We had 2 styles of camps for our archery elk trip. Started off backpacker style

Then moved to a quick attack style, easy set up ice shack. Which actually worked really well.

Judy, the old lady, had a rough go at a barbwire fence. Here she is, clearly annoyed with me conceding that a vet was necessary. There's a much bigger gash on her chest that is also stitched up. But she never stopped hunting and we nearly had our public land quail limit!
Oddly, her sister Sam hit the same fence at the same time and didn't have a scratch.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c1761d0ae.jpg
Hope Judy gets some extra kibble and tummy rubs.
Sounds familiar though, this guy will bust through brush so hard that he’ll come back bleeding. It always surprises me how hard he’ll go.

Griffs are splendid beasts

Hiked my tits off today for 3 redlegs. Dogs were perfect...didn't bump any birds and held points for days. The birds, however, were less than cooperative and busting at 50 yards.
Fuckin' bandits.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...667097e234.jpg
Probably time for a new thread, just came to say I got an email notifying me that I drew a Colorado elk tag. Let the preparation begin.

I’m hoping for a late season cow elk tag in the draw.
I am with you - I put in for a Wyoming antelope tag but after driving from Rock Springs to Hoback and seeing all the dead antelope, there is no way I would feel comfortable hunting them. It was staggering - hundreds of them.Quote:

I have access to a property in a southern unit where my general tag becomes a short range either-sex tag and I might just shoot a fat, cornfed doe with a slug gun, harvest the meat, and not feel guilty about pressuring our haggard population up here.

ZZZ did you draw one from "our" unit that's now three units? I'm on my last year of dedicated for it (they let us keep it as a big unit) and I'm a little concerned about this year. We'll see what archery season shows. Nothing else for me, OTC elk and probably one of the new archery season cow hunts on the Wasatch.
Yeah, I’ll call the DWR and figure out the best plan. If there’s a way I can turn it in and get my point back and it doesn’t get re-released, I’ll do that. If not, I’ll eat it.Quote:

I guess I'm gonna spend some time in the Breaks as I got one of the Archery Only Either Sex tags. Stupidly I didn't realize this tag meant I can only hunt archery there, but I think I can spend 5 or 6 days there during the 2nd/3rd week in Sept and hopefully hit the rut at a pretty good time.
Anyone going to Big Sky TAC at the end of the month?
