    Wyoming outfitter, landowner, DIY battle!

    Sure am glad I will be moving to WY. Getting much harder for NRs to get tags in every state including the shitty ones like OR. Unless you're willing to live in/move to a state with good hunting, good luck in the near future getting tags.

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    Somebody knows... Yes, there is a lot of BS that gets thrown around on forums, but in my expereince where there is smoke there is fire with rumors of this nature. Guess we will see.

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    Anyone have any real confirmed info on the bonus point mess? Lot's of rumors about bonus points not being applied in the LE draw, but have not seen or heard anything official. I was only at about 10% chance so wasn't really expecting to draw, but would like to know if they truly are going to...

    Official Montana 2022 draw thread!

    Since I'm on this thread.... what's the process for returning a general tag if you didn't select to turn it back if not successfull in the LE draw? Since I have 3 pref points I'll draw the general, but probabaly not the LE tag. I may want to return the general tag later on. The way I read it is...

    Non-resident elk hunters breaking point.

    The breaking point for me is less about what the tag costs and more about what you get for it. I apply everywhere and I also put my son in everywhere, which gets pretty spendy these days. I used to live in OR and still have points, he is still an OR resident. Once I use my OR points I won't give...

    The Ultimate Packmule

    The OP is laughable. His argument is basically "I can use in e-bike where they are not allowed because I am not sitting on it". WTF? The extent some lazy asses will go. Reminds me of all the dudes riding on closed roads with their atvs because there was no sign. BTW I own an ATV, I own an...

    The Ultimate Packmule

    Interesting quote from the OP on a different thread "I have yet to hunt on anything but federal land in Idaho, fairly certain my Idaho taxes are not paying for that.." I guess we'll just assume he was not talking about using this thing in ID. ;) Must have been a different state where he was not...

    The Ultimate Packmule

    Ok, you said it had a battery which of course means it is motorized and not legal on any NF lands other than motorized roads or trails. Not trying to have an argument, just wouldn't want someone who does not know better thinking you could use this sort of thing on federal land other than...

    The Ultimate Packmule

    I'd like to hear where you are using that? Private land? Are you using that on public land? If so and you are not staying to motorized roads or trails(bascilly motorcycle trails) then it's not legal. Yes, there could be some BLM, or state land that allows E-bikes, but even then, off trail("It...

    Washington Elk

    I've been a WA resident for almost 7 years and have not hunted elk one single day in WA if that tells you anything. With that said, I just have no interest in hunting spikes or cows. If you did then the east side might be ok. I do put in every year for an east side tag and will probabaly hunt...

    Wyoming elk with 4 points

    I would not burn 8 on a general tag. My son also has 8 and I won't let him do that. I have hunted WY 6 times over the last 10 or so years. 3 LE hunts and 3 General hunts. The general hunts are good(I killed a 320 bull on my last one), but they really don't compare to the LE hunts in terms of...

    Idaho OTC NonRes Tag Sale

    Yeah, you're right. I'll probably just keep it rather than give IDFG and extra $400. I can probaly find a couple days between MT and WY. A couple days should be all I need to kill a good bull. I just wanted to get my son a good one as well.

    Idaho OTC NonRes Tag Sale

    Another version of how messed up this is for families... I was at 3100 my teenage son was 15,800. When I got logged on I had to go ahead and buy a tag and just hope there would be one for him. I mean what other choice did I have other than just bail out? When he got logged on they were gone. Now...

    2021 Elk Meat Pole

    My son and I definitely need to work on the videography, but I wanted to share how I like to archery hunt for elk. Spot and stalk. Never let them know you're there and they never know what hit them.

    Mountain Bike Elk?

    They are great on closed roads. I don't use mine on trails/single track much for hunting unless it's just to get into an area a little quicker. I would not really want to pack out an elk on single track unless it was mostly pretty flat.

    The Great Idaho Redistribution

    😂😂 ID got rid of a lot of NR hunters by capping tags and increased resident hunters 10x from all the CA dipsticks moving in. Seems like a win LOSS to me ;)

    CO transitioning deer?

    I've been in my area for the last week straight and there seems to be less deer now than a week ago. I'm at 7000-8000'. The fresh tracks I saw after the weather the other day all seemed to be headed downish, but I have no idea where the deer are. I don't see any glassing the lower burned areas...

    Access options unit 40 / Co Deer

    It wasn't our strategy. We hiked our asses off until one morning as we were hiking to the top of a mesa above some deer down low on private and we noticed a couple guys sitting in a truck drinking coffee right where we had taken off from. About the time we reached the top we heard a shot from...
