Agreed, I'll never understand how people mysteriously think that these tags will end up in their pockets and they will all of a sudden be able to hunt these ranches possibly. The first thing that will happen is those doors will close totally. It does need revamped no doubt and I'm not a fan of...
Great idea and that's why this place is great even though we fight like children sometimes. I'm guessing without a point donor MT is the best bet for a general tag buying pref points.
I apply each year because it's in my backyard basically but that hunt has really changed a lot the last several years it seems. Pretty tough odds on top of that.
It will kick your azz quickly and ruin your hunt if you're not in shape and throw in some high elevation to kick you even harder. Not to mention high temps during the archery season which can make getting an animal out in time difficult.
Here's a tip, a quick Google search will tell you everything you need to know. It's a primo tag elk are not hard to find in a primo unit. You can throw a rock in about any direction and find elk in there. It's steep, it's rugged, it's full of elk, find a trailhead and walk and you can be assured...
I actually sat down a few years ago and thought this over. Dropped three states altogether at that time and I'm working my way out of two or three more as we speak on many species.
I'm sitting on some WY points that I may burn someday eventually. Of coarse the new changes could mess all those plans up. I think you got some pretty good advise above on 18. It could be a tough hunt but low density units can produce some big elk in NM. Good luck out there and please hang...
Well I'll be honest there is a large difference in a 19 point tag drawn and one that has no point system. Don't expect people to Willy nilly give you hard earned information with no skin in the game here. We see people sign up and do this numerous times every spring/summer. 98% of them only take...
Common from a road based hunt. I had just the opposite experience on a fly in hunt. All of the bulls taken were 40-50 inches and mature animals. Actually saw a giant and couldn't get on him in time. Newfoundland is an outstanding opportunity to chase moose with lots of animals. Some giant black...
No, who wouldn't be happy is landowners. Simply because residents wouldn't pay the outrageous prices they demand for a landowner tag. Honestly this will never happen IMO.
