Well no luck for me in the draw but congrats to those who did! If I look at my bonus points on my dashboard it has columns for ”species points”, ”loyalty points”, “hunter education points“, ”ethically hunting Arizona points”, and “total points”. The total points is correct. However when I...

I was wondering if anyone knows if the 2020 Big Game Job Completion Reports will be posted before the 1/31 NR elk deadline? I have max points and wanted to review them before I applied. I have been religiously applying every year for the desert units either 100 & 124 but havent’t been lucky...

I’m getting ready to work on my Oregon apps and was wondering if one of you Oregon muzzy hunters could clarify what constitutes a “legal bullet” in Oregon? The regulations prohibit “sabots or bullets with plastic or synthetic parts. Cloth, paper or felt patches are allowed.” Easy enough. Under...

Does anyone know why the success rate on this hunt went from 80% in 2013 to 0% in 2014? I called the IDG&F to confirm that the data was correct (confirmed) and have a call into the biologist to ask him about the lack of success last year but have not been able to connect with him yet. Since...

With regard to the sheep draw this year, the way I understand it is there are now 4 hunt codes; RMBS (17 tags), RMBS Ewe (12 tags), RMBS Ewe Archery (12 tags), and DBS (21 tags) for a total of 62 tags. Within those 4 hunt codes, applicants can select up to 3 of those 4 hunt codes, and then...

I have permission to deer hunt a ranch that has a lot of coyotes. Howver, the rancher believes in a "holistic" approach to wildlife management where the predators and prey cycles ebb and flow and is not to keen on letting us put a big dent in the coyote population which we believe would help the...

Well I struck out in the draws but congrats to all those that drew a tag! I checked my credit card on-line and saw that I have received most of my refunds except I wasn't refunded the $20 application fees. Maybe those will be refunded later as a separate credit? Has anyone got the app fees...

Hey MM hunters, I drew the NR archery elk hunt on Mt. Emily this year and will most likely be hunting on my own solo. From the information I have so far, it looks like I will be needing to backpack down into some of those deep roadless drainages from off the top. If I am lucky enough to arrow...

Following in Hoopscoach's footsteps, after two separate trips to Wyoming's Unit 26 and 19 days of hard hunting, I was finally able to put a tag on a respectable Shiras moose! I started hunting on the 28th of September with a bow and finally killed my bull on the 25th of October with a rifle...
