    Expectation for Archery Elk Hunt - Blue Chip Unit

    Sounds like you guys did good. It was also 20 years ago when archery pressure was probably way less. That said, there’s always going to be a few that get lucky right away or are just hunting studs.

    Expectation for Archery Elk Hunt - Blue Chip Unit

    First hunt in a trophy quality unit is a huge waste for 90% of guys because they don’t know how to hunt and might as well be in a low point unit. I talk to more new hunters than most and the vast majority shoot small critters if they’re lucky.

    I went from the Viper to the Athlon Ares. I consider it a major upgrade.

    Looking for Idaho otc deer tag?

    I think as GregB said that you can no longer designate who your tag goes to but any returned tags to through the new returned tag purchase process. The refs seem to have last year’s process and can be revised by later rule change. The IDFG website thoroughly explains the tag transfer rule and...

    Backcountry Etiquette

    I generally agree with most of you but sometimes there’s only one logical camping spot in a large area. Some here are a bit too territorial I think but I hate coming across people in the field so I understand and plan to escape people as best as I can. That said, other hunters in the field can...

    archery

    I'm not familiar with the Snake River Zone but anywhere elk are on ag there's a decent chance that they are bouncing around to the public nearby, as long as the public isn't pressured real hard. Elk in the desert and lowland areas seem to often be bouncing around the ag to some degree or another.

    44 Idaho Bull

    I’d chat by PM if you want to run things by me. I have a buddy who’s drawn but I haven’t. I never draw anything no matter what I apply for. 😀

    Who's scouting?

    I’m not scouting OTC units in protest of not drawing the controlled tag I wanted. Jk

    WY - unit 60 - walk in with Llamas?

    Im aware it is wild country but that is something else. Any more backstory on why the stock couldn’t get out and whether they died back there over the winter?

    How rare are they in 2020?

    Pull open the Idaho record book and like mentioned above regarding WY there aren’t many legitimate 380” bulls taken. Best be looking in AZ, NM, etc.

    Access in November Unit 26

    It’ll cost you a small fortune and they won’t try to get your vehicle out.

    How rare are they in 2020?

    I really wouldn’t be trying to pass a 370” bull in an OTC unit because you’re chasing unicorns and the point counting endeavor can lack satisfaction. I’d have a ball shooting 300” bulls or one with a lot of character (huge mass, etc.) while saving points and cash to get drawn or buy a landowner...

    How rare are they in 2020?

    Sounds like you’re a Utahan at heart. “I waited 20 years for a tag, scouted 30 days, ran 7 trail cameras, had 10 spotters, and all I could find was a small 360” bull, the state DNR is horrible.”
