    Archery ELK Hunt 2017 Advice on where to go??

    Archery ELK Hunt 2017 Advice on where to go??

    Chadv- you are very welcome... I applied for all 4 hunts in KY last Friday, its a long shot, but just as esracerx said, you wont get drawn if you don't apply and for $40, its easily worth the application. I'm greedy like most, looking for good draw odds with opportunity available for a nice...

    Archery ELK Hunt 2017 Advice on where to go??

    I live in WV, so it will be a loooong drive, but Ive made the trip out west several times, so not that big of deal.... I thought about OTC in Colorado, but have no clue where to go. I was in NM this past summer and made a trip to Durango to Pagosa Springs and back to Albuquerque. I liked the...

    Archery ELK Hunt 2017 Advice on where to go??

    So I am in a quandary on where to go this fall and I know deadlines will soon be hitting..... A buddy and I are both active duty and have plans on heading west this fall. I have 10 pts in AZ, but even with a party tag it is doubtful that is enough to get a tag, and honestly, I want to buy a few...

    DIY 2017 Elk hunt

    I too plan on going out west for Archery Elk. I have 10 pts in AZ, but not ready to cash them in yet ( I don't think), but plan on trying my luck in NM with a back up plan of OTC in southern Colorado. I will apply for KY and PA as well, but have little optimism of getting a tag there.

    12 years....

    As a fellow veteran, I know what sacrifices you have made.....to an extent. I never lost anyone close to me, but saw the black side of war. I have no doubt you did everything that you could, but you have to realize, not accept, that God's timing is not our own. I pray that you find peace and...

    My First Western Saga....

    Great Story and way to push yourself and get out of your comfort zone. Like fishing4sanity mentioned, what are you planning next? I'm sure you have the bug to go back!! Great photo of your son with you! I'm always happy to read about great families and the outdoors together. Thanks for sharing.

    AZ Hunting?

    I lived there 2006 to 2008. I would live on the outskirts of Phoenix, maybe Mesa, Peoria, or Scottsdale (if u can afford). If you can live anywhere in the state, I would look at Strawberry or Prescott. Lots of great country there with beautiful scenery and cooler temps compared to Phoenix. If I...

    Montana Draw process

    Not to high jack the thread, but I'm confused too. I don't see in the regs where it shows what/where the limited quota units are. Also, what does it mean when it shows a unit and has a -20 or another number behind the unit number??

    Avg # of points to draw as NR ELK?

    Are you suspecting it is going to be a dry spring/summer in AZ? I'm assuming this is what you are basing antler growth on.

    Avg # of points to draw as NR ELK?

    HA! A guy I worked with while living in AZ got drawn the first time he applied and killed a 320" bull the first time bowhunting. Talk about beginer's luck!

    Avg # of points to draw as NR ELK?

    DDD, thanks for the input. I'm not looking for the new state record, but just an opportunity at a 340ish class bull. When I lived in AZ (still regret moving :() I was muley hunting near Prescott and encountered a small herd and saw one that fit the above description there, well, he would have...

    Avg # of points to draw as NR ELK?

    Yes, I realize that. That's what I am trying to look at, see what chances I have for different units. If that makes sense......My understanding or atleast what I have read is that units, 1, 2, 10, 27 are the most desired units and may take up to 13 or so points.

    Avg # of points to draw as NR ELK?

    Just curious how many points it has taken any NR to draw for AZ Archery Elk. If you were lucky enough to have drawn in the past, what unit did you put in for? I currently have 7 and am debating whether to try my luck next year or maybe take my chances in MT or NM. Thanks!!
