    How many years before you got your first bull?

    I killed my first bull on my second day ever elk hunting, a 300” 6x6. That was last year, we will find out this year if I was really lucky or I’m good at elk hunting. I’m leaning towards really lucky.....

    Archery Elk question from new elk hunter

    So I took my first elk trip last year. I'm a smidge younger (42) but had similar plans that you have. First day hiked in 7 miles to the "honey holes" I had e-scouted. Didn't find any elk and the trek kicked my butt. Ended up killing a 300" bull the 3rd day of the hunt a mile from the truck...

    Fusion Flex Fit Hat

    Anyone know a place that makes a flex fit hat in the FL fusion pattern? Checked BRO, Hush and EXO. Hate me a SnapBack but can’t seem to find anything fitted.

    Am I the only one?

    That’s a tough one. I have a bunch of hunting buddies but maybe 3 I would trust in the mountains. Of those 3, one’s wife won’t let him do anything, and the other one came with me last year but has 15 kids and a wife who won’t let him go this year. 3rd guy is coming with me this year. At...

    Cabelas Code

    How do you get the 10% off for card members? I’ve had a Cabela’s card for years but have never gotten a code for 10% off.

    Floorless shelter. Rattlesnakes. Idaho. New Mexico.

    Montana Party Application or Single? Your thoughts wanted.

    Does MT average points like WY does or does it go by the person with the lowest amount?

    Wyoming General Points for 2020?

    I thought I entered the game late getting started at 41. If I'm still chasing elk at 58 I will die a happy man. Props to you guys that realize its never too late to chase a dream and make it happen!!!

    Hunting truck rental

    Bumping this older thread back up. Does anyone know if any of the truck rental companies offer a truck cap as an option on their rentals?

    270 Ammo selection

    Nosler Partitions and Barnes TTSX shot best out of my .270. Shot last years elk at 250 yards with the Nosler and he stayed on his feet for about 15 seconds after the shot before tipping over. Any of those bullets will do just fine on whitetail. I used the Barnes I didn’t take elk hunting on...

    WY Draw Question

    Good deal, thanks for the info guys. Looks like the best option is to roll the dice and just apply for a general tag in the special and hope to get lucky in the random. According to gohunt odds were 25% last year, better than nothing.

    WY Draw Question

    So I hunted WY last year and have a big fat 0 pts for this year. I am still going to apply this year and hope for some luck in the random draw (provided my wife doesn't find out before I apply that WY is holding my money for 4 months...……..lol) With that said here's my question. If I list 3...

    Planning first hunt...research and questions.

    I don't have as much experience as most on here but I can give you my perspective from my first trip west.... I live about an hour from you (MD) and I'm 42 and in decent shape. Decided in 2018 I wanted to elk hunt in the fall of 2019. Really wanted to archery hunt but my one buddy talked me...

    Wyo General Rifle

    From my experience there are people on horses everywhere. Going further in on foot does not necessarily help. Have to find little pockets that people overlook or are hard to reach on horseback. There was definitely more people hunting during rifle season than I anticipated.

    Wyoming 2020 deadline

    I didn't realize WY sold leftover tags. Are those typically general tags that are not purchased by residents that are leftover?
