Well, it's hard to believe another season has passed us by. Crazy where the time is going. I had a great year in '19, with plans for 2020 to be even better. Unfortunately I didn't update the '19 thread as I would have like to do. Just never seemed to be enough time for everything.
Wishing you all the best for this year.
Use this thread as your own as well, I like to hear about all your stories, travels, successes, and adventures as well!

Same here. Going with a couple cousins. First time really backpack DIY for all of us. Should be interesting. Do you know which unit you are going to?
2020 is shaping up to be one heck of an experience. I've always dreamt of hunting elk and being a Missouri resident, this obviously isn't possible without hunting out of state. This year I will have the opportunity to elk hunt Idaho on a disabled veteran non-resident tag. I will be going with 2 other disabled vets and am looking forward to the experience. We have yet to pick a unit as we have no first hand knowledge of the area and only one of us have ever been elk hunting before but I'm excited nonetheless.
Best of luck to you and everyone else this year!
I don't think it's been fully approved yet. I'll definitely be throwing my name in the ring for a chance when it does come time.Just be aware that there will be a missouri elk draw for residents only this year. good luck
Was out in Western Colorado last year for the first trip after the big elky. Giving it another go this year.Well, it's hard to believe another season has passed us by. Crazy where the time is going.

Planning my first out of state mule deer hunt in Idaho for the fall and can’t wait! Maybe Elk in 2021. Lol
Had a great 2019 for elk calling in a bull for myself and a buddy.
In 2020 I am looking to burn my AZ elk points for a early archery tag. I was hoping to add on a WY general elk with my points but those odds ratcheted up in 2019 so we shall see.
2019 was great here in Montana, grandson filled his gen. deer with a nice 4x4 and granddaughter a 2x3 on youth days. Wife, grandson and myself went to 621 unit to fill 6 tags, 5 deer and 1 antelope then back to unit 4 to fill 2 WT doe tags. Took the wife to Utah for an antlerless elk hunt, a very short one. Got to campground ,set up motor home and drove out of camp. Gone about 15 minutes and found a herd, got into range and dropped her cow, loaded and went back to camp and packed up. Start to finish less than 3 hours.
2020 I’m taking advantage of DAV license and tags for an Idaho hunt in unit 10A.
I'm excited to follow along again Les, I've followed these threads of yours for the last few years and since I can't hunt quite as much as you it's fun to follow along on your adventures. Best of luck to you in 2020!

Going to Colorado diy hunt in the back country in sept. First time experience and really excited .
It should be a blast wish you the best of luck. I just got back into archery and last year we were 70 yards away then he bolted. But the elk only talked for 2 days we were there. Backpacking in for 5 days. I just wish I started backpacking in when I was in my 20s and not my 40s. Good luck
