I agree with fin little, I had 20 points going in this year and sat out on unit 1 waiting on the late dates for next year.

I was hunting 67 and once the snow came it was a different hunt. We saw some good bucks over in 66 on the border between the two units but no giants, and no 180's. In 67 once we set up and started glassing we turned up a lot of deer and each day we were seeing new bucks showing up. I was at the...

I went after 67, 3rd season with 18 points as a NR and did not draw. Point creep was pretty serious on 67.

Is this the message you get if you possibly drew? One or more of the products selected has already been purchased, or conflicts with a product that has already been purchased.

You might try contacting a couple of the local game wardens in that area and see who they suggest. They will know who does a good job in the area and also who stays on the right side of the law.

Hard to say, but I have a pair of Swaro 15x56 and I have a pair of 10x42 Geovids. If I was buying new today I would by the Geovids for sure. It is so nice to be able to range find without switching optics and they gather light and have much better optics than your normal monocular rangefinder...

Just got a note saying I drew 21-A bull elk, first rifle. Non-resident, unguided, second choice.

Hunted a unit that borders 67 last year and we had a good hunt. Lots of antelope and lots of nice bucks. The herd appeared in very good shape in this area. There was very good feed going into this winter in 67 from what I saw driving thru it. Unless this winter is really bad I think it would be...

Thanks for the replies. Why do you say tough with a rifle? I antelope hunted part of it last year and saw a few small bucks, but was not looking for deer really and never got in the areas that looked like they would hold most of the deer.

How long is the rifle season for this unit and what are the dates normally? Thanks

I have not hunted 64, but wanted to pass on that I was in Jeffrey City last fall while hunting 68 and there appeared to be nothing open anymore. I was only there once and not from here, so I could be wrong, but I would check on Jeffrey City before you count on it. Muddy Gap may be an option for...

Chadderbox, was that bottom buck up near Beaver Rim in the NW part of the unit? I saw a buck up there that looked just like this one. Very big in the body and wide like the one in the pic.

TOPGUN, Thank you. That is what I was looking for. I read the App. section but did not understand it. I appreciate you explaining it.

How do you tell what units you can buy more than 2 doe/fawn tags in? Sorry if this has been covered, but I searched and could not find the answer I was looking for. Thanks to anybody that can help.

PM Sent. You will have fun.

EE, PM sent.

Marley, I went to NWT on almost the same dates as you. I think I was there the 6th thru the 10th, 2007. When we packed for the first trip (10 days) in I had the pair of underwear I was wearing and one extra. One set of smart wool light weight, top and a bottom. I had the Sitka, I think it was...

Thanks to both of you. I will check these out. I will be there this week for two days, but I will be there quite a bit this fall and into the winter. I really liked the one SWH that I have been in. Thanks again.

I am working in the Louisville area and wondered what good stores a guy should check out while I am in the area? I am looking for hunting, archery, backpack equipment type stores. Something to pass the time in the evenings. Thanks

You have a PM.

Me and three buddies drew unit 57-1 buck tags, no doe tags. Add to this a NM rifle antelope tag and a NM first rifle elk tag (21-A) and the fact that I am still in for Montana antelope and Iowa archery deer and I am glad I have 6 weeks vacation. I was really hoping to get unlucky in those last...

I did a backpack hunt with Gana River Outfitters last year and it was great. The thing about backpack vs. horse is you can stay on top and do not have to climb everyday. The guys that horse hunted there last year said if they did it again they would do backpack, because they climbed everyday. We...

SmokePole, thanks for the comments. I love the color of the dogs in your pics. Are they yours? The coyote in my pic is a female and she had been giveing me fits for a few days digging up dirt hole sets. I put in this flat set about 15 yards away with a fresh turd from the brindle one there and...

I am in SE Kansas in what is called the tall grass praire. I bought the two dogs in the pic from Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. I have been to Iowa to get dogs as well. Seems you seldom see dogs as white as the ones you guys run out west. That is why I ask where you got your dogs from. Color...

I use decoy dogs as well and also use Mtn. curs. I have one yellow and one brindle. I have a half catahola and half Mtn. Cur in training. I use mine on the trapline as well and they get pretty rough on those trapped coyotes. I skin my coyotes and believe me they can punch holes in them and...

It should be this year you see the drop, becasue you have to not apply for two years, I think, to lose your points. If that is the case we will be able to tell after the point apps this year. I did not apply last year, as I only have four points and now this year I have to decide if I am...

Cousefever, I sent you a PM about Stone Sheep Outfitters and who your looking at, so as not to highjack this thread. dwalton, you could go on another Dall hunt now and be very picky now that you have your slam, just think how much fun it would be picking thru them looking for a giant. It was...

That is a great looking ram, really nice 'bou as well. Who were you hunting with and where? What rifle were you shooting? I really like the tucked in bighorn look of him. I went and got my Dall last year as well and nice 'bou also, Gana River. We had a little closer ordeal with a grizzly after I...

Lots of elk and antelope. Some of the biggest antelope in the world!!! I have seen 360 type elk while hunting antelope in that area. Most of Pelona lies in the 16E wilderness area, I think, and therefore is foot/horse traffic only. There are a few roads. I do know we were required to pack the...

There is the Cimarron Nat'l grasslands that makes the SW county in the state almosty half public. With walk-in it is probably 2/3 public. Very open country. Look for CRP and you will find deer. A decoy can work wonders there. If you have CRP and feed you can find whitetails many miles from any...

I have heard the same thing about Dale. I also talked to a guide that has guided several stone sheep hunts and when I ask him about what area he would go into if he could pick he said it would be Dale's without a doubt, said it is a great area wiht lots of nice sheep. I have no idea if the story...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-20-07 AT 05:41PM (MST)[p]Thanks for all the congats and kind words, a trip of a lifetime for me and glad I got to do it. dwalton, I will give my sheep horns a lucky rub for you and pray for your good fortune. I bet you will have a great trip. Nunya, thanks for all the help...

The first pic is of sheep camp in the purples range of the Mackenzie Mountains looking across the Mountain river over into Stan Stevens country. The second pick is of my sheep and my guide, Peter Oxtoby (on the right). The third pic is another of the ram and me. The next is of my caribou. He...

Well guys I just rolled in and had a great trip. What an awsome place that is. My ram is a nice 36"- 11.5 year old, which I was very happy with for a first ram. I saw several rams brought into camp, one was 40"- 12.5 year old and one was 38.5" and 13 years old. We had a great week on caribou...

Well this time tomorrow I will be in Edmonton on my way to NWT to chase white sheep at Gana River. Anybody else making the trip north tomorrow or Sunday? I will try and post a report when I return on the 18th or 19th. I have a caribou and wolf tag as well, doing the backpack hunt. Good Luck to...

AZ402, you might get in contact with JFWRC he usually knows were some tags are and they seemed to be reasonably priced when I have looked at them in the past. I had a couple of buddies hunt a ranch last year that got the hunt from him and we saw lots of nice antelope. I have found tags on ebay...

Listen to what Nunya has to say here. He has a great video of Shan's hunt there and if I had the tag you had, I would be calling him and taking him up on his offer. I think it would be alot of fun to hunt with them and successful as well. Good Luck whatever you decide to do, it will be lots of...

I have used the Rocket Hammerhead and the Vortex 125. I would not shoot a deer or elk with either one of them, but they make great turkey heads. I have never had a lack of penetration with either one and they put a real hurt on a turkey. I have shot them with regular fixed blade heads and have...

Nunya, I did not have any problem putting in for sheep. I have not tried for elk and antelope. Sounds like the sheep odds may be good if everyone is having the same trouble you are !!! Hell just think about all the money it will save you and I will let you go with me to NM. LOL
