Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who’s going elk hunting this year?

Your life must be pretty bad- to get on here and constantly and say negative things about members here. Seek help- maybe you can get medication that will brighten your mood.

Does the truth hurt your feelings?

P.s. I just got back from Arkansas. What a schiethole. I had no idea Bentonville wanted to be Austin so desperately.

It's becoming clear that you probably have never seen an elk.

That's the plan but often times getting the tag is the hardest part of the hunt.

If I'm still breathing I'm going. Drew a bull tag last year so it will be Archery for me but that's fine. See if I can make it an even dozen with the bow.

Bud drew early rifle AZ 27...

Me just the MT general tag.

Good luck y'all.

Will be putting in for a LQ tag but probably just go buy a OTC tag for a bull and a hand full of cow tags now that we have unlimited cow elk licenses for area we hunt.
Might try to fill a cow tag in Sept this year, maybe late Aug if we get time and weather is favorable.
Thankfully we can just go buy a license OTC if we need to, if we don't draw a LQ tag.

I will sure try. Coming up on 81 years old. I have only missed two seasons since 1966. Hopefully Colorado will take pity on me and send me a ML cow elk tag.

I tagged a cow elk last year. Don't know how many more I can do.

I just got my refund from NM.. no luck.
Still in the draw for WY.
Going OTC in CO as the back-up.

Good luck!

Absolutely! Going back to New Mexico in December for a late season cow hunt on private ground.

Always go, if I don't get the draw I want, I will go OTC. Hoping for my draw, but no points, so likely I will be in the Cascades, hunting the high country.

I picked up a rather nice pre-64 Model 70 a couple of weeks back. I let my oldest talk me out of it. I think in a one in a lifetime grail rifle for some folks. I’m sure it will be making the trip if se decide to go.

I’m thinking it might have been unfired. If it had, wasn’t shot much. Came with original box

Need more info on the rifle along with some picture, Kaywoodie.

Thanks!

Sorry this is best pic I have



He stuck a old straight 6x Leupold on it. It’s pretty nice. Has one gun shop off the rack scratch on left side of butt where they had it with other rifles out on the rack. Gunshop guy said it didn’t have a scope on it so it wasn’t worth as much as a rifle with scope. (No schidt! His exact words!).

My boy and I are putting in to try to draw another tag. We're decided whether to try our luck on a bull tag or go for the easier to draw cow tag. Of we draw either tag in our preferred area our odds of getting one are excellent. Everytime I've draw one of those tags I've filled it.

Good grief! Why can't I find gunshop guys like that!
