Hi everyone. I’ve been on the site a little while and thought I should introduce myself. I’m a whitetail hunter from northwest Florida. I’ve done a couple of unsuccessful DYI elk hunts in Colorado, once as a teenager and once when I was in my early 20s. (I’m 41 now). I also got to take a mule deer and antelope in 2016 when I was invited to hunt on private land in NE Wyoming. Since then, I’ve been planning to get serious and hunt the public lands DYI for elk and deer on a regular basis. This year, two buddies and I have started buying points in three states so we can rotate through them and hopefully hunt every year with at least 2 or 3 points each time as we rotate through, if that makes sense. Planning on western Montana for 2020. I’m soaking up all the info I can from Randy’s podcasts, Elk Talk and this site. I appreciate you guys and I hope you don’t mind my occasional “new guy” question. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been big game hunting my entire life, but the hiking in/packing out thing is new to me and I have a lot to learn about elk. Thanks all.
