    I see you were successful on your Henry’s bison a couple years ago. My wife has a January tag this year. Any tips/tricks/pointers you can offer would be much appreciated.

    Idaho Steep Soup

    Look into some BodyGlide or SquirrelNutButter to prevent those rashy spots in the future.

    New Mexico Unit 45 Muley Hunt

    Put in 10.5 miles and 3100' of vert. Saw fresh sign everywhere and quite a few younger bucks or does with fawns. Most of the animals were around 9500' +/-, and activity had all but stopped by 8am. That being said, since I was headed to a completely new spot I didn't get on the trail until just...

    Water will be king. It’s been extremely dry in UT (like much of the west...) this year. Streams that haven’t dried up in 20 years are bone dry.

    Do you need an super duper magnum for elk?

    No. Medium duper, normal duper and any well placed shot with a 100gr or larger bullet traveling at an adequate rate of speed will do it. Eg people killing bull elk with 100gr archery broadheads.

    New Truck........

    I picked up a ‘19 new off the lot a few months ago. I don’t pull regularly enough to go with the diesel, so I went gas. No regrets, zero issues 10k miles in.

    I’ve been up scouting and seen similar: does everywhere, with only a few very young bucks with them.

    Utah pronghorn worth the effort?

    Idaho will let you transfer a tag to a youth hunter.

    Wolf Poaching

    Poaching wolves. That’s an oxymoron in my book.

    Seeking fellow western hunting partner

    Wow, that's some stout mileage. Especially if it's vert at altitude. Cool.

    Seeking fellow western hunting partner

    What are you carrying with you on your back? How many days and how much distance are you typically covering?

    Welcome. I haven't ventured into true backpack hunting yet. What is your setup like?

    New Mexico Unit 45 - First trip

    I'm in the same boat as yourself and look to be on this hunt solo. I've searched the forums on here and have PM'd a handful of members here who have provided some great tips. I'm in ABQ so I'll definitely be able to get some scouting trips in closer to season.

    Utah - Tags

    I’d say that historically, cards are usually hit about 1 week to 10 days before the “official results” are out.
