I'll suffer through another wyoming elk season with few elk and lots of grizzly bears.
Really wish I could move somewhere else to elk hunt. Dang it, I hate to hear that, I'm coming up there this year. No elk down here, too many wolves.

From the emails I get from outfitters from WY I think WY may be the best place to go hunt elk.

Don’t know yet. Wifey may be ready to burn some points but has never used a muzzleloader. I think she should go for 1st season on a backcountry hunt with the goats. She wants do a high country early buck hunt. I’ve been eyeballing one of those too. Got a little more time to decide, unless I pull the trigger on Wyoming.

Ed, who you hunting with? Stone Mountain Safaris. Looks like a good outfitter in great country. My favorite part of the world! Should be a good opportunity to find an old mountain bull...

We're going to pass on elk this year and put all of our time and money into some serious sasquatch hunting. OK SASQUATCH HUNTING

What I'm sitting on for elk:
WYO - 13 pts
NV - 13 pts
UT - 12 pts
CO - 6 pts
Only state I could pull for sure would be a CO MZ tag. I don't have an good iron sighted setup and if I travelled, I'd have to find some BH-209 on the road, which would be a BIG risk. If a 'Fire member wanted to do a drop camp MZ elk hunt, I'd be game this year or next.
Probably won't put in for WYO. My son and I are thinking about horseback, guided in a wilderness area.
WIll apply for NV and UT as always. Apply for top units and get a guide if I draw - too old (59 next fall) to hunt solo.

Wyoming, Oregon and perhaps Washington if we are successful on the draws. We have lots of points, but lots of competition,for tags.

I'd like to say back home in my native CO since I have 22 preference points. But they PI$$ED me off with the fee increase and requiring me to buy a license I have no use for just to apply so I doubt I ever hunt that state again now that I am a resident of TX.

I don’t blame you! NR fees are high but somewhat in line with most Western states. Just buy an OTC bull tag or leftover cow tag and skip the SG license to qualify for the draw. Happy Trails
