Going DIY for the New Guy

No doubt about that. I certainly didn’t plan on drawing Utah with two points; who does? The goal always has been to use short-term strategies (OTC, low-point hunts) to hone the skills. We just happened to get lucky and skip some steps. I’d give anything to have had a dozen close encounters going...

Tripod Advice ?

DIY for Non Resident Nevada

I got lucky and drew a good Utah unit last year (we’ll just say it’s close to NV) with two points. Much of that country is so remote, and the pressure so regulated, that bulls tended to be really responsive to whatever we gave them. We were just a group of Texas guys, with no elk hunting...
