Mine says "Pending" on the family sponsored big game combo. (Dad lives there and I used to) Will be bummed if I don't draw. We have plans!!!

I drew a 52 bull tag. Season is from Aug 1-29. 3 weeks away!!! I'm excited but freaking out. Never hunted elk that early. Thinking it?ll be hot! A chance at a bull in velvet really has me dreaming. Anyone ever had that hunt?

Loading up and headed out on Thursday. Can't wait to get in the hills and try to find her a buck. Got some good starting points, good glass and a strong back (or 2) ready! Thanks for the advice and PM's. Wish us luck!

Thanks for the replies. Also received a nice PM from a guy. This site is a great resource. Been studying maps and trying to get a plan. Looks like it's going to be a great time in the hills with my favorite (don't tell my son) hunting partner.

Looking for a spot to camp in 54. Only driven through, never hunted it. My 11 year old daughter was lucky enough to draw this tag. Season is Oct. 5-31. We are driving up from San Diego and my dad will be driving down from Montana. Setting up wall tent and would like to make it as memorable as...

Congrats on a great tag Outdoordan! Either one is going to be a hunt of a lifetime. Can't wait to see "hero pics" with a big old buck. Hope to see you share them on here. Good policy on not giving a cyber warrior any energy. Seems that some guys just argue for the sake of arguing.

Thanks Brian!!! That makes sense I was too excited to comprehend the math. My 10 year old son drew a javi and a coues tag!!! Can't wait to find out where...

I got hit twice $15 and $25. I think it's youth tags for my son but can't figure it out. Those amounts don't make sense to me. Any ideas???

Thank you all for the kind words. I read the comments to my son and he got a pretty big kick out of them. We are going to give it another try this weekend. He said he wants to set up the decoy and run the call so I can try to whack one with my bow. I guess after he killed this one he thinks he's...

I've been going nuts trying to get something to come in with this thing. My son and I added a "Woolly Bully" decoy to our set up and called in 4 dogs on 2 sets. First set he missed at 200 yards with his .17 HMR. Second set we had 2 working us and this one came smoking in. He center punched him...

My son smoked this dog at about 150 yards with my 22-250. It was too cold to set up and call so we just cruised around, glassed and made a couple stalks. Fun but bitter cold day on the Blackfeet reservation -7 degrees!!!

My son and I are 1 tiny coyote for 14 attempts with the $500 Foxpro firestorm I bought. I'm trying to think of what else I could use it for. 1. Boat anchor (not heavy enough) 2. Wheel chock for my trailer (not strong enough) 3. To play music on (only if I want my favorite George Strait song to...

Since drawing my elk tag all I can do is think about how it will all play out. To say I'm excited is an extreme understatement. My wife and kids know how crazy I am and agreed to take a summer trip with me to check out my area. We also went to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, both were amazing! We...
