Hello! So this year my dad drew an AZ Limited opportunity either elk tag (Units 17a,17b etc) as he is getting older this is likely his last elk tag he will be able to hunt. I made the 7 hour drive and went scouting this weekend and covered a lot of ground but managed to only get eyes on spike in...
Hello, I am thinking of heading to west/southwestern Colorado hopping to fill a rifle Black Bear tag.
My plan was to hunt in acorn rich areas and hopefully stumble upon a bear. I have heard from a few sources that the acorn crop is really bad this year due to how dry it’s been. Can anyone...
Update for y’all. I ended up going with the MDT Field Stock in Savage LA CIP. I also purchased a 3 round 30.06 CIP metal mag from Accurate Mag. It cycles the 7mm Backcountry rounds perfect without needing any lip adjustment. Kind of a gamble buying all this without shooting the gun first but...
Hello, I recently purchased a Savage 110 Trail Hunter Lite in LA. The hogue stock that it comes with is definitely not a stock I’d like to stick with. Anyone know of a different stock I could get? Will a savage accustock from another savage fit? Literally any other stock would be better than the...
I would skip the mid season hunt. I had that last year and it was a battle with spike hunters. Also, its usually very hot and bulls aren't very active.
Lots of people would give up elk and deer tags for 10 years to just hunt Oryx once....never seen someone make it like a bad thing that they drew an Oryx tag haha
Zion is the best IMO but they haven’t gave out tags to non residents the last couple years. You get some big rams that stumble out of ZNP. Plus limited tags obviously creates some big ones.
Chad Mendes big ram a few years ago is from there.
Taking it back to 2023 when surprisingly I drew a Rocky Mountain Sheep Ewe tag. This was a new hunt (only been around for 3 years at the time) and my odds of drawing was less than 1%. Needless to say I was very happy with my successful email.
Not knowing anything about that unit I quickly began...
I've hunted it once before. A lot of the elk I was seeing were hanging out in the fields by Salida. I'd watch the elk to come out of the fields and onto BLM/FS land. That's how I tagged out. Hope this helps!
