Hell yes! That’s my exact next gun with a Leupold Mark 5HD 7-36x56. Beautiful elk gun. Of course I have an area with the spots to sit to put it to good use. You don’t just carry that around like a blind squirrel looking for a random nut. Lol
I have friends in Wheatland. I rarely visit because there’s just nothing to do around there. It’s a really boring area. Unless you’re really into flying kites! Lol
2 will be enough to do your part. 3 of us will punch 3 tags to help maintain the Pa average.
I’ve done my share of outfitting and guiding. My clients from Pa were always great hunters. Same goes for Michigan. I wouldn’t want to be a bull bedded down on a mountain and see a bunch of...
If someone has first hand experience and as a result posts a negative review I would think you’d want to know about any problems in advance. That being said the Sheridan area is very nice. Great deer hunting! Good luck!
People need to stop and think about the reason why our opportunities are shrinking. It’s because there are so many of us! Back before the internet our only source of information was reading stories from Jim Zumbo (who’s that you ask?) or stuff in Petersens and we didn’t have these problems. You...
26 hours from Pa. I’ve done it all. Never stopped halfway…. Closer to 3/4 of the way to make day 2 easy and to start setting camp at a decent time. I flew out once and had a partner pick me up. That was nice!
I’ve shut my eyes for 2 hours at a rest area then kept going. Two of us have driven...
They had the ability to apply for and draw those tags before they became leftovers. The reason they are leftovers is because residents didn’t apply for them.
When I’m going to a new area I try to see it as if it was a different area that I know really well. If the main ridge runs north/south I’ll think of a similar area that I’m familiar with and use it as a template to try to make an educated guess at where the elk might be. Elk habits can vary from...
It’s about mid August. I hope you’ve narrowed down a plan. Get yourself some topo maps, pick 2-3 spots and hunt them. And contact Wyohunth! That’s exactly what you need.
If you have to go that far to find elk you’re spending too much time getting in shape . You’d be better served to learn your area better. I guarantee there are elk within 2 miles of the road and most likely less.
