When is prime time on a tank?

Don’t they issue like 20 tags for that hunt now?

I mean, can you fault someone who waited even longer for a rifle tag to be out there trying to find bulls for their hunt?

That’s what elk look like

But what tag is it? That might influence how much risk I would be willing to take.

If your daughter has a qualifying illness or condition or if she lost a parent who was a first responder you could transfer it to her through the charity.

Congrats Vincent. I think I bumped into you hunting with your buddy after you killed your bull.

Two weeks on the Bab in October. What a dream.

Yeah, probably. We were seeing new bulls everyday. The big bulls’ harems were growing as well.
Stupid cows kept changing the program and saving that suckers life. Oh well. Out of time.
Anyone know what pairs well with tag soup?

I’ve had some experience on hunts where bulls were rutting harder in mid October than late September.

I don’t know if it is a terrible rut or if it is just a late rut. Time will tell. It could still get really good for the rifle / muzzy / youth hunts.
I am hoping my daughters cow hunt is epic!

After 9 days chasing elk in tons of different terrain and weather, gotta say, there are my favorite boots ever. Good support, light, water proof, and super comfortable. Just have to be careful with vibrancy soles on wet rocks.

I’m sure glad all of these resources funded by license and tag sales are being used to keep trail cameras out of the woods. Seems like a prudent use of our conservation dollars. Thank goodness our wise commission created this rule so we could commit all of this effort to preventing anyone from taking a picture of a deer. I can definitely see how this makes an huge impact on wildlife conservation.

2025 JR Elk Hunts
in Elk Hunting
Posted · Report reply
Got it done before the storm came in today. Found a rut fest mid morning and the action was hot. Daughter got it done with 1 shot from 25 SST at 360 yds. Hunter was there helping, it’s hard to believe he’s nearly grown. Seems like yesterday he was following me around these same hills begging for snacks.
This one got me a feeling a little sentimental.
