throwing good app money after bad and repeat
I began applying out of state in earnest in 2001. That is when I had PTO for the first time in my life. I made a matrix of states and species and defined each one as a Long term, Mid Range or short term target/goal. By 2006 I was taking 2 weeks to hunt two different non res states. In 2009 I...- 2rocky

Suck for these people.
Reminds me of the time I emptied my elk rifle magazine after an out of state hunt and put the cartridges in my overnight toiletries kit for the two day drive home. A couple weeks later I head to the Oakland airport for a weekend Steelhead fishing trip when I get pulled aside at the TSA x-ray...- 2rocky

Wolves in Nevada???
I firmly believe that wolf dog hybrids were the first "Wolves" in many areas that people have seen outside of historic reintroduction areas. Much in the same fashion that Feral horse populations had more abandoned horses in the 2008-2009 recession.- 2rocky

Arbitrary Hunting Goals
My slam was an elk in every one of the 11 Western states. Now i'm wondering if I REALLY want to try to kill an elk in Alaska... One thing if you are goal oriented is to have something else on the horizon to look towards when you do achieve a goal. I do admit I felt lost when I finally killed...- 2rocky

Biggest…when?
Mine was in 2022. Once I got the mount back, I realized the wall I thought would fit 3 bulls (Tule Roosevelt and Rocky) was full with two. It really made me reconsider what I was hunting for. It took a lot of the Ego Hunger away for me. Last Fall I just guided for elk, and next Fall I'm... -

How old is too old to hunt?
When my dad turned 80 he quit "Running the Brush" on the Deer Drives. It still pains him to sit on a stand, so I'm not surprised when he ends up a half mile from where got dropped off, as he takes an easy run along the edge of the brush at the edge of a canyon. He still takes his pointer...- 2rocky

Hunting Trip Ideas / 40th birthday
This is where you talk to a Hunt Booking Consultant. More than likely you are looking for a species that will be one-and-done, but within a budget constraint. Western Species will be landowner tags in UT, NM,CO, Outfitter allocated tags in ID, MT. PLM Elk hunts in CA run about $25K, but you... -

How close to camp?
I've ridden by camps on my way to where I've killed elk. I've also found a backpacker tent in the head of a drainage where I'd killed an elk. He probably could have watched me shoot it. Plenty of stories of deer and elk killed from camp or within view of camp. My rule of thumb is to camp... -
Muley Hunt Outfitter Help
From the camp manager I know I think that is a solid option. I’m basing it on his reputation and the fact that he’s been a repeat manager there for multiple seasons.
