Well I found out the other day that I got drawn to go elk hunting this fall for the sixth year in a row. I got shut out on antelope, oryx and special deer though. I'm ready to go right now.

Do you all have hunting draws in your area ? If so any success?

 

We have few to no elk here in NY but truck loads of deer. Can i go with you???. There is over 1.2 million deer in NYS

 

Our camp sends in 6 applications every year for moose.
in the last 10 years we've gotten 3 tags for Adult Moose.
Oh well.. my theory is that if you get a tag, they expect you to actually hunt!
Besides, there are alot of cheaper ways to fill a freezer than to hunt for it!

 

here in colorado you have to draw for deer and cow elk, we have so many elk however if you get a draw for a cow elk you can still go buy a bull elk tag over the counter. i got both my cow and buck deer draw. so this year, if i get real lucky i will bring home a nice bull, a cow, and a nice buck....yea right

 

I've been applying for the elk draw since I was old enough, still haven't pulled one. Got a Turkey tag about 5 years ago, haven't been lucky enough to get a bear tag either. Deer are plentiful in MI, so I try to take it out on them, he he. It hasn't been going my way for a couple years now though. I need eyes in the back of my head.

AZ big game results will be out July 23rd... Can't wait.

 

Idaho draw results are on July 10th. Got a big bull tied up north of Notellum Creek waiting for me.

 

In Utah the anterless draw results will be in on the 29th, >GoinFishin< that must be up near notelly hill.

 

Just like wlihntr, I drew a buck tag and a cow tag and will buy a bull tag. Just like wlihntr I too expect to bag one of each......ha. My wife and kid each drew a cow, but no buck.

Wlihntr, where do you hunt? I am in unit 68, same since '73 or so.

 

in area 24 mostley and some in 23 about 60 miles south of graig near lake avery. we have been there for about 10 years before that we were up on dunkley pass(area 231) but they opened a bunch of area around dunkley flat tops to logging and the hunting went to heck

 

I threw in for everything but sheep, bear, cougar, and Merriam's turkey.

Hopefully I get drawn for everything, but at least something. Should find out in a month or so.

Gotta put the new FTE approved rifle/scope/bipod combo to work.
