Go for it. I don't think anyone would be any more annoyed than running into another archery hunter. In fact, the blaze orange may help them see and avoid you.
Not this year but I have been thinking about it. I have two rifle tags this year (one for the regular rifle season in October and a late season doe tag). It seems like a fun hunt and a way to get hunting season early.
Good luck!
Precip for 3-4 years and the Torrentshell for the last 3-4. Mainly used in Colorado. I feel I can get away with the lower tier rain jackets because rain in Colorado is usually limited to afternoons and short amounts of time. If I was somewhere more humid or a place that had more rainfall, I...
6 years with a Suunto Core for me. Storm alarm has always been accurate for summer thunderstorms. This weekend on a backpacking trip we kept eyeing clouds thinking it was going to be a raging storm. My watch alarm never went off and the storm never happened.
Altimeter is always accurate...
Checked out a 9:48. Not quite what I wanted but between this and the draw, I have an elk tag, 2 deer and 2 antelope tags. Its going to be a great fall!
I think it depends on your goals. If your ultimate goal is the experience and meat on the ground, get the deer tag. If you want an elk real bad and you want that once in a lifetime bull, don't get a deer tag.
I am a newer hunter and my main goal is getting a decent animal and meat on the...
I don't think a price change for non-residents would help sell out all the tags. The tags that are never purchased, the true leftovers that do not get bought are private-land, whitetail only or tags in units that are basically 100% private. People aren't buying those tags because they are hard...
Leftover tags do not affect your points.
No, if you have an LE tag you are limited to the units on the tag and cannot hunt OTC units. I would look into getting a second tag though. A lot of Antlerless tags are 'B' tags which means you can get one. You can have two 'B' tags or an 'A' and a...
I usually pick up a second elk tag when I hunt mulies, either a leftover cow or an OTC bull tag. My main focus in hunting mule deer but I have the tag just in case I run into an elk. I have separate elk tag that I focus on in a different season.
