What's in the Hopper for 2021?

[Deleted member 20812]

Some of our plans are starting to finalize for 2021. I was able to fully commit on a bucket list trip for this fall. Me and two other good friends are going to road trip to the grass lands of South Dakota to hunt prairie chickens and sharptails. This has been on the radar for a while, and I'm excited to get the opportunity to spend time with these guys.

Nothing else is set yet, other than later summer/early fall bear hunting in Oregon. Word on the street is there could be a gathering of HT hooligans.

I would like to shoot chukars instead of shooting behind chukars. Other than that, the usual mix of bear/deer/elk/antelope, and hopefully a lot more pheasants with my dad.

It’s looking like a September mule deer hunt in Wyoming and the aforementioned gathering of HT hooligans for bear here in Oregon are on the docket for me. If I wind up pulling a tag elsewhere my marriage is going to be in trouble...

POW Sitka Blacktail this August is a lock.

Putting in for Idaho Moose again.

I'm planning the most basic hunting season for 2021 with my first child coming in late May.
I am making zero plans outside of my local hunts. Not to say a spur of the moment trip doesn't happen, but definitely not planning any.

Frank church deer hunt. Possibly my dads last trip in there

Congratulations!

The tags gods control my 21 hunt destinations but either way will have a pocket full of tags. I just hope i dont go 0for23? like last year but adding few more apps this year to help odds plus point added.

I am making a big change in fact i am not shooting as many animals anymore! More quality vs quanity, I am going to try for some larger animals and target some new and challenging hunt areas. If i walk away with a tag in pocket so be it, i am gifted to have the time, i want to savor it more if that makes sense

I’m trying to justify an elk permit in NM since ‘20 was a nogo.

The usual applications for us, with a possible/likely foray to Minnesota to chase birds and meet some strangers from the Internet

Hoping everyone has better luck with their plans in 2021!

Can’t wait to hear your SD recap.

10 days on horseback chasing WY bulls during the rut with a rifle, near the park! Can’t wait, OIL for me.

Mountain goat app in ID. General rifle deer and elk here in Oct/Nov. Lastly, late rifle cows here in late Nov.

Unfortunately no bow hiking on the calendar this year. I suck at archery, but damn it’s fun.

Points in MT, WY and CO.

But you have a multi-season saga going, so that has to count for something

And congrats on the new addition!

Moose in CO & AK & VT, la sal goat tag, breaks sheep and elk, copper river bison and a WY elk tag in the bighorns...

A little busy, but it is what it is...

 

[hogcarpy]

I should draw CO archery and the normal MT elk tag. Fingers really crossed for WY elk.

 

[rwc101]

We'll see if I whiff on LQ elk and pronghorn or not. Have a few personal challenges like catch a tiger muskie, go sheep spottin this summer, fishing trip to the Winds, catch a Wyoming walleye, see if the Miracle Miles is all it's cracked up to be. Whatever happens I'll fill up my calendar.

My best friend and I are doing a caribou drop camp in AK in early September. Then antelope in Wyoming if I draw any tags.
Not hunting related but the wife and I are going on a week long brewery tour of NE Colorado and Wyoming in late May.
