Calling all hunters

Is everyone happy with there draw results?

 

Where I hunt in CO my bull tag is over the counter but my cousin is joining me this year and drew a muley tag, so he's happy.

 

I run into a lot of hunters from PA when I hunt public. What unit do you elk hunt in?

 

Everyone from CO tells me there are no elk there...

 

Looks like I got a buck deer license in GMU 99, haven’t got the email on antelope yet. I did get my preference points for elk, bear, and moose as well.

 

With good reason!

 

Oh, yeah........ yeah, there's no elk in this state. Hehehehehe

 

What! Come on. Take that sweet camper out and shoot something. Lol

 

Got both Buck and Bull that I put in for. Used my Pref points. Missed hunting last year. I was a bit sick. Not too concerned about bagging a Buck...Gravy...Getting that that big Bull this year...Odds are in my favor. Late hunt. Should be snow up where I go in the high country.... My time....GMU 38.... Big ass herd and I have access to private land with a spring at 10.6K ft....

 

I went 2 out of 4 and drew a cow elk hunt and an archery deer hunt. Missed out on antelope and oryx

 

Can out of state residents buy an OTC elk tag?

 

If there are any left...

 

Still waiting for Oregon to post results

 

When I lived in Orygun from 1965 to 1978.............no draw. You could hunt anywhere in the state. Hint..........Steens Mountains if you want to bag YUGE bench bucks (muley/white tail hybrids....)

 

Depends on the sex, season and unit.

 

Drew for pp for deer and elk in co. Sadly i cant hunt this year.

 

I did not draw elk rifle or black powder or deer. Looks like it is up to my son to fill the freezer in 7/8, unless I can have success OTC. I am not sure this point thing is worth it. I can't eat the horns.

 

Yup, for the low cost of $661 for a bull, and $496 for a cow. Yikes!

 

I hunt in GMU 18. Grand county, between Granby and Rand, west of 125.

 

No way! That's the unit I've meet guys from NY and PA. By Spicer peak, Dennis hump and ironclad MT.

 

I'll have to look at the map and see where you're at. We're in between elk and sheep mountains and corral peaks. We drop camp about 8 miles in on horseback for 3rd rifle so I don't run into many other guys lol.

 

I am glad I live in IA. Just take a weekend to bow hunt, usually drop a couple every year. Then take one or two out shotgunning. All tags OTC.

 

You guys don’t have a rifle season right?

 

Seems cheaper than Washington out of state cost. Everything is 10x the amount of a resident. And where the good elk is, you have to draw for branch antler. I wouldn't come here for out of state.

 

Not Colorado but, I got drawn for multiseason deer here in Washington. Normally you have to pick a method and that's it. This year I get to archery, muzzleloader, and modern firearm hunt this year. I am excited. Still waiting on draw results to post late July.

 

I hunted second rifle in 2012 and 2014 in that area. We did it diy and rented horses from sombrero.

 

I've been going since '04. We go thru a guide and use his horses and tent so we just pack in our gear and food but he takes the horses back to the guided camp so we hunt on foot. We hunt the full nine days and usually go 2 for four, occasionally one for four and our best is three for four a couple of times. I love it but not sure how much longer I'll be doing it the way we've been doing it. It's my dad, two uncles and I, occasionally a cousin or my brother but my dad is 71 and my uncles are 75 and 76. We hunt hard and age is starting to become a reality and they're pretty whooped by the end.

 

I never did hunt there when I was stationed in spokane.
