    Wife Friendly Utah/NV Hunts

    Unfortunately for some reason I have only 14 pronghorn points. Must have given up a few years? Can’t remember.

    Utah fees increase: keep applying?

    I'm also down to 8 states, only 6 of which are out West. My Utah pts are 14, 17,17 & 21 and if it weren't for the 17 elk I'd be walkin. I should be able to get an opportunity hunt for those eventually. OP, I'd walk at 14 due to the 17 bubble.

    UTAH PRICE INCREASE

    Oh ya I'd say 11 is real borderline not worth it. You got a decision. If it were me I'd say 15 would be my cutoff.

    UTAH PRICE INCREASE

    This price jump just all the more confirms low point holders to put a fork in it. If you’re invested 20+ years you don’t have much choice but stay in. I’ve walked from several states already, but bought in too much in the remaining,

    Wife Friendly Utah/NV Hunts

    So I got a bit of a dilemma. I’m looking for suggestions on hunts for the upcoming UT/NV draws that feature especially nice climates, campgrounds or affordable hotels for the wife to accompany me. Regardless of game quality. She is suffering from some type of depression/anxiery condition and...

    If I see a green box this year I’m quite sure my defibrillator will go off.

    NM Elk Bottom Feeder

    It may actually come to this. I’m glad I made hay when the sun was shining back in the 90’s & 00’s. Bull tags are like hen’s teeth now. Wife is asking for elk venison.

    Where To Start

    Especially at your age, I’d suggest only buying points in WY, CO & AZ and spend them in low tier 3/5 point units. Possibly ID and/or MT but I don’t apply to those so don’t know the values. You could add NM random if you like but be aware those are single digit odds across the board. Anywhere...

    NM applications

    I changed up my deer apps this year due to retirement. After reading several poor reviews of unit 2 late deer, including a friend's friend who hunted that, I decided to change strategy and try for three mid-tier early archery hunts, one of which I've elk hunted, and saw a shooter buck on the...

    NM applications

    Got mine submitted from China today. Didn’t want to chance jet lag exhaustion. I ended up doing archery elk, archery pronghorn, archery deer & oryx. All my choices were the lowest tier, highest draw % hunts listed, which ain’t sayin much. Except for deer. Went with three Standard priced...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    Ya thanks for your opinion, but that ain't gonna happen. I once stalked up on three 5x5 & 6x6 bulls in a 1 point unit that I'd be thrilled to hang a tag on today. I've already got 300+ points playing the crap shoot game in other states, which haven't drawn me a good random tag since 2013. So...

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    That story was finished, on here, 364 days ago, directly into my only thread on that hunt. Post #129 https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/utah-paunsagunt-archery-deer.325471/

    Portable Freezer/Fridge

    Same as mine. Some reviews criticized that, but I actually prefer it. As the primary reason for this is storing frozen fillets or turkey.

    Colorado Opportunity Elk

    Oh I just got a nice surprise. I had thought my foreign national wife was not eligible for SS spousal benefits. But was informed today that was incorrect. After filing for myself in January, I subsequently double checked and found she meets just enough guidelines, so at her age 63.5, we will get...
