ELKNUT
YOUR MY IDOL! Seriously, I'm 73 and don't have many folks I Idolize but you are one of them. I have your App on my phone and I really appreciate your online Elk calling sessions. There aren't many Elk hunters in my area in NC but the few that hunt with me I try to encourage them to...
There is a saying. " Don't walk past Elk to find Elk. I like having a base camp and also a optional Spike camp.
Only time in Montana hunting I held off even pitching a tent and slept in the truck till I know where I wanted to set up my camp. In the first few days I hiked several trails off the...
I'm not from OK but Good luck man. I think it's a good plan to partner up in a place like Montana. My wife feels a lot better when I am not alone on a hunt. Lots of things can go wrong even for a experienced hunter. i expect you will like Montana.
As difficult and expensive and complicated as it is, Montana is my favorite place to hunt elk but I haven't been to NM yet but have been to Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
I agree. Actually no one in my party complained, even the guy that didn't get a tag didn't complain. As I mentioned, he seems to be planning to go with us without a tag. Great for us but also good for him. He has never hunted Elk before so it will be a great learning tool. Also he wouldn't...
I don't want to instantly feel like they are so hard hearted. I see it more so as a programming error but I could certainly be wrong. They don't go in and hand pick who goes where, it's all part of a program and I feel like it probably wasn't intended to work quite the way it does. They may be...
I prefer that to not getting a tag but for someone entering as a family group etc it could kinda ruin the party so to speak if a vital person in that group gets unexpectedly cut.
I thought I would post this for those who had a draw outcome that maybe had you scratching your head as did the outcome of my party.
This is not a complaint its more of a observation and a question. I entered the draw with two other hunters to our party. Myself and one friend entered with 2 PP...
It looks like 2 out of the 3 in our party drew after all.
Here was my final results:
Successful Drawing Results:
2023 GENERAL ELK COMBO (RELEASED)
Unsuccessful Drawing Results:
2023 GENERAL - ELK COMBO (Party #8546)
I thought. early in the day I was unsuccessful but it appears I was successful after all and a 2nd member of my party was as well but out 3rd member who had only one point was not.
This is what my final message said below and our 2nd member of our party who also had 2 points like me got the...
Unfortunately it looks like my party 0f 3 didn't draw. We had. 2,2 and I point for a 1.7 point average.
No successful license/permit drawings finalized so far in 2023.
Unsuccessful Drawing Results:
2023 GENERAL - ELK COMBO (Party #8546)
I'm not in the 10% club but I like most everything about Elk hunting. I'm 73 and never lived in real Elk country but maybe that's part of the draw for me? I love being in the mountains and should have moved their long ago but a little late now and my wife hates the mountains. I've always enjoyed...
I just checked. Still Pending.!
I don't expect my group will draw but I can't half relax till I know one way or other even though I won't be super sad If we don't but not knowing still sucks. If we somehow did draw I have to get my arse in gear on training.
I did post above to Reliant but I see I didn't make it clear that my group of 3 was hoping do draw the Elk combo tag. If you read that post you will see my group of 3 has an average of 1.7 (1.666 rounded off).
You kinda left yourself open with the LOL remark and I couldn't help myself. But I...
