Awesome job! Great hunt and way to put in the time. Being successful with a bow is the cherry on top.. And lifetime worth of memories! Too bad we have these old timers make comments like they do. Legit is why no one comes to share their success on this site like we used to. Keep your damn...

I've applied now 8 years in a row, mainly for elk. 0 for 8. Ha! I am swinging for the moon on some of the units i'm applying for, but I am in the outfitter pool, just hasn't helped quite yet.. maybe this year :sneaky:

Blows my mind the amount of negative comments from you guys. Dude killed a great buck, like the picture and move on. No wonder no one wants to post pictures on this forum for you all to pick apart.

Can't say enough good things about Biggerstaff! Great memories, this is my dad and his bull from this year.

Hunted with Biggerstaff on the archery hunt this year. There were 3 hunters in camp and all killed solid bulls. We have Hunted with other outfitters and can honestly say biggestaff is far and behind better than anything else we’ve experienced. If you have any specific questions shoot me a PM I...

All it takes is one hot cow......

Lol, wow didn't realize we'd have a few butt hurt dudes after I simply posted a pic of my dads hunt saying we had a great time. Going into the hunt we knew the potential of 55, But our goal was just to have a fun experience as a father and son in a unit we had never hunted, and to kill a buck...

Hunted 3rd 55 2 years ago while my dad had the tag. Had a great hunt and luckily got some decent weather to move around some of the bucks.. if you can get away from the OTC elk hunters you'll be solid!

Easiest/best accommodations hotel wise i've found in Gunnison is Holiday Inn express. Free breakfast, clean. Stayed there twice while hunting

I was on the fence as well. I'm young and healthy, rarely if ever get sick. Didn't care what others were saying i wanted to make it my decision. For some reason felt super strongly to get back at the end of May(Pfizer 1st Dose), wasnt in a rush to get the 2nd. My wife ended up getting covid in...

looking at your unit specifically, it shows 68 NonRes put in with 2 points, and 62 of those drew the tag. So you're not the only one. There were 157 Non Res with 1 point and 57 of those drew. Kind of sucky but thats how a majority of the units worked out to be with not everyone with the higher...

✋? :)

i had lasik 4 years ago, best thing i ever did. As a bowhunter i hated to compensate with glasses. Or fogged up glasses, or not being able to see when I didn't have them. I did lasik and i had better than 20/20 vision the same day of surgery. would do recommend it to anyone

Got SUPER lucky and drew Pahvant Arhery elk, not telling how many points I had because i'd probably be run outta here :)

Their tough to come by unit wide for sure. I've seen a few come up the last couple years and they've been towards the middle/end of summer when a lot of hunters already have their plans put together. Each year gets a little tougher which is unfortunate. Ones I saw last year were 8500 for the tag...

Buckhorn, founder said in his first post that he got his buddy a tag.. no mention of his dad hunting 70..

I do prefer to do DIY, but wouldn't mind a referral for an outfitter either though if someones had a positive experience. Thanks

We drew unit 55 3rd season deer, in the past we've had success reaching out to landowners/outfitters and arranging a trespass fee hunt to access private land in other units in CO. Would anyone have any referrals they'd recommend starting to look or a contact we could reach out to for unit 55?

Agreed, harvest stats mean nothing for me personally. I’ve seen the reports on where i hunt and they are so low.. doesn’t mean opportunity is low if you know how to get after it..

Muzzie Tag > Rifle Tag

Hunted unit 10 2nd archery before. very tough unit with great potential just not a ton of elk on this unit. You do have to get away from the roads as much as possible even though you will see some from the dirt roads on the unit. the only way we found success was locating them by their bugles...

RE: Newbee here, Drew a tag for New Mexico Unit 34 any advice appreciated! There are elk everywhere in 34. You will have a few cows in estrus getting the bulls fired up but it will be inconsistent during the first part of the hunt. If you can find a decent water source hunt that the early...

Awesome advice thanks shootem! I'm pretty sure that is what I'm leaning to do. I've reached out to a few landowners but a lot are booked so I'll keep searching!

Though i don't have the 'tag in hand' I put in for this unit with well enough points to draw and just trying to plan ahead. I will have the 3rd season rifle deer tag and would love some input. I put in for this unit because I will be bringing my 7 year old daughter and wanted her to have a good...

Anybody have any leads to 2 tags? Looking for 2 archery elk tags! Thanks in advanced!!

There are plenty of landowner tags that are guided that you can purchase in New mexico for less than $10k. I've seen some quality units going for $7,500-$9k for tag and guide fees I'm sure there are some going for less as well. Check places like huntin fool and gohunt or a simple google search...

All in for G this year, 7 points in the regular draw.

Mtn Ops is owned by hunters who support our public lands. They were blindsided by the statements of politicians at the party. They have since made a apology for those that heard about it and also came out with their own statement on what they support.. https://mtnops.com/public-lands/

All great advice! And killer bulls! Thanks for the PM's!

I'll be chasing bulls on 34 during the 2nd archery and cannot wait! This will be our first time on the unit so I've been doing a ton of research and spending plenty of time on Google earth finding areas to get away from the roads. Anybody have any photos from 34? Or any harvest photos? Trying...

Maybe you should stay home next year... I'd hate for all these "young" social media followers to make you mad and get on the computer to complain about it again in 2017

After reading the comments here something definitely needs to change, I just drew dedicated this year for the first time, and after reading posts like this totally makes me wish I never put in for the program in the first place. It honestly cant be that hard DWR.

This is terrible. Not sure how they can punish you the sportsman for their lack of professionalism in not meeting you those two separate times when they said they would.. How they cannot accept your hours or even try to work something out with you is a joke.

Early season pre-rut elk hunting you can spit out a few cow calls in an area you know there are bulls, you won't get an answer but theres a very good chance you will get bulls coming into you silently to check out whats going on. I've had a ton of success getting into an area and doing some cow...

Any favorites? Any suggestions? Got Lucky enough to draw the tag!

hey wildlife i sent you a PM check it out real quick
