Right. Im sure you tag out every year too. You must not have ever drawn a real elk tag in a primo area of a primo state. Sorry for your luck.
Was this a joke post? (I'm bad at sensing that.) We own land in 83, and don't even hunt there ourselves - it's almost completely private and half the unit burned out in a massive fire 5 years ago. It's rare to have much luck there unless you pay Trinchera their high trespass fee.
Look at what their YouTube videos did to the OTC Az tags… just about destroyed that opportunity for res and non res alike
Just an example of how he wont post his favorite unit to hunt, yet thinks its ok if everyone else does.
I haven't noticed that effect much with GOHUNT, I think just having data on draw results, herd numbers, etc. has been a positive thing. However I have noticed a big trend since OnX made all those filters a few years back. When they came out with the filter where you can set how far away from a road/trail an area is, I found more hunters farther back in those areas. This was in both Colorado and Idaho. That being said, from 2014-2018 I can remember hiking at least 3-4 miles in to find elk. 2019 to current it seems I get into more elk within 2 miles from the road. All this e-scouting technology and resources hasn't changed the old rule-get a mile away from the road/trail and you will find elk. All the OnX has done is add more hunters deep and seemed to push animals within a day hike distance. Which is fine because I would much rather sleep in my heated jumping jack camper with a big meal each night rather than my bivy sack 6 miles deep. As tasty as Peak refuel meals are they plug me up like a bear in the fall. Just my 2 cents.
Welcome to the 'slide!
It is $150 and they give you $50-100 (depending upon the promo) in the gear shop for stuff you're going to buy anyway, which is even more of a deal.
