That's sad. Not just for us sportsman but the herds as well. Good thing nature is resilient but a little help from weather and conservation goes a long way too.
Hopefully some of these states that are going through a dry spell get some good rain soon, not necessarily for us hunters but for the animals. It's a sad thing when diseases like blue tongue, EHD, etc, severely impact herds.
I put in and was drawn for a NR archery tag. It'll be my first time ever going after an antelope and am curious to hear more about what's going on with the numbers and also if anyone has any advice. I've looked around the forum and the general census I've gotten is set up on water or spot and...
Thank you sir. I appreciate the reinforcement of the idea of going with what you're familiar with vs relearning a new place. Starting over does seem like a big hill to climb, no pun intended, especially looking at some of the experiences I've already had. [emoji28]

Thanks much, certainly still learning. With that being said, I can certainly go with tactics. Being that my window will be quite short for getting out to CO, any suggestions or recommendations on time-frame to get out there and or the benefits of spike camping vs base camp? Appreciate the...
I appreciate the input. I that has crossed my mind and it makes sense to go with what your are familiar with vs trying to find a new area and familiarize yourself with that area, especially with time constraints. Thanks again!

I feel like extremely isolated spots are a kin to searching for a great white Buffalo. There are remot(ish) spots, but there's also a lot of access, if anyone wants remote in a sense that they won't run into another hunter its simply unlikely, unless, as referenced one seeks to go to Alaska or...
Well played sir. Forgive me, not trying to be passive aggressive but from the research I've done and viewing herd numbers/harvest data I believe 103, albeit closer, would likely yield no opportunity. Unless I am totally missing something, which there is always a possibility. Please feel free to...
So I'm currently planning to head to Colorado for the first week of archery elk season; I've been out twice before in unit 16 by lone pine and am hoping to do something different this year. I'm putting in the effort looking at historical data in OTC units, hunter numbers, etc., but am also...
No offense taken! I'll definitely do some looking elsewhere to avoid limiting myself. If there are strategies to improve my odds I will be all about that!
