When we go in a wilderness, we ride one horse and pack a horse. We have a bag we tie on the back of the saddle on the horse we ride. On the pack horse, we have either a saddle pannier or packsaddle with panniers. All our gear goes in these. We are generally in for a 4-6 day hunt and dont take...
I have a canon zr50 mini DV, new models are probably out since I have had this a couple of years. The night feature is not as good as a Sony, but I dont use it anyway. The optical zoom is 22x and is great. I have a 2x doubler which gives me 44x optical. It goes to 440x digital without the...
Thanks,
Not sure what we will do this year. Would love to see the country, Idaho, Montana. But that is a long way from home, pulling horses. Makes for a long trip. Probably at least 2 days drive just to get there. Might be worth it though, if we could bag a 330 or so. I am sure they are there...
Thanks guys, at least that is a start. Talked to the Game and Fish and they said the tags wont be sold out in Tex Creek until this summer. That might give me a chance to see if I draw NM first. I am going to call their biologist a call. It looks like 66 has some National Forest(Caibou)in it, but...
Hi guys, need some help. I am from Tulsa and normally go to Colorado for elk, but we are tired of shooting junkheads. I have been successful in New Mexico, but the draw is tough. Anyway, if we dont draw out in NM, we are thinking about coming to Idaho hunt. It would probably be a gun hunt, as we...
Well, we do have a drawing for elk in Oklahoma. Wichita mountains near Fort Sill. This was my 30th year of applying and still no draw. I have been putting in since I was 18 years old in 1972, but Bill Jordan can draw in one year. Go figure!! So, no draw in NM. Colorado here I come, again.
I've taken my son for 2 years in Colorado, cant beat the out of state tag price, and I have watched him harvest 2 bull elk. Priceless. Take your son. He will learn more about life in an elk camp than he could ever at school.
Research paper? How about an essay on his elk hunt, then you have...
Elkhunter, love the pics. I too hunt with horses, mainly for packing out of canyons. It is a whole lot easier to ride down towing a horse and ride out with the elk on the other horses back. I have this one horse, Roany, that is dead calm, put a hundred kids on him, crawl under him, over him...
WH, What is your defination of hunting? Is calling a coyote in to 10 yards and shooting it with a shotgun hunting? How about sneaking around the woods and taking a limit of squirrels, or sitting behind a dozen duck decoys on a creek bank waiting in the freezing rain for a shot at a lone mallard...
Well it has been quite a while since I posted, but I check in from time to time, so I would like to put in my opinion of Colorado's tag system. Suits me fine, but what I really like about it is the youth tags. My son (my $'s) can buy an out of state tag for $100, and I dont even have to buy one...
