Yep, my brother and I headed back to our old elk stomping grounds.  I have the bow I will shoot.  I have the arrows and broadheads I will shoot.  I have the clothes, boots, backpack, camping gear, calls etc......I will have to keep working out, but I have been for a while.  I know I could go today and be OK.  It will just be more fun if I am in better shape.

 What part of Wyoming are you headed to? We do all our hunting between Douglas & Casper area's.

Congrats Dave!!! Max points but no draw for me. Make sure to take lots of pics so you can share the hunt with us!

[Dave Pagel]

Dan,

Were you going for one of the limited draw areas or a General?  I think I only had one point.

D.P.

[DanDaMan]

What area you plan on huntin?  My buddy missed his draw, but I am resident so I can get a general anytime.

[bohuntr]

Dave I applied for a limited draw area that only has a very few non resident tags available so it really is not that big of a surprise that I didn't draw. I am going to have to check with WY game and fish to see how many applicants applied for that unit this year that had max points so I can reassess whether I want to keep applying for that unit. Next stop Montana app, then CO.   Good luck on your hunt!

[Duckbutt]

Max points and no tag for me too.  I applied for limited draw archery tag with low odds.  Not too surprised but the odds should just keep gettin better for us!

[Dave Pagel]

We hunt up in the Jackson area and have since the late 80s.  The only issue we occasionally run into is G&F moving a deer season into the best part of the archery elk season.  We are going to try a bit earlier this year as a result.

[Wyoming Chief]

Backpacks, Bugling Bulls, Bows, Broadheads and my brother in the Hoback.  It doesn't get any better than that.  Back to the Treadclimber.

Hey Tom,
A few trips up the Bridle trail on the mountain is good for the elk hunting soul. Might be a little icy right now, though.
