I put in and got drawn for General Elk in Wyoming. I will be going on a horseback backcountry hunt in late September. First time hunting elk. Can't wait!
I am also building points for deer, elk, and antelope in Montana and Colorado.
Let us know how this turns out. I had considered this but I hate the thought of giving a WY outfitter my money after they have have so royally screwed us NR hunters.
I will be putting in again for Elk in Montana. I think this is going to be my lucky year to draw my tag.
isn't Montana general draw high chances? I believe its around 84% for general tag then if you draw general you can apply to be drawn for a limited unit which is much much harder?

Yea I can understand that. I really did my HW and am going to a very reputable outfit. Success rates are high, but I am going more for the experience than the kill.
OTC tags are fine, IF you know where to go and have paid your dues. Most people only hunt a OTC once and then jump from unit to unit, state to state. Grass is always greener on the other side. I have 10 elk points in Colorado and will die before I aquire enough for a limited unit tag in one of the desired units. I have 17 mule deer points and I'm still 3-4 away from possibly drawing a tag. I should have started earlier but started elk hunting at 40.
I put in for NM again this year. Brutal is all I gotta say. almost 4k every year and never drawn... Anyone else put in? What state and what tag?
I put in for
Elk
Ibex
Mule Deer
Pronhorn
Ok let’s be clear with this post. You front $4k and get most of it back. That’s not the same as costing you 4K. [emoji2357] Or just roll with it and scare everyone off. Either or? You used to have to front almost 7k just in Colorado just for moose sheep and goat.
