Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Pandemic...Has it affected your 2020 hunting plans

New to the forum so I apologize if this has already been discussed. I was set to go on a Montana elk hunt this year and the outfitter I was going with has postponed the hunt until 2021 due to the current pandemic. Have any others here had their hunts postponed or canceled do to the pandemic? If you were using an outfitter, what was the outcome.

Nope

I believe you postponed your hunt. Montana isn't stopping you.

No, the outfitter is.

What outfitter? That's a new one on me, first time I've heard of a Scam-Demic cancellation.

This pandemic may open up a great opportunity to go to Newfoundland moose hunting.

As there will be no US sports going this year, the prices are VERY good and the hunting pressure VERY low.It's only a skip from here to the ferry so an easy thing to do IF I can wrangle the time off work. The outfitter I talked to last night likes mid Sept to mid Oct for calling. It may just happen yet.

No

No staying in state this year.

Did you ask him to give you more detail? Like is he worried about catching the virus?

No

The Colorado ranch where I have hunted for the last 20+ years is not hosting the usual gang this year. The last word that I had was that there will be no elk hunting this fall.

No, I'm still going to hunt my own property.

I had an Axis Deer hunt booked for Hawaii in April. It was cancelled, and the outfitter refunded my down payment money.

Montana closed the spring bear and turkey season to non residents so I didn’t make the trip.

Still No

Not me but a friend had a African safari planned for next year. The head guide has been stuck here in the states sense the virus hit. They won’t let him go home. The hunt is supposed to be with some of the higher up guys in the RMEF and they claim that organization is hurting and has been laying off employed. Lots of there money comes from banquets across the country. They usaully have around 170 banquets a year and this have only had 3-4.right now his hunt has been rescheduled to 2022.

Did this spring when Ftcky got shut down a month for turkey.

But that also equates into that amount of Toms aging 1 more yr for spring 2021.

The 12 inch beard barrier might finally happen for me.

Dunno......


I need to check and see if they got 21 and 41 dove fields going on.

Probably not....

.gov workers , C19 excuse to do less for same pay schitt....

Need ta take a cruise in the back 40 .
Check out cut corn fields.

They allow dove hunting on em also cause of regular farming practice and methods.

Them cut corn fields can get really active with doves on em.

so far i'm still on for a kansas pheasant hunt and a south texas nilgai hunt. no word on cancellations to date. i cancelled an elk hunt in colorado a few months ago.

The question was hunting, but no Canadian fishing for me this year.

I may take an extra two deer, just to stock up on pure, organic venison.
