Hey guys - trying to figure out what the odds are for a nonresident youth for the general elk. It looks like if a youth applies in the special draw the price is the same as the adults and im assuming the draw odds are the same? Are the youth also lumped in with adults in the NR regular elk...

Hey guys - I've been researching the unit since I drew the tag and drove out to the area twice to get a feel for it (coming from the Salt Lake City area). Was just wondering if anyone on here had any tips or advice, or connections to landowners that I could possibly buy a trespass fee from...

Okay guys I have a question. When you try to purchase a elk private license tag it takes you to the page for an Authorization # and a Ranch Code. Is there ANYONE who applied for elk who cannot get to that screen? If so, I would say that means you drew an elk tag and cannot attempt to purchase...

Hey guys got a question for you. Let say I, as a NR, apply for a limited elk license first and a general license as my 2nd choice. I am successful in drawing my 2nd choice general license. So I keep my points and pay the $550/approx for the general license. If I get lucky and draw my LE utah...

Hey guys - I bought a Weatherby Vanguard new back in 2004, so obviously it is the older/cheaper model of Vanguard. It was about $375 at the time. I have it chambered in .30 06. It has been a good rifle but I just upgraded my scope last year and I am looking to upgrade the rifle now. Here is...

Hey guys - As I have been researching out of state hunts I thought it would be helpful to start a thread that outlines the way that different states do their draws. That way I can kind of figure out if I have a chance at a 2nd choice tag in a certain state or not. For instance, in New Mexico...

Hey guys, quick question but I just want to clarify 2 things... 1 - If I apply for a deer or elk tag as a NR, and I DO NOT draw, do I get a refund AND a point? Or do I only get a point if I choose to NOT get a refund of the license amount? (I know they keep a small part of the app fee...

Hey guys, got a question for those of you who have experience hunting in Wyoming and/or Colorado. I live in Utah and I have never hunted outside of this state. Although I did think I was lucky when I drew a NM elk tag this year. That is, until my whole unit pretty much burned up in the 300k...

OK guys we only have about 9 or 10 weeks until archery season starts. I have now been bowhunting for 7 years for deer and elk. I have killed 4 bucks, 3 small ones and one mature, and a few spikes and cows. I feel like I have a pretty good idea when/where/how to hunt elk as far as morning vs...
