Not sure where to post this, but it seems like alot of us have some great trips planned this fall. Where are you going, for what animals, and what are your chances for success?

We know about Moosie, he might have the best trip of all with the sheep. maybe he can elaborate a little more.

I'll be hunting:
oryx (off-range)- NM in August
moose, caribou, black bear - AK in Sept.
elk -NM Unit 15 in Nov.
javalina -NM Feb.
Probably a gen. deer hunt, and, God willing, coues deer in AZ.
Chance of success - slim to none ;)

Panhandle Idaho "Clarkia" mostly for Elk and then Clearwater again for white tail this year.

Gave up on home for hunting accept for birds. Man, I wish I could find a good job in Northern Idaho!

Wyoming-- 1 general elk, second cow tag, 2 doe antelope, 1 buck antelope, 1 general deer, 2 doe deer, 1 fall turkey.

Montana--one elk, one deer, and maybe a second doe tag, depending on the draw results. I also get to help a buddy from AK with a Montana Bighorn Ram.

Pending in AZ-elk, antelope, sheep, and coues deer.

Javelina in AZ for sure.

Other than that, just another boring season.

Sounds like some great trips are planned for this fall. Here is my schedule.

Heading to BC in 3 weeks for Mtn Caribou and possibly stone sheep. (I used to work for the outfitter in idaho and a guy i have guided in the past several times in idaho is the actually hunter.) He's going for stone, moose, goat, and elk. We are going to be there almost 3 weeks. The outfitter has a sheep cancellation so if its still open, and the hunter gets a big ram, and we see another big ram, I may get my stone. its a real long shot. Otherwise I'll have alot of time to work the spotting scope, and help my buddy get some good trophies and find a Mtn caribou for myself.

then i'll hunt deer here in arkansas, and hope for a buck that scores 90, maybe shoot a few ducks if any come down, and possibly go to kansas for pheasant if they keep getting rain.

WY- Buck deer and doe antelope

ID- Clearwater whitetails, water fowl, and possibly sharptails and chukars.

UT- I've put in for anterless moose, elk, deer, and pronghorn, so will wait for those results before I decide what general season tags. Will hunt upland and small game here as well.

Waiting for the draw in AZ. No luck elsewhere this year, so it may be just tagging along on a NM antelope hunt, AZ javalina and CA hogs. Along with varmints and quail.

Early August - Prairie Dogs and Coyote North Park, CO.

August 23 thru September 2 - Canoe & Fish the Wood River Lakes, AK.

September 4 thru 16 - Moose on the King Salmon River, AK.

September 17 thru 28 - Caribou the Mulchatna Herd, AK.

No pronghorn tag this year. :(

Early November - Elk & Mule Deer, Colorado's 3rd season.

Mid-November - Pheasants in South Dakota.

Maybe give a try at waterfowl in North Park CO.

Gotta become familiar with Wyoming draw procedures.

I would like to make a return trip to hunt exotics in TX. Great fun.

KC :D
