I drew an modern weapon 2nd season Antlered deer tag. This year it's all I put in for since my Uncle from out of state wanted to put in for a tag. Next year I will put in for Elk and bear again.

I just drew a deer tag. That's the second year in a row, and has never happened before. I drew a turkey tag earlier this year, and got him on the opener.

I missed the deadline for the apps.
Just as well since I blew three disks in my neck early March. I am still in an amaizing amount of pain. The thought of throwing a pack on hurts. |

I draw an elk/deer/bear/lion/wolf tag every year when I walk up to the counter and buy one
That still won’t help me find one during hunting season though* |

I’ll be doing the OTC bow hunt again this year. Banking points for a really good unit. Just had my tag show up today though.
Damn, bow season is coming up fast. 8-25-18, either sex elk. I’m ready though.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

We find out August 3rd if we drew any rifle deer tags. Sure to draw buck antelope for a unit we know well.
Archery deer starts 9-1! Already know where I want to be and what I hope to see. If he made it through the winter he should be a very nice deer. |

I didn't draw anything. Put in for deer, elk and antelope.....skunked. Think I'll go back home to Tennessee and hunt with family this year. Makes for a good Thanksgiving.

But I have put elk in the freezer 17 years hunting OTC units, with a Rifle. The Fucking elk I was dropping at 20-50 yards with a rifle have been elusive with a bow. I have a rifle cow tag to back up the bow season this year. Some elk is going in the freezer. |

I watched some guys from Ohio do just that 5 years ago. All that meat was spoiled by the time they got it out. And those fuckers were beat down bad when they finally got it all out. Just go. It’s not really about the kill anyway. Well, maybe sorta. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, go next year. This is a tough hunt at 59. Last elk I packed out was brutal, and it was only 1.25 miles to the road, but thru a quarter mile of blowdown and mostly uphill, at 10k’. I’m not going down in some hell hole, where I could easily kill an elk. I watched some guys from Ohio do just that 5 years ago. All that meat was spoiled by the time they got it out. And those fuckers were beat down bad when they finally got it all out. Just go. It’s not really about the kill anyway. Well, maybe sorta. Do you hurt solo? I don't find packing one out with a partner to bad can get it all in 2 trips on your own it's a 4 trip suck fest. I've seen people about kill themselves doing stupid stuff like dragging a large cow to the road on a blue tarp. |

I've got a leftover 1st season rifle bull elk tag in a decent spot of Colorado, 2 doe/fawn special antelope tags on some beautiful private ranch land in Wyoming, a bow forked antler deer tag for my land, and maybe an over the counter bear tag here in NM if I'm feeling squirrelly. Though that'll probably be a bit much with the family.

LOL. Amazing. He must have been blown away.
2020 we can start hunting elk out of state. We have them in the Black Hills here, but tags are challenging to draw. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pretty much solo. I have friends who roll in for the weekends, and this year I invited a new elk hunter into camp for a week. Out of state guy from Iowa, we hunted hard for most of his week, and I had to go home for a couple days. He stayed in camp, I told him to go check the hill above camp, somewhere we had not been. Sure as hell, this bull was up there, and he tagged it. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/857/628E9156-CC73-4173-AAF7-CD8F3C807C84-678267.JPG |

Pretty much just bought points for elk, deer and antelope in Colorado. Wil do OTC elk next year.
Put in for 14 different units/hunts here in TX, still pending second draw on four of them and waiting for the mule deer draw. Luckily I have a few invites to private land. Couldn't afford a lease this year. |

@DVCER
I'm headed out to the Meeker area for the 1st rifle season with 3 other guys. I'm a last minute fill in for one of the party that got sick and had to back out. Anyhow, the hunt is with an outfitter and we will be left on our own at a drop camp. If I see elk, that's great. If I shoot one, even better, but to me it's all about the time outside. I'm told that there are a bunch of lakes and streams in the area and I would like to do some fishing. Any thoughts or pointers? Flyrod or spinning setup? Flies, spinners, poppers? I see you had a flyrod in one pf your pics. |
