DIY Hunt

[Dadof twoboys]

Hello everyone, I am looking for suggestions on a place to hunt over the Thanksgiving week. Its been a few years since my oldest son and i have got to hunt together and we are looking for a place to do some hunting , bow and or gun. The state does not mater. Deer,antelope, or any big game.We are looking for public land where we will have good opportunity to see game. Thanks in advance and safe hunting to all this year !

That late, make it Whiteys in one of the states with OTC tags and public ground.

Where do you live and how far are you willing to travel?

 

[Dadof twoboys]

In Wisconsin but willing to go anyplace in the lower 48.

Can't you buy a resident tag for whitetails.

Kansas regular firearms whitetail is Nov 28-Dec 9th. There may be some leftover NR tags left. KDWPT phone #620-672-0728.

We wanted to hunt someplace other then Wi

Gotcha. tags are easier to get the farther east you go, but public land gets in short supply too.Hope you find something that works for you

Any thoughts on Texas ?

 

[spook12]

Basically no public ground.

 

[Dadof twoboys]

Ah, ok

 

[spook12]

Eastern Ok,Western Ark,millions of acres of public ground. Easy tags.

One thing to remember about Kansas: All NR must have hunter's safety regardless of age. No minimum age to hunt if accompanied by licensed (at least) 18 year old.

You may use all weapon types during the "regular firearms" whitetail season.

MT still has deer and elk tags available, but they are not cheap. That is the last weekend of the season.

If you haven't found it yet, checkout the Resources tab at the top of the home page, connects to each states web site.

You gotta think too about travel time...depending on where you go you might have a 2 day drive each way, so that will only leave you a couple days to hunt

Here is a link for left over tags in Wyoming. Maybe a cow elk hunt would be a good idea.

Could do Whitetails in N. Idaho at that time. Some very good bucks around and rut should be well fired at that time. LOTS of leftover NR deer tags in Idaho right now. Easy to find public ground to hunt.

Buy a MI license and just go up through WI and hunt whitetails on all the public land in the UP. You'll feel right at home with all the Yoopers and that way you'll have a lot of hunting time with very little travel involved!!!
