Yeah as a resident I have hunted otc elk and would rather hunt a general any bull unit in Utah and even more so OTC Colorado. Most of the success on those hunts you see on social media are due to access to private $$ or serious scout time with luck luck luck. Again just my experience but it is...
Seems like a long time if you can’t update your credit card information at this point. Hell Arizona gives you atleast 8hr prior hits to do so and their system sucks. If not tomorrow that post will probably hold true. Fun to be excited for disappointment 😁
I have a tendency to agree above. My buddy had the late tag last year and we scouted from September forward just to get an idea of access and hunting pressure throughout the seasons. It’s a huge unit and I have no doubt you will see/ hunt some big bulls
Hopefully you guys draw so you don’t have to have a backup. Additionally no matter what you guys do there is always a chance. Don’t forget about Wyoming left over if that’s even a consideration
I bet everyone sees this post hoping for someone to say results are posted. They will say “pending” no matter how many times you check until Mid to late this coming week. They did somewhat show a tag (if drawn) in the NMDFG app last year if you selected E-Tag option the night before they posted...
It’s not a bad hunt. I do think they issue WAY too many tags in that rifle season. Like posts previous it’s an opportunity hunt. Not a trophy hunt. I would definitely recommend using other units to glass into 22n.
I have a Swarovski STS 80 HD up for sale. Comes with case cover included in photo. Bought a new spotter so no longer need this one. Feel free to pm with any questions... $1800 obo. Add 3% PayPal,F&F, or Zelle..
I shot the 125 solid tips last year and they did great. Full pass through on the elk I shot. Easily sharpened the tip and used the same head on a late season deer. The only con is I missed and lost the arrow & head during a Javelina hunt this year. Broadheads perform great but if you loose it...
I would do take the trade. Clarity beats magnification hands down. I would rather have a new set of 10x42 ELs over vortex 15s, 12s,10s and even spotter combined. Now if they are the older ELs it would be a different story
