Appreciate the responses. I'll be coming from Wisconsin. I heard the winter of 22/23 was bad and that numbers are down but decided to apply anyway. Can't take points with you and I decided I just want to go have a fun time in WY. I've been looking at 52 for quite a while and looked like it...
I drew this tag and am very much looking forward to the hunt. I wanted to see if there was anyone from the area or who has had the tag in the past that would be willing to send me PM regarding general road conditions for the area and how your overall hunt experience was. My wife is also coming...
I picked up some 70A blades to use this fall. The only issue I see so far is that as its a thicker blade than the 60's, it's a little tougher to get on and off. Really need to make sure that you have a pliers with you to change the blades. As LuketheDog stated if your breaking blades, then...
Let me start by saying I am in no way an elk expert. I'm a guy that has hunted elk a handful of times with access to a keyboard to give the world all my opinions. To give myself a little credit I have been successful and after a few years was consistently into elk (insert pat on my own back...
Dougfirtree this is a great question and one I think we will see more and more hunters starting to ask. While I don't hunt WY I do live in WI right in the hotbed of our CWD area and I have had deer test positive. Here are my thoughts for what its worth.
First I would say get informed...
Here is my $.02
Don't get the Badlands. I had the 2200 many moons ago and sold it the year after I bought it. Its really heavy for its size and pocket configuration is not great either. Unless you have a bunch of ultra light gear your never going to fit a spike camp in it. I also had...
There is a lot of beetle kill in that area. I have not been back there in five or six years but I would expect a lot of dead standing timber and a lot of blow down too. Be careful where you set your camp so you don't have a tree blow over on your tent. If I was going back I would stay mobile...
I really appreciate everyone giving their input on applying to AZ for elk. This time of year really gets me thinking about future hunts and places I would like to go someday and thats what prompted my question as I want to hunt all the places for all the things. Let me start by saying that I...
I'm not aware of any states that let you build points before you are of age to actually go hunting or have hunters safety completed. I could be wrong though. While we don't have elk tags yet, my home state of WI just got rid of minimum hunting age so you could always come here and hunt...
I'm looking at getting into Arizona but can't decide if it's really worth cost/wait for a tag. I am in no way thinking that if I get to AZ I will shoot a 400 inch bull but would like the chance to kill at least one or two nice bulls before my time on earth is over. I hate to put a number on...
I'm selling my first lite puffy. Size M in ASAT
I only took the puffy out one or two times so it's in new condition, no rips or stains.

I crapped out and drew neither my special buck with 3pp or my doe tags. I also didn't draw my elk tag in WY. So now its back to the drawing board with leftovers and OTC options.
You can only get it on DVD but https://whitetailadrenaline.com/ does an awesome job. As the name would suggest its mostly whitetail but its well worth it. They have a few short videos on youtube that are more teasers for the videos they sell...
