Has anyone fed positive meat and bones to lab monkeys and dogs? I’m serious. It would be pretty easy to test this in a controlled setting. You don’t see coyotes, birds, or other consumers of carrion running around with CWD. It’s been around forever and will be around forever. It’s pathetic how...

The season dates being pushed back the last couple of years coupled with the snows during the past two 2nd Seasons have really reduced the quality of bucks in the Gunnison Basin. I saw on another site a harvest chart showing the last couple of years have seen 2-3x more bucks taken in the unit...

Western Wyoming took a beating last winter and I would not go there burning 10+ points. My guide from last year and I stay in touch. He returned this season to where I killed my buck. In addition to my buck, there was another herd in the drainage with a quality buck in it. He didn't see a single...

Yesterday in Colorado. I’m still holding out for something better, as I’m in the Gunnison Basin and rut is starting to heat up. Friend of mine couldn’t resist.

I was out there for 3rd season elk last year. I busted my tail for a legal 4x4. Day 1, I could've got a 180" buck but didn't have a tag. They were definitely rutting. Find the does and glass around them. Good chance a buck is laying up nearby and keeping his eyes on things. I was able to...

I was able to purchase a 3rd Season landowner voucher for this year. Thanks. Interested in a 2024 tag, as I'm sitting in no-man's land on preference points.

You went with a great outfitter. Had a great experience with them last year and would recommend. It's hunting, not killing. As my father has always told me, "If you're going to hunt North America, expect to be disappointed at times, regardless of where you go and who you go with."

Got in right at 11 MTN and punched in my first choice, came back and said on unavailable. Tried another option, unavailable. Very quick feedback, unlike in the past where it would take a lot of time to load just to let you down when it was sitting in your cart. Not sure how everyone else's...

Bump

Bump I put in for points this year and will not draw. Let me know if you have something available, please. Thanks!

I'm looking at doing an Aspen base for my 2022 WY buck. I am going to cut my own Aspen and have access to some with bear claw marks, which would be pretty cool. Does any one have any pics of their pedestal mounts with an Aspen theme? Open to ideas. Appreciate it in advance.

I'd add health insurance into the mix.
