Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who’s going elk hunting this year?

I didn’t make it last year in Montana.

Might have to buy an out of state tag this year being I’m a North Dakotan again.

For sure. But deer will be the priority.

I drew a late season any bull tag in AZ. So yes I will be elk hunting this year.

Most states haven't had their LE draws yet - e.g. CO, NV & UT. Pretty much shooting for the moon on quality units & timeframes in NV and UT. Blew my points in WYO last fall on an outfitted wilderness hunt.

New Mexico
Archery
Land owner tag
Sept 9-15

I will, as per every year since 1979.

Thinking 5-6 tags in Wyoming, 1 in Montana for sure, maybe 2, if I get lucky maybe one in Nevada or Utah, but likely not.

Will help some friends and family too.

Always exciting this time of year with several dozen applications out for deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, sheep, goat, bison.

Mrs signed me up for a lottery yes there’s elk in Virginia 🤪

I plan to while I still can. The youngest can shoot a cow in a couple areas.

Have to draw a tag which in this State can be rather problematic.

Going to pass on trying for a tag in AZ. Long drive about killed me last year for a deer hunt, but then again I was working with a shoulder that needed surgery.

Depending on the unit, that can be some tough hunting. Those critters will have had people around since August from the antelope and archery hunts, not to mention they've been through the rut and many of them hole up in some tough areas to get to and also can be rather nocturnal after all the activity.

Good luck on your hunt.

An elk muzzleloader hunt in New Mexico in October.

Supposedly there is a huge game farm in ND that has elk, monster bulls too. 2k for a cow I heard.

Maybe this it.

I’ll be in Idaho, as per my normal.
I could pull some strings and get a WY general tag I am sure but that’s alright. Could certainly do the same in Montana if I really wanted to.

I have a busy enough fall already and still have a few states’s draws to go.

Viking: If this country is not burning to the ground from riots/civil war then I will be out there again.

If that’s your thing rock on, but something tells me you wouldn’t be as satisfied with the outcome as you think you’d be.

Will likely stick to Colorado this year. Will be hunting in the north central part of state, a chance I’ll be hunting the west central part too.

The drive is what kills me, sometimes 10-12 miles.

Oh great, another high fence hunt. This isn’t another one of Rulon Jones properties, is it?

Lol…….that and the dang cattle meandering down the road……
