Howdy from Wi

[WiscoHoundsman]

New to rockslide, been looking at posts for a few months while deciding on what/where to apply for an elk tag for this fall. From the sw corner of Wisconsin. Spend lots of time every year bear hunting, trapping, whitetail hunting, coyote hunting and fishing. Just finally scratching the itch to go west.

welcome from Riverfalls WI. As keller said, do it. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner once you get out there. I hope your putting in for our elk draw here too.

Welcome houndman. Yes you should do a western hunt...of course you can just wait till you get your Wisconsin Elk tag.

Welcome from Madison. Considering the timing, I would focus on Colorado or Idaho for this fall, regardless of weapon choice. You just missed the Colorado primary draw but there is still plenty of OTC and secondary draw opportunities. Idaho still has 2,900 NR elk tags left available. Good luck if you make it out west this year!

It’s not too late for the CO draw. Due to technical issues, it was difficult to enter yesterday, so they’ve opened it back up for entry until 8pm MDT tomorrow (April 8).

I already got my draw in for Colorado, now the wait, if I don’t draw I will do an OTC

Good luck! I'm in the Madison area too, and am expecting to draw CO 1st rifle this year, as my fourth trip out there. The Midwest is great... But dang, I just love every minute in the mountains.

Welcome from Hudson. If you have the cash, just start building some points in various states, then go for an OTC hunt and start getting your feet wet and learning the ropes.

Welcome from SE WI. Going out west hunting is addicting. I'm in for Montana deer, Wyoming deer and elk for this year. If you are looking for a nice starter hunt, check out Wyoming antelope.

Welcome aboard good luck out west, but if you don’t get drawn at least you have some good hunting in your neck of the woods.
