Preference points for cow tags?? That’s a new one. Montana must different than Wyoming then. The cow tag draw is separate from the other draw pool. It’s a true random drawing. I searched the site today and couldn’t find anything on preference points for cows. Anyone else have any info on this?
Thank you MsMuley. Looking at that area on onX it definitely fits my lung capacity as far as elevation goes. My assumption is this is more of a late season area due to its lower elevations?? We can come anytime to hunt, just wanted to get a feel for timing it right to have the elk there. I...
Looking for a reasonable chance to see a couple cow elk on public ground for myself and my son. Planning on rifle hunting for 7 to 10 days if necessary. We hunted for cows in Wyoming last year and I did struggle with the elevations of 8500 and above. So with that being said, we would prefer...
Considering making a trip to Montana this fall for cow elk and Muley does with my son. Montana Regis are a bit confusing. Can we apply for elk B tags and deer B tags on their own without having to have a general license first? I have read thru the regs the best I can and it doesn’t say a...
Just got back from unit 12 in Wyoming. Hunted the medicine bow NF. Elk were pretty scattered from the archery season. Needless to say we couldn’t find them. There is a late season from 11/15 to 1/31/20 west of hey 130. My question is does anyone have any experience hunting the late season in...
Thank you for the replies. Bugling definitely makes sense as the bulls will be with the cows. A follow up question to the masses about where to camp. I’m planning on a base camp, (tent), figured we find a good spot along one of the forest service roads, but want to avoid camping to close to...
I know most of the experienced elk hunters on here would most likely suggest hunting cows until later in the season. My dilemma is my schedule won’t permit that unfortunately. My son and I drew non res. cow elk tags for unit 12. We are planning on hunting the last 4 days of September with...
Damn, I was afraid of that. Have a friend of my Dad's that lives in Elk Mountain and he knows the area pretty good, but not sure he has much in the way of private for us. I was mainly looking at the medicine Bow NF ground. I guess at least I know its new info and I can start digging up a new...
Does anyone know when your in the Wyoming DNR website, if this is fresh information on there. The reason I ask is the Unit 10 elk used to have a type 6 elk tag valid in the entire unit when i looked into it a month or so ago and when i looked today it says the only tags are a "General" and a...
