    I never went, a buddy had gone around the breaks and came back with just a dismal report so I bailed on it. Im going to try applying next year with 0 pts to see if I pull a tag just because there really isnt anywhere left to go unless you wait 5-10 years. Pretty much only CO(its a complete zoo)...

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    NM, I found it on GoHunt. There have been a decent number get returned the past few months for the zone I'm looking at, so depending on how many pile into the queue i guess there is so chance to get one.

    MT General Elk - When to hunt?

    Plenty of them hunt a lot, govt agencies are mighty generous on PTO. I know wardens and biologists, the latter have more bandwith in the fall since wardens are always spread thin and cover such a large areas. Always received solid into from either when traveling to a new state, even if they dont...

    Idaho non-resident tag question

    There a way to see how many return tags have come up in previous months? I got invited out to ID, so going to try the hail mary for a return tag for deer.

    Montana turkey hunting

    Turkeys can hang in what we consider 'weird' spots, especially out west if you are coming from the midwest or down south. Like you say, a small clump of trees along a river can hold 3-4 birds...or none. Plenty of people have said it, but if turkeys didnt gobble it would be near impossible to...

    Montana turkey hunting

    The SE portion of the state has good bird numbers in general. I was doing some research on MT turkey, and thier online harvest numbers make zero sense to me . In 2021 they issued 38K tags(that alone is crazy high) 36K of those are for residents. The resident success rate is around 17%. The non...

    Bad tag allocation + EHD + tough winters has been a bad combo.

    South Dakota

    Its grim most everywhere in WY and Western SD. I was going to hunt both SD and WY this year and scrapped them both.

    Western turkey trip woes

    I tried areas that held birds last year, and explored many miles of new country. I know Merriams never stop moving but populations in the area I was in must be WAY down to walk and drive that many miles and have one guy out of 6 kill a bird in 3.5 days. The hunting pressure overall didnt seem...

    Western turkey trip woes

    Got back from a trip out West from WI. Been out there the past several years and had decent action. 6 of us were out there for 3.5 days and we killed one bird. I put around 25 miles on the boots and hundreds on the vehicle- the lack of birds was nuts. In all those miles we ran across one group...

    Turkey Vest vs Day pack?

    I see no point bringing a backpack when you can fit most everything you need for turkey hunting in your pockets or a bino harness. When it comes to the odd time you actually kill one I can suck it up and haul the whopping 20lbs over my shoulder! Or rig a simple turkey tote from rope/paracord and...

    Turkey Vest vs Day pack?

    What is everyone doing for a seat pad that dont run a turkey vest? That is the only reason I have a vest, its nice having the seat attached and able to be quickly flipped up outta the way.

    Turkey hunting South east Wyoming

    In the SE part of the state you will need to find property with water and some trees....anything with river bottoms is going to hold some birds.

    Small gauge turkey

    .410 is hard enough to find, good luck with 28 gauge.

    Entry level turkey hunting

    Turkeys are so unpredictable it can make them seem 'smart'. They truly are the 'Roomba's of the bird world....wander in one direction, run into a deadfall, go the other direction, run into a creek, go another direction, etc, etc. One day they will run into a call, the next day they run away. One...

    Wyoming license proposals, big cuts to Antelope.

    where? You noted how many were sold in 2010, and how many are projected to sell for 2022.

    Wyoming license proposals, big cuts to Antelope.

    Negative- someone noted how many licenses were reduced in 2021 and 2022- but reduced from what starting number? How many licenses were available in 2021? Sounds like around 45k available this year

    WY Antelope For a Newbie?

    Sounds like the lope tag cuts are the right thing. Should make pt creep increase even more! 0/1 pt units are not going to be a thing any longer
