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?

Not anymore according to the bison clinic last year

I really appreciate the offer! I will just keep my shots under 100 and use copper bullets. Probably the barnes for my 7 mag! Thank you! For copper what weight should I look for on the 7 mag

Gotcha. Why would the 7 mag be preferred over the 308?

Lol no. I didnt get a tag this year. Had 100 percent odds for an early archery cow according to last year. But my mother drew a 4b early archery cow with 0! So that's pretty great!

Usually itll happen through the week after CC hits. You'll see that mid this week on your portal you'll have a tag number. Then a few days after that you'll have a hunt number too

Same to you man!

Yesterday afternoon one of my parents got hit for elk with 0 points. 4b early archery bull or early archery cow for the same unit

Usually for any of the other draws itll happen throughout the whole day after the deadline. Not just the morning. sometimes my cards are hit in the evening sometimes right at 8 or 9 am

Tuesday March 1st is the official deadline to update your cards

I do a lotta doordash on the side. It's pretty nice! A lot of the income depends on your tips vs the cost of your gas and car maintenance too. If you have a gas guzzler it isnt worth much of your time. But when I do it, after gas and maintenance costs I would make about 80$ in 3 hours on a regular basis

I used to shoot left handed because I was left handed in everything else. But I am right eye dominate and switched to right handed. I have been better since. But maybe it depends on the person too

I believe that deer was poached. Dude who got it was connected to a bunch of other poachings too

I know some outfitters have thier own areas of private land too. Pretty crazy stuff! Couldnt imagine having that kinda money for just hunting alone

Just wanted to get an update out on this trip. Just got back home. Saw over 60 deer on this trip including 4 bucks. One was a 3x4 but couldnt get a shot. Saw a huge 7 point elk with the other antler broken off the main beam. Saw lots of yotes, pronghorn, and even 2 moutain lions. Went 0-2 on tags. I didn't have any issues with other hunters being crowded. Very fun just couldnt get a deer to take a dirt nap! If you need any info on the late elk hunts in unit 9 PM me! I have found some good spots/sanctuaries

Very nice bucks! Looks like a fun trip with lots of unforgettable memories! That's what it's all about man!

Please make a story thread after the hunt! Sounds freaking cool!

Scout up high in the forest around jacob lake. High elevations. The deer havent began their migration down into the lower country. Good luck I had the late tag there last year

Yeah I still hear them going up near William's in 7W. Almost hit one the other night chasing some cows across the highway. Nice 6x6. They are still bugling. Should snow this Tuesday so maybe that'll put it to a halt soon. Will be super windy on Monday with the cold front coming in too

Those pics didnt do it justice. Those backs alone looked like they were almost 2 feet long!
