    Solo Elk Hunting

    Thanks for this information. I never knew! I guess I'll just ask really nicely. ;) Sad this world has come to limiting a man to help another man for a couple extra bucks. Let's hope any passer byers are just really kind souls!

    Solo Elk Hunting

    Great, great feedback! Play the wind, slow down and enjoy the moment in the woods, learn from every sec. and experience in the woods, be flexible and motivated but not to an extent of burning out, take a break if needed to get right back at it the next morning, mountains are steeper than they...

    Solo Elk Hunting

    One good thing on this is my only time to train is after I put the kids to bed. I normally hike 2-3 miles with my pack and 60 lbs of sand nightly in the dark and hopefully to increase weight over time. This has helped significantly with getting comfortable on this front. This did take a...

    Solo Elk Hunting

    New guy from WI

    I'm in Polk County regularly and I ref hockey in River Falls quite a bit. I know the surrounding areas well. Yes, I will be elk hunting somewhere this year. Trying my luck in WY with CO or ID as a back-up plan. Worst case scenario I will be out bow hunting antelope in SD, but that is if...

    Just sent $724.68 to Wyoming for the elk draw.

    Good luck! I just did the same, but low chance of me to draw with only 1 pt in the general. Can't hurt to try in the random!
