Went out today and hiked like 3 miles with calling. Saw only 2 Tom's. Nothing was talking back this time

I was there a month ago and around Porter Moutain Rd and was seeing plenty of Jake's running around. I'll keep yall updated after I get back. Maybe I'll get lucky and find some sheds too!

Does anyone have an update on Tom's starting to gobble? Imma head up north in 3b on Sunday just to call and try to get some photography of them

I haven't been in the unit a whole lot but I see plenty around silver city. I find some deer along the 180 just northwest of silver city. Not sure if there is any better areas though

I know that's at horseshoe but where exactly can I go under the dam like that? Looks pretty cool!

I haven't heard of that. How did pesticide get into there?

Elk are everywhere in the pines. If you stick to the main 300 road you'll see plenty just along that road. Some areas you can hike into. But not very much. Fun area though!

Last couple of years I have been using a single reed rocky moutain elk call for making cow sounds, bugles, chuckles, and a few other noises. Works just fine for me. Had a few come right up as late as Oct 10th last year. Start with a single and learn then go from there. You'll find what works best for the size of the call, how many reeds etc. It's more about what fits your mouth when you call not just the quality and brand too. But those can also help also

Probably really bad this year with people who just buy points on the side. Good moisture year and really good early archery dates to add on probably allowed some of those people to hop onto that hunt with more points

Lol nice!

Just outta curiosity how many points?

When do yall think they'll hit cards this year?

You may need more for this year man. Lots of people probably been waiting for years for good moisture so if it stays this good some of the guys who have just been buying points may go in and push the BP round up by a few

Probably the cow hunt then. Drew in the bonus pass. Congrats!

How many points?

Lol no. Points for when I wanna cool hunt in the future

Congrats man! I'll be helping my buddy this year. I've been lucky enough in the past

Not sure. Probably just piecing together bit by bit to make sure it is right. Etag just got done. I'm sure throughout Monday they'll post up hunt numbers and be done by Tuesday and call it official

That's what I am using my fiancé for right now lol

Open your portal. Go to your apps. Click view details on the right of your elk app. Then scroll to the right to find the tag number

That's weird. The only hunts that I know hit the 3rd choice are some late archery cow. Most the time they are covered up too. Lucky you though!

Good luck. You must've taken my tag. My buddy got a tag too. Nit sure if it's cow or bull

Sometimes if you check your portal. You might get the tag number early, and deping on the hunts you put in for you might know based off that number

My buddy does archery lope hunts. He has a 1 pin sight. Also he will use that goofy pronghorn hat to trick their sight. Not sure if that's really needed. But he likes it. Knee pads are a must plus whatever protection you can get. Get used to crawling for a distance with a bow too. Also get used to duck walking If it's dry water water water. Good luck!

In this case I hope so. Maybe we will get another dump of hits tomorrow
