You a resident up there yet? About had enough of this place myself…

Not yet but it’s coming.
Just spent 6 days up there. Every time it’s getting harder and harder to come back.

Early season mule deer rifle hunt here. I look forward to asking the archery guys to leave my favorite basin.

We had that tag in 2023. Saw more damn bulls and close than I care to discuss. Good news is that is our favorite elk unit too!!! Shot a smallish velvet buck just to try the new rifle out. Didn't see any biguns but some good quality younger deer. Hoping and praying we get that tag but most likely will draw 2nd choice.

Second choice rifle buck tag for second season for me.

I'm about 15 lbs overweight for the high country at the moment. I'm planning on just not eating for the next month so I don't die on the scouting trip in July.

lol, I'm 45 lbs overweight. Need some motivation so come on elk tag. I was about 20 lbs overweight for that hunt. Thankfully lots of sitting and glassing. That said 12500 feet even sitting is no joke. That packout straight up 500 feet sucked though. Thankfully it was only a couple of miles and the last mile was downhill. You can do it. It's a ways off.

Point creep got me maybe next year. I kind of thought it might

Nice! Eager to see how these hunts draw out. I'm wanting to draw that tag but not sure it's in the cards prior to '28. Sitting at 5pp after this draw.

I believe these are not new hunt codes. Early rifle has been around for a while, are you referring to the 1st rifle deer tags?

 

[supersonic_g&t]

Does any of this 'Awarded' or 'Not Awarded' business change for 2nd choice tags? Anybody in here draw a 2nd choice? Mine is showing Not Awarded for the deer tag but I applied PP choice 1 and tag choice 2. My other point only apps (bear and pronghorn) show 'Not Awarded' which is wierd, but i get it.

No CC hit but I'm just trying to read tea leaves, very surprised based on the odds i was seeing and tag #s leftover in past years. Hoping second choice successful draws just take a little extra time? Haha

I could be wrong, but I believe if you put in for preference points, then no other choices are considered.

*edit: Intunegp is right. I was wrong .

That's not correct. You can get a point and a tag if you apply for first choice point, second choice tag.

Picked up a second season deer tag over here

you guys think we’ll see elk results today or have to wait till tomorrow?

I’m referring to the high country rifle tags. Most of them have seen major point creep in recent years (more so than other types of hunts) and I figure they’ll blow up even more. It sounds like a blast!

I suspect most likely tomorrow or the next day. The drawings are from 27-30. Still antelope & elk left to draw. Is the draws causing you to not focus at work making you lose sleep at night

You are correct, they have been hard to draw for the better part of a decade even some of the less desirable tougher hunts, I’d imagine they will be more difficult with only 1/2 of the high point holders getting removed every year…
