Title: Almost ... UTAH and WY elk app time.
Post by: Craig on December 11, 2008, 10:21:44 PM: Application season starts Just around the corner. Anyone putting in for Utah and/or Wyoming elk?

I'm going to put in for a late season elk hunt in utah. Only have 5 or 6 points so real long draw odds for that one.

going to put in for a good elk unit in Wyoming. I have max points but still less then 10% draw odds.

Not really expecting to draw either tag but it is fun dreaming.

Good luck to everyone that applies.

deer season, and I have my Wyoming 2009 application I got in the mail waiting at home for me!

Post by: big_bucks on December 15, 2008, 10:07:25 PM: I'm sitting here trying to figure out which unit to hunt in CO next year. Got max points in WY and half a dozen deer points in UT which means I've got about 10 more years before I draw the tag I want.

My wife saw me and was yelling at me b/c I just got back from Kansas last week and was already planning next years hunts. She just doesn't understand. . .

Post by: big_bucks on December 15, 2008, 10:28:23 PM: You fire off enough apps and you'll get a tag somewhere. I think I'll just take a point in WY until I figure out where I want to go.

Post by: boneaddict on December 16, 2008, 05:28:53 AM: I am probably not going to apply for Wyoming this year. Going to cut back a bit. Utah is just a pipe dream but too much invested there to give up.

Post by: big_bucks on December 18, 2008, 07:24:07 PM: I need to get my license soon. I'm gonna be in phx next week but probably can't get an 09 license yet. I hate putting my license fee in with every envelope. They have the DUMBEST application process. They keep changing it wich makes it even worse.

Post by: Elkstuffer on December 18, 2008, 10:48:40 PM: big_bucks, you need to arrange to take the hunter ed couse while you're there and get your permanent bonus point. It could mean the difference between drawing and not. Plus after you draw you still have a point. I agree with you about there system. It keeps getting worse every year.

Post by: big_bucks on December 24, 2008, 06:05:14 PM: I'll hit it up before I apply this year. I've got at least one more trip down there as I've got to pick up some meat.

Post by: big_bucks on December 30, 2008, 09:26:15 PM: Wyoming might be another points only for deer this year. I'm going to draw a 2nd choice deer unit in CO and keep building points.
