Elk Hunt Recommendations

[Chew]

It's a comparatively easy hunt. More stand and waterhole hunting. No draw, it's expensive due to the guaranteed landowner tags

I've talked to him several times. I've heard from other TBHERS that have went.

After reading the website I'd have to avoid unless I called and talked to him. I can't stand the following rule (unless it's only there to reduce jackwagons LOL) But it sure would suck to wound a bull and him end the hunt early.

"•We enforce the wounded animal policy. If you draw blood, it’s yours. Remember to practice."

That rule is actually VERY common. Not to be argumentative, but I probably wouldn't hunt somewhere that didn't enforce this rule. It's not there to reduce jackwagons as much as it is to provide quality hunts.

We all know stuff happens. But at the end of the day you want the animal in the truck. If you wound a bull and it runs off and dies and then you kill another bull. It doesn't take long for quality opportunities to diminish considerably. I have seen the rule enforced at Folsom as well.

How did they do this year Chew?

I know hunting was extremely tough on some of the neighboring ranches this past Sept. They just didn't see many elk....and when they did they were in a big herd and didn't stick around for long.

To the OP....can your Dad climb a tree stand without issues? Muzzleloader will be a very difficult tag to draw so I would say an archery waterhole/tree stand hunt would be his best bet. Milligan Brand outfitters offers these and I know that some TBH guys go there every year and have success.

I talked to him at the end of archery. They were 100% on opportunities and I think 5 out of 6 took one home. A couple hosses and several solid bulls.

Awesome! Thanks guys, I'll let you know what we end up with, and hopefully do a live hunt when we go.
