Neither wife or I have IG. I sent them a message on FB so we'll see if I get a response that way.

No, but I think my wife does. I'll have her try it.

So I had a buddy of mine show me their system and seemed like a quick fix to having to realign my phoneskope every time I take it on/off my spotting scope. So I ordered a full system on June 2, got a confirmation email and haven't heard a peep since. I replied to my email a week ago asking if...

My daughter is 4,700 over on speed goats. So looks like we'll be hunting for those stinky critters this year. Year #31 for me with no chance at a sheep tag......

Maybe Utah doesn't like wives (or maybe having just one :).....my wife never got an email either.

Don't forget the flat bill with your hat covering your ears look also....I've had a couple fun stories with the folks from that state earning the label. It's well deserved by the hunt by committee crowd.

That's messed up if true. Can't say any of our party knows that on the donation aspect. Hoping to see something say "successful" by the end of the day!! tc

I had a late Utah tag in 2007 (drew with 1 point). Opening morning I missed a bull well north of 400-inches at 450 yards. Unfortunately in my younger years I was a much better shot with my bow than my rifle. We were able to watch that bull for 3 hours the day before the hunt started. I wish...

So to start, I’m not a newbie to hunting or hunting lopers but I admit I’m not as sharp on options in Wyoming. Between my wife and I we have 12/11 points respectively across the board but our daughters asked if we could take them Antelope hunting next year. So having a chunk of points puts...

Sign into ODFW as if you were buying a tag on the website. After you do, on the left side of the page will be links, one of which is your controlled hunt choices. After you click it your apps for this year will come up and to the right side will be your application number for each hunt...

Yep, she did. From the sounds of it we’re not alone.

My wife still has not got an email on her draw???? WTF…checked spam and everything.

I struck out but wife still has yet to get the email. Seems kinda late but I keep checking every 15 minutes. Have a buddy who drew Dutton archery but that’s it so far.

Killed this guy on the last morning of our hunt. Which in turn extended it by two days of packing meat :)

The hardest part in my opinion with new elk hunters is learning when to draw back. Lots of times they get locked up with an elk that close and don't know what to do. As a caller you can't be right behind her to tell her when. The first archery elk hunt with my wife I had someone calling for...

It's interesting to see how many folks here have unauthorized charges on their cards. Last year I had someone do a small amount about a week "after" I entered my info for the AZ draw. A week later they dumped nearly $3k in charges. The draw was the only thing I used my card for prior to that...

Well, a couple of us went to Idaho last week looking for a blind/deaf buck but unfortunately all we found was a lot of vacant country. I do have relatives in Idaho that hooked me up with the family "secret spot" only to get there and find out it was also the secret honey hole for about 50 other...

I'm always amazed by the idiots who have large fires this time of year in the woods. I was behind a guy at a construction site recently (with CA plates no less) and he flicked a lit cigarette out the window into the brush here in Central Oregon. I watched it start to smolder and gain smoke in...

All of the units you're mentioning have elk and all have pressure. Comes with OTC tags. Honestly, just pick one and expect to have to try harder than the next guy. 90% of people will be within a mile of the road. There are rag bulls to be had anywhere but due to the pressure you need to be...

I would target anywhere on the south slope of the brooks range as it's a little easier country vs the closer you get to fairbanks and south of there. There are multiple outfits that can do a drop float hunt out of fairbanks, I think there is one in coldfoot still. You'll probably have to book...

Good ideas all around. The Arizona archery deer I know will perk my girls attention since they're all about bowhunting right now. But I'll definitely look into the eplus option too. tc

So I'm in a bit of a quandary, my daughters sports schedule makes it hard for her to do any normal hunts in the fall with Volleyball starting in early august and basketball lasting well into winter. It seems the only time I can carve out where I can take my daughters on a hunt is during...

It's definitely in a downward trend. The footprint of wolves in Oregon is growing daily in the NE section and the affects of huge numbers of cow tags in the Central units are starting to show also. If you have points built up, burn them sooner than later. You can still find elk, but overall...

The two track roads you're referring to on top of Pisgah are closed to vehicle traffic. You can park down at the base and walk up or take a horse but you can't drive up to the top. The LEO ticketed a couple folks for taking their 4wheeler up there the last time I hunted 35 when I drove by them...

So I keep running into some interesting research roadblocks that I figured maybe the MM groups might help me with. I normally hunt CO 3rd season in a fairly easy to draw unit and we normally do pretty well as we hunt fairly hard (hiking in 1-3 miles in the dark or spike camping depending on...

I agree, no Rosey hunt in Oregon is worth that amount of points. I'm guessing padfoot has 24 points and wants to hunt Emily next year :) All seriousness, you can shoot me a PM if you want and I can help a little.

Powers or Melrose for Rosey's. However neither are the same experience as Mt. Emily. My advice, get the rifle Emily tag and do a mentor hunter with your son and let him shoot it.

I hunted it for two weeks last year. I swore I would never do that again. Yes, there are elk but every tag holder had 3-4 guys in tow. We basically timed it, if you found a bull talking you had 30 minutes to close the deal before someone else was calling at him and moving in. It was so...

Update, I want to thank the folks on here that gave me the contacts to the F&G folks that had access to at least provide me with some answers. As it turns out, I did not draw the tag so the bounce from my CC was a non-issue. Point creep was the culprit it seems this year for that unit...

I love internet experts.....the card was maxed out the day before, nor was I notified in any way. I don't exactly check my card daily. I put down the exact time of the following day because it was Friday at 5:02 when I found out. Thus, I wasn't able to follow up with F&G before it was too...

Sent you a PM.

Yes, they maxed out the card the day before F&G started hitting cards. Only reason I mentioned the time was it was past the time I could call F&G to attempt to rectify the issue. Seems interesting that another poster had a similar issue. tc

So a few of you on this site know already but I've had a horrid experience with my draw in AZ. With 11 points I was in a great position to draw a very good unit late hunt, most of the odds were in the 95-100% range. I started getting texts today while I was skiing from buddies asking if I...

Will do, sent you a note on ifish also. I'm a Redmond, Or resident myself. Should be interesting how it turns out. tc

I'm in the same boat. I have 11 points and was deliberating between 1 and 27 late this year as a non-res. I put in for 1 first choice and 27 second so we'll see how it shakes out. Dave, aren't you an Oregon guy? If we both draw we'll have to connect somehow. tc

I'm a member that also "used" to hunt here. I've had more than one run in with the Utah crowd. I'm also a non-resident when it comes to Colorado but what I noticed in general there was absolutely no consideration given from other Utes if you were in a spot or not. On one occassion, I walked...

I come from a state that had this happen, the result isn't pretty. When my state met the objective and tried to delist them, the enviro's sued saying it wasn't enough. It never ends. Try going to Northern Idaho or Western Montana to find a deer, they're almost non-existant as they don't stand...

Yep, my dad drew the W.John Day tag. Should be pretty incredible overall. I'm starting to get maps and info together now, would love to hear what you have intel on. PM's are fine or I can get you my contact info. tc
