    Nevada Draw/Results 2025-2026

    Had the exact same attitude when I started out. I keep thinking about quitting NV, but seeing pictures of happy hunters with big NV bulls keeps me in the game

    Nevada Draw/Results 2025-2026

    I’m feeling the same way but only 5 points in. Hard to keep justifying the cost with low odds and the likelihood I may never draw. I keep telling myself “you can’t win if you don’t play”… I guess I’m the degenerate gambler version of an elk hunter ha

    Point creep casualty

    Is this gohunt’s predictive draw odds or historical? I don’t have gohunt but heard they were adding that feature

    Offrange NM Oryx Hunt 2025

    Thanks for sharing and congrats on a beautiful animal! I’ve been interested in and applying for Oryx but had heard it involves a lot of driving and not as much hiking. Inspiring to hear of someone doing it on foot! I’ll have to give it a try if I ever draw. How’s the meat?

    AZ License Expiration

    I think he’s talking about the deer and sheep deadline. I’ve had the same question, but for elk since mine expires 2.4.25. From what I know, I’m good to go

    Protection in bear country

    Last year when I hunted grizz country for the first time I carried spray and a smaller 9mm with hardcast ammo. I’ll be hunting grizz country again this year and plan on doing the same. I like the spray as my primary, but feel better having a lethal means of defense as a backup to the spray. I...

    NM Elk Draw

    Put in for NM for the first time as well. Can’t win if you don’t play. Definitely a long shot…

    Bipartisan bill to reintroduce wolverines in CO legislature.

    Personally I wouldn’t mind loss of winter rec areas for Wolverine reintroduction. Seems like it would help deer and elk during their most vulnerable time as well.

    Tent/sleeping bag help?

    I’ve used a six moon designs lunar solo tent, enlightened equipment 20* quilt and a neo air x lite pad in a wide range of conditions and it’s always kept me warm and dry. Really lightweight and functional set up.

    Help me pick a new Bino harness.

    I’ve been using the marsupial for a few years now and love it. Very simple and svelte design. Super comfortable to wear all day and does a great job at protecting my binos.

    Why do you like your gaiters?

    I’ve used kuiu’s yukon gaiters for the last several years. They’ve worked great for me. They’re breathable, durable, comfortable and keep my legs and feet dry. Do everything you want a gaiter to do. Once they wear out I plan on buying another pair. Haven’t owned another pair of gaiters so I have...

    Favorite Wild Game Meal

    The last few elk I’ve killed I’ve cut out the flat iron steaks from the shoulder blade (saw it on a YouTube video). They’re my favorite cut. They’re the right amount of tender, bite and very flavorful when you dry age those front quarters. My favorite way to cook them is reverse sear. Smoke for...

    Puffies

    I get a lot of use out of my stone glacier puffy. I got a size large which layers well over my size large base layers and midlayers and under a Sitka dew point also in size large. Nice to wear while glassing, taking a break and eating a snack, around camp in the morning or evening and as others...
