My wife drew 40 this year as well. Oldest buck weve seen is 3.5 years old. Pretty abysmal hunting. Crazy how few deer we've seen overall.

Congrats to your son thats a great bull! Sent you a PM

My buddy shot a blondie end of May. I tagged out on my first archery bear this past Saturday. Decent boar.

I'm getting sick of this BS. Been putting in for all 4 species the last 11 years and have only drawn a cow elk and doe antelope tag. The buck tag I put in for is 20% odds and have never gotten it. Fish and game hates me.

Ensure you're actually prepared to pack an elk out. Have you guys been up to one on the ground before? This can't be stressed enough, especially if you are going deep on foot. Most of the time if you climb a couple thousand feet of elevation you can get away from most people. There's elk all...

What's crazy is, in this specific area, we saw 5 bucks with no antlers and 2 bucks packing only 1 side on December 26th.

I appreciate everyone who was willing to share advice! We filled all 3 doe tags within an hour and a half on public land.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-30-18 AT 07:14PM (MST)[p]Hey Fellas Just wanted to check in and see if anybody had some starting points to fill a couple doe antelope tags in 44 or 45. Preferably good glassing points to look over some area that hold antelope. Haven't spent too much time in these units but...

Guess everybody must be lying when they fill out their harvest report and say they killed a bull. Or sounds like you guys must have had a poor experience because you didn't get into the pockets of animals that are in there.

"Extreme exaggeration" of a solid .6% in 36. Unit 35 and unit 33 were both over 30% success in 2016 as well. Not saying the tag is worth a controlled hunt application but from what I saw last year deer hunting, seeing a handful of bulls while elk was open made me get wish I had a tag in my pocket.

Crazy to think just a couple years ago success was 40% for both archery and rifle in some spots. If you dont mind me asking what unit were you roaming around in?
