelope 68/ Mule deer Region E

    Hello All, I'm starting my planning for a 2018 trip for my dad and I. We both have 7 antelope points and 3 deer points going into the 2018 draw. After doing my research I feel like antelope unit 68 would be a good fit for us. My dad will be 71 next year and I think we'd be chasing one of the...

    Utah- preference point or bonus point or both?

    With the deadline looming for buying a preference point or bonus point for elk in Utah I'm trying to figure if I should buy both. These will be my first points of either kind for Utah. My long term plan is to build points in Wyoming for a hunt within the next ten years. Even if I don't get to...

    Wilderness Study Areas

    I'm researching the best antelope units for the future when my Dad and I have built up more preference points. We both currently have 5. We also have 1 mule deer point a piece. I'm looking to possibly have both of those tags for when we finally get back out there to hunt, but the emphasis...
