    Colorado 2024 LE elk tag allocations?

    Spent the whole morning looking for the OP original question on CPW website, then stumbled on this post. Should of know to look on the Slide first. @35WhelenAI Utah does something similar: They don't specifically, state how many that I am aware of. Only that a tag is available to NR. WY...

    Excel spreadsheet for Hunt Apps

    There are a couple other posts on here on this topic. The consensus is start building what you think works for you. Below is pretty much what I do as well. I prefer Word as the primary. Linking/ embedding Excel charts. Currently I am at 39 pages for 6 states- With lots of pictures. & my...

    CO point holders: how have you changed your draw strategy?

    Been building points year after year in CO. Had less than 10 deer points , but decided last year was a year. Had a fun hunt. The point creep has been steadily increasing the last few years. And pretty much going up by 1 point a year. Looking back at drawn out reports for the last few years we...

    NM Nonresident Antelope Dwindling Opportunities.

    @Jimss, pretty accurate statement. Only person who I knew ever hunted antelope in NM is someone who bought a landowner voucher. Before the change, 3-4 years back maybe..... when you drew an antelope tag, you were assigned a designated ranch to hunt. Since that change, most of the hunts have...

    Would you rather

    Think there is so much more than just option A & B. By who makes it where. Induvial economics come into play as well. I end up fixing a lot of things myself, plumbing, electrician, mechanic, carpentry etc. if I have to have the part today I will most likely support the local parts supplier...

    Introducing a puppy into the family with an older dog

    that link is probably the saddest thing on the Slide. I struggled for so long telling my story on there. My biggest take away is make sure you have a plan in place for your beloved pets.

    Colorado Mule Deer Question

    I've had to move quite a bit with my career, and have found picking hunts similar to picking houses. I make a list of what I want in a hunt, and star the items I have to have vs those that I would be nice to have. These change based on if I am hunting solo or which friends & family are going...

    Introducing a puppy into the family with an older dog

    We had a similar scenario, old dog was about 10 years, she was showing some age. Thought would would get a pup to liven her up a bit. Golden doodle pup annoyed the ever-living crap out of the old dog. Last few months the old dog was alive, the now ~ 2 year old pup would keep knocking her down...

    Colorado Mule Deer Question

    OP, it sound like you know what you both want out of a hunt. Just complete the work/ research to find the best likelihood of finding the hunt that meets that criteria. Wanting to see more game usually comes with the challenge of more tags / people. Is that part of the tradeoff you are willing...

    Arizona Lifetime Bonus Point-Online Course Review

    Moved to AZ 12 years ago, thought it was weird they didn't accept the previous states hunters ed cert for the point process. Back then required a field day as well. Finding open field days was very difficult. Was able to hit the Ben Avery Exp one year and AZGFD was doing field days & test...

    New Mexico Elk hunting Questions

    @Gila does the Hunting Rules & Info Booklet show the UW tags? Never saw it in there. Or how are you finding that out? I have always wondered where that is published at.
