    Nevada draw system

    I hear ya on the draw odds, but with the quality, limited tag numbers and long seasons it’s hard to pass up as a serious western hunter. Sure is nice when you do get lucky. I am sitting on 16 points for elk, deer, desert sheep, antelope and now 0 for Cali Bighorn where I previously had 11. It...

    Wyoming Random Draw Is No More?

    Similar as others. I gave it up two years ago when these changes went into effect and walked away with 15 moose points. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    NM Landowner Cow Tags

    Not saying people don’t get scammed but It’s pretty easy to validate they have the tags as NMGF publishes all the info on who has landowner tags by species and in each unit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Idaho Disabled Veteran Non Resident Questions

    Some good info above and am happy to say I have utilized the Idaho DAV benefits as a NR for licenses and tags. As the demand for tags exploded, a few years ago Idaho limited the number of DAV tags for deer and elk. Now it is basically the first in line until that limit is met and for the past...

    New Mexico Elk Draw 2024

    It will be a few days after they send the email about wild game recipes or something about stocking trout. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Arrows

    I think there is a balance in the middle for elk and most shot opportunities and I avoid the extremes when it comes to light and fast vs slow and heavy. I like that 270-280 fps range as it gives me a comfortable and forgiving balance between arrow trajectory and good broadhead flight for the...

    Official Montana 2024 Draw Thread

    I think that is a great idea and believe you can have a great time with one tag holder. Then next year do it all over again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Bighorn Sheep Tag Process

    This is how I would approach it. Make a list of every state that has an opportunity for you to get a tag and add up the number of tags that would be available to you either as a resident or NR. This information is available in the states websites. Then determine the cost to apply - app fee...

    Is he too young?

    Put him in. Those are opportunities you will never get back even if you do draw and he doesn’t get a sheep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aging a Broomed Ram in the Rain

    No expert here, just a guy who keeps dreaming of hunting sheep. I would be surprised if he is much over 155 because his length seems pretty short. He does come high off his forehead but doesn’t have the drop anywhere near his jaw line. Since he is broomed he will pick up some in the...

    WY general tag vs. NM

    Congrats on the tags and your luck. I would be interested in hearing what tags you have drawn, not to get in on them but just to see how your draw strategy compares to mine. Growing up in NM I now tend to apply for the better units and units I know pretty well. I typically have had an elk tag in...

    Base-layer Recommendations for Nevada Archery Mule Deer

    I wasn’t deer hunting but had a sheep tag that started Sept 1 and the key was layering. My go to base later was a light merino t with a light long sleeve quarter zip over. Both FL, I just happen to live their base layers. This served as both as a little warming layer when cool and protection...
