    Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt

    Your effort would have been rewarded probably 4 out of 5 hunts. Sorry it was that unlucky 1 of 5 on this hunt. Following this thread reminds me of my AZ Strip tag in the drought year of 2007. I hired one of the best guides for the unit. Hunted our butts off for the entire season. First time...

    American Prairie - 88,000 acres of access

    UPOM has made asses of themselves by opposing a non-profit group's effort to help private landowners maximize their property rights. Seems the highest level elected officials of Montana now seem concerned that they missed the "Hypocrisy train." All aboard. I'm thankful I had to delay my podcast...

    Kaibab Plateau Early Rifle Hunt

    Go get 'em. Hope you find a good one. P.S. - I'd hang close to the guy with the gray Raptor. Rumor is, guys who drive rigs like that and aren't afraid to scratch the hell out of them know what they're doing 😉. Though given the results of my season so far, that would be pure rumor and it would...

    A video screenshot of the elk out in front of Ted while he waits for the one on the far right to turn broadside. We waited for about ten minutes while the herd fed from our right, eventually rewarding the patience demonstrated. Also a thank you to @shrapnel who offered that Ted could shoot a...

    The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

    Been fun to read this thread after getting home from a couple weeks on the road. I wish Dave had got an elk, but only about 1 in 7 hunters get an elk each season. To get one on your first elk hunt would be far outside the norm. To all the crew who gave of their time, money, points, and effort...

    Size?

    As much as you are hell on the elk, your "herd" of pronghorn taken in a state who manages for "a good pronghorn is a dead pronghorn," such as Montana manages for, is equally impressive, if not more so.

    Two Idaho Hunters Killed In Two Days Highlights Dangers Of Unsafe Hunting

    Completely agree with your statement. As you say, NOTHING is worth the results. Too bad for those involved. Both of these, and some other tragedies that will happen this season are surely preventable.
