Free: Contests & Raffles.
I drew the early rifle tag last year, which is a good time to "see whats there". My hunt was totally different than yours will be, but If I had the late tag I would have access to a snowmobile. There is quite a bit of ground that will be closed off for driving that you can ride snowmobiles on to get to where you want to hunt. Don't be fooled, the elk are there. I spent almost every weekend scouting last year and saw few bulls until the rut neared. Then the switch came on. I guarantee there are bulls on the public ground. I went over in December last year just to see some bulls and there were very few on private property. It was a mild winter, but even with a heavy one, most of the private ground borders timber company land. I didnt shoot the biggest bull, but i did see some brutes scouting. I just couldnt restrain myself. I know my tag was a lot different but feel free to p.m. me if you need.
hey jackelope are you a kill expert since you have 10000 posts sounds like you are a bull shooter.
yea, seemed odd no 6's or larger for Muzz or archery with under 20% success combined... and 80% success with all 6pts or better w/ rifle. Very late snow or just the ability to close the gap at 2500fps!?! Going to work my ars off to fill this tag with a 6er and see if we can't put one in the archery column as well, can't let those rifle boys and girls completely thrash us! It seems like there are some real cool guys on here willing to help out...looking forward to returning the favor
