    WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?

    Holding out for a 6X6 is definitely not the number one reason tags go un punched. I’d say the three top reasons are a lack of experience with elk hunting, a lack of knowledge of the area they are hunting, and not being in good enough shape.

    WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?

    Yep. I’ve been drawing general licenses since we could get it as our second pic and still gain a preference point. When it first started taking a half point or point to draw it wasn’t a problem because we had accumulated points while hunting. As soon as you were forced to make the general...

    WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?

    I don’t think a guy’s standards should change based on the price of the tag. But they might when licenses become harder to get and he has no idea when he might get to come back. I’m tempted to pay the two grand mainly because I know my spot so well, so I’m confident it will be money well spent...

    Wyo 2024 Elk Regions and Quotas

    How do they have any idea who hunts where? Game check stations don’t really have those numbers. The only thing on paper that I can think of would be outfitted hunts when they file their use reports.

    Wyo 2024 Elk Regions and Quotas

    The question is whether or not the more is where we need it or if it is just another gift to private land outfitters in other regions. They most likely will have much better odds of booking more hunters. No longer have to compete with the large number of applicants who hunt the other side of...

    Quartering to Shot With 7 Mag

    A 7 mm mag is plenty of gun. You know the shot isn’t that great which is why you asked. Since you’ve never killed an elk I’m here to tell you they’re 100 times tougher than a deer. Meet in the freezer is better than no meat in the freezer, but no elk is better than a wounded one. I’m not saying...

    Montana Outfitter Combination License Question

    Lots of outfitters have openings later in the game. After you get the draw results if you need to find another outfitter, go do the same thing you did when you found that one.

    Who is dropping their standards?

    Bingo!!! And after a non res hunter waits 10 years for a tag I can tell you he’s not shooting a small deer. Who shoots small deer? Residents who can punch the tag and just buy another one next year. Is that true for all residents? No. Is the above true for all non residents? No. I don’t think...

    Mule deer Wyoming Options?

    The negative replies here sure get old. He didn’t ask for a favorite spot. He asked for a little advice on a unit that takes around 11 points. That can’t be anyone’s favorite spots since they can only hunt it every 10 to 15 years! People can reply via PM too so no classified information leaks...

    Flatlanders wanna try elk in '24, needing some experienced advice!

    All excellent advice! If you really REALLY want to prepare for a hunt go the extra mile and make a summer trip to your area. Yes, it’ll cost a few bucks and take some of your time, but it could be the best investment you make. Setting foot in and laying eyes on your area in person prior to a...

    Should draw east side of Bighorns.....need a packer. Any leads?

    Yep you’re looking for an outfitter. In my opinion, it’s going to be tough to find a packer or drop camp in that area. Your options are a guided hunt, rent horses, or do it yourself. And remember no wilderness hunting without a guide.

    Is 5 PP's going to be enough in the WY General Elk

    There is a way to do that actually. But the first step is to stop selling points. That is highly unlikely. Point systems are money makers. I wish just for one year 100,000 guys would mail me $40! Lol

    Is 5 PP's going to be enough in the WY General Elk

    Meaningless. Lots of those guys will not even apply in any given year. Think about it… a guy with 18 points hasn’t applied for a license that would use those points for 18 years! My guess is he won’t apply this year either. Not for anything you are trying to draw that’s for sure.

    Flatlanders wanna try elk in '24, needing some experienced advice!

    With no preference points you should start looking for hunts with landowner vouchers. I wouldn’t spend 10k to hunt in an otc area.

    Is 5 PP's going to be enough in the WY General Elk

    All we can do is guess with the complete change in the system. It sure will be interesting to see what happened after the dust settles.

    Shot Distance for Idaho Panhandle

    And while you are compiling all of that data in an organized manner don’t forget… your mental game AND your animal instincts are just as important as you’re gun if not more.

    Shot Distance for Idaho Panhandle

    That is very specific to the area you hunt. The areas of the panhandle that I know, just west of Noxon Montana are super thick. You would be lucky to get a shot over 100 yards. I wouldn’t consider the panhandle in area to need anything long range so you have a wide range of choices. If you can...

    Looking for Colorado elk advice.

    Keep the gun you have. If the scope isn’t up to the job get a new one. Then go practice out too 600 yards.
