MT District 302 lost Archery Elk found - Medicine Lodge
I was going to add the same context as above. I hunt elk with a bow and a rifle. Love the challenges of both equally. Something about getting close to bugling bulls. Also something about getting in tight to a bull’s hidey hole in post rut situations. With all that said, rifle season comes... -
26 year wait - Utah elk hunt
WOW! Great write up greenhorn. I hadn’t been on this site in a while (and when I have it was sparingly) and just read all 21 pages of that! Obviously, a huge congratulations are in order to not only kill that bull but to hunt the way you did. I’m a huge fan of yours, albeit a new one. Also... -

Hard for me to believe 58 years of elk hunting
Wayne, I’m sure glad you like elk hunting as much as you do. Gives us something to talk about when the fishing is slow! 😂 -Trent -
Wyoming general elk adventure!
I'll enjoy reading along to this. I hope you enjoy my "backyard"! -
Montana rules
oofta. Regardless of the evidence of sex, these are the ones I see broke most often. Some of the two track roads don't have an obvious "road closed" sign when they close on the specified date. It's up to you to check the open and closed dates online. Usually the way this goes for me, is I park... -
Elk size pictures
Most of this thread is very awesome for the fact that I also would’ve guessed these bulls bigger than the posted score. These same pics on facebook, posted by different hunters, and these would be 330+ bulls. I’ve been fortunate enough to see a my fair share of large bulls on the ground and last... -
KHunter NM Pronghorn 2022
I thought for sure I timed this right and didn’t start reading until today….Now I’m hooked too! I’m about as good at waiting for these kinds of stories as I am at sitting waterholes for antelope… -
Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
Another thing I’ve yet to get a concrete answer from is if that point you buy goes on this years application or just means you gain the preference point when you apply and you’re unsuccessful. We’re all just throwing darts at the wall here.- POk3s

Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
The only skewed part of your thinking, I believe. (Hell I don’t even know if I know…what I know anymore) is that they allocate 25% of the tags for those with 0 preference points. Basically a separate draw for those of “us” with 0 preference points to still have a chance. Unless they’re changing...- POk3s

Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
SON OF A B**** !!! This is starting to sound a lot like the outfit I work for. They all must sit at a round table trying to think of all the ways they can make this as hard as possible!!! I guess that makes it pretty easy then. I apply, gamble, and don’t plan. “Hope isn’t a plan” but it...- POk3s

Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
I have to imagine that’s going to change this year…or catch back up to itself. It only makes sense that last year was an anomaly based on the numbers. But if there’s more people with 2 points that will soak up all the combo tags before the 1 point guys then maybe I haven’t a clue what I’m...- POk3s

Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
I understand that. The problem is trying to hunt Montana and build preference points at the same time. If I put in for the draw there’s too many things that can go wrong for me to not get the LQ tag and also have zero preference points again next year hahahaha- POk3s

Montana ridiculousness- Pref point debacle
This is how I understand it too. Honestly I’ll probably be able to figure it out here in a bit when the apps open up. But I wanted to jump the gun as I was pondering it all in my head lol. So I can’t hunt deer without using my points, so I can’t bank preference points for my future elk tag...- POk3s
