Thanks guys, I greatly appreciate the insight

I'm usually not one to ask too many questions nor put up any posts on here but this time is a little different...Due to the COVID issues this year my daughter's trip that she had planned got cancelled and at the last minute she asked if we could go on another elk hunt instead. So, on Tuesday, I...

Thanks guys for the posts and information. No matter what the outcome, I'll be in the woods hunting and spending time away from work!

Wanted to take my brother in law on his first elk hunt. Drew Unit 9 as third choice. I have not hunted it since '08 when I was there with my daughter. She took a small bull not too far from Ranger Tank. Any updates on the unit, elk numbers, etc? Thanks

OK, I'll respond to the unscientific survey. Put in for a unit that last year took 17 non resident points to draw as my first choice and 8 points as my second choice. I had 7 points going into the draw. Won the lottery and got the dream hunt of a lifetime that I never thought I would be...

Thanks all for the input. Problem has basically been solved and I'll spend a little more time hunting than the original 2 weeks. I won the lottery this year. Also drew an Arizona tag that odds said I should not have. But the change to the Arizona draw has resulted in some unexpected results...

Congrats to all that have drawn their coveted elk archery tags for this year! I too was one of the lucky ones and have a Wyoming Type 9 tag for September! Looking at the calendar and taking into consideration the moon phases and that the rut typically occurs 5-10 days around the fall equinox...

one of the previous posts for the swaro el tripod adaptor got my interest - but for the leica duo's. Has anyone tried the outdoorsman stud on their duo's?

What binocular harness are you using for your 10+15's. Today I tried the large S4 and it seemed to be too small. Also tried the horn hunter. they fit in the pouch fine but the strap did not feel as secure and felt like it would bounce because the strap around the case was elastic. Thanks...

Posted this in the NM and General Hunting section so thought I would put it here also... This past year I was lucky enough to bring my 16 year old daughter on a hunt in New Mexico. We had a wonderful time with great friends and family. To top it off she got a beautiful bull. She and I decided...

I put this in the New Mexico forum and thought I would share it here also... This past year I was lucky enough to bring my 16 year old daughter on a hunt in New Mexico. We had a wonderful time with great friends and family. To top it off she got a beautiful bull. She and I decided earlier this...

This past year I was lucky enough to bring my 16 year old daughter on a hunt in New Mexico. We had a wonderful time with great friends and family. To top it off she got a beautiful bull. She and I decided earlier this Spring to submit the story to the Huntin Fool. It did not make the magazine...

If you are only carrying one quad the homemade wood one I have is great. Can still get to things underneath if need be.

Like I told my buddies with mine - All I needed was Granny sitting on top of the quad and I would have been the Beverly Hillbillies

never had any problem with anything slipping. Have been all over with it. That trip was to Wyoming from Louisiana. I have 8 foot ramps and I use the bike winch to assist getting it up and down. Still have to walk it up with and control the throttle and winch. definitely not one you want to...

Got one homemade. Couple of 4x4's across the front and back with two 2x12's running the length of the bed. Only issue is getting the thing up there....works great. can reach between the truck bed and under neath to get to things. just can not get anything out of the front middle with it on.

In the market for a new set of binocs and trying to narrow the field down - I'm leaning towards the Leica Duovid 10 15x50's. Not really one to want to carry a spotter so thinking that these would work nicely as both, something for hand held and then on a tripod for the 15's. Let me know what...

Has anyone on the site ever used it and what were your thoughts? Thanks

Thanks for the information. I'm planning on an archery hunt. Did you do anything around Black Mountain on the East side of the river? Thanks, Roger

Well, looks like another year of not getting drawn for the limited draw tags, struck out in NM, Co, and Utah. Not enough points for AZ or WY yet. So, falling back to an over the counter tag for Colorado. Years ago, mid - late 90's I hunted along the Conejos River, backpacking in several years...

Also posted under General Hunting Does anyone have any experience with the Spot emergency locator and DeLorme PN60W GPS that can interface with it? I'm thinking of getting one for my wilderness hunt.

Does anyone have experience with the SPOT emergency locator and associated GPS, DeLorme PN60W? I'm thinking about picking the set up to carry with for this year's wilderness hunt...

Thanks to those that have contacted me to provide some advise and suggestions. A little additonal information since the last post, the trip has now been cut to 3 days of actual hunting so that seriously reduces the time we have to locate any animals. So, therefore, if anyone would care to...

Saw the earlier post on Unit 9 but was wonderining if anyone else had info on the unit that could be useful. North end of the unit, South end...Ranger, Owl Hoot, ..., National Forrest, BLM, Road Closures? Bringing my 14 year old daughter there for the youth encouragement hunt between Christmas...

Picked up the same tag for my daughter this morning. We will be coming in from Louisiana. She gets out of school on Tues, Dec 21 so we will probably leave here the following day trying to arrive a little earlier for some scouting and looking around. We hunted there a couple of falls ago...

PM sent, Thanks

Thanks

Thought I would try to bump this up closer to the top hoping to get some help. Anyone with knowledge about Unit 13. Not your secret drainage or spot but just an area to begin looking. I'm planning a trip out later this summer to do some looking so anything that can be provided is appreciated...

Thanks Oilcan and KTC... Roger

First, Congrats to all who drew and good luch this fall. I was wondering if anyone would like to share any information on Unit 13. My 13 year old daughter and I drew late season elk muzzleloader tags (21 - 25 November). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm planning a trip out...

OK, since everyone is waiting for the draw results to be posted for deer and antelope I thought I would ask a question to give you something else to do...So, I've got an archery tag for Unit 39 elk and would appreciate any assistance or information you may want to share with a non-resident...

Two e-mail messages. Daughter and I drew Unit 13 late season (Thanksgiving!!!!!!) Muzzleloader Elk......Took her to Unit 9 last year and she got a nice 5x5. We will see what this year holds, I like the odds. Also have a archery hunt for Wyoming Unit 39....September and November Elk Hunting...

Todd, First, CONGRATS...I've got to tell you that everyone else we spoke with and talked to during the hunt were great. We had invitations to join folks for breakfast, spend the day with and offered assistance with help getting her elk taken care of. Bottom line, we had a great time and would...

Just got back from Unit 9 with my 12 year old daughter after her muzzleloader hunt. We had a great time with lots of fun, laughs and one bad experience that I'll share later. But for the good part first. Tuesday morning was cold and foggy. Weather was forecasting winter storm warnings for...

Star, My daughter and I just got back to Louisiana last night around 10:00. She got a nice 4x4 on Tuesday morn (I'll post pics and story later). We did most of our hunting off of FR 555 and up around Boulder tank. We were into elk every day and had lots of fun. For her elk, we turned right...

After having a very bad year in the draw, I decided to purchase a couple of NM unit 9 landowner vouchers. An archery tag for myself and a muzzy tag for my daughter. My plan is to arrive around Sept 8th and then hunt through the end of the archery season. Using this time for my archery hunt and...
