If you were to start over hunting with the knowledge you have now what would you do differently? Where would you work on building points on a budget? What states would you hunt while building points in others? What do you wish you had known on your first few hunts? How have you gone through the...
Hey I have a an elk B tag and am planning on hunting some BMAs in November. I am looking at a few type 2 BMAs and have to call for permission soon. If you're interested reply here or PM me.
I have an elk B tag for region 4 tag and a general elk tag. I am looking for someone with experience hunting Region 4 BMAs who would be willing to share information about them with me. I have a few specific questions about some type 2 BMAs I've seen. I have found a few that interest me but I...
I'm going on my first elk hunt in Montana this fall and am trying to find a good area to hunt. I keep finding checkerboard public and private with National forest trails crossing the private. How do I go about finding if the trail is open across the private? I cant find anything specific on the...
Does anyone know of someone who either rents horses or mules or would pack out an elk if I get lucky enough to shoot one? I will be hunting during rifle season around White Sulphur Springs. I have horse experience but no elk hunting experience. Thanks
Does anyone get additional species tags once they've drawn their elk tag? Does anyone bird hunt while elk hunting? I'm asking particularly about Montana but I am also curious if anyone does this in other states. If you do this what species and why? Also what state? How successful are you at...
I will be going on my first elk hunt this fall. I am in the military and was planning on using some military stuff (rucksack, sleeping bag, etc) and supplementing with stuff I buy. What do you guys think are necessities and some things that you'd like to have but aren't really necessary and what...
I drew a general elk tag for Montana this year. I have a friend who may be interested in going but he would like a tag. the only options left are the B tags. I most likely will be in the southern part of region 4 and there is a B tag that covers almost all of region 4. The Montana deer/elk regs...
I am planning my first elk hunt this year for Montana. I am looking at a few districts around where regions 3, 4, and 5 all meet. Can anyone give any advice on the general units that are in that area? The areas are north of Bozeman and east of Helena around White Sulfur Springs. I am not looking...
I'm looking for a new scope to put on a new to me rifle. I am looking at vortex or Leupold in the 800 to 1000 dollar range. Id rather not spend that much but I know quality isn't cheap. has anyone used either company's scopes in this price range? If so which one and how did you like it? What...
I am planning my first elk hunt this year. I am looking at the Montana draw with Colorado OTC as my backup. That can easily be changed if I can find someone who would like to go with me or someone who wouldn't mind if I tagged along with them. I am not necessarily looking for an expert hunter...
Hello. I have made up my mind to go out west and elk hunt. I grew up deer hunting in Mississippi. I know there will be a steep learning curve but that's why I am her. I want to learn as much as I can. I have recently discovered Randy Newberg's hunting videos and I enjoy them very much. I have...
