    Bought my first montana preference point

    I know everyone’s preference must match, that was a given. Did you guys apply at all or no? We’re applying to satisfy Montana, but have a person who has zero points with us, so our average will not yield us a draw. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bought my first montana preference point

    I interpreted this as not be applicable to the same year application, but I see it is worded slightly different. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bought my first montana preference point

    The preference point purchase within the Montana application is post draw results from what I remember. I don’t remember being able to purchase a preference point as part of the application and apply it to that draw; it was only received if unsuccessful in the draw. Sent from my iPhone using...

    South Central Idaho

    That’s what I was worried about. Several trails in this area closed to dirt bikes on 8/29, but I figured there would be people not paying any attention (or care). There’s nothing that can keep Mountain Bikers out of those trails, but to be honest I was more thinking dirt bikes. Sent from my...

    Bought my first montana preference point

    He can elect a PP in the 2024 draw when he’s unsuccessful, but if he doesn’t select it during the draw in 2024, then he can’t buy one later. I’m at 2 PP, but our group went to ID this year to guarantee a tag. So this year we’re devising a plan on how to apply as a group in MT to satisfy the...

    South Central Idaho

    Would love to pick someone’s brain about some questions on hikers, dirt bikes, side by sides, and mountain bikers present during archery season around south central Idaho. I have some specific areas I’ve scoured, but don’t want to post publicly. If anyone is familiar with this area, shoot me a...

    CO Elk next week-what to expect

    I’d expect some different elk patterns due to the muzzleloader crew being in the woods. We had frost at 10,000ft on Sunday morning, and that day was the only day we saw elk. We didn’t hear any muzzleloader shots, but they certainly were wandering in trucks, ATV’s, or on horses depending where...

    That’s more of the plan - every 3yrs vs. every year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Elk Trip

    I’m referring to draw hunts which take 1-3 pts, like Wyoming Or Montana General Licenses. I’ll apply for LE licenses too, but I’d rather not deal with the flood of people in OTC units. It really takes the enjoyment out of the hunt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First Elk Trip

    Elk hunting can be humbling, that’s for sure. Yesterday I returned with my friend Tyler from (7) Days in an CO OTC adventure. We saw some beautiful country, hiked 50 miles, and saw one elk which happened to be a 5x5 bull. We experienced the pressure of numerous hunters in one area, the heat of...

    The effect of limited licenses on units that were once OTC

    Point creep. You will get more units which are harder to draw due to the number of folks just buying points. Sure, there will still be some 100% draw units at 0pts, but in general, there will be far less people out and about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Colorado Leftover First Come First Serve

    Logged in and it loaded me into the queue, but as soon as I had the tags in my cart the system booted me and made me login again. Tags were gone by then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WTS Hanwag Makra Combi GTX 10.5

    Just bought these used, and they’re too small. They really are in great shape, and show minimal wear. Asking $160 shipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bear Resistant Bags

    $5K is the fine. We all know that logic is the best approach it minimizing bear contact. However, I don’t want to spend $5K when I could get a sack that fits inside my pack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CO OTC tag vs WY no tag (and just tag along....)

    My buddy proposed a similar idea when we didn’t draw MT as he had an Idaho tag already. I respectfully declined. He’s in a different stage of his life, he’s also inexperienced at elk hunting. I also need to learn, but I am hunting in between years that my wife and I are planning on having kids...

    Bear Resistant Bags

    Great info! I do have some of the urethane coated haul line already. Figured hanging would be much easier with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
