How many different states have you elk hunted in?
Did you hunt each one different or the same?
What types of things to you look into before you travel to this new state?
What I mean by that is, let\'s say you\'re a caller, do you go right into a different state and just start calling?
Or do...
In your area, when will the deer start dropping their sheds?
I believe where I hunt in OK, they should start dropping their headgear around the end of March!
I cannot wait to go see what I can find :D My dogs are itching for a good shed hunting season too.
Around what times do you find calves starting to drop?
Do they close areas down during that time or recommend you not go hiking in certain areas?
We have a few WMAs that they don\'t let people access during \"calving periods.\"
During this hunting season, 8 of my 9 days I had bull and cow encounters.
They were anywhere from 0630-1000 & 1545-2000.
With this being said, do you have areas that you will sit at mid day during the early season? (Over water? Right near the elk you put to bed? etc?)
Or do you prefer to pull...
I was sitting over a food plot and a coyote came in, cut out in front of me to the other side of the plot (70 yards), pissed, and then started \"moon walking.\" Moon walking was the best way I could describe it because he sat in place and just pushed back dirt with all of this legs.(one leg at a...
What is the longest shot, shortest shot, and your average for elk kills?
Doesn\'t matter what weapon.
My shortest shot was 19 yards with a bow
My longest shot was 40 yards with a bow
My average is 29.5 yards.
When in your elk hunting career did you become \"hooked\"?
Was it a specific event that made you get hooked?
Or did it kick in after a few hunts?
When did that super awesome feeling take over that made you say, \"WOW, I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS!!!\"
So I\'ve hunted two seasons now and they were both early season. The majority of it was late summer patterns with a transition into the pre rut phase.
In this time I noticed that I was able to get into certain bulls easier. Basically ones that I had been keeping tabs on all summer.
So it...

Does anyone do anything special with their elk hides?
Do you make things with them? Sell them? Leave them in the woods?
Someone told me they make fishing lures out of it, I thought that was pretty neat.
:?: :?: :?:
For those of you who conceal carry, what do you guys typically carry?
I am a revolver freak, so I have two go to carry pieces.
One is my smith and wesson .38 snub nose with PP ammo and then my other is a snub nose .357 with PP ammo
I\'d like to take my wife elk shed hunting this year.
We usually just go to Oklahoma to shed hunt for whitetails, but we want to go after some mule deer and elk sheds this year. :upthumb:
So when do they usually drop in your area?
This isn\'t a shame thread and don\'t feel like this is a handout thread, but some years we have it tough and other years we do alright.
Well I am doing alright this year and I just wanted to see if anyone else could use a hand.
Do you have enough gifts for your kids?
For your loved one?
Etc...
With the warmer weather this year, I am still out and about chasing whitetail and I won\'t give up until the fat lady sings!
I am going to hunt while I am home in Massachusetts and I am planning 2 more sits in Oklahoma before the end of the season. (Jan 15th)
Good luck to everyone else out...
