Just over a year ago I harvested a California Bighorn in Nevada. Last weekend my wife and I flew to Reno, visited the grandkids and drove home to Missouri with a new addition to the house. Tom Cruz, TC Wildlife Designs in Sparks, NV did the work and Erich Carter did the replicas. Very happy how...
I much prefer glassing with a tripod and when I went on my Dall hunt I had 10x42 Swaro ELs and they worked fine but at distance I was wishing I had more power. I spent a lot of time with my guide glassing for bear after killing my ram. Last year when I had a Cali ram tag in NV I treated myself...
I used TAGs BOMB on my Cali Ram last year. Deboned meat all fit in two of the large bags and I put the cape in a third. I carried 4 and did not use one. I was solo.
So you really only need two but if you have multiple people with you I would consider taking at least one per person so everyone...
I went last year to the seminar in Vegas and enjoyed it very much as part of the prep for what was a once in a lifetime California Ram hunt for me. They were very helpful and even though they focused on deserts I was happy to see so many people getting to hunt sheep for their first time. There...
Walmart sells a cheap pair that is about half the weight of crocs. They don’t have the back strap but some 550 cord works great if you are using them for stream crossings.

I hope you draw soon. Was that 33 for this past draw or 33 for next year. Eventually you have to get lucky being a point or two from max

When I did my hunt in AK in 2020 I knew I wanted my own tent. I get better sleep when only dealing with my own way of sleeping. The outfitter said they had good tents and i was happy with the tent they provide see and it saved me a lot of money.

IMO danner boots are junk, and that comes after years of wearing them in uniform and in some rough mountainous terrain both hunting and as a Marine. You can find some of the best mountain boots on sale for not much more that you would pay for Danner and get a lot better ankle and foot platform...
If you are a serious elk hunter then get the muzzleloader, have all weapons - bow, muzzy and rifle, and apply for the tags you want to hunt.

Not likely that late in Oct but I have heard bulls bugle in January. I wouldn’t plan on them being consistent enough to locate or being responsive to calling. If the tag was mine I would plan on glassing, glassing and glassing some more.

The bora bivy was really nice to have for me. Used it for the cold night I spent on the mountain and also while hunting bear for mid day naps to keep the bugs off. They were horrible down low

Wasn’t cheap but happy I did both and doing the same thing with my Cali Ram. The replica is on the shoulder mount. The euro mount sits on a dowel and easily lifts off the base I made to get fondled a lot.
