Welcome to the forum. Good luck on your hunt.
I drove through there last year and saw a lot of deer.

Thanks guys for the replies .

It has been on my hunt bucket list for awhile now . At 58 i figured better do it now , instead of putting it off another year . Definitely looking forward to getting out there & getting after them !

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new member.

P.S. Best of luck on your hunt and let us know how it goes.

Well guys my 1st elk hunt is in the books . I ended up not killing a bull . Saw plenty of elk , but most were out of my self imposed 400yd limit .
Had a great hunt though . We went 2 for 4 in our party . My one buddy killed a rag horn , his 1st bull . My other buddy shot a very nice bull , that rough scored 322”’.

Saw plenty of wildlife out there & some beautiful country .

I am a flat lander from Michigan , so my
lungs definitely got a good workout from all the walking & climbing out there . It was good though . My body held up well overall .

I got the bug now . I cannot wait to head back out there & do it again !
