    Idaho OTC NR sales time

    I was doing the same thing. I had a friend who I was trying to buy a tag for with me. Spent an hour and 45 also trying to get a diamond creek tag. Somehow got a tag in both carts on both computers. Got to the survey, website timed out. Got back into my cart to check out and by that time it was...

    Idaho OTC NR sales time

    Does anyone know what time the non resident OTC elk tags go on sale? The website just says December 1st. Wasn't sure if it was midnight or some other predetermined time.

    Montana rifle success

    So many people on here helped me with information and tips prior to my hunt and I just wanted to say thank you to all the regular and occasional contributors that help everyone out. Hunting the Montana rifle season is no joke. I have never hunted a state with so many dedicated hunters before...

    AZ 22 North late archery

    FWIW I hunted 22 for mule deer and coues in January. Didn't run into any elk where we were at but barnhardt road looked to have great access to get you back in pretty far in the center of the unit. There were plenty of pull offs for camping and the road was pretty well maintained.

    Arizona Archery Rut Hunt Unit 22

    It was probably my favorite hunt so far. We spent 2 days in coues country looking for mule deer. I am going to echo what Bigjay said. Those tiny toy deer did nothing for me. They're small, quick, and skiddish. We had no interest in them. On the 3rd day we ran in to a local who stopped to talk to...

    Montana....Everything But Elk

    I am headed out in 2 weeks for my first Montana rifle hunt. Hope your luck turns around in 2 days and you get on some elk. How's the weather out there? We'll be more to the south west and aside from temps its hard to figure out what the conditions are really like.

    SW Montana general rifle season

    Wow! That helps a lot. I never would have thought to call the local fish and game office to ask for which ranches don't allow hunting, genius! Also the four wheeler idea makes total sense I never thought about it being that cold and freezing your butt off on one of those then hiking in. That...

    SW Montana general rifle season

    I have a plan A (unit 328) has 2 areas I think we can get into between BM access and public roads. I am usually the hunt planner of the group so I like to have a plan B-Z in case we end up hitting too many hunters, roads that we thought were public to get to an area that aren't public, or road...

    SW Montana general rifle season

    Hello Everyone! I am headed to southwest Montana this year for the rifle general elk season. Between the "Gerber guys" Fresh Tracks episode and the 2nd most recent Elk Talk podcast I am well aware of the difficulty of the hunt. Big Fin has helped me set the groups expectations as...

    Montana hunting, seeking nonresidents thoughts and opinions

    Stealthy_bowman I am hoping to draw a combo tag this year, coming from south eastern PA. I was considering a short scouting trip out there. Did you fly in to scout?

    Hunting 2 states at the same time

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, I guess there's really only a few spots on the divide that would really be viable for a two tag hunt and I am sure with snow they might not be as easy as they look. I may put in for the late season tag in ID with the hopes that I tag out early in MT and then hop...

    Hunting 2 states at the same time

    I am planning a western Montana hunt this fall and we've narrowed down some of our options to a couple border units between Montana and Idaho. I was thinking about entering the late season draw in ID for one of the border units and getting back into some roadless areas on the border. If...

    My long term Elk plan

    I am from PA, my first western trip was to WY for antelope and mule deer rifle. 6 of us went for the first trip and we tagged out in 5 days. Lets just say i've been hooked ever since. Elk is obviously the ultimate for us eastern guys but don't sell yourself short on some good mule deer hunts in...

    MT BMA question

    I am planning a rifle elk hunt this fall to MT in the southwest, I have it narrowed down to a few HD 321,329,331 or 332. I was on the MT FWP website looking into BMA around those hunt districts and didn't realize how many BMAs there are some of them look really awesome for not just hunting on...

    Arizona point trick!

    That's why I come here to learn the Tricks! I do like the option of taking a week off the first week of Jan. and flying out to AZ for quick 5 day archery hunt if I can find the time. I'll keep this in mind though for the years I don't have any plans for doing that. Getting my vacation in Jan has...

    Arizona deer hunt info

    I just got back from doing an OTC hunt in 22 and 23, by far the best hunt I have ever done. I saw the biggest deer in my life and wasn't able to seal the deal. He was 80 yards when I was behind an agave bush and started moving towards me. Probably the most excited i've ever been in my life deer...

    Arizona Archery Rut Hunt Unit 22

    Hello everyone! The HuntTalk podcast struck me again. I was listening to last years AZ archery hunt again and it got me curious as to how cheap of a hunt could I make something like this happen for? Turns out flights from Philly to Phoenix were too cheap to pass up so I roped one of my regular...

    Idaho Wildland Fires

    Thanks for the info! I am flying into cold meadows at the end of the month, hoping it burns out quick or stays to the south or west. I am guessing anyone who was planning on hunting chamberlain will end up changing their plans to cold meadows. Maybe the fire will push some elk to the east.
