Raisen Bran and I are already plotting out the maps and locations for our summer scouting leading into the 2023 Elk archery season. My plan is simply for both of us to get our first elk whether bull or cow with our recurves. After that it's all gravy!!!
Plans for 2023
- Thread starter Scott85
- Start date
Clock is ticking. 2022
Sat. morning is close. Elk around in the valley.
New tires on truck, meds refilled, store run in, Rio has fresh cookies. Check.
Rifle out , checked, oiled, ammo & tag at hand. Hunting wear out tomorrow to air in the pinions.
Temps to rise Sat. and possible snow in morning. Perfect conditions with wind from the right direction predicted.
Gave the last LO tag to the Postmistress. She did not draw elk and blanked on the deer. Made her day.

All great except for the last. God has no place in making your hunts fubar, that’s all you.

Oh I’m sorry… you feel God doesn’t provide you the patience or opportunity? The knowledge or the scenery or the emotion? I do… you don’t have to give your thanks to Him

Well, shalom aleichem to you as well! Some dudes on here are brittle and we have to play nice, but not you. I’m sorry I pushed a button.

I’m going to spend next year digging deep into my waterfowl hunting roots.
I might even skip a year of *gasp* big game hunting.

'23 will be the "on" year for me and my buddy's western trips. Planning mule deer in WY. I had an area picked out but he forgot to buy a point last year so I've been having to figure out a backup plan. Think I have our new area figured out. Looking forward to a new part of the state and a new species.

Not quite done with 2022. But general thoughts on 2023 as follows:
ID Elk - 2 tags
ID Deer - 2 tags (see if I can extend my streak of no deer shooting)
ID pronghorn - Not the best odds but there's a chance at drawing
Will put in for WY pronghorn and elk tags that will have a small chance in the random.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. I had just woken up, perhaps on the wrong side..
I thought you were saying my success and failures is for solely me to take responsibility for…? I’d like to thank the man upstairs for both..
Didn’t push my buttons. Happy holidays to you.

All plans are fluid, but I've had verbal discussions with partners about:
Spring Bear in Western Oregon.(long weekend)
Archery hunt Montana for elk.
Draws I'll apply for:
Idaho Elk
Arizona Elk
California Full Boat (Antelope, Mule Deer, Elk, Sheep)
Nevada Elk

Apart from the yearly local shenanigan's, I'd like to add a spring bear hunt to MT or ID, along with Elk in WY if I can draw.

Here’s what I’m shooting for:
1) wyoming H for deer
2) Montana elk
3) put in for the ND archery general and chase some MD in November with the bow. Thanks @brocksw for the inspiration, maybe I’ll find that #30inchtall buck after all.

I killed the last mule deer in ND. I hear there is a bunch across the boarder in eastern MT though.

I’ll take my chances! Can’t be any worse than trying to find a deer in Montana.
