drew another skunk! I now have the following points: 2 deer 5 antelope 12 sheep X 3 species 12 Mt. Goat By the time I draw again, I'll have a walker and an oxygen bottle. Looks like a last minute, out of state scramble again.

Don't shoot the messenger, I cannot defend, nor do not support these efforts. That's why I encourage education and involvement of sportsmen. I have and love horses, but do NOT believe they should roam the wild. They are not native, and take food and water away from everything that is. I...

Your suggestion of the study of wild horse (and Burro) management is an absolute. Too many of us hunters come off as uneducated folks, spewing one-liners. It's all in fun in our own groups, but we need to come across as united, well funded and well educated on the issues when speaking outside...

Hunters need to show up for the BLM "RAC" meetings. This is the Resource Advisory Council. There is a public comment period during the meetings, the horse advocates are at every one of these meetings! Sometimes they are the only folks that make any public comment. The meetings are published...

I have had the good fortune of drawing this tag twice. Cold yes, be prepared, but I disagree with the other post about the quality of hunt. This is always one of my choices now. It is a tough hunt. As in most units, the further from roads and people, the more game you'll see. I only saw one...

Finally got my elk tag! Any input on this unit would be appreciated. I have hunted 17 late for deer in the last few years. Are all the elk in the wilderness areas in the Monitor Range? Is it something you can day hike to or should I prepare to pack in? I have two horses and I am not opposed...

I have used him several times for butchering and regularly travel all the way from the south end of Vegas to do business with them. I call my order in and it's ready with a smile when I get there.

I've had both the early and late hunt in this area, you're much better with the late hunt in my experience. I saw snow on both occasions. We spent considerable time between Siegel Creek and Shelbourne pass. The higher the better, we found. Lots of forkies and 3 points with a few 4X4's as...

Here's a link to my first published hunting story. I hope you all enjoy it. http://pvtimes.com/sports/hunting-a-family-experience/

Here's a link to NDOW's stat page. They have good info. http://www.ndow.org/hunt/resources/odds/#elk This site also has draw odds, not sure how accurate they are. I'd guess for archery, depending on the unit, you'll be several years at least. It all depends, you may get it first time. I...

I have the late tag (171-173) Scouted this weekend - very hot I had never been to this area, so I looked for services, access and talked to a few locals. Spent some time in Peavine Canyon and Leadbetter Canyon Send PM if yuo want more info. I'm planning another trip in 3-4 weeks

Best of luck to you. Depending on how far you pack into the wilderness area, you may want to hire a local with horses to pack in/out gear and hopefully your trophy, if you're doing a DIY hunt. Great folks in the Elko/Lamoille area. I would surmise that you'll do some scouting, get to know...

Anyone hunt this area before? I am heading up in two weeks to begin scouting and learning the area, should have quad maps by then. Planning on a DIY hunt.

When is your season? How far away do you live? How much time will you have to scout? How much time will you have to hunt? Do you plan to camp or hotel it? I can give you some pointers with this information. I drew an antelope and deer tag for 111-114, 111-113 respectively. I will keep my...
