Whose applying in the Draws this year?

I applied for MT big game combo. Had the WY deer and antelope all filled out with check decided not to send.

I have a point for MT combo. Also a point for MT antelope.

If I draw the combo there's no time for anything else, becouse it means 4 or five trips to MT.
.

I did the same on my WY Elk draw. I had everthing filled out but at the last minute my friend jumped ship on me.
If you hit on your MT combo, what part of the state will you be hunting?

I will hunt elk in the Little Belts S of Stanford, not the best but I know the country.

Mule deer will be in the Missouri Breaks. And on two private ranches in North Central Mt. How about you?

I'm not sure yet. I was planning on the Dillon area but the wolves and grizzlies have eaten up all the game. So if I hit on my combo tag I'll have to get busy trying to find alternate areas.

Ummmmm, just 3rd week rifle elk/deer in Colo. For some reason, the Navy doesn't give me enough time off or money to put in for more.

none of our draw have started yet.putting in for
preferance point for rifle elk
ragular draw for
archery elk
prairie deer
archery deer
black hills deer
antilope
mountain goat
all in S.D.

Just putting in for the instate tags this year. ???
Hoping to get the time to go chase the javelina's down south next year.

Desert bighorn, antelope, mule deer and elk. Colorado has it all. With luck might head to Texas to hunt predators and whitetails. :thumb

huntingal,
Have you hunted RM Bighorns yet? Good luck on your Desert draw.

Rocky Mountain Bighorns are high on the list, but those darn Desert Rams give me an itchy triger finger every time I see them. I've put in for one of the three avaliable tags for the last five years. It's strictly luck of the draw, no accumulating points to get one.

Colorado, Wyoming and kansas!!

I have yet to hunt those Sheep, BH or Desert. I'm hoping one of these years they'll draw my number. I started my daughter applying this year and my bride is trying as well.

Goose Jr., What part of Colorado & Wyoming will you be hunting, what species, if you hit on your tag?

Hiker,

In WY we are hunting around Medicine Bow for antelope.

In CO..I am hunting 2 areas this year east of SteamBoat Springs and NE of Walden.

What about you???

GHJ

GHJ,

This year in WY, NW of Buffalo.

Colorado, I put in for 1st season Bull Elk unit 214,4,441,&5.

I hope to also purchase a over the counter archery Elk tag.

4th Season Muley Buck....Western Slope!!! I'm still not telling TGWH!!!!

Pronghorn Buck Unit 135..

Sheep unit 10
Goat PP
Moose PP
Bear PP

I did it, after many days of back in forth, I put in for NM Ibex. They only issue 15 tags, so my odds are low.
What a beautiful animal.

How is unit 214? as far as number of animals.

The southern part of 214 is almost all private and the elk have been conditioned to migrate to the private as soon as any pressure hits the public. Those old cows, control the herds and generationally have done this.

I'll put in for elk and muley hunts for my own state and will also put in for a muley hunt for Oregon, where I have eight points.

Let's see....here's what I have put in for so far and what i will be putting in for:

CO- archery deer (will draw)
AZ- BP deer, archery elk, sheep, antelope
UT-archery paunsaguant (didn't draw)
OR-archery deer (Hart Mtn)
WY-Deer & elk Points
CA-archery deer (2 tags-will draw), Tule Elk, sheep, antelope

Good to see ya hiker.

Meathunter13, Great to see you on Muleymadness. :thumb

Glad to see you hit on that bear tag and hope you are blessed with a Moose tag too.

I've been thinking about that big cat, that you keep seeing. Do you think he would come to a Predator call? Another way to get him would to find a fresh kill that he has made and get set up above him and wait for him to come in. Do you know anyone in that area who has dogs, who would help you kill him? That would be another idea.

Thanks for the welcome hiker... Ive been keeping my eyes on this site for awhile. As always I find as much info as I can about hunting,tracking,scouting. Im 99% sure that cat made it through this winter. Ill know for sure very soon. Hes a brute reminds me of the lioness's in africa. I think he will come to a predator call, Ive been practicing alot, if not I know of his ambush water hole and can find some fresh kills. Yeah he was VERY agitated last year when I was checking out some muley bucks he had brought down. Hes got testy over my kills before too. I hear all the time that the cats have a 20+ mile range.. that must make him a hermit. He travels about 9 miles a day 2 miles from his bed to his hunting ground. and then another 3 to where he naps... and then about 4 miles back to his bed. Hes not nocturnal like he is suppose to be. He drops out of the same tree nearly every morning... sits by the waterhole and then naps on a ledge. Hes followed me MANY times especially after field dressing, and walking back at dusk, He loves to scream at me when I dont know hes there... not a very fun game in my book. Ive tolerated him for years, and him getting 30 yards from me... A DOW agent told me theyve had complaints by hikers about a large cat following them and he told me too shoot it if it gets closer than 100yards again. But then I think they will keep him. Dogs might be a good idea then I could take him with a bow, I need to meet some people with lion dogs. I have been thinking about a spot and stalk muzzeloader with a scope and 44 on my hip though. I had tags last year, but couldnt afford to get him mounted, I wont shoot a book cat unless I can mount him though. He did make it through hunting season.

Meathunter13,

You need to kill that cat while you have some deer left, otherwise you aren't going to have any deer to hunt. One good thing about having him around though is, he won't put up with any competition. Any young toms that move into his area, dies. Those Old Toms kill a lot of young cats, especially those young toms that momma just kicked out. It sounds as if he's lost his fear of man and if that is the case, you need to put him down, before he gets you or someone else.
Even if you can't afford to mount him, kill him, get him sealed by CDOW and skin him out and then freeze him until you can afford to do a full body mount. Most taxidermist take a year or so to get it finished anyway, so let them start and save up your cash. You are right about CDOW taking him, if you shoot him in self-defense but if you get a tag and wack him, he's yours. Let me know if you want me to come up and cover your backside when you try calling him in. We might even be able to video you getting him, that would be fun.

Here is what I have put in for.
WA. Multi season tag- Drew
UT. LE Elk- didn't draw
CO. Deer- Pts. only
ID. Elk,Deer,Antelope-Pending
AZ.Elk, Deer,Antelope, Desert Sheep-pending
WA. Elk,Deer,Moose, Sheep, Goat-pending
NM. lottery tickets for Elk on the VC
