What’s the statistics around Gbears - groups of 3 ppl and it’s extremely unlikely to have any issues vs going solo. So u could easily save $14k by paying for a friend or two to tag along (their food, gear, etc). Have a great hunt with friends/help packing out and less chance of bear issues and...
worth checking 1st rifle 0pp options as those will typically have highest harvest rates.
But between 2nd or 3rd you should check stats as some units can be more productive in 3rd vs 2nd. If you have guides in mind talk to them as they will be your best source of information

I don’t remember which podcast (MeatEater?) had these hunters on. And they specifically called it out that markers were there and one of the guys had experience in locating markers. So that’s how they were able to be 100% sure if the corner.
If you look at all the articles and well publicized...
This is great news for all the states in that district. Bid win for public land hunters.
But it doesn’t mean we can just go around hopping imaginary corners. One needs to find actual boundary marker which is not easy.
Here’s where companies/organizations like OnX, BHA, RMEF etc have an...
Right hard to guess. My thinking was something like this:
-1st choice. Let’s say it’s a 2pp tag (A-bull tag)
-2/3/4 choices are also A-bull tags
If I drew 3rd choice but someone turned in my 1st choice I would still prefer to have it replace whatever was given to me As my 2/3/4th choice even...
Maybe someone can answer this as I’m still unsure. But let’s say I didn’t draw my 1st choice, but got my 2nd or 3rd choice tag. Then 1st choice tag gets turned in and goes to me as I’m next inline automatically, but does that mean it automatically cancels out whatever was issued to me as...
100% agree that Points got devalued in more than half for all the top tier units. My guess in half for mid tier units and for 0-3pp units it probably won’t make much difference
100% agree that predictably for mid tier or high tier units just went out the window. Lack of predictability is what i...
The only counter to this “not needing new hunters” is as anti-hunting groups try to ban things its in our best interest to have many hunters that can come together and fight anti’s. Look at CO Mtn lion hunting ban that was proposed and failed.
And while id love to draw every tag I want every...
Hey OP am I missing something but I can’t find ELK prices to match what you have listed on this bull. Am I looking at wrong lines?
Most expensive elk I see is $1,660
Edit: see it now. Thnx everyone
Yup that would make it that much worse. I never applied as a group so honestly never even checked. But this would 100% create extra point builders only paid by significant others/friends etc for personal gain.
As I said earlier I’d 100% do this under at least 4people to make sure I never hunt...
Right. I was going on basis that either whole party keeps tags or everyone has to return them (does AZ allow point protection and return of some in group and not all?).
But you’re right if they allowed let’s say 1 of 2 in prty to return a tag and get PP back it’s create such a shit storm...
While I sympathize with people who really want to group up and average, as a whole it’s a terrible system and will drive more point creep.
I’m gonna throw hypothetical out there: I’m CO resident. I would buy points for my wife, kid, n few friends who don’t hunt but won’t care if they had an...
