Drop us some pins on them elks you see up there
Well, I'll drop a pin right where he drops after I kill him bc I'll have an OTC tag in my pocket. Gonna concentrate on deer the first week, then head back up the last week of the arch season for lazer focus on elk.shaynew1 said:Lungblood said:

I already had my archery high country muley and elk tags in the crock pot... guess it's back to holding my breath again.
Draw Results are back in and finalized... appear to be anyway. Hopefully the corrections didn't hurt anyone- maybe even helped someone! Would be wise to check again
As of now, I appear to be able to prowl the high mountains with both early season elk and mule deer archery tags in my pocket. I'm especially excited about that mule deer tag, as I've never had an opportunity to hunt a muley, and I live only a few miles from the continental divide!
Then, in October my father and I got SUPER lucky and both drew bull tags for the early season muzzloader in a perium unit in Gilla Mountains of New Mexico.
I'll wrap up with a trip to our family ranch in TX in November to chase whitetails.
Gonna be a busy year!

I will be going to see BradMtn346 with an any season, any legal weapon, private land cow tag in my pocket. I am now officially in no-man's-land with 7 points. Too many to waste and too few to draw for the big boys.
stdeb,
How much are ya looking to get out of the pack? A new pack is kinda lower on my priority list, but definitely interested.

I'm jealous of you guys. Not because I didn't draw, but because I only put in for points because I'm unable to go this fall.
I do plan on being in AZ hunting muleys in January though.

I know I'll end up OTC elk though if the Wyoming deer doesn't work out. But I want a muley. Badly!

The buck I sailed one over in 2015 could/should be pushing 180 by now. Drool.
I drew a 3rd rifle mule deer tag for 39/46 and a cow elk tag for 46. This will be my first real western hunt, and I'm pumped.
Awesome Lung! We are same unit same season same tags
Email sent! Thanks

I'm going up the second week of July. I just got to figure out where I want to go.
I'm going up the 3 and 5th weekends of July. I'm just not counting those trips.
We have a "week in the Rockies" auction that I go to about every other year w my wife. She can't go, so I'm going to work a couple days then head into the hills.
And write it off.

Probably need to get some footage of you gettin trucked by an 800# steer to make it legal.
I would love to have footage of that. I've had some heroic encounters. I have had some of them bad ones too.
I'll be doing a lot of scouting this summer, but it's a much closer drive for me! I see many evenings after work perched on a hilltop or bench in my near future
In 2 weeks I'll be spending some time cutting trails for drop camps to the Weminuche.
First week of July I'm going to spend a couple days fishing/scouting as close to a certain headwater as I can get. Hopefully will find some promising prospects.
I'll hit it much harder in September

I'd love to hear any tips or suggestions about the sheep creek camp if you clear to that one.
Will do. Are you doing a drop camp with SJO?
Yep. Third rifle.
Shot 250 at the shoot in Waco today. I'm ready.
...for an elk at 12 yards.

Picture of a pig head, on a stick... Or it don't count.
Got a dozen old bear two blades in the mail yesterday...it's coming.
I'll let you know if I end up there. A ton can change between summer and 3rd R in that compartment. Justin will get you squared away for sure. The only thing I can say right now is be in the best shape you possibly can be- there is some stuff up there that can push you for sure.
I'm a big boy and need to lose weight, but I've been working out since March.
We actually chose to go with Justin because it's 2000' less altitude and based on the topos not near as demanding as where I hunted last year. Most importantly it doesn't look like thick downed timber. I killed my bull north of 11,000' last year and it took 3 hours to that ridge every day.
Having said all that, I plan to be in better shape than I was for my hunt last year. Ursus can attest what I give up in physic, I make up with lack of sense and thick headed determination. Even though I don't think it was meant that way, I took it as a compliment when the wranglers said I was the only hunter they had known to be dumb enough to go kill a bull where I did.

Ironically, that was one of the first things Richard mentioned when they came to get us....my elk was quartered, and boned out behind the tent. For that they were thankful. "I thought we were going to f---- kill ourselves getting your buddy's bull out"---that was Frank.
It only preceded, "Uhhh, just want to let y'all know the trail is mostly frozen and really bad right now, I think we're going to talk down the first quarter mile of the dropoff".

September feels no closer.
Missed one.
Shot four. Two were pretty gnarly. Three should be recoverable.
Tomorrow there will be pictures.
