Don't get me wrong here, I would love to take her with. But this will be my first elk hunt. I don't know what I'm doing and probably won't tag an elk. I just want to get my feet wet in the elk game and try to learn something to make it better the next time i go. I don't know if I want that...
Oh, I should mention that now her thought is that I should bring her elk hunting since i did draw my combo and she can get the youth tag to come with. Not sure what to do now.
Nope, unfortunately we did not. I'll be curious to see the detailed drawing stats when they come out. There must have been an increase in apps for this year. I checked for previous years and the 10% threshold for nr's was not met. Luck of the draw I guess...
Not as big of a deal around here. Public Land is limited, talk about a spot or not it will be found. But where I grouse hunt, I've never seen another hunter. I tell anyone that asks where I go. They don't believe me and think they should drive further north so I continue to hunt by myself...
Agreed! If that would have been me, the would never have received payment based on the fact I would have disappeared and my body would never be found! The arrogance of some people is amazing.
On another side of the argument, I don't understand why there isn't complete transparency for...
Good luck on the ewe! I thought about giving that a try but decided to wait a year. Did you have any points going in to the draw or was this your first year applying?
Just finished putting in apps for my daughter (14yo) and I for Montana antelope tags. First choice region 7, second choice unit 540. Only about 25% odds of pulling the 700 tag with no points as a nonresident. It looks like 540 had leftover tags every year, also looks like not a lot of public in...
Just picked up the MR Metcalf yesterday at Scheels in Fargo. Haven't put it to use yet of course but it's by far the nicest pack that's ever been on my back.
Thanks! Hopeful that it stays this way. I've been wanting to go west for years but just couldn't get the stars to line up. Finally got the ok from my wife and picked the first year that a draw actually meant something. What a kick in the rear! I'm just happy for the people that returned...

Hello all! I've been lurking on this forum for quite some time, figured it was time I joined in the fun. My name is Andy, I'm from west central Minnesota. I enjoy the style of hunting in the shows I've seen of bigfin. I've been doing it that way as long as I've been a hunter and it's much...
