I love listening to all the OR hunters blame the elk hunting on predators while I'm out hunting elk with grizzly bears all around, listening to and seeing wolves all over and still it's the best elk hunting you can imagine. 100X what OR is! OR elk have a lot of problems, and predators definitely...
Not that I'm in favor of this bill at all, but I will be headed to WY April 1st to look at land. It's been a long time coming and the only way I really see hunting where I want going forward is to be a resident of one of the states with WY on the top. The NR opportunities for every state will...
At least someone understood the point I was trying to make.
I support anyone shooting any bull or buck they want.
The point was about what the youtube culture has done.
An JFYI I was not talking about any one channel or person. I was talking about the entire season as a whole. All of them. Just look back I could name 5+ of the most watched and the point would be the same.
Definitely not! That would be Cam Haynes!
Just saying it is not that hard to find and kill mature bulls. I think those guys could easily hold out for mature bulls if it were not for the pressure of trying to get a kill on film. Back to my point... killing a 2-3 year old bull is like killing a...
Not going to use specific names/brands but I'm sure you can figure them out. I've been of staunch opinion on here for a while, that the running around the woods non-stop blowing on your bugle and or cow calls all day long is not the model for consistent success on mature elk. If you guys have...
a and b yes! As well as the point about chasing points
But the rest of that NOOOOOO! You have the points to go on a great WY elk hunt. Out of almost every state I can think of WY is the state where you should not even consider a guided/outfitted hunt unless you are someone who just wants to...
You could do much better than a general tag with 9 points. There is plenty of info out there even if you just use the WY game and fish site. I'm not saying the general tag is not good. I killed a 320 bull this year with one, but the overall hunt is not going to compare to what you could draw LE...
Lots of things have an "affect". Weather, hunting pressure, water, moon on and on. The key to becoming someone who kills a bull every year is to learn how to adapt. If you get stuck to one tactic then the factors you can't control will keep you from being successful. Hunt every day you can in...
We could pretty much draw the same units. Really not much between 6 and 13. At least not archery...
If I had 6 I would just go hunting next year. At 13 I'm just chasing at this point. I know what unit I'm going to use them in and have spent a bunch of time in the unit. With this many points I...
At least you don't have 13 like me :( Wish I woulda coulda used them a long time ago.
I'd share them with my son if I could, but CO doesn't average. Just keep giving CO $ until I can finally get out in the next 10 years :)
Not sure if it is illegal, but I know you should never try it. I've never actually heard of someone trying to get any meat off an elk that has already been claimed. That would seem foolish. In our case the elk had already been completely processed and all the meat bagged and hung away,
The FS...
Well... that's the point of what I'm trying to tell you. Would you rather hear them or kill them? Lots of bulls will respond to a noise kinda like a turkey shock gobble. But... that doesn't mean you're going to kill them. I've even seen where elk know you're a human just because you're bugling...
To the OP... you watching how the "road bugling" is working out for the BRO guys this season? I love those guys as an OR native, but that as a tactic is such a low percentage play.
I can remember a few years ago in WY with my dad. We walked out about a 1/2 mile onto an open ridge with an open...
Because I have too much glass right now :) I have some 15X56 Swaro SLCs that I end up using between my big Kowa spotter and my 10X42 ELs. These have just ended up not being used.
