Hi all,
I have a swaro STX 85mm scope. Any advice on what case/cover to run? I primarily backpack hunt...just got the spotter. Have looked at a few...the swaro case seems ridiculously overpriced/bulky...maybe I am wrong? I did see on Gohunt that they have a marsupial case that looks decent...
I drew the general tag this year and will be hunting in Sept (archery). I've currently been pouring over 85, 86, 89, 90, 92 and 94 specifically. I was wondering if anybody had experience in any of these areas with a bow during Sept and if so, if you would be interested in having a conversation...
Going to call the biologist in the next week regarding upcoming archery elk hunt in Wyoming. Aside from the generic questions one typically asks a biologist regarding their hunt, what are some good questions that the average person doesn't think to ask a biologist?
Hi all, I am looking for a bit of help with regard to elk in unit 107 during archery season. I'd love to talk over PM if you have any insight but I am hoping to find out if elk are simply in the unit (specifically the central southern portion of the unit) during archery season. I was talking to...
Thoughts on what will happen this year with amount of points it will take to draw the general? 2pp was a slam dunk in the regular draw in years prior, looking back at the data it looks like only 58% of apps with 2pp were taken last year in the regular. Think it will level off at all or will 3 to...
Crazy to see on GoHunt that Cody Nelson is now making GoHunt "the optics authority" (something he said for many years with Outdoorsmans). I dont really have any opinion on the issue, just was curious as to why GoHunt grabbed him away from the Outdoorsmans when Cody was the backbone of that...
Am I reading this correctly that for 2018, to draw the general tag (regular draw/NR) only 58.43% of people with 2pp were successful? Just looking back over this (not hunting elk this year) and was baffled to see that just under 60% drew the general tag with 2pp. 2pp used to be a slam dunk for...
I’ve hunted Idaho elk OTC one time and thought that I was familiar with the draw process for the limited entry units. However I was shooting my bow at my local shop and a guy who hunts Idaho every year says he does the “December” draw for elk and is successful every year. He was really nebulous...
Was reminiscing about a Colorado archery elk hunt from a few years back with a friend yesterday afternoon and got to laughing pretty hard about a crazy experience from the hunt. Thought I would share it on here for multiple reasons...1)To continue the therapeutic healing process. 2) To see how...
Hey all,
Still learning the AZ lic and draw. I read that in Arizona, just like Utah, a NR Hunting/Fishing license is good for 365 days from the date of purchase. So is it possible, like in Utah, to buy a lic before the big game drawing is due, then use that same license to apply during the big...
Is it possible to simply buy a point during the application period in Utah? For some reason I cannot find this anywhere. If so, do you know the cost of only the point?
Thanks!
Hi all,
I have a question that I know there is an answer to, however, I cannot seem to find it in the regs. I have a friend who owns a ranch in Wyoming. Next elk season (Fall of 2018) will be an "off" year for me where I am in between with points in states and unlikely to draw anything anywhere...
Hi all,
I have one point in Wyoming and was planning on applying as a non-res for a general unit (archery hunt) for the fall of 2018, specifically unit 107 in the south. I have a friend who purchased a ranch in the area and he said when I draw, I would be able to hunt his property. I understand...
Hey all,
I have not applied to Wyoming before and have read the regulations but am unclear about one aspect of the preference point allocation. I am a non-resident and will be buying a PP after July 1st 2017. It seems as though my PP will be applied to my 2018 application correct? If that is the...
