    Arizona Deadline Tonight

    This is a public service announcement brought to courtesy of: Desk Pop, Gr8banana, Geetar, & other paranoid Hunt Talkers who bitch at tiny me but refuse to rag on Huntin Fool, goHunt, Rollin Bones, OnX, Arizona Game & Fish Dept and many other major sources that text and emailed out Arizona hunt...

    Utah Paunsagunt Deer

    I am very seriously considering burning my 27 NR points on the Pauns archery tag this year. I'm 64 and my health is declining, heart failure plus 2 torn achilles, etc. All my Midwest hunting is via climbing Lone Wolf tree stands. Have some experience using this method successfully in the AZ...

    TreePods

    Anybody tried one of these for treestand gun hunting? 95% of my whitetail hunting is archery, but want to start taking our IL gun season more seriously. Drew a great public tag this year. I use the small 14.7# LW Assault climbers exclusively, but their shooting rail gets very poor reviews...

    Credit Plunge

    Anyone else had their credit FICO score fall this much just from hunting application up front fees? Went all in on New Mexico this year and got this surprise package on my Capital One CC 😂. I don’t take these FICO alerts from CC’s much seriously because I know my actual credit score can’t...

    Utah Done

    Application finally submitted tonight. Procrastinator with very little motivation to research hunt changes with odds this dismal. Got 26 NR deer points but burning WY points instead due to quota turmoil there.

    WY Party Appl. Question

    I know I saw a thread on this but can’t find it now. I submitted my application as a party leader a few weeks ago but when I returned to check the application this morning I still don’t see my two partners listed when I click on NR Elk Appl button. They said they joined the party. Curious if...

    Climber with Gun Rest

    I've been almost exclusively an archery hunter for the last 20 years, hunting mostly public land in Illinois/Iowa during that time. However, next year I want to include firearm season in Illinois, if not tagged out. I exclusively use Lone Wolf climbers, preferring the light weight 14.7#...

    Departing to Unit 61 Elk

    Ended up picking up an ebike on sale last minute for this hunt and was seeking tips on maybe some narrower trails where it may be an access advantage. Also, seeking advice on what portions of the unit might be best to mix in some tree stand hunting. I see much of it is low oak brush. Got quite a...

    90 Points in 3 Years

    Just curious if anyone else has burned this many points in such a short time period. With my CO elk tag drawn last week that was 25, plus 21 OR elk, 22 OR deer & 22 OR lope = 90 Lol. Getting old, body breaking down and glad to be rid of these.

    Dream Critters

    So after finally taking a giant whitetail this year, I got to thinking I’ve been fortunate to meet my lifetime trophy goals for critters of three species……elk, moose & now whitetail. With the remaining being pronghorn (85”), mule deer (200”) & bighorn sheep (any!). I am 61. I’m curious if...

    Illinois Dream Buck

    After losing virtually my entire deer season to a severe case of Covid last year, I can’t describe how great it was just to be in a tree this fall. I spent the peak rut 2020 quarantined on a cot in my Kodiak 10'x10' tent. Getting out just once to go to the ER for oxygen. It was so awesome just...

    Good Times in NM

    Got excited when I first got this email. Until I read further. Ya No. The good times coming back in NM would be pre-outfitter welfare, a 22% NR unguided quota, paper applications, NR eligible to hunt state land, no hunting publications and no tsunami of applicants. Lol 😂

    Wyoming Elk Draw

    Well counting down the minutes to WY elk results. Just want to wish good luck in the draw to all Hunt Talkers. Always good to see some get a tag.

    Next Draw System to Implode

    Since the point scheme thread was pretty popular, I was curious what state system HuntTalkers thought would be the next to see major changes. Those seeing serious declines in ground floor applicants and their money are the greatest at risk no doubt. These days I am always strategizing where to...

    Last Day to Edit Oregon Application

    In case anyone is applying in Oregon, of which I expect there are very few here, today is the last day to edit your hunt choices. After much deliberation, I have decided about mine. Now will just sit and wait until the 20th to see if I get lucky twice and can exit their NR system permanently...

    1st or 2nd Season

    Wanted to get opinions on picking between a first season pronghorn hunt or a rut hunt. I have a pile of pronghorn points in Oregon I will try to burn this year. These were accumulated as a residual of getting in their game decades ago for a Big 3 elk tag. I was finally able to draw that hunt...

    Nevada Application Format

    Want to give Navada DOW a big kudos for the new big game application format this year. Just completed my app, and with 5 choices across the board I really love the feature they have of giving you the option of populating the hunt choices with your prior year selections. I'm busy with new job...
