My girlfriend hunted with Birch Creek around the first of February and got her first elk on the morning of the 2nd day of hunting. Great staff who puts lots of effort into making you successful.

Surprised it captured all of those different animals. I captured a spotted skunk on one of mine back in Sept. Had to look them up since I didn't think they were in CA.

Girlfriend and I killed 2 antelope in NE wyoming 1225 miles from home. Field dressed, popped hindquarters off to put lengthwise and each fit in a 160 quart ice chest with plenty of room for ice (crushed, block, dry, etc.)

I've been working so much the deer decided to come to my house instead.

Totally agree. Dad and I hunted it about 10 years ago. Cold weather snap hit and bucks started rutting/fighting. Made hunting a little easier between that and less hunters.

Have you reviewed the DFW Spotkill Maps? Obviously 2021 map is likely not as representative due to the Beckworth Complex fire but previous years seem relatively concentrated and you can see which were Archery.

Hunted cow elk (early tag) in 2021. Focused in 071. Spoke to a few people hunting in 061 that I saw in 071 that said they hadn't seen much. They also were at the bar in Jarbidge so maybe that's why. We focused on 071 since the west portion of 061 had burned pretty recently then. That said, I'm...

My girlfriend and I both left G last year with no bucks. Even had one in the scope. Was in range for me and not really for her. Tried to get closer for her and it did what lots of deer do. It was a ~22-24" 3 point. Would have been a nice first buck for her. Even being from California, we...

It is not a joke nor was it any attempt to imply it only effects NR's. I was just asking because it wasn't included. Just because I'm not a resident of WY doesn't mean I don't care about the livelihood of big game animals regardless of where I live.

Were there also changes to resident tag numbers? I didn't see where those would have been listed. Saw the changes to season dates, harvest requirements, and NR. Just curious if there are more changes we don't see in these papers.

All of this information has been helpful. I appreciate everyone sharing their thoughts and experiences. Between the three cow elk hunting trips spending the most time in 062, 066 and 071, I wasn't really seeing the type of deer I'd plan on going after in those units understanding the number of...

I've searched and read quite a few posts about these two areas and am considering applying for one or both of them for my girlfriend. She has 5 points and after our botched backpacking Region G Wyoming hunt (don't bring newbie with you regardless of what they say) last fall, she is still...

In 2013, the small and medium sized bucks were following the does by the end of the first week. Applying as a party is always interesting. When I apply in Nevada, I put my girlfriend and I in separate. Applied for antlerless elk 4 times with same choices. She drew it 3 out of 4 and I drew...

I hunted X5B in 2013. While it was the first year after most of the zone burned, I don't know if I would use 18 points on it.
