I have a tag for this 4th season buck hunt. Happens over thanksgiving. I have a few shooter bucks on trail cam. they are crossing my property a few times a week. I am at 8000ft elevation. will them buck still be around in a few weeks if they are not killed yet? I was up there a week ago checking...

I have tried several times now to get leftover tags, with no luck...

humm... the one I was chasing for 3 days had a very distinctive bugle too... i am wondering if we are talking about the same bull/

it was a big 5x5, surprisingly big

well, there were lots of hunters in the areas that I had previously scouted. I had to go with plan C.. I did get into elk almost every morning of the hunt. However, I was hunting the aspen stands, and I did not realize how difficult it is to get a shot off in some of that thick stuff. I had 4...

Any of you 61 archery or muzzy hunters willing to share some intel? I am headed out later this week for my first season bull tag. I have some spots picked out, but I will gladly consider any information. Aaron

Thanks for all the input gentlemen, I have spots to check out all over the unit. I need to narrow it down to a few spots. Heck that might changes as soon as I get feet on the ground there. I will be staying in Nucla this time, where is a good place to eat?

Thank you Coloradoboy, Isent you a PM

Hey there, I too have a 61 First season elk rifle tag this year. I decided to get out of the points game. I hope I picked the right unit. LOL! I am headed to Nucla for 3 days to do some scouting on that side of the unit. I have a hand full of areas picked out down there, and I am wondering if...

thanks for all the replies. I have about 20 or more mosquito bites on my back and arms. I left the mountain a day early because of this. the elk were in the dark timber, and it was wet in there. Heck I wanted to sit on a wallow, it was clearly being used. The mosquitoes were just too much...

How do you deal with the mosquitoes during the early parts of the archery hunt? was in Wyoming for opening weekend this year, trying to sit on a wallow or anywhere was almost impossible without being attacked by mosquitoes? Any suggestions?

My friend had that tag 2 years ago. he hunted unit 8. lots of elk hunters. my friend walked around talking to people in camp asking if they had seen any moose. one of the first few guys told him where they just seen a cow. my buddy went to the place he was told and shot his moose. not bad for 1...

First season rifle elk 581 for my son 14, daughter 12,and me as well as first deer season tags for the kids. I put in for a 4th season dear tag, moose tag for 7,8,9. I drew a Wyoming general elk tag this year. lots of fun getting the kids in the field..

Looks like we should have some cooler weather for the opening weekend of the first rifle season. Anyone have any updates of the elk activity? Is the rut winding down? was it a late rut this year? Good luck out there. Aaron

Man that is an awesome bear. Congrats!
