    Planning for next year - drawing tags

    I'm normally looking at least 2 years out to identify the unit I want to hunt.

    Any Back Pain Remedies?

    Wow, lots of different remedies, much appreciated! Someone had asked about my shape, etc. Soon to be 55 years old, not overweight - 5'10" and 176 lbs. For the past 2 months I've been going to the gym, walking, hiking. The pain shows up every now and then. I'll look into those stretching...

    Any Back Pain Remedies?

    I have a hunt in CO next month and anticipate a LOT of walking, climbing, etc. I've been doing a lot of walking and hill climbing here in PA, knowing that it will be a lot more difficult there. Anyway, while hiking this morning with a pack on, I noticed some back pain and it going down my butt...

    First Mule Deer Hunt

    Something else you can consider would be going to Nebraska, up along the Niobrara River in north central part of the state. A pretty good amount of deer up there, and public land. Worth looking into, an much closer to you. Oh, they have a "draw" for tags, but usually have left over tags so...

    Traveling with elk hopefully this fall need opinions on travel options

    One thing to keep in mind - maximum weight your truck can take on that 1500. 3 of us went to WY last year from PA in my Ram 1500, and we were right on the border with maximum allowable weight between us, the meat, and gear. We had no other option, so that's the way we went.

    Best state for my first elk hunt?

    You leave that pretty wide open! I'm from PA and have been out west numerous times for elk. It all depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking for a guided hunt, or DIY? If DIY, CO has a lot of public land and no grizzlies, whereas WY has grizzlies. In CO rifle, it will look similar...

    First Elk Hunt Help

    Good advice from el Unit - carry a cow call. Never hunted that late, have only hunted them in the ML and 1st rifle seasons. It varies year to year, some years they were bugling in October, other years they were silent - even had that in the ML season in CO 2 years ago in September. If you're...

    Colorado or Wyoming?

    I've hunted CO numerous times DIY - muzzleloader and rifle, haven't done archery - YET. As for CO, I like not having to deal with grizzlies, and you don't need a guide to go into the public land. Archery is a great time (ML coincides with it for a week) as you don't have near the competition...

    Whoa unto me ....point creep ;(

    I'm in the point chase game in Wyoming for moose, and at this point will be staying in it and keeping my fingers crossed. I have 13 points now as a NR, and watch the moose population dropping along with the number of tags. When I first started applying, something like 7 points were needed and...

    Whoa unto me ....point creep ;(

    I point chased a unit for mule deer in CO for 4 years, finally I stopped applying to the unit. It seemed that I would have the number of points required for the previous year, I'd apply, and end up being one point behind, it went up 4 years straight. I finally decided I was going to do a ML...

    The Reason's I Love "Fresh Tracks"

    Thanks - I'll have to look for Western Hunter. With the satellite, I think we get 3 channels of outdoor shows, so it's tough to weed through all of them!

    The Reason's I Love "Fresh Tracks"

    Congratulations on that tag Matt! I'll be you had to coax your Dad to go along with you - looking forward to that episode! I will be in CO this year with the muzzleloader after collecting Mule Deer points for 13 years. While my older daughter is starting a new job this week, one of the thing...

    Help Needed for Old Eyes!
