i Have a unit 7 tag as well. That looks to be lower elevation. I don’t have personal experience there but my guess is that might be a better late season hunt area. When are you planning to hunt.

Early or late?

Which season was this? Just curious for future years.

That's awesome. Thanks. You are probably right. We'll be after the non-resident 13?-14? ?trophy.? Just looking forward to getting the boys exposed to it and sharing in the adventure.

My boys drew this tag. Will be their first Antelope Hunt. Both are in HS so getting out of school will be tricky. If they miss one day they have to take finals, otherwise they are exempt with a minimum GPA. May be a short trip but I don't care - we are going. Their time is going by...

I drew the same tag. We should connect. I doubt the cell service is worth a hoot in case one tags out early and can help the other. I'll be DIY as well. My tendency is to backpack hunt off the beaten path. I'm not a good hunter but I work pretty hard to find I pressured animals. Are...

I just finished the class and thought I'd share my experience. I flew into Las Vegas, rented a car and drove about 2 hours to Kingman, AZ. Spent the night on the famous Route 66. Class started at 07:00 so no time to dilly dally. Word of caution, there is a time difference between LAS and...

Everything this year is planned around an early Oct Antelope hunt for my boys in WY. Thru the application season, I applied for a few home runs either early or late for the family and me. One of the tags I drew is a late archery 101-109 mule deer archery tag. With dates of Nov 10-Nov 20...

Sweet. Love that part of the country. Seriously big country and your tag is good in the units to the South as well right? Interested to hear how your hunt goes. Hope you find a big one.

I had no idea they were there. I hunted the muzzeloader hunt but went on a scouting trip in July. Nearly stepped on a small rattler and I was not expecting it all. I covered lots of ground and didn't see any others but they are there. I wouldn't let it consume you. Had a huge tarantula...

101-109 Late Deer for me. Sweet! Will be the first time to Nevada for me. Very excited. Looking forward to the planning phase now.

This was my first year to Reg G so I have nothing to compare against. I chose to hunt archery for deer in an attempt to avoid the crowds. I went to one basin that was so freakin hard to get to and saw no one. Big shale basin was nearly impossible to archery hunt so we bailed and went to a...

Just got back from an archery mule deer hunt in Reg G WY. My buddy and I rented a trailer, 2 saddled horses and a pack horse to stay in back country for an extended period of time. We hunted down the Grey's River area and many of the high country basins are 3-4 miles to the base of the...

I picked up maps in Afton I believe on the east side of 89. Just got back from a mule deer hunt in that area. The Little Greys and Greys river road + lots of back country to ride on. You'll have lots of company the rifle season starting Sept 15.

Have you tried the online application process? I bought my license but the online application doesn't seem to be working.

Great time with the whole experience. Kabeelo Lodge near Dryden, Ontario is a first class operation. The discount for youth make this much more affordable for the life time of memories we created. We had our own remote lake that was about a 10 minute flight from the base lodge. The 3...

I 2nd big Daddy's in Cloudcroft. Good people and good food. Pork chops special...very good bacon for bfast. Taos: Historic Taos Inn. Rooms above, restaurant below. Stuffed chile. 2B hunters: The tex-mex joint in Dulce isn't great, but its the closests place to gas up and who doesn't...

Just curious if I should be concerned that my tag has not shown up yet from NM for Oct Mzzldr hunt. Do you have yours? My first elk tag in NM so curious when they are supposed to arrive.

Thanks for the feedback on what to expect. Would love to have some rain at the right time and crossing my fingers for good weather on the short hunt. My favorite time of year will be here soon.

1st time hunting elk in NM. Hope they are still bugling some Oct 11. My favorite time of year to be in the woods. Appears to be a number of roads and two tracks criss crossing the unit so backpacking may not be required or an option. Just glad to have a tag and ready to start the...

Sent you a text from a deer I saw in a taxidermy's cooler south of SLC. Hope you find it.

Congrats. Nice bull. I'll be in unit 7 to give it shot myself later this month. Would love to have a shot at one like this!

Nice video and awesome bucks. I have the rifle tag in Oct. Just hoping for a quality experience. My dad and two young boys are coming along for their first hunt out west. Figured this would be a good volume hunt with maybe a chance at a decent buck. Looks like some rough country. Did...

I drew the tag this year with 6 (or 7) points. The posts I read indicate that I should expect to see lots of small bucks with an outside chance at a 160-170 buck with hard work and patience. I'm considering bringing my two boys (9yo and 11yo)to experience seeing the quantity of deer. I'll...

Jason - how did your sons hunt go in unit 17? I failed to ask for your handle so hopefully you see this. I'd like to exchange notes to see if you had any luck with your strategy. We got in deep but could not get high enough to where I expect the game was. 10yo ran out of gas so we bailed...

Denied. Submitted a joint application with my boy for the 1st time. Failed to read the fine print that must be 10 at the time of the draw and not the hunt. Missed it by a month and it'll cost me a loyalty point. Self inflicted stupidity. Oh well.

Could be a great year for you. Those elk from AZ (just across the state line), and there a bunches, will have to go somewhere. Unit 23 is a likely area that will have much higher elk densities this year.

Elk Hunter - Yes You Are Baker, Long time no talk Baker. I hope you are building points to get back to CO. Still holding out for the same unit or want to slum on my side of the hwy? Hope to get drawn there next year. Pretty excited about my boy getting tags drawn. He will be 10 and just...

So it appears that I didn't draw in NM...but my oldest boy drew a late season GMU17 deer tag and late season Antelope tag east of 285 (NE portion). While not the best of the best tags, he'll be out there in his first season. That's pretty cool - lucky dog.

deer unit 27 I hunted elk in Sept there 2 years ago and scouted in August. I was on the northern 1/3 of the unit and didn't see many deer at all. Elk were behind every other bush. More sheep than deer. The unit is huge though and I'm sure there are deer somewhere on the unit. The north and...

I don't know about dude ranches in WY. There are dude ranch associations that will provide you with information about different ranches. Whether you are a beginner or advanced rider, I'm not a fan of the head to tail walking that many ranches are forced to abide by due to insurance...

Merry Christmas to me :)

There's a resort in the town about 20 miles south of Alpine. Wild Bill there is licensed outfitter with horses from the ranch and he might be able to help. Couple years ago I found a local asking around in the Alpine general store / gas station. You will have to be in the Blue River to have...

I confess to being a Kifaru junky. I have a paratipi (use for 2-3) and a 6 man along with a longhunter. I also have a matching stove. I've been in a blizzard with 60+ mph winds right at treeline in my paratipi. We had the stove going and we were comfortable in a t-shirt. After being out all...

I have a longhunter and do 5-7 day DIY backpack trips. Had the pack 5 yrs. Three elk later, I'm a big fan of the pack. I don't have any of the other packs you mentioned. I did my homework and intended to buy quality. I am very pleased with my Kifaru gear. Good luck with your decision.

We share a similar tag though I didn't get lucky with the Deer Creek permission slip. Best of luck to you. Check your PMs.

My WY hunt this year is in the Medicine Bow National Forrest and will be DIY. This will be my first archery hunt which adds another degree of difficulty. I did a scouting trip the first of August and found the elk. Now we'll see if I can get all the pieces to come together. This CO hunt...

3 weeks until we depart for our WY elk hunt. The anticipation is killing me so I pulled out some pictures from my fist elk hunt to fuel the fire. Let's see how well this link works. www.2008coelkhunt.shutterfly.com/54 (you may need to copy and paste this link to get it to work). If you click...

Based on the high number of threads and responses, trail cam theft seems to be on the increase. That's unfortunate and not something I condone. That said, I am not a fan of trail cams on public land. You want to know what's on your ranch or your lease, knock yourself out with a camera behind...
