I've been trying to figure out what states to hunt/invest in and I have compiled a short list. I live on the east cost and I basically selected the four closest states to research.
I figured that this information may be helpful to others and I've already received so much assistance here that I...
That sounds like my kind of evening..
Perfect example of why I want to start small with the black tail hunt instead of going straight back country elk while I invest in some bonus/preference points. I'm trying to break myself in; I want to be experienced enough with the other aspects of the...
Thank you, great advice! I figure setting aside $100-300 a year for preference points in 2-6 states isn't going to be a huge deal.
If my schedule cooperates next year, I would rather do rifle over bow for my first trip. I'd be stoked either way though.
Anybody have any advice on some sleeping...
Thank you for this information.. If I go out that way I may spend a few nights camping just for the experience and to prepare myself for elk. I didn't think of predator hunting.

I believe that Nebraska has a week long OTC rifle season in November. Some states seem to sell tags for the entire season. For...
I just feel like a 24+ hour drive is a lot to do for a solo hunt. Regardless, I'm going to invest in the points. My mind my chance about that in a year or two.
I think I'm going to go with WY and CO--maybe throw UT as well.. $150ish a year seems more than manageable. Let me know what you guys...
I was thinking of investing in some elk points in WY. The only thing that sucks in my situation is that the guys that I hunt with are either crazy about tree stand hunting for whitetail or wouldn't be up for the 24+ hour drive. I don't know if I can convince them to invest in the preference...
Hello, long time lurker here..
I mostly hang out on AT because it seems like Rokslide has more guys that hunt out west and I haven't been fortunate enough to make it out there yet. I figured this question may better be suited for Rokslide.
I want to make my first trip out west for mulies...
