Archery Elk shoulder blade shot
Of course it's a miss if you hit an elk in the should and most likely won't end well, but... I shot this bull a few years ago at 60 yards. Hit him right in the middle of the wide part of the scapula. Blew a quarter sized hole thru the bone and the arrow was a full pass thru. He never knew what... -
Wyo Special Apps are down in #’s
For NR tags the price should be set by the market demand like everything else. For resident tags the price should be set to a minimum amount offset by whatever they can get from the NRs. NR tags are a luxury! If you want a cheap elk tag in WY or any other state then move there like I did. It... -
Wyoming Elk - Where are you applying?
The funny part is going to be seeing all the guys putting in special thinking there will be improved odds, only to find out they could have drawn the same tag, with the same points in the regular. Too many guys with points, and too few tags for there to be any significant change in odds with the... -
WY GEN $2K Raghorns you shooting?
JFYI Wasn't that all that long ago when we could draw the general as a 2nd choice in the special. ;) -
Is 5 PP's going to be enough in the WY General Elk
Unless you apply in the new East zone, the the num Not a chance that min. points to draw in West or South are going to go down. Simple math. Just too many 4-7 point holders that realize a general tag is as good as they are ever going to draw. Maybe 25% of the guys drop out of the special, but... -
Idaho draw
Everyone I saw was an ID resident buying multiple tags for their out of state friends or family. It's a very flawed system. Whatever minimal revenue they are getting from the visitors does not justify the chit show joke. -
Idaho draw
It does not need to be complicated. Just make the NR tags random draw. No points, not all this BS. You can put in as a party. People can put in for their tags in an orderly manner and ensure that they can hunt with family if drawn. IDFG will still sell all the tags and also can get a little... -
Idaho draw
You had no chance at getting a good tag online unless you had a number under the first group they let in. Probably less than 100. Without mentioning zone names, the one I got for my son and I was sold out in less than 15 mins and there are a lot of tags. As of this year it is pointless to try... -
CO Muzzy VS Archery
That is kinda where my head is at :) Maybe I'm just hung up on wasting 17 years of applying on a hunt I should have just drawn 15 years ago, but that is my own fault and I will get over it. 😂 A backcountry archery hunt with my son will be worth it. Yeah, I'm going archery and will spend most... -
CO Muzzy VS Archery
Because of last years changes to the tag allocations in the high demand units I am throwing in the towel on the archery unit I was close to drawing before the change. Decided I want to just be done with CO and go on a hunt with my son. He has enough points to draw a mid tier archery tag. For me... -
Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?
Update: Finally was able to have a surgeon at Rebound go over my MRI and give me his opinion. It looks like the grade 2 ACL is actually the old ACL injury I had way back when I was 16. He thinks the recent acute issue is related to a meniscus tear I did while surfing down here. His opinion is to... -
Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?
That is kind of the plan. I've had a partially torn ACL for 36 years now and I knew it would not last forever. I think I'm going to try and get thru hunting season with a lot of PT and then bite the bullet and get a new ACL in the fall. I had this conversation with a surgeon about 10 years ago... -
Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?
Thanks for all the input. It's also not as simple as just choosing to get the surgery. As said I am in central america until May, or that was the plan. I sent the MRI to Rebound in Portland/Vancouver and hope to have a virtual consult on the 15th to go over it. At this point I am leaning on... -
Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?
One issue is I would be using 14 CO elk points to get a tag. Not sure I can roll those dice on recovery. One of the years I don't really have too many other tag options. OR general is probabaly the only one I bank on without throwing out a bunch of money and or points and then hoping. -
Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?
What a kick in the balls. I'm in central america and just had an MRI in which it showed a grade 2 ACL tear. I actually had an ACL surgery when I was 16 way back in 1986, so I knew this ACL would end up being an issue at some point in my life. I'm supposed to be down here until May. So now my...
