Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game where in the USA are you hoping to hunt this year

Colorado & Ohio. I've got a couple of fishing trips. 1 is a fly in walleye/pike---Ontario The 2nd is an AK trip for halibut & salmon.

As always, New Hampshire and Maine for grouse and deer; hopefully, for moose in Maine !

Just my usual deer and elk here in Montana.

I'm thinking of applying for antelope in a closer unit than I regularily go to for them, but the odds of drawing that tag are lower.

I apply for our big three (or 4 with buffalo) every year, but even with my maximum number of "bonus" points, squared, the odds of drawing one of those tags is less than the interest rates that banks pay on savings accounts.

On the bright side, I am booked for an Alberta moose hunt in September. I was schedualed to go last year but couldn't because of Canada's STUPID covid rules.

Colorado for elk with my son in September. This will be his first trip out west and for elk. Should be fun.
Putting in for Moose in a couple states and hunting deer in CT as usual.

Right here in Idaho.

Benezette Pa.

WY & SD

Yeah I'm hoping for that one too

I got the hunting fever bad this year. Brown/black bear this spring. On a list if someone cancels to fly out of fairbanks for moose. Might need to track down someone for that hunt if the pilot calls and a spot opens up. A long shot. If that doesn't pan out I will boat my 100 miles for a rainforest moose hunt. Got a pilot lined up for a goat hunt in the misty fjords. Need to nail down a buddy for that one too but it's difficult as it's totally weather dependent and most people have jobs. If I don't get that weather window I might boat 150+ miles and do a late season goat hunt. And lots and lots of deer hunting. Got rifle and gear ready. Want to get that new exo k4 pack.

New Mexico pronghorns 🤞

Am staying here in the northwest this year. Washington mostly, for birds, deer, elk and bear. Hope to get a friend of mine on his first bear. Idaho for spring bear! Looking forward to that. Already got to Oregon in January for cow elk. Might make it back to Oregon for some varmint shooting this spring as well.



GWB, looks like you've got your chunk of Texas pretty doggone well figured out!

Got drawn for Arizona bull elk. Don't know the dates just yet, it will be either the first or second week in December.

Congrats! That should be quite a hunt.

Yup!

Now the hard part is the waiting till December!

At my age, I’ll hopefully hunt right here in Western Kentucky.

Adding spring turkey at our place in E. WA next month.

Wyoming

Texas. Next week.

4-6 hunts in AZ for coues and mule deer, 1 AZ elk hunt, deer in NM, deer in CO, elk in ID, might get lucky in NV...

Black Bear, moose, ducks, and deer here. Probably Texas in November on some property my buddy bought just west of Rocksprings. Lots of different critters down there to shoot!
