    WHY???

    On the other hand, I bet some guys come thinking they will try to get some info and then end up sticking around for years on a forum... I am guilty of coming and going. I have tried to help others and others have helped me. I drew a tag this year using almost 2 decades worth of points and my...

    unit 652, thoughts,,

    I hunted it last year. Only hunted 3 days and got one before the storm rolled in. Just an average 140 type buck. I am not a trophy hunter, so probably not the best to ask but......we saw a lot of bucks, several were bigger than the one I got, but not 170 for sure. 160 tops. I do know a couple...

    Unit 100 elk

    Thanks for the advice so far. Anything else as to access or where/how you would set your camp would be great. I won't turn down hunt area advice, but I am more fishing for where to attack from and not where to attack. If that makes sense....

    Unit 100 elk

    We drew 100 this year. Excited to do the scouting and the hunt, but have a few months to prepare before I actually get feet on the ground in the unit. I am looking for likely locations to camp for the hunt. If anyone has ideas or experience, I would love to hear any advice. I will contact local...

    Early Nonresident elk drawing comes to an end.

    I would bet this will change odds. I, for one, apply most years only because I can know the results prior to other applications. Having limited time to hunt, I play the game, apply and when not drawn will move on to other applications. I am much more likely to stay on the sidelines in the...

    MT unit 670 west of Opheim?

    My opinion is that you are likely to hit the rut just right. Yes on the camping IF you have the right gear. It can be dangerously cold and almost impassable with moisture. That time of year is a roll of the dice for weather. I always found a lot of out of state hunters went earlier to minimize...

    MT unit 670 west of Opheim?

    Let us know how you do. I grew up hunting that area. Used to be a lot of fun. Over the years, the bucks got smaller and the hunters multiplied. It became a hunt we didn't enjoy as much so we stopped around 15 years ago and moved onto areas with less pressure. Could still be a fun hunt, I am sure.

    SE Oregon Ram

    Very cool. I got a ram on Oregon Canyon mountain there in the trout creeks 9 years ago. Was a hunt I will never forget. Got mine on day 3 also! Congrats to the hunter.

    151-156 Early Mule Deer Rifle

    Tough hunt for those not local, we found out. We hunted it in 2016. My dad had hunted it years before and where they hunted.....there are basically no deer anymore. We had to shift gears. Took us 4 days to find deer. Finally stumbled on to a little pocket of bucks and both got decent ones, but...

    Unit 3 4th season deer

    Just wanted to say thanks for the advice from those who offered. We decided to put in for another state and gain 1 more point in CO. We probably won't draw in Utah, so that should leave me the time to go look at these units in the summer. Thanks again. Shane

    Unit 1 deer 2nd season

    In an effort to fully vet out areas of interest, I am wondering if this is a decent hunt? I don't expect anyone to jump at giving me specific areas, etc. I am just hoping to get some info on deer densities, access, type of country, etc. Looks like a lot if public land in a fairly small unit. I...

    Unit 3 4th season deer

    Thanks all for your replies. I am widening the search a bit and haven't yet made a decision. It is hard to make a decision when you live a long ways away and know you will never build up this many points again. 3 years ago, we used our max points on a deer hunt in WY that turned out to be a...

    Unit 3 4th season deer

    Looking for some general thoughts if anyone is willing to part with them. Dad and I have the points to draw. The units he originally was holding out for aren't going to pan out. He turns 70 this year and I don't want him to miss out on a good hunt before he can't get out and hit it pretty hard...

    They were nice to deal with, but quality wasn't there. I really wanted the design and size of there spike tent, but the first one was horribly sewn so I returned it. Gave them a second chance, but the replacement came with walls 6 inches too short for the poles..... I gave up and went to a...

    Nevada elk 76 early

    Drew this tag unexpectedly. If anyone on here has any general or specific advice on the hunt, I would certainly be grateful. I am not a real trophy hunter, but I will hunt hard and hope to find a good bull. Thanks in advance for any replies or pm's!

    NR max points advice?

    I know these posts come around every year. Bear with me. If you have general or specific advice, I will be willing to take it. My dad and I have max points in WY. We applied for both deer and elk last year and didn't draw. The units we applied for have low draw odds success even with max...
