That's the plan! Thank you!

That's sick man. I was looking into those but for now I don't feel too comfortable hunting that late due too the snow. I still have my little 2wd ranger. Maybe it'll get me on the main roads but sometimes the snow can get rough really fast. I'd hate to be stuck out there after a storm goes in. I have been saving for like an XJ or a 3rd Gen 4runner. After that I would like to start doing those late rifle tags. Odds seem to be a bit better!

Yeah I was thinking about using a hotel. I don't have good enough camping supplies to really keep me warm if an early front or storm came in. I have been doing research on some of the units. I just kinda figured that imma put in for some harder tags like early archery elk and the kaibab mule deer tags, while I wait imma use this year to start kinda doing photography so I can learn about these animals without hunting them. Maybe I'll get better at stalking them I'm the long run too. I'm about 5-7 years away from the unit I wanna hunt. So I figured I'll learn a lot in that time

Who all is going to 36a? Me and my buddy are going there Wednesday night to setup camp. If anyone wants to join us and combine camps lmk. If not good luck guys!

Sounds good! Thank you! I keep looking into it more and more, and it kinda sounds like it might have to be a next year trip

That's awesome dude. Congrats man!

Geez. That helps me make my decision

That's awesome! If I get drawn imma prolly end up shooting the first bull I get the opportunity to shoot. I'm trying to kinda narrow down areas I wanna hunt. Try to scout it a little before the draw. At least learn the roads

Dang thats crazy man. I was on an early cow hunt with my mom this last season. It was fun calling the Bulls in. I found a nice pocket in 4b with pleanty of elk. Would you recommend a cow tag for early archery? Would that be a waste of 3 points or should I just keep going all in on bull tags?

Gotcha. I got to go to a lotta good units during the rut the last few years. Called in Bulls almost everyday. Freaking insane!

Lol was it that bad?

Me too. I'll let you know what I find for mule deer!

Monsters at red butte. Found this giant near the trailhead. Here is a 234 casing for reference. It's not easy to find bucks. The east side is packed with hunters. Go far west. Less hunters. Only ran into 5 groups on the opening weekend over there. It's a hard hunt. All groups I talked too didn't even see any deer at all. I only saw one truck with a buck in the back. It was a 3x3

I had the tag last year. Saw about 20-30 deer a day and saw maybe 3 bucks. Most deer activity was near the park boundary and near the reservation boundary in the north west portion of the unit. They would run to the closest water source during the first 15 minutes of light or in the last 15 minutes of light each day. Then they would run right back to safety. Deer density is really bad. I had 5 scouting trips and had only seen 4 bucks between all those trips before the hunt. Good luck

Me and my buddy drew 36a early rifle coues. My dad drew 37b first rifle any antler with 0 pts

Gonna go on my first rifle coues deer hunt this year. Wanted to see what kinda season seems best. What are the pros and cons of each one? The units I am looking at are the 36's and I think 34b for a 2nd choice (garunteed draw) with 2pts. Any advice for weather scouting maybe road conditions and gear advice. Thank you!

Sounds great. I'll have to try that out then!

That is one unit I am really looking at. I'll have to take you up on that offer if I draw a tag! Thank you!

Sounds good! I never had quail before. Is it that good? Anything like dove?

Sounds good. I wanna learn a unit and go each year!

Gotcha. Thank you guys!

My brother drew a cow bison tag for this august over on the North Rim. Wanted to get a few tips from the handful of members who also had this hunt on round selection. We have a low budget so buying a 45-70 would not be ideal. Especially since it's a once in a life time bag limit. So I was wondering what some of you guys used on your hunts. I have a 7 mag and a 308 so if those are proficient enough what kinda bullets should I look to use. If you have any other calibers that would be feasible too? Thank you!

I went in a week ago. Used almost everything I had. Went for 5 hours had about 20 fish total. Most of the bites I had were off a 10 inch worm texas rigged. Kept it around 30-35 ft deep. All in the Windy Hill area around that island

Sounds great! Thank you very much!

This was the only barnes 7 mag ammo I could find that was still in stock on the internet. Bass pro and any other store near me doesn't have any others either. Would these guys work?
