I second the dumb ass people. First hunt I felt was slow we were in elk everyday but not rutty elk till about the 8th. Stuck mine in the 13th a 340 type bull. My old man had the second hunt and we had 3 big bulls found from my hunt and we were on a 370-380 type bull found we couldn’t make a play...

But you’re wrong here….. those tags from the Eplus wouldn’t be added to the draw….. Or at least the shouldn’t be because then you take the acreage out of being able to hunt….. this I believe is the biggest misconception about it all is people think the eplus UW tags would all the be funneled...

I second Anthony Hampton with Hampton Trophy outfitter’s DM me I’ll get you his number

Again….. I think an easy change in the dates would significantly reduce success. Your talking limit archery from 0-80 yards to 40 yards….. and not muzzy’s that shoot out to 600??? Us as a hunting group I think, as I’ve already stated, have to come to realization that times are not what they were...

Exactly…. 5 point restrictions and push the dates and then the rifle guys that went all in on ML and the archery guys that couldn’t make the cut that also went all in would re-think hunting with a ML because now we’re not chasing bugling bulls and trying to get into 400-500 yards…. We have to...

Amen

Most accurate post right here. To touch on this a little. If you cut tags then you have more Hunters complaining about not drawing tags. I think everybody needs to start realizing draw odds are going to continue to get worse and worse. I do think that if we manage a few units better for quality...

Push all gun hunts to November in top tier units and do away with rifle and make it any legal weapon. Be the best way to drop some success rates in rifle hunts and get some age back on some of the animals in the woods. Keep a youth hunt in September, maybe have 1 very limited tag any legal...

I say they push the season back a week at least.

Good unit with lots of elk. Muzzle loader is a great hunt there. Off subject they should definitely look at moving the COER for that unit so the ranches on the out skirts don’t have a free for all from oct 1 to end of January. Also another unit that I think these new super muzzy’s and early...

i wouldn’t be against i power limit on scope for Muzz, I think true trophy potential has gone down for a multitude of reasons. Almost every elk in the woods has been seen on a trail cam….. outfitters mass 2,3,4,5+ guides to keep tabs on animals….. we’ve got radios calling out positions…..we have...

Basic math says half this year and half next year doesn’t increase your odds. A 10% chance this year and the next and the next gives you a….. 10% chance to draw and hopefully in 10 years you will pull a tag…. You cut applicants in half….. you have a 20% one year and 0% the next which in turn...

I feel like unit 34 is the worst about this with being outside of the core management area….. their is A LOT! Of elk outside of that management area and a couple certain outfitters get a bunch of tags because of it….

We take cattle off the NF and grazing and then beef prices sky rocket because big ranches aren’t family ranches anymore they are corporate tax incentives. You take small families out of the game that get to lease these ranches and create even a bigger empire for the wealthy. This country is so...

They lease the NF they dont just let their cattle graze it for free…..
