    2024 Elk Meat Transport Strategy

    Mine is a 5 cubic foot I bought at Lowe’s for under $200 and is going in 8+ years. It’s a bait freezer for fish when not going back and forth out west. It will hold 2 processed bulls and also is great to cool down quarters when too warm to hang. I have a cheaper champion 1800 watt genny that...

    2024 Elk Meat Transport Strategy

    I always drive because it is most often the most cost effective, gives me flexibility and allows me to take all the gear I need to be adaptable to the hunt. Seems simple for me based on my personal experience with trips west over the last 30 years from as far east as PA. I always drive, sleep in...

    “Together We Carry On” Film

    Awesome video and inspirational story. The term “carry on” in the Corps means to resume work or duties. I am not sure if Sitka is using it to describe the physical carrying of Johnathan up and down the mountains or to describe Johnathan’s amazing will to keep living life to the fullest. Maybe...

    F/S - Lathrop and Sons Mountain Hunter Elite, size 10.5. $200 shipped to the lower 48. Does not include insoles or the synergy footbed. These boots have a lot of life left in them. The pics show a little wear in the material at the top and inside of the boot. I am selling because they are...

    Nevada draw system

    I hear ya on the draw odds, but with the quality, limited tag numbers and long seasons it’s hard to pass up as a serious western hunter. Sure is nice when you do get lucky. I am sitting on 16 points for elk, deer, desert sheep, antelope and now 0 for Cali Bighorn where I previously had 11. It...

    Wyoming Random Draw Is No More?

    Similar as others. I gave it up two years ago when these changes went into effect and walked away with 15 moose points. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    NM Landowner Cow Tags

    Not saying people don’t get scammed but It’s pretty easy to validate they have the tags as NMGF publishes all the info on who has landowner tags by species and in each unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Idaho Disabled Veteran Non Resident Questions

    Some good info above and am happy to say I have utilized the Idaho DAV benefits as a NR for licenses and tags. As the demand for tags exploded, a few years ago Idaho limited the number of DAV tags for deer and elk. Now it is basically the first in line until that limit is met and for the past...

    Arrows

    I think there is a balance in the middle for elk and most shot opportunities and I avoid the extremes when it comes to light and fast vs slow and heavy. I like that 270-280 fps range as it gives me a comfortable and forgiving balance between arrow trajectory and good broadhead flight for the...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I think that is a great idea and believe you can have a great time with one tag holder. Then next year do it all over again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Bighorn Sheep Tag Process

    This is how I would approach it. Make a list of every state that has an opportunity for you to get a tag and add up the number of tags that would be available to you either as a resident or NR. This information is available in the states websites. Then determine the cost to apply - app fee...

    Is he too young?

    Put him in. Those are opportunities you will never get back even if you do draw and he doesn’t get a sheep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aging a Broomed Ram in the Rain

    No expert here, just a guy who keeps dreaming of hunting sheep. I would be surprised if he is much over 155 because his length seems pretty short. He does come high off his forehead but doesn’t have the drop anywhere near his jaw line. Since he is broomed he will pick up some in the...

    WY general tag vs. NM

    Congrats on the tags and your luck. I would be interested in hearing what tags you have drawn, not to get in on them but just to see how your draw strategy compares to mine. Growing up in NM I now tend to apply for the better units and units I know pretty well. I typically have had an elk tag in...
