Good luck to everyone headed out next week. I'll get to pack a rifle looking for deer 3rd as well.

I've had my regular 2nd season guys here this last week. They had a heck of a season. 4 out of 6 elk including a bull, 2 for 2 bucks, one cull and one headed to the taxidermist.







Frank was new this year. He got his cow early but waited on his buck as everyone told him to. I tell everyone to wait, but Frank actually did. It paid off for him.

Good luck again. Looks like we might get a little weather to make things interesting.

Good luck to you!

I saw some boys cleaning a heck of a bull in that stretch a few days ago- right on the highway!

I thought it was a vehicle strike, but no. They shot it on public land about 1/2 mile from highway. It ran, jumped the fence, and piled up on the shoulder of the highway! Warden and State Troopsers showed up, and everything checked out. We helped them drag it a safe distace off the road, and they got to work.

A really thick 6x7. Just goes to show, you never know where them suckers are roaming!

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you'll know exactly where we'll be since I booked this based on your recommendation.

I was hoping you could give some advice on our area.

Yessir.

I can tell you which camp. You want to do this by email?

Sure, email definitely best. My username @ gmail

I know he has been on some nice bulls this year, I've seen a couple nice pictures. But everyone has had their ups and downs this year, it's been an odd odd year in some ways.

I finished my hunting in New Mexico this year, so that has dominated most of my scouting the past several weeks. it's been a few weeks since I've been in most of our local areas. Will happily pass along whatever I can, though.

You are in very good hands, trust the guys at SJO. I hope to be trusting them with a giant black powder muley, if I draw it next year will be relying on SJO myself.

After 17 full days hunting and 3 30 hour round trips from tx to Wy I shot this bull the last morning I could hunt.

Took me 9.5 hours to clean and pack it out solo today.

If its SJO that hunts north of US 160 and east of Vallecito Res....tell them boys to do a better job hiding their outfitter tents/camps! Making it too easy on us DIY guys to locate on GE where the guide pressure will be, and adjust accordingly.

Awesome work, man! I'd likely end up divorced if I spent that much time out of state hunting.

I saw that! We're going just north of Gunnison, doesn't look like as much precipitation for us, but those temperatures are catching my eye...

When does 2018 guide come out/where can I get it? Looked at applying for a pref point online but all i see is 2017 listed- is it open yet or am I just navigating to the wrong area of the webstie? https://www.cpwshop.com/purchaseprivilege.page

CPW is in the process of revamping the entire web site/purchasing system for everything. Don't bother looking for anything for at least another week. There are major changes coming for 2018. The application process will be very different.

Usually the reg book comes out in early February.

Weird, this popped up like there was new posts, but it actually looks like posts were deleted.

And now that I posted, the new posts show up.
