I've hunted 77 and 78 multiple times. You need signifigant snow in the high country or you need horses to get to them. I hunt upill 2.5 to three miles in(I'm 55 and hunt solo and thats as far as I can pack one out) and between 2021 3rd season and 2022 1st rifle I saw one fresh pile of...
It's probably worth mentioning that you can only receive a preference point from the primary draw. If you missed the primary draw, buy a qualifying license, enter secondary draw, are unsuccessful in secondary draw, you will not receive a preference point in that year.
Hunters should be aware that the secondary draw gives youth hunters 100% priority. example #1-hunt code ee0120a. 10 tags available for draw, 509 applicants, of which 17 were youth, 10 drew-7 didn't. The 492 adults had zero chance to draw. Example # 2- hunt code em04101r. 14 tags...
The way it works for me is I send them about $250 every year, anticipate the draw results date for about a week in late June and then receive three not selected notifications. Maybe next year.

Mummy bags remind me of sleeping double in a bunk bed. I'm 5 inches shorter and 10 lbs heavier than you are and that may make a difference. I ended up sacrificing weight for comfort and going with a semi-rectangular bag. It would sure be worth your time to crawl into a few different sizes to...
You would need to apply for a region R tag. It's good for area 41,46,47,50,51,52 and 53. You do not have to declare which unit to hunt, you have access to all in the region. It looks like it takes 2 points to draw this tag. You can buy preference point for this year. I believe most of this...
