...tag you’d actually save yourself some money as well. The required tag, hunting license and habitat stamp would cost you $353 as compared to $551 for an Any Sex Tag. As an added benefit the antlerless tag would not burn the preference points you’ve already built up. In this way you could save...
I live in Iowa but I wasn't born and raised here. I hate this loop hole in the Iowa law. To many people take advantage of it.
Deer hunting in Iowa is great. For a guy like Randy that does stuff his way on public ground it doesn't sound very interesting to me. If he wants the opportunity...
I am new to this GMU and need some guidance. I scouted the Black Sage Pass and north of Whitepine. Black Sage looked like the Elk had been there in the winter. I saw some scat in one of the camp site but that was it. I also checked out north of Whitepine and on the left side it was hot...
...regulation to prevent animal mortality due to starvation."
Similar restriction are already in place in game management units 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551 in Gunnison County, instituted several years ago to protect Gunnison sage-grouse and big game animals.

Hey Schmalts, while I admit I havent been in the Gunny this year, I camped in 55, 551, 66, & 67 last summer and I was amazed at the lack of Deer in the Gunny basin. That winter a few years back really did some damage to the herd. In years past before the big winterkill we would see deer all...

...to need to attract a different crowd then the ones who have lots of money and the license fee isnt an issue. Most hunters I know wont spend the $551 for an IA tag either. Not a fair comparison. Cost is a huge factor and I understand that it would appear to put a strain on the budgets but...
...2 things that stuck out to me were:
1."Archery elk licenses are totally limited in units 54, 55 and 551"...I don't know exactly what that means...but I think it means there will be a cap on OTC archery tags for these units. I know there some folks on this thread that archery hunt these...
...have been sold out."
Beginning this year, archery hunters can no longer purchase over-the-counter licenses for Game Management Units 54, 55 and 551. All Gunnison archery licenses are allocated by the limited drawing only for the 2010 season. Therefore, bow hunters must participate in the...
Thanks again guys.....yup I plan on heading to the AZ desert come January.....no need to save points now. :) I truly enjoy the desert that time of year.
I've received a few PM's asking about his left main-beam (if it was broken). It wasn't....just grew straight out so the camera angle...
Thanks guys......I'm just one of those lucky type of guys when it comes to being in the right place at the right time. Here's some more photos of the trip:

Well, I never expected to be back this early......I'll actually have a few days to relax before Fred and I depart to Colorado for our backpacking trip. As you know, I didn't know I drew the Strip tag until late in the summer. Since I had already drawn a good Colorado tag that opened a week...
I generally pass a few each season trying to get something better. Sometimes it pays off....sometimes it doesn't.
Here's one I passed opening morning in Arizona at 40 yards a few seasons back.......never had another opportunity for a decent buck. Just part of the game.
