Colorado DIY Archery OTC


7-10 days


Probably 10%, first archery, first elk, first backcountry. Even if I don?t fill my tag I will learn a lot.

 

[IdahoD]

Hunting idaho archery season probably between 8 to 12 days. Mostly weekends but I'll extend the weekends as much as I can, especially if we get into them over the weekend. May have some friends coming in from out of state so I'll burn some additional vacation time to help them out as much as possible. 20% chance of killing a bull. 100% chance of sore legs, sweat, dirt, and fun.

1) What state(s) are you hunting this year? Colorado for Elk/Deer, WI for Whitetail2) How many days are you hunting? Between 20-30 depending on success. 3) What percentage chance would you give yourself in filling your tag? Depends on the tag. Archery Elk i'm at 0/5 so hopefully this will be the year. Cow elk about 80%, Deer 99%, Whitetail in WI 100%.

 

[BuckyHunter13]

Colorado for elk, WI for whitetail


13 days for elk... 35-50 for whitetail


25% for elk, 50% for whitetail buck


Love the confidence in all these posts but the OTC success rates are <10% for a reason. It?s hard. With every knowledge advantage possible, not only from Elk University but also including knowledge of the specific areas and how elk use it given weather/hunting pressure/water/moon/temps, there are still SO MANY variables that can derail a hunt in an instant. This will be my 4th trip out and I damn sure expect to finally close the deal after countless close calls and a healthy dose of education from some wily public land bulls, but I still wouldn?t put my odds higher than 25%, though maybe it?s more like 25% going on 100. No matter what, a couple weeks in the elk woods beats a couple weeks anywhere else.

This year I will be hunting in New Mexico. I'll be helping out a good friend who drew an elk tag in a decent area. We will be doing a backpack style hunt for at least 7 days in the Jemez mountains! I'd give us a 30% chance of harvesting this year.

 

[Jspitlerhunt@outlook.com]

Michigan7 days for fall bear (minimum), probably 20+ for deer. Bear, first time hunting them, maybe 25%. Deer probably 75%.

 

[bashdown]

1) Idaho


2) Hunting 5 days


3) this is our first archery bull elk tag but have been hunting cow in this area for a few years. Gotten into some bulls before, so we are hoping for above the 10% average and have at least a 25% chance!

 

[Mmjohnson403]

I'm from Alberta Canada but I also drew a Montana tag so I will be hunting both this year I would say about 80% chance with the 40ish days I put in every year
