I haven't heard of those podcasts or Steve Speck. I'll take a look now. Thanks!

I was in Bozeman a couple of years ago for my WY & MT deer hunt trip. Nice town and enjoyed my time there.

My trip plans have changed and I'm no longer going to ID to hunt, but just MT instead....

Ha! small world alright. I was there 1993-4. Awesome place and had a great time. Shame about the hunting. Would like to spend some time around Bend, but I have heard its change a bit over the last...

Are you hunting in WA this year Joe? BTW i went to Oregon State Uni, just south of you in Corvallis. Hope to get back to OR to hunt some day.

Just got results for Arizona and missed out on an elk tag. Utah results next, then I'll apply in New Mexico & Montana.

Anyone else applying in USA this year?

Great to hear about your trip - thanks! Looks like yellow jacket is slightly south of where i fly into. I've heard the elk numbers are low so not getting a elk tag and it would be a mission to sort...

No. In fact its easier for us to get a rifle into the US than for us to bring our own rifle back to NZ lol

They change each year but heres the dates for 2021 for rifle:
​Separate limited elk (1st season) ​Oct. 16-20
​Combined deer/elk (2nd season) Oct. 30-Nov. 7
Combined deer/elk ​(3rd season) Nov....

Not this trip :) you've missed out on getting an OTC Idaho tag that you need for where I'm going. But if you're serious its definitely doable but the real challenge now is drawing a good tag. Was...

No guide, I've done 5 North American trips and all DIY / hunt swaps.

Meat is eaten and left for friends. I have taxidermy done over there and shipped home, well until COVID stuffed up the...

I guess you can make it as expensive as you'd like but the only real difference compared to a non-hunting trip is the tags. You can get tags from anywhere from $US40 (Idaho bear) to $US4400 (Wyoming...

Flights - $2000 (to Bozeman, MT)
Tags - $2000 (Deer 2x, pronghorn, bear, lion, wolf)
Car - $1500
Other travel normal costs eg accommodation, insurance etc. I just hunt...

Good stuff. I'll probably go to WY too and visit a friend near Jackson Hole. Do you have preference / bonus points in MT or WY?

I agree, enjoy the USA more. Hunted Alberta which was cool but...

Rifle. I have hunted mule deer on the tops with my bow but was unsuccessful. Missed one at 40 yards twice :(

Yip, mountain lion. Cheap tags ($US40) and easy to get, so good to have one in my...

Last week I got my mule deer tag for Idaho, so unless COVID messes up my plans again, I'll be hunting central Idaho in the Frank Church Wilderness. Flying into the River Of No Return for a week to...
