Been to CO many times but always for elk. Cashed in points and am hoping to get out there during archery elk season if time permits. Not sure if we are going for a hotel or possible camper rental. I know the early season we have I've heard "Go high" so preparing for that. Looking forward to...

I've hunted elk in quite a few units in Colorado over the years but not deer yet. Have 12 points and am looking at deer hunting. I've been scouring over the stats for what we can draw and also comments on different units. We are looking at the following units and just wanted to ask for opinions...

I haven't put in yet for points but a friend called me who was applying for elk/muley points and said that they appear to be requiring you to hold a qualifying hunting license before applying. I know Utah did that years ago with requiring a small game so just thought I'd ask to confirm....

A friend and I have been putting in for points for elk and have 11 points now. We put in for Unit 76 archery but it's creeping and I don't think we can catch it. Also thought about Unit 49 MZ (drop camp) but now that creeped up 1 point. My friend doesn't want to pack out an animal so that is...

A friend and I have 9 points for elk and I've been looking at different units to put in for. There isn't a lot out there for the points we have but have been looking at Unit 40 bow and also Unit 20 MZ. I'd really like to wait for unit 76 bow but not sure we can catch the point creep. Not sure we...

Been hunting elk with a bow for quite a few years....great experiences....but after years of sports, outdoors, etc it's not working....can't pull bow back and decided to send in for temp exception for a crossbow....and I've already been getting some ribbing from my hunting partners but I can...

2 guys I hunt with want to use our points for muley this fall. I've been researching the net and CO website for stats and comments on units that we could possibly draw. Anyone have any input on which would be better unit in terms of public land, etc. I'll keep looking out and researching but...

Just returned from Eastern Montana where I was hunting mulies with 2 of my brothers and a brother in law. Hunted block management and BLM land. Earlier than I would've liked to go but it worked out best for them. Each filled our tags on deer and although no wall hangers I had fun hunting with...

Just returned from Wyoming on an elk hunt. We had a great time and managed to take a 6x6...not the biggest bull in the woods but I was very happy....

Just got these two back from Taxidermist. Far from any record books but each a good representation and I had a blast hunting WY public land as well. They turned out pretty good....

It's been a few years since I've put in for Montana. Brothers wanted to go this year and I don't get to hunt with them that much anymore....I couldn't recall if results came out in Mid May or later? Anyone??

Anyone ever watch this show? I just happened to turn on tv to sportsman's channel and caught the beginning where they show various kill shots....he shoots a a running Kudu and then takes a shot at a grizzly bear and hits it right in the head....wow....he's either a terrible shot or meant to...

Had fun chasing mulies and antelope the last week of October. Antelope were super spooky as anticipated but made a nice stalk on one plus another stalk on a muley that worked out just right.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-13 AT 02:19AM (MST)[p]LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-13 AT 00:10?AM (MST) Just returned from hunt. Had a few rain out days and managed to call in a bull on 4th day of hunting. He came running down thru the aspens above me to within 15 yards. When I first spotted him I'd just...

Looking forward to the trip to Wyoming again this year. Last fall we drew 45 Elk. I know the units I'm hunting aren't considered high quality but I really wanted to get back to visit friends in Thermopolis and it will be a fun hunt. No expectations other than enjoying my time there. Planning on...

Anyone ever hunt with this outfit or hear anything good or bad about them? Any info would be appreciated...

A friend and I ventured to North Central Wyoming (Unit 45) bowhunting. Saw lots of wildlife including some elk. We were bouncing around different areas and weren't hearing a ton of bugling. On a few mornings they were bugling hard and On my 3rd evening, I found a herd bull bugling hard across a...

Does anyone know of a good bow shop near Unit 45? Have never hunted that area and will be bow hunting for elk this fall. Just wanted to know in case the worst happens....

Hunting 45 this fall. I'm going to bring freezer, gen, and food saver but thought I'd ask if anyone knew if there were any in the area. Hopefully I'll have an elk to cut up and am planning for DIY....

A friend and I drew an elk tag for Unit 45. Non res so we'll be hunting the non wilderness areas. Hoping to get out there a few days before the bow season starts to scout it out. Anyone have any tips/suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

I hadn't hunted Montana in a few years so was excited to hunt there this fall with a friend. Had a great trip and managed to knock down this buck as well as filling an additional doe tag. Not the biggest buck in the woods but he tastes great!!

Anyone know anything about this unit for elk? Just wonder if it would be worth looking at with max points. Eastman listed it as a blue chip but of course I should probably take that with a grain of salt. Just curious if anyone is familiar with it....

Any idea when Wyoming Fish and Game will update the demand index with 2012 numbers?? I'm assuming it will be before the draw but just checking...

A friend and I have max points for elk and last year finally started putting in for the hunt. Didn't draw Unit 31 which was no surprise given the low percentage. Trying again this year and really want to hunt Wyoming this year. I've looked at Unit 22, 24, 30 to 32, 45, 100, 111, 118...just...

Any idea how long it takes Wyoming Fish & Game to send refunds back from elk draw?

Saw this story in my home state of Minnesota. Hunters found this one in northern Minnesota. We have had a few hunts up there but only a few tags are given out. This one slipped past them all over the years...

A friend and I have max points in Wyoming and I'm researching different options. Of course, I've been reading Eastman's latest MSR and scouring the Wyoming draw odds, etc. My friend doesn't want to bow hunt this time around so we are either looking for a backcountry outfitted hunt or just a unit...

Any idea when the results will post for it? I know coincides with the NM draw which has just happened...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-14-09 AT 05:15PM (MST)[p]Just returned to Minnesota from my Wasatch archery hunt. I had a great experience but was more disappointed in myself than anything to do with the hunt. I spent a week out in Utah working from our office out there and after getting many suggestions...

I have a Wasatch archery tag and arrived on Tuesday in Roy. I went out with a local friend who is helping me out and we covered alot of country Wednesday mostly just driving around to get a feel for some of the unit. I'm working thru Sunday and then start hunting Monday. I'm definitely at a...

Just checked credit card and I got a hit for $795! I didn't think there was any hope this year but now the work begins. Anyone willing to share any info on possible areas to check out I'd surely appreciate it as I won't have the time/money to do a scouting trip from Minnesota. Wow, this is...

The suspense is killing me on this year's Utah LE Elk draw. Not very likely that I'll get draw yet but still clinging to that random chance...

I went online to submit for elk draw and it's asking me to buy a $65 yearly license. Anyone else get this when submitting??

LAST EDITED ON Dec-29-07 AT 08:17PM (MST)[p]I'm just struggling trying to figure out which is the best way to go with the draw. My hunting partner and I have two points for elk and I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions. We thought about the general draw as it would allow us more options...

I know they are out of business but just checking to see if anyone has an Austin/Halleck and what they use for bullet?? I have tried PB's and then attempted to use Barnes Spitfires but couldn't get them to push down barrel (Too Tight). Any info would be appreciated.

I just returned from my 2nd archery hunt for elk in Colorado and on the 11th day of hunting managed to arrow a small bull. Shot him at 8am and the shot was farther back than I wanted (Bad shot) so we ended up tracking him for 8 hours and found him at 4:30pm that same day. I was really...

Question for anyone knowledgeable about Wyoming elk draws. Next year, I'll have two elk points going into the draw as I'm hunting CO this fall and am just accumulating points in WY. With two points, do you think a person could draw one of the areas such as 7, 24, or 100?? Or are we better off...

Drew a tag for Unit 48 archery. I'm just getting in shape as I know there is alot of high country here. Just curious whether anyone has ever hunted this unit and any comments they might have. Is it September yet??

A friend of mine was looking into hunting with an outfitter and I wanted to ask if anyone has either used them or knew of them? They are listed as an outfitter on this site. Any information would be greatly appreciated...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-07-06 AT 07:23PM (MST)[p]I'm heading to NW Montana in mid Nov for a mule deer hunt north of whitefish. A guy I met bowhunting in Colorado last fall pointed out some drainages/mountains to check out so I've been scouring my topo software and marking waypoints. Just curious if...
