Son and I have max points but would prefer to hunt two years rather than both same year.

Hunted that area last year and filled up with gas from there numerous times.

Jims hit it on the head when he said droughts and winter kill can have a huge effect on what are considered trophies from year to year. During my research I was fortunate enough to talk to a state employee who had spent almost the whole summer working in the unit we hunted. He said he had 6...

Son and I cashed our points (8.5) last year. I am far from a expert on this but I did do a lot of research. There are 3 things hunters are looking for in this order. Trophy potential, public land, quality of hunt ( number of tags). We decided to use our points on a unit that we were pretty...

Yup Buckhunter1955 I and my son are in the same boat. We will have 24 in the next draw. Sure sounded good when we started. My son is 36 so he might be able to wait it out if he chooses for maybe a early rifle in 61 or 76. I will try and dump mine next year and no I was not to smart.

For years I drove a Chevy and chained up all 4. Now I drive a Ford and in the owners manual it says chains only on back tires. Anyone out there only chain up the backs? How effective will they be?

Wow is right, it is no big deal. I received my credit card bill yesterday and had a 84.50 charge. I knew about the conservation stamp but was a bit confused about the archery permit as I do not remember requesting one throughout the application process. I then came across this thread and thought...

Thanks Bob but just to be clear I am a NR and received my license awhile ago. I did not try to purchase any stamps or archery permit since my application, so I was just wondering if there was a box to check when I applied for the archery permit that I don't remember. Need it anyway but was just...

I drew a type 1 elk tag and just was charged with a conservation stamp and archery stamp $72. I do not remember informing them in any way that I wanted a archery stamp. Do they automatically charge you for one or am I forgetting checking a box or something? No problem because I do indeed plan on...

Son and I hunted 106 last year 3rd week. Plenty of animals but never seen a decent buck in 4 days of hunting. Guessing 60 + bucks a day.

pymulies good point and thanks for your reply. Liked every one else would like a big bull but the experience and adventure means more to me and any bull would do. I am in good shape and will get in even better shape if I knew I had a tag. There are units I could draw but would need a resident to...

Like many I am chasing units but just a point or two shy to get units I am looking at. I will apply with the hope that for some reason a certain hunt will not have point creep and I get lucky. Problem is I want to hunt this year as it has been 8 years since I had a elk tag in my pocket. Is there...

Well finally have time to report on my son and I antelope hunt in unit 106. These two were as good as we could do. In four days of hunting from first light to last light we seen one a little bigger and maybe 4 more about the same size as the ones we shot. Just loaded with small bucks and plenty...
