The Elk Thread

I'm gonna roll the dice again this year and out in for the gila. We shall see what transpires.

[a3dhunter]

Trying to get things planned out here....
CO:
Could do archery pronghorn OTC, but will probably be scouting so may skip it...
Archery elk OTC for me, same for my wife
2nd rifle cow elk for me, maybe for my wife as well
3rd rifle mule deer for me
Still trying to figure out how this is going to screw up my fly fishing....oh well.


Who knows, I may change all that up by the time apps go in....

COLORADO has an April 1st deadline this year, a little earlier than the last few years!

[buckybill]

Anybody ever hunted unit 80 in Colorado and can give me any info on it.

[rhendrix]

Jason, that's one hell of a season you got planned out buddy. Sounds awesome!

[unclefish]

I just bought a PP for elk in CO (we are going OTC Archery for elk)

Applied for Archery Deer. Good odds of drawing....so hopefully a few in our group will draw.
If I don't draw deer then will buy a bear tag in August. I might buy one even if I do draw a deer tag.

[ELKAHOLIC]

AZ entered, UT entered, WY points, Will try hard for a NM tag, staying away from the hard to draw tags this year. If all fails I guess it will be CO OTC for me.

[drthornton]

WY- points
AZ- applied
UT- applied
CO- points
NV- will apply when regs come out
NM- praying for a low random number again....if not, LO Voucher for me this year

Just booked a MT hunt for sept. anyone know anything about hunting MT?

[drthornton]

elkbowhunter has done allot in MT.

Who did you book with? Private land or Public? I know a few guys that do really good on private.

[jaker_cc]

It's private land. 5 days, 3 guys. We have the whole place to ourselves. Fully guided. Supposed to be quite a few big bulls on the ranch and surrounding properties.

I envy you guys that hunt elk in multiple states in the same year. I have one week each year to hunt elk so I'm a one trick pony....lol.

[Homer75]

Being private you should do good. What HD are you going to hunt? Central/eastern are your hotspots. If you look up records you'll see Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams have the records on several big elk there. I'm putting in around the breaks this year, only to build points but, I'll most likely be south of the Big Timber area.

I think most of us only hunt one state but enter the lottery for several. I know I try and get tags in several states but only end up with one tag.

This place is about 45 miles south of Butte and Bozeman MT.
