What unit did you apply for?

Well spent $650

Did you apply for early rifle in 9. I am in the resident pool with 25 years of points plus Hunter ed and loyalty for a total of 27

Early rifle elk unit 9. 25 year wait.

Thank you. I have been very, very lucky.

The first pic is the 2020 Idaho buck. The second and third are from a Mt OTC buck it has double eye guards on both sides. Hopefully one of the pictures shows it. The last is my largest to date. A 220 class buck.

2020 Idaho OTC hunt

Sorry I meant to say something I haven’t been fortunate to kill…a big typical

Late Kaibab. 9 x 5 with a significant point broken off at the base of his right antler. I was looking for a big typical, something I have been lucky to kill, so I passed first time I saw this buck. The eye guards sold me on him. Extras get muleys killed. Unbelievably my fourth 14 point buck

Like new. Used only several times. $275 plus shipping from 85396. Let me know if you want more pictures.

For any of the units? Or one in particular?

Yes I find it interesting that they can update their social media feeds but not let me know when a good time to call would be?

Thank you. Had no idea Mullins was even out there.

I do realize that. I let them know it would be when it’s convenient for them. Two of them told me they would get back to me by weeks end. That’s been several weeks ago.

I have enough resident elk points to draw most of the early rifle elk hunts. I have been waiting a long time to draw so I reached out to four of what I think are some of the best outfitters for AZ. I am interested in range conditions, 2023 success, shot range etc, etc. Because I have waited...

9.5. The average age in that unit is 7.5-8 so I’m pleased.

Here’s a Wyoming Unit 5 ram, non wilderness unguided.

Great looking bull

I spoke with Don before the application period this year in Wy. I spoke with a few people he had consulted as well. One individual drove the Wood river road found a 6 yo sheep and climbed for 4-5 hours to get him. Another Wy resident who has helped on over 40 sheep in unit 5 goes in the Wood...

No need to apologize. I had two Wy residents that were very helpful, but quite a few more that were not. It’s okay, I realize it is my tag and I must be singularly responsible. I took the info and ran with it.

Bambistew, I’m with you but that is not a popular notion on this thread.

“Try finding that kind of info when you're on a DIY solo hunt. Yes this year I found out first hand how most Wy residents keep info to themselves even on OIL hunts

Great buck

So how do you all feel about these two kills?

I drew THE last PP tag for that unit. Thrilled to have the tag.

Sheep tag

No TMA tag. Open unit ram.

On those Idaho hunts I/we backpacked into the wilderness, made base camps near the truck and even headed to town every once in awhile for a shower. So yes we camped near the truck at times and at other times, no.

Thank you. All Idaho hunts were DIY. As you would expect the Alaska and Canada were guided. One Utah hunt my friend hired a guide the other was done DIY. At 42 I realized it was time to get things done if I was going to hunt sheep. With out drawing or buying a tag the north hunts are the...
