Hey guys and girls,
I have a elk hunting trip planned in the pioneer zone this September (13th to 29th). Right now I plan on packing 150g merino t-shirt, pair of shorts, 190g merino pant and long sleeve base layer, 230g merino pant and long sleeve base layer, firstlite corrugate guide pant and...
Hey guys and gals,
Originally I have been planning an elk hunt in the Lolo Elk zone. After talking to a quite a few people, I’m starting to get the idea that I chose the wrong zone. Ive been told I’d be very lucky to see an elk in the lolo zone. So I’ve gone back to the drawing board and like...
Tags are bought already so i guess it is what it is. Ive been chatting with the biologists in the area and they've told me that if were willing to put in the work we'll do fine. Even if we don't get anything we will still have a good time
Hey guys,
I appreciate all the input. After discussing with my hunting partners and a couple wardens we decided on the lolo elk zone. We understand the elk have been hit hard by the wolf population but have heard it is starting to make its way back. (Obviously not near what it used to be) We...
Hey guys,
I've been taking the information you have passed on and have been doing a lot of research on the areas suggested. I really like the looks of Unit 22 and 32 (Weiser Elk Zone) seems to have good success rates and less hunters then other zones. I still like the looks of the 36's but...
Hey Guys,
Last year around this time I had joined this forum to get some info on non resident mule deer and elk hunting. I was supposed to be going with my youngest brother and Uncle but had to cancel last minute due to family emergencies. I received a lot of positive feedback and help...
Well with all the advice from everyone on this forum and a few others we have the trip planned. We're going a little different route with the style of hunt we initially had. We will be staying at Waters Edge RV park in north fork (used to be called Josephines) we booked for a week second week of...
Thanks Hannibal. This was pretty refreshing to hear. I have been confused, frustrated and overwhelmed trying to figure out where to go. I will take your advice and that of other members and just enjoy it like you say. I continue to look at pictures and watch videos and I cant wait to make it...
Does anyone have any experiences in 21A for mule deer. I cant seem to find anything on 21A regarding mule deer just elk. I've searched google and other forums such as eastmans, rokslide, biggamehunting.net, and few more and none of them have anything really on 21A.
The harvest stats on 21A seem...
We have TONS of 'road hunters' here in Alberta, which is why I tend to stick to archery tackle. Does anyone have any experience with unit 21A and unit 30. 21A seems to have a decent success rate.
I've also read that some units have excessive OHV traffic are there any areas in particular I...
Thanks everyone for the help. I sat down with my brother and showed him what I had all planned out and he never bothered telling me two months ago when I started planning the trip that his final intake for schooling starts October, so it looks like I might start from scratch and we will all be...
Hey guys, happy new years. My trip planning came to a halt over the holidays. Things are always hectic that time of year. But anyways I am back at work and I have continued my research the past few weeks. I'm really liking unit 36, 36A & 36B. I also really liked 39 but it seems everywhere I read...
So far I've narrowed it down to 5 units, 35, 36, 39, 43 and 48. I have read some good things on these units. I'm leaning towards 39 just because I've read on other forums and reports that most OTC zones get pounded hard by road hunters, unless you're willing to backpack and get away from any...
That's what I read on another forum. I have frank church crossed of the list with a few more added. I'll continue my research. I really appreciate everyone's input and tips. My other brother called me crazy for planning this early but i'm happy I started now. I want it to be a fun trip plus...
Hahah ill take that, If you guys own us could you possibly find a way to get rid of our PM Mr. Trudeau??
We are going to put in for controlled hunts like suggested in earlier posts. If not drawn, we would just get a general tag. I seen the season for unit 48 and 49 are open mid to end October...
Thanks for the replies. I've been looking into ketchum and also the panhandle/Coeur d'Alene units. I've also read that the frank church wilderness is good too but you need a plane or boat to get in there. Is there a place I can order maps? Also was wondering if any of these units have rivers or...
Hey everyone,
I'm new to this forum. I joined up hoping to get a little advice on planning a mule deer hunt in idaho. I spoke with Idaho fish and game today and was surprised to learn I can get an over the counter mule deer tag even though I live in Alberta.
Next year my kid brother will get...
