Concerning rut trends, is the rut changing?
Maybe sometimes, but I've seen plenty of hard rut action from early Sept all the way through 1st Rifle. If my memory serves me the fall equinox ~. Sept 22 is supposed to be the peak, but they don't all go into heat at the same time either. General thinking is that a bull will gather a harem and... -
Are the New Mexico hunt codes messed up?
That's what I did too. If thats the case I feel like there will be some folks getting private land tags by accident Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Concerning rut trends, is the rut changing?
For you guys that see groups of cows without bulls later in Sept. Do you think there are just not enough bulls to go around, avoid certian areas all together, or you think they are solo just laying low/quiet some place nearby and waiting for a cow to come into estrus? I have observed this in a... -
Hunting Migration?
Bump. I'll ask a more general question, if folks don't want to give up specific features. In your experience, have you typically observed migrating mulies or rutting bucks following natural geographic corridors or just bee-lining it to wherever they want to go? Sent from my SM-G975U using... -

That's the plan. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Hunting Migration?
If I find elk holed up in a spot I can pack one out I might go buy an otc tag, but not my intended focus as of now. I figured 2nd season ( Oct. 28-Nov. 5) would be too early for many mature bucks to be rutting. 3rd season maybe a few would be starting up... Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Hunting Migration?
Sorry, I should have clarified. I'll only be deer hunting. It's just during that 2nd or 3rd deer/elk combined season. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
Hunting Migration?
Thanks! True, I know there are a tons of variables. Just trying to proritze my strategy depending on what the weather might do. I do plan to be very mobile, I don't like putting all my eggs in one basket. I will also add I'll be solo this year and I'm fairly familiar with the units I'm looking... -
Hunting Migration?
I have always hunted Sept and early October for elk and mule deer. Due to scheduling this year I'm thinking about just doing a 2nd or 3rd combo season deer tag in Nov (prob southern half of CO). I realize this time of year is very weather/snow dependent, but also other animals migrate on there... -
Drawing NM 2nd or 3rd choice
It's not like CO or WY where they go through everyone's 1st choice first. Then move to 2nd choices. NM just depends on if all the tags are already gone for your choices (moving from 1, 2, 3) when your name gets randomly drawn. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
No general for Area 7
I thought unit 7 in WY was all draw for elk already. It's like 12pts for a NR to draw Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
How many preference points should you bank up for Colorado Archery Elk Primary Draw?
Many of the once OTC units/seasons will probably be 100% draw odds/second choice for a while, you just have to remember to apply. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk -
NM vs CO (draw) Archery Elk
Ive hunted NM, CO, and WY. I would look at average harvest success over a few years. If your going in blind, units/hunts that average <8-12% have a higher chance of being a crap shoot. Go to a +35-40% are probably pretty solid, but no guarantees to many variables. NM has some tough hunt... -

What’s Your Max Bow Range for Elk?
I feel like this thread may be misleading to a new elk hunter. Sure perfect conditions I would consider a 60 yard shot. (Depending on my amount of practice and confidence level that year). But always prefer as close as I can get. My longest was about 50. I also lost my first bull at 20 with an... -

7mm Rem Mag in 150gr ballistic tip. Enough for 400yd elk?
I used to shoot the older winchester ballistic silver tip in 30- 06 for deer for a short time. Every one would exploded on impact. Just fragments would exit. I probably wouldn't shoot them at elk. I'm sure they would and have put elk down if put in the right spot but partitions or bonded would... -

The effect of limited licenses on units that were once OTC
Agreed. At least they made most bull only and limited cow tags. But you would still think you should limit rifle tags also if you want to increase population ana cap hunting pressure Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
