At one time fields were full of bison and elk stretched across the whole country( grizzly, wolfs and lions were there too). Besides calfs elk have almost no known predators on the east coast. I don't see a few coyotes easily killing a herd of elk anyways. and i also don't see black beers killing...
No wonder the game population sucks in the nw. Hope doing this will turn it around in the next 5-10 years.
I would say the one thing limiting human influence in the nw is it has to be the toughest elk country I’ve seen.
that's better than nothing. I seen a mountain lion on deer horn mountain this year. first one I've ever seen in day light and not on camera. I have always wondered why they just don't let any license holder shoot a wolf. on the off chance you see one and don't have a tag. i would even donate...
This thread started out about outfitters. if anyone is reads this. I highly suggest you buy onx and rent a truck and just explore the country for 2 weeks for half the cost of 1 week outfitted hunt. unless your on a private ranch your odds with the outfitter isn't much better than diy.
I can see what your saying Buzz. I mean its just a matter of time until Wyoming to shit too. I haven't been but from what I've seen you'd have to try to not get an elk in the wilderness units of wyoming. Oregon has one of the largest elk populations and also some of the most strict seasons and...
They will have to poison the wolf populations down again. I’m surprised the poplulations aren’t worse considering you can have 6 pups for every female.
Ya i keep going back because its part of the challenge. Id hate to shoot an elk on someone's ranch now. If you want to hunt whitetails your could easily see 20 plus a day though.
Looks like you live in Virginia too. I don't personally dog hunt but its basically a religion down here. These days with gps collars and driving around in hoards of 5-12 trucks chasing one deer across a county doesn't seem fair, but that's their right. The number of people hunting versus the...
I’m more disappointed how Steve is handling it. All he knows is there is a petition. One that over a 100k people have supported. To me listening to the podcast and this guys point of view Steve was a bit of a bully. Why doesn’t Steve fly to him? This guy did nothing to attack Steve and meat...
I don’t disagree it’s someone right to hunt with hounds. But making fun of someone’s YouTube channel. Everyone had the right to petition for a change in law. And you have the right to vote for your party to push those laws through.
Did your meateater decoder ring give you those responses? Come...
Check out this video. I’m not a tree hugger but someone big as Steve shouldn’t be bashing some random Farmer. Steve will probably have more wealth than I ever will but he is also turning out to be a bigger deuce bag than me too. Lol
i know for a fact these guys takes bets on who shoots the smallest animal wins the pot etc. they also laugh about walking people into he ground day one so they can put you in a tree stand and they can sit all day.
did y’all even see an elk?
i wanted nate. He is the best guide.
derek was my first year and he is a fun guy but it was his first year and didn't know the area.
second year i dont even recall his name but i knew he was a meat packer the previous.
this year they said they would give me a "walker". and give me nate the...
