LAST EDITED ON Aug-13-17 AT 07:38PM (MST)[p]This unit is a great unit to hunt when there is less than 1000 people hunting it. When it gets to 1300 or 1400,it's too crowded for me. This year there is over 1800. It's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

it says that it's for totally enclosed breach. I have an open breach. Should I try it anyways?

My 12 year old boy's first elk.

Traditions evelotion with 80gr loose pyrodex powder and a regular 209 primer. I didn't know they made a mag primer. Its fine when it's warm, but when it's cold, I can see flames coming out the barrel. I'll defiantly be trying the mag primers.

I've been practing when temps were 40+ degrees. Had a good 4" group at 100 yards, but when I went on my late hunt I missed. Then took it to the range, I couldn't even hit a piece of 4'x4' cardboard at 100 yards. Anyone else have problems with their muzzleloader when temps get below freezing?

We've been putting in for diamond creek ever since my boys passed hunters safety. Haven't drawn yet. So did you see anything? Did you get anything? It was a tough hunt and has been the last few years, but my boy was able to get one. Just a small 5

It might be a little late, but Ivan was my neighbor and I haven't been taking his loss very well. He was the nicest guy I've ever met and the best taxidermist too. He gave me major discounts on my elk and 2 lions. I was planning on many more from him. Guess I'm back to boiling the skulls. Lost...

If no one has hunted the area you'll be going, the elk will just stand there and watch you. My advice, glass. The more you glass, the less you hike. It doesn't seem very big, but it is! As far as the snow, bring chains for all four tires. Then you just have to worry about the road washing away...

http://www.monstermuleys.info/photos/user_photos_2016/74912image.jpeg I need more time! I love those little hills! Awesome leg workout! I can't wait to go again!

I've been scouting a little and was wondering if anyone can post some big deer pics that has came from region G? Just so I could have some idea on what to look for.

September- first time hunting in Wyoming for deer. Been scouting already, LOVE the little hills in region G!!! October- just for my boys, Idaho deer and elk. November- drew a controlled hunt in Idaho for the second time in my life. Muzzleloader deer. December- late cow elk.

Deer: first day or last week for sure. They could be almost anywhere at anytime. Find different vantage points, both high and low, and keep watching everywhere. They have always came out when I least expect them. Moose: I see them here and there, but not like the last week in October. I agree...

One that I can actually "hunt". Where I can go into an area and see everything that lives there and how they live together; and not just spend a few hours or days, but weeks and months.

The elk seem to move from place to place depending on the hunting pressure, so to tell you a certain location would be useless. Try not to call to much, it doesn't take the elk long to know it's hunting season. I've learned to hunt without calling. Every bull I've harvested has had a broadhead...

Lately it seems when I buy something, I usually find something better later and I get stuck with what I have. I don't want to make that same mistake again. I haven't purchased anything yet. I think I'll be getting the swarvo atx 25-60x85 with the tls apo. What camera do you recommend? I like...

I had to read it a couple of times and I'll probably read it a few more. It was very informative for a beginner and i am very grateful for you being "long winded". I love taking pictures, even when they don't turn out.

I'm looking into getting a swarvo spotting scope and I can't decide what objective module to get. I plan on taking pics with a DSLR and I would like to know if the pictures turn out different from each size of module. Looks like they have from 65 to 95. Any advice would be nice. Thanks in advance.

I don't think guns should have safeties. When you put a bullet in the chamber, you intend to shoot. Whether you shoot or not, the bullet is to be removed from the chamber. Duh!!! ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what...

I don't think there is any elk in 55. I've never seen any. But I've been wrong before. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the law of gravity do?

Sounds like you need extra pockets. Let's see if I remember: right front pants pocket-wind puffer bottle and knife. right lower pants pocket-elk call, elk lure(if elk hunting), and fire starting stuff. Left front pants pocket-gps/iPhone, Left lower pants pocket-water bottle, Right rear pants...

I try to scout at least one new unit every year. Being tied down with a family and a full time job keeps me hunting the closer units most of the time. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-08-15 AT 05:09PM (MST)[p]I try to get as much meat off the animal that I harvest and use it all for me and my family. We're not big eaters, so I trophy hunt when we still have meat in the freezer. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be...

YES!!! Drew a late season 27 tag. Was a little worried there since it is "unlimited". My boys didn't draw anything their first year putting in. So far I've only drawn 1 tag in Idaho that hasn't been "unlimited". I hope my boys have better luck drawing.

Well, after shooting a pheasant with a Classic Crosman 760 Pumpmaster Air Carbine. I'm thinking of using a 102 Buck Woodsman 420HC Stainless Steel Knife. Still getting my 7mm RUM to group. Got to have it ready for my oldest boy to shoot his first elk. Then it will be my turn. I'll be taking it...

Just got mine out of the mailbox today. Dang it! Should have been a tag. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the law of gravity do?

Wtf?! You drew my tag! You better save me one. Just kidding. Just have fun and keep to the top rocky peaks. I expect to see some pics from you, even if you don't get one. I will be there in November if I don't get snowed out. ________________________________________ A law against nature...

Looks like road hunting gone too far. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the law of gravity do?

No goat for me either. Maybe I can draw the unlimited draw for deer, but I doubt that also. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the law of gravity do?

It's a good unit to bow hunt. Rifle, no way!! I will rifle hunt it again the third year of less than 1100 people hunting it. After it hit 1500 it was bad. 2000+ just pisses me off! ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance...

I've been thinking since you started this thread. I've been putting in for a mountain goat for the last few years off and on and haven't drawn yet. And it's been awhile since I've been in that area. If I draw or not, I think I will have to go back. Just something about that area keeps me wanting...

Nice to meet you. I have hunted that area a few times and I love it. There is plenty of elbow room, but the game seems to be just as spread out. I never seem to be in good enough shape when I go, so unless you have just finished the "Iron Man Triathlon" your not in good enough shape either. I...

Aim for bone! High shoulder shot works the best. I hit an elk in the backbone and another in the neck. They were dead before they hit the ground. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the...

Unit 76 does have lots of land, but don't get disappointed if you don't see any deer. I like to hunt next to the Wyoming border. If you can get lucky enough to have one walk over the border. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For...

I envy you. This stupid job keeps stealing all of my time and energy. My bucket list: take pictures like these year round till I die. Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a...

My boy dropped his first deer with my Ruger M77 .257 Roberts with a Hornady 117 gr.BTSP. I usually use 75 gr. bullets for rabbits. I'm currently working a new load with my Remington 700 7mm Ultra mag Sendero. Was using 168 gr. A-max. Killed 3 elk, a few coyotes, 2 mountain lions and a few deer...

This year is turning out to be just as bad as last year! I had to go back to work. :-) ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote against the law of gravity do?

This was the first year that my 12 year old boy hunted. He carried the gun unloaded. But when it was loaded, I was behind him and was watching him very closely. ________________________________________ A law against nature would be impossible to enforce. For instance, what good would a vote...

Short Versions: 1st elk, archery, 8 steps 1st mountain lion, rifle, about the same I have practiced out to 1000 yards, so I would feel comfortable taking a 700 yard shot. But haven't for anything. Long Versions: I was 17 and it had been a long unsuccessful hunting season, but my father wanted...
