Third hunt also turned out well. I took my 11-year-old and we had a good experience in Utah. We worked our way into some bugling bulls, pulled in a big one, then about 40+ elk came running into us.
2022 for me. R7 4x4 during archery. It was a fun time and the meat was good but it was not a big buck. I was antelope hunting. Tonight I bought my daughter a r4 whitetail doe tag and me an R3 whitetail doe tag. We are shooting nice old mule deer bucks or going to have the option to take doe WT...
Morning with some lopes, there a ton of antelope running around the ranch , this doe and young’ens was 100yds from my truck this morning, 50 yds off the house
No, I already have a grip load of tags this year but wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity on a Co antelope tag. I think 3 bull tags, 1 cow tag, 1 antelope buck tag, 1deer buck, 1 deer doe tag in 4 different states is probably enough…
Well I see you have the NE moose states listed. How many years there? NH was my last good random draw, after which I bowed out. But it was an amazing adventure! Not only did I beat the 1% draw odds, but also 15% odds of taking a 50”+ bull. Seems I wore out all my luck that one year. Still...
Archery Elk: R1,2,3,4,5 Saw some really nice mature bulls/cows, public land.
Rifle Elk: R3,4,5 Did not see a mature bull, public lands.
Had antelope 700 Buck/doe but did not find time to go.
Archery Deer: Same as elk but concentrated efforts on hunting elk.
Rifle Deer: R2,3,4,5 Saw more mature...
Explain your reasoning on selfishness? Trying to control others, to me, is selfish.
I'm not trying to put any trophy hunter or elite bowhunter down. I'm saying is let the trophy elite bowhunters hunt with a bow and let the rifle hunters hunt with a rifle. Everyone gets their way. Where's the...
All the ones I've shot have been in the vicinity of ag operations, so yeah I assume so. If I could only eat antelope, I'd be happy, but I've had incredibly poor luck in the draws. One buck and one doe in 6 or 7 years of applying. But we had anteloaf last night and it was phenomenal.
I'm on the same journey. With my in-line all I need is a bull elk (have killed a cow). Just started with my traditional BP and technically have killed a whitetail buck so far, even if I thought it was a doe when I killed it 😅.
The Dude Does NOT Abide, apparently... LOL
You only die and live once you know. Use the antelope points at least...if already on top of points pile for it.
If a person has killed a lot of them or looking for a particular buck it seems possible. May be a situation of multiple tags?
I used to hunt with a good friend from AZ who only filled his doe tag, or tags about half the time. If he shot a nice buck first thing, he rarely filled a doe tag.
I'm...
@Forkyfinder i can’t remember the years exactly but it was between 2010-2012 we had back to back bad winters. The better bucks were already gone by then but we had deer still before that point, from my perspective. That is around the time that Newburg came in as well, this had a big impact...
