37 is an extremely challenging unit to hunt. Elk and deer have been decimated in the last decade, then throw in the wolf introductions.
I'll give this tip.. the areas that hold elk tend to be impossible to pack out.
It's federal land so I would call them
But you are in luck ...since I might be one of the one or two people that live nearby.
Do not attempt coming from spring Creek near Elliot's ridge unless you have a jeep or a mid size...it's very narrow with no space to turn around as you descend into...
What time of year? If it's the area north of Vail there is still snow that won't be melted off until late July IMO. There are snow drifts 8+ ft high on Elliot's Ridge nearby.
Sounds like a game management problem. Can't fault a guy that plays it right, those tags would be sold no matter what.
But personally I wouldn't hunt if I couldn't or wasn't eating the meat.
I think setting it up like a draw where you get notified by mass email if a tag is now available after the turn in deadline would work. It would work like a draw with maybe 2-3 iterations. At least this might keep a majority of tags off the secondary that shouldn't be there. Couple that with...
Couldnt agree more. That's the main complaint of the thread really. There are hunt codes with a couple dozen tags that took multiple points that pop back up in the secondary. It would be nice if the only tags that popped up on secondary were tags that were refused by next in line people that put...
We had this disagreement last year. Percentages are a meaningless metric when all the "good" tags go to youth.
It's logical from the wrong point of view.
No I do not.
In an ideal world without the ATF everyone would have a suppressor.
Anecdotally, most people have brakes. I rarely see a suppressor on the field. Seems to mostly be a phenomenon mostly on internet forum crowds
Norm is not a suppressor
How many new hunters can shoot a commercial lightweight 300 wm unbraked with any accuracy? How much will they practice with that much recoil? Why is a new hunter shooting 600 yards at game?
Is their 300 wm load even carrying the same velocity and energy as a 6.5 prc load with half the recoil at...
Thats a win for R, but still don't understand limiting NR archery while keeping OTC rifle.
I voiced my opinion already, but archery is spread out that time of year while the huntable area for rifle can be cut in half due to weather. Way more crowding in rifle seasons.
Having spots blown up as a direct result is effecting all of us. These guys are also selling their location data where they encounter animals for serious $$$. Legal or illegal?
Your neck of the woods might be different, but CPW has their hands full. I've reported actual illegal guides with no...
