This is the last year of mandatory paper application for NR, thank gd. I didn't receive my brochure, and the deadline is next week. I know that a few years ago CPW were putting an application form on the website couple of days before the deadline. Are they still doing that? I need an...

I'll be hunting elk in unit 48. Anybody know a meat processing in Leadville or near unit 48 ? Thanks Martin

I'll be hunting the first season, starting Oct 10th, in unit 48. It will be my first unguided elk hunt, so some pointers would be appreciated. What is the usual weather then ? I know it changes a lot in the mountains and you have to be ready for everything, but what is typical ? How high are...

I applied with a friend. I will be our first elk hunt, except a trip in BC 5 years ago. We should draw with the points we have. I know it is OTC in 2nd and 3rd season so we don't expect big bulls, but the success rate is decent during the 1st hunt. Anybody has experience in 48 ? Any pointer...

Hi guys I'm applying with a friend for a Colorado elk hunt this fall. We have enough points so we expect to draw, but the last thing we want is for one of us to draw and not the other since we live 2000 miles away ! I entered my CID # on his application, will it linked automatically to my...

A friend and I have enough points to draw this hunt( we have 6, NR ). We are just looking for a fun hunt with reasonable success. I studied the maps, would go in the southern half, from Ouray to Virginia Peak, La Plata Peak to Middle Mountain. Any opinion, advice ? Thanks a lot.

We are considering an elk bowhunt in the south part of unit 66. We would like to have a packer in case we get Lucky, to help pack out an elk. Any recommendation ? Thanks in advance.

We are considering going for elk next year, in area 56. We are non-residents so will have to hunt to non-wilderness par of NF. We would like to have a packer to can help us get an elk out ( or 2..) should we get Lucky. Any recommendation ? Thanks in advance. We had a wonderful hunt last year...

I started in northern BC, with Greg Williams, Golden Bear Outfitting, in late August, early September. I got a nice 10-year old Stone Sheep and a big Mountain Goat. Then last week I was bowhunting in my home province of Qu?bec,for moose. I shot that bull at 30 yards after calling him in...

Anybody has experience in that unit ? I'm considering a bowhunt, would love to hear from people what they think...

I know it is rough country, but I'm researching unit 53 for elk and deer, probably for archery season. Is Latir or Wheeler Peak wilderness better, or about the same ? How much game can one see, and what is average size ?

..with your state of Wyoming. I've been dreaming of a self-guided in the West for the last 9 years. When Wyoming started the point system for r?sidents, I patiently build up points for mule deer, antelope and elk, with 2 friends. We decided to go this year on a mule deer/antelope combo, in...

I will hunt in Wyoming for the first time this fall, coming from the East. We have tags for antelope 63 and deer 89. I have maps of both units, an atlas and a GPS with a chip. I see a ton of roads, some numbered but a lot of small, probably 2-tracks. We want to be responsible hunters, we don't...

We drew tags for deer 89 and antelope 63. We plan to overnight in Casper. We are looking for a place to have our game processed, any recommendation ? We are also looking for a motel with kitchenette to cook quick meals in the evening. Thanks for your help Martin

We did draw deer and antelope licenses for this coming fall. We still haven't received them though. When are they mailed ?

I have 5 points for elk in AZ. But the table doesn't give me a loyalty point. I believe I didn't miss a year so it would be 5 in row, I tought I would have a loyalty point by now for a total of 6. Am I wrong ? Does that mean I missed 1 year so I don't have 5 years in a row and don't get that...

I now have 5 points. Anybody knows the maximum points in MT ie how many years the point system has been in place ?

We plan to hunt Wyoming unit 89 ( and Unit 63 for for antelope )this fall. It is our first DIY hunt out West, any help would be appreciated. We will be 3 hunters. We plan to stay in Alcova, for now I plan to go in the SW corner of the unit, but we won't be able to scout, since we live 2000 miles...

This monster 33" buck was killed last week in Alberta. I don't know much about the story, except that the guy forgot his camera and ended up taking this picture back in the motel room. What a buck !! http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos/4848image.jpeg

I went back to where I hunted in 2010 for a bighorn. I hunted 15 days that year, saw 12-14 rams but never found a legal, full-curl ram. I hunted in september this year, the weather was warm, saw only 3 immature rams. I got a decent mule deer, at least for the aree I was hunting in the Kootenays...

Where are the best early-season, mountain mule deer hunts ? I'm not talking about your secret hole, but either long-odds tags, or outfitter areas ( like BC or WY wilderness ) or landowner tags. If you could go on only one september hunt in the high country, where would it be ?

I'm looking for a new rifle, for hunting medium-size game,like mule deer. I'm set on a 7mm-08, I want a light-to-average weight rifle, not a super-light one (say 6.5 to 7.25 lbs gun before the scope ). I want a synthetic stock and stainless steel or similar barrel. My first research gives me...

We are planning a mule deer/antelope combo in Wyoming, and are looking at unit 87 ( unit 62 for antelope ). The antelope season ends Oct 14th, the deer season starts the 15th. We would get there to hunt 12-13-14 for antelope, then more or less a week for deer. We have max points so our chances...

I'm living a dream this year : I will hunt sheep for the first time, in September 2010. I'm scheduled to hunt bighorn sheep in BC, in the Kootenays, with Alex Smutny - Bugle Basin Outfitters, Sept 9-18. This is a I'm also allowed a mule deer. That will be my second hunt out west, I was in...

I'm planning my first ever bowhunt for elk, and I've selected unit 45 in New Mexico, in the Pecos Wilderness. I will hunt with 2 friends, we're all first timer. I'm training hard to be ready, will get packed in on horses, then we plan to backpack and remain mobile to go after the elk. We expect...

What do you guys think of using a booking agent for outfitted hunts ? What are the pros and cons ? I can see that he can only refer to outfitters that are wiiling to pay him a commission so some very good outfitters may not need an agent to get fully booked, while some lesser outfitters may...

Anybody knows/heard of/hunted with these guys ? Sam Morrow or Dave Butcher from Texas Creek Outfitters, Unit 48-49 in Colorado ? Martin

Anybody know Unit 61 in CO ? I'm considering a bow hunt for muleys, I have the points that are usually needed. I believe access is not too bad, and I see the average success is good. What kind of terrain is it, can you spot and stalk, what is the hunting pressure, what kind of buck are coming...

We are looking to bowhunt Colorado next year, we will have 3 points by then. Then we would like to try Nevada high country archery, in 2009 or 2010, but we don't have any point for now. I'm thinking about 101-108 early tag, and chances are good to draw without any point, decent kill rate. But...

I'm plannig a bowhunt in late august, early september in the Uncompahgre for 07 or 08. We should have enough points for unit 61 in 08. We are looking for someone who could drop us 5-10 miles in the wilderness and pick us up later, and that could bring back meat should we get lucky. The rest of...

Anybody can recommend an outfitter for an elk or elk-mule deer combo in British Columbia for 2007 or 2008 ? We are 2 hunters, interested more in seeing lots of game, than in monsters, since it will be our first trip out west. Being from eastern Canada, it would be easier not to cross the border...

Anybody has experience hunting elk and mule deer in BC, Canada ? I'm planning a trip, for next year, from Eastern Canada, and would like a starting point. Thank you Martin

Just got a Leica Ultravid 8X42, brand new, today, priced 1850 $can, that would be around 1690 $US, here in Montreal. Tried other brands, that was simply the one I liked better. Can't wait to hunt with them now... martin

I would like to hear from people using a rangefinder for bowhunting. What model do you like ? I would go for a moderately priced one if it is doing the job ? Any one can recommend ? Thanks Martin

Good news ! The Conservatives have won, although they will have a minority government. They planned to scrap the gun registry, but will probably not have the support they need from another party to do it, until next time when I hope they will be a majority. Still, less government is a good...

As an Easterner who would like to hunt Western States over the next years, would you please help sorting out the preference points system in your state. Specifically I would like to know where would you apply I bought pref points for elk and mule deer in Colorado last year. Was planning to do it...

Guys I know that the unlimited area of MT is very rough country - I read Jones story in his book - One man, one rifle, one land. I also know about the quota system, success rate... Anybody hunted the area before and can tell me more about the place, or the time it takes before they close the...

Can't wait ! A week of bowhunting for moose in one of the best areas in Quebec. Hope the weather turns colder... Martin

Can anybody tell me if the point system is worth it in Montana for sheep and goat, do points really increase your drawing odds ?
