Thanks guys I really appreciate the input!!
I know that if I hunt deer first, I'll see a monster elk and vise-versa lol. As for my condition, I'm 57 but I can probably outwork 95% of people regardless of age (not bragging, I've just always stayed in shape).
As for the type of elk hunt...
I started buying elk points in WY REALLY late in life, and even though I am only at 7 points, I think I should probably burn them while I can still hike!
I think in 2025 I should plan an elk and/or Mulie trip to WY from Kansas. I have never hunted either and would be delighted with anything. I...
I got an email from Wyoming fish and game stating that Jan 31st was the last day to apply for an elk license. I assume if all I want to do this year is buy an elk POINT, that the deadline is much later in the year?
Thank you!!

I agree 10000% the first time you hunt these little dudes, you'll likely guess they are farther away than they really are and shoot right over their back! :rolleyes:
You guys are all AWESOME! I guess I will start researching KS! I think I just fell prey to the "grass is always greener" scenario.
That was easy!
Thank you!!!
I have killed my fair share of whitetail, and Pronghorn, but I have yet to even hunt Mule Deer. I live in East Central KS, and I have 2 points in WY.
As I start doing my research, have any of you got any input as to where I might set my sights for my first mulie hunt?
Thank you!!
Thank you my friend! It's been an eventful 18 mos!! 20 years of marriage, down the drain! I didn't even hunt last year.
I'll start putting in for the KS hunts, and do what I can to get out West, I need to get back to doing something I love.
Thanks again!
Thanks so much!
I am happy for ANY input!! I'm just not sure I can take the time off work, or spend the cash to make repeated trips in one year. I do have a friend in MT, so I will take your advice on applying there! You think it's easier to get a tag there?
Thanks again.
I am in the process of doing my own research, but I value your collective experiences more than my newbie speculation.
For several years I planned on going on my first elk hunt as my dream hunt. I bought points in WY for 4 years, then a messy divorce stomped out those dreams. (just being...
