This is the first year I put in for either vs bull only. I'm at max chances so along with my wy elk hunt maybe I can fill the freezer with some lean protein!

I'm half owner of a branch of a small mortgage company... but at one time or another have done almost everything. Been a roofer (til I fell off my second roof), a plumbing and heating apprentice, ...

yup... they bugle and then run for their lives!

I was headed this year to a private ranch area 113 , However,their are no tags for Elk this year in 113. Need to find someone else. After shooting the 8x8 I am now a meat hunter for Elk. Any...

Wow... those are horrible stories! I'd definitely only book with an outfitter that has recent references that can be verified. Obviously it's hunting and not shooting, but if you don't even get to...

Awesome! Thanks so much! What do you normally do with them at night? I've had the best results with rope corral that I move around evey night.

Hey Folks, has anyone ever utilized "wyoming horses" out of Pavillion WY to rent horses? I've used a guy out of afton area before, which was OK but not spectacular. Looking for a few for a...

I hear ya edelwiess! but you've also got some pretty awesome big game hunting right in your backyard... Alaska! WOW! That makes it easier to rationalize giving up on some dream western hunts. ...

Utah only makes you purchase the non-refundable license if your previous is expired, so the savvy person only has to donate the big bucks every OTHER year.

okay.... not applying in UT may have been a mistake! I just watched some show where they were hunting in the Wasatch Mountains, and OMG are there some there!!!!! Friggin bulls everywhere! I'm...

I'd start looking in unit 100 brother! hee hee haw haw... :)

Now you're talkin' HM! I'd love to but some yukon backstrap in the freezer!

I love it HM! I'm really only interested in hunting elk... maybe an alaska moose trip some time in the future, but hunting rutting elk in the high country is my passion! I have 4 points in UT, 3...

hey favre let us know if u draw! ;) No NM for me this year because WY will be getting my full attention. (And my wife says 1 western hunt per year til my kid grows up a bit). Good luck

I can tell you this, I've been lucky enough to hunt it some of the best units available anywhere, where you trip over elk walking out of camp, and even called a few nice bulls within bow range of...

Utah has just opened a new OTC area I believe this year... Montana, Idaho, WY offer yearly options for OTC or GEN Hunts which can be good if you meet the right people, do your homework, go to the...

Well for this year I've decided to pull the plug.... I don't I lose my points I've accrued for a year or two so that gives me time to reconsider in the future. My goal is to draw a decent hunt...

Well I'm 43 going on 23 and been lucky enough to go on 8 or 10 elk hunts, personally successful 3 times and someone in our group successful all but 2 or 3 times. I'm all about DIY hard working...

Here I sit again, perusing the Utah application (donation as I now call it) information and I wonder.... Does this really make sense? Applying year after year... Hundreds of dollars for license...

I've hunted 16b/22 , it's a several times. Most recently about 4 or 5 years ago. It's basically all wilderness with good elk numbers and some really big bulls. We always went in far far FAR to get...

Let's narrow this down since i think that song covers several colleges?? Were you part of the union or confederacy... ;) Hee hee

That's Funny stuff..... yeah I'm friends with his older brother. He was going to go to OSU but since he was a local kid they figured they didn't need to go full boat on his scholarship... whoops! ...

Come on now... for me to wear an OHIO STATE hat.... I'd need you to tie that big ol bull to a tree! Thats sacrilege around these parts!

Do you remember a guy named Grant Bowman? DT from...

This has really been great, and I appreciate all the info and help from everybody. This plan is coming together and we have much research to do on various units and hunt options. Any further hints,...
