    WY Unit 103 Cow

    Idaho resident that pulled a Wyoming NR general tag. Struck out on my main hunt in unit 91 but noticed I can go back first half of November for a cow in nearby unit 103. Per On X's layer looks like the majority of the unit is winter range. For a cow this time of year should I be focusing on the...

    Separating Out Elk Roasts

    When people talk about doing roasts are they generally doing a whole muscle group or is it just a hunk of meat? For example I froze a top sirloin off my elk's hindquarter and now want to use it as a roast. Using the whole thing would probably be bigger than I want. Should I just cut it in...

    WY Unit 91 Cow Tag

    Was out there this past Fri-Sun and didn't hear or see any elk. Spent two days in the Cottonwood Creek area and one day in the Strawberry Creek area. Was pleased with the lack of pressure I experienced. Only saw 3 other parties of hunters and they were all on horseback and had rifles so I...

    DIY Float Resources

    Looking for books or any other resources for planning float trips. Not so much the logistics of the trips in general but put in and take out spots, camping spots, water class, fishing info etc for specific rivers. The more area covered the better but I am most interested in the Northwest...

    Moving to ID from CO

    I'm moving from Colorado to Idaho in April. For hunting purposes where will I be considered a resident for the 2019 season? When I fill out my Colorado app I would still technically be a resident but when the season rolled around I wouldn't. The reverse is true of Idaho. If I had my choice I...

    Shoulder Roast Questions

    I got my first elk and want to try one or more of these delicious sounding elk shoulder roast recipes I've seen. Probably a dumb question but I am confused how to take a single elk shoulder and make it into multiple bone in roasts. Do I just take a bone saw and cut it into reasonable portions...

    CO 2 PP Recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendation on how and if I should use my 2 PP as a resident this draw in Colorado. The two most important criteria for me are access and success. With that in mind I am open to either a bull or a cow tag. I plan on getting the antlerless OTC tag for archery (list 'B' tag)...

    Medicine Bow Wyoming Type 6

    I'm looking to apply for a type 6 tag in the Medicine Bow area and wondering if any of the units is really better than the others. Unit 9 - Has by far the highest odd in 2016 at 96% draw. It has an * for access issues but there appears to be plenty of national forest in the unit. Unit 10 -...

    Dumb Elk Head Questions

    I'm sure this will seem like a dumb question to most but if I have no interest in mounting an elk what do you do with the head? In Colorado I gather I have to pack out the head because of antler point restrictions but once home do people who aren't mounting just throw the head away? In states...

    Antelope Meat Care

    I have a few question specific to Antelope about meat care that I would appreciate some feedback on. 1. I can probably fit an entire quartered antelope into a single game bag but should I still separate out the quarters so they aren't mashed together hindering the cooling down process? 2...

    Colorado Late Season Unit 38

    I have a late season deer tag that is only good for the Jefferson County portion of unit 38. In terms of public land that really only seems to give me the Ralston Creek SWA and portions of the Golden Gate State Park. I hunted Ralston for a day and saw almost no sign even with pretty fresh...

    goHUNT Insider Public Access

    I recently sprung for goHUNT Insider and while I'm find it fun to tinker around with for hours I'm having trouble getting the value out of it that I had hoped for. There isn't any way to filter on amount of public access so most of the units that come up when I filter for good odds and good...

    Best Out of State Hunts

    I initially posted this in the wrong section of the forum and am moving it to here. If there is a moderator that can delete it from "Feathers and Wings" section that would be great. I'm located in Colorado which has plenty of good hunting opportunities but I like the idea of doing 1 hunt in a...

    Best Out of State Hunts

    I'm located in Colorado which has plenty of good hunting opportunities but I like the idea of doing 1 hunt in a different state each year. This year I did pronghorn in WY. I'm looking for good hunt opportunities to put on my radar so I can start formulating an application strategy. I've...

    Colorado Unit 42

    I leave tomorrow to hunt the SE portion of unit 42 near Reno, Van, and Haystack mountains. It is a ways in on forest service roads even though the weather is good how concerned should I be about weather potentially impacting my ability to get out? Also this should be prime black bear territory...

    General Elk Hunting Questions

    Hello, hoping some people may entertain a few general questions from a novice. 1. I get that at dawn and dusk you should be setup glassing but what are you generally doing between mid morning and when you set off for your evening glassing spot? Should I continue glassing hoping to spot bedded...

    Colorado Unit 37

    I've got a second season doe tag that is technically good for units 18, 28, 37 and 371. I've spent some time in unit 37 in Silverthorne and north of it so I plan to stick to that unit. Some things have come up at work so I am going to have less time to hunt than initially expected so I want to...

    Antelope Taste and Smell

    I harvested my first antelope just recently and it was actually my first time field dressing an animal. I think I did a decent job for a first timer took me maybe 30 - 45 mins and I had it in a cooler within 2 hours for sure. I did get a ton of hair on the meat though. When I got back to the...

    Long Range Practice in CO

    Any fellow Coloradans have suggestions where to practice at longer ranges than 100 yards? I'm in the Denver area and it seems like everything nearby is limited to 100 yards. I would like to get some more practice in at 200 - 300 yards before the season starts. Thanks.

    Wyoming Pronghorn Unit 113

    I’m traveling up from Colorado the second weekend in October to hunt this unit and looking for any tips. I’ve never successfully harvested any big game but heard WY antelope is a good way to get my feet wet. The unit has limited public land access but there does seem to be some reasonable...
