    Is 5 PP's going to be enough in the WY General Elk

    If my understanding of the rule changes is correct, we can't really rely on last year's draw odds as an indicator for 2024. The impact of the special price increase is unknown and we also don't know how the general three unit change will impact odds. I suppose it is possible that odds in one...

    Hawaii bound

    we're moving to Oahu from Wisconsin in June. shoot me a message too and we'll figure it out together! i've spent a fair amount of time reading on the HI DFW website and it looks like the regs are pretty straightforward. Not a ton of options in Oahu, compared to the neighbor islands, but there...

    puffy pants

    I got mine gently used from a first lite facebook buy/sell/trade group and I think I only paid $130. Worth keeping an eye on if there is no rush.

    Physical or Mental?

    My first elk hunt this year and I hate to say I gave up mentally with a handful of days left. One of my buddies had to leave early and I just couldn’t muster up the motivation to hunt all day anymore and go in as far as I knew I needed to. I totally regret it now, but it was a good lesson learned.

    Wyoming Unit 38 type 9

    As other have said, lots of people around in September in the bighorns and 300” is very doable in that specific area.

    Hunting Clothing Choice

    I’d echo the recommendations for merino. I like the first lite merino pants for everything. They’re great alone and you can always add a merino base layer if it’s cold. I think they’re called obsidians. I also have a light and heavy weight first lite merino hoody. A down vest and a soft shell...

    Mule Deer hunting while Elk Hunting

    I did my first archery elk hunt this year. Covered a lot of ground and could’ve shot one decent buck and likely would’ve had a chance at a couple more without much of an interruption in my elk hunting. I have changed my opinion and will now carry both tags if possible.

    Crispi Boot Sizing

    I bought a pair of the uninsulated Wyomings the other week and decided to go with a 12.5 because I tend to be somewhere between a 12 and 13 depending on the brand. They fit well but they sure feel different than the old Danner Pronghorns I'm used to. Just heavier and chunkier, especially in...

    Strange Find while hunting Elk on Public Land

    Could turn this into a “stuff you found in the Bighorns” thread. Came across this one in a place that didn’t seem very accessible by vehicle.

    Tough Season? Or just me?

    This was my first year elk hunting, in a general area in Wyoming from 9/15-9/25. We saw a lot of elk sign, some fresh but most looked like we were a week or two late to the party. Difficult to tell since much was buried in snow for a few days, though. We did get into some vocal elk in the...

    One day snow storm

    I was going to give the biologist in my hunting area in Wyoming a call this week and ask the same question. Looks like a foot of snow could fall in the next 24 hours but it’ll slowly warm back up and probably be long gone before general archery opens on 9/15. Some of the roads will be a mess, so...
