Thanks Randy and Gohunt. I like how he broke down seasons for each category per state. That really helps and opens my eyes a little more. Now time for one covering Pronghorn hunts. My goal is to hunt them in every state that I can DIY style.
Being new to hunting (2 years) and living in TN, all this information makes my brain hurt. I am sure once I get into Insider it will all clear up some.
i felt the same way, wasn't until i committed to an elk hunt in Sept that it started to come together. I put in for Wyoming, if i dont draw then i'm going to get an OTC tag in CO
If all you're concerned with is hunting every year, Oregon is an option. If you want to see or kill elk, not so much. But you can hunt unsuccessfully every year!
NV short-term seems to mostly be dumb luck for both residents and non-residents. I got extremely lucky and drew a resident rifle bull tag last year with only 1 point. With a 7 year wait now, I really appreciate the information as I'll be looking to go out of state in the near future. Thanks, Randy.
Thanks Randy....nice to have someone break it down cause it can get frickin confusing when you look at new states!! I am thinking a few years out as my $$ situation should allow it by then!
I wonder when their going to start adding states where elk are being reintroduced like Kentucky and Michigan? It would help back off the pressure that the animals face in the western states as well and might even lower non-resident tags but my first choice is Colorado since I'll be moving there and will be a resident so my odds would be different.
Question: If you are working towards a long term plan in any of the points systems and you draw a mid-term unit or a short term unit, you will likely lose your points and have to start over towards the long term hunt....correct? I know here in UT if you buy a leftover LE tag (which there aren't ever any) or a 2nd choice hunt you forfeit all your accrued points. So, a person would have to draw a mid-term plan hunt as their second choice in a state that does not take your points away for doing so.
you can just move to Alberta Canada and hunt elk every year with an oc tag for 40.00, I'll be your hunting partner Randy, all my tags together cost me @ 230.00 inc. wt, mulie, elk, and archery moose
Much appreciated Randy and Team!!! I am a sub of GoHunt & Randy Newberg (and others) in an effort to learn as much as possible and try to put notes together and all that. I'm hopeful that one day I'll be able to go west. I'm a "meat" hunter and would be more than blessed to harvest a cow. I've had the opportunity to try elk for the first time. I grilled it and WOW, very flavorful. I am used to whitetail here in my state of VA but elk is riffriggindiculous!! If you don't mind me askin. When applying for a state for elk, is there anything (categories, season's) that would up my odds to draw for even an elk tag? Or are OTC (Do I actually need to be physically there to purchase) the way to go. Jus tryin to figure it out. Always appreciated sir. Have a great wknd.
Sorry. My mistake. "When applying for a state for elk, is there anything (categories, season's) that would up my odds to draw for even an elk tag? " I meant to say cow tag not elk. Thank you.
@@VAHunter20120 Hey Scott! Good question. If you want to check out your odds for drawing a Cow Elk tag in CO, just go to the INSIDER section of goHUNT, click on Draw Odds, and then you can take a look at Cow Elk hunts and see the odds. As a member, you probably already know that we have the most accurate draw odds out there, and you can check out antlerless hunts in any state through the Draw Odds system. If you have any other questions please drop us a line at insider@gohunt.com
Or marry a girl from the mountain west so it's an easy sell. My wife goes and visits family in Utah or Idaho while I go hunting. It works out pretty well.
Love to see the same breakdown for Mule Deer
The beautiful handwriting of Randy Newberg

Hey Randy please do a chart on mule deer hunting of the states

Thanks for taking the time to throw this together for us!
Love the first part about every hunt you learn something quote. Fred Eichler said that every hunt is a success. Just depends on your perspective
If all you're concerned with is hunting every year, Oregon is an option. If you want to see or kill elk, not so much. But you can hunt unsuccessfully every year!

Other than otc, you’ll need to to add b/w 4-10 years to each of these (if you’re just starting out)
Thanks, already planing on OTC CO, then to WY or MT
Thanks Randy....nice to have someone break it down cause it can get frickin confusing when you look at new states!! I am thinking a few years out as my $$ situation should allow it by then!
Ok. So, I have a question. What's the difference between bonus points and preference points?
Like they say read the writing on the wall well, Randy’s got it right there on the wall 👊🏻😎
Thanks for the info!
Well done as usual.

And we wonder why point creep is so bad

What states offer Elk hunting starting in August?
I love having all this info! No reason to be incompetent now adays!
Awesome
Thanks for watching!

Why no Washington state info?
Low draw odds and expensive for non residents.
Don’t come to Idaho, the wolves ate all the elk and there’s a grizzly bear behind every tree 😂
How to go on a hunt every year: work for Randy
🙌🙌
I know the secret.... don't get married
Absolutely! 😆

If you're tired of seeing tons of pickups, guys, and camps while hunting, thank this guy. Anything for a buck.....as in dinero.
This is a bunch of nonsense! Win the lottery and buy your hunts like these guys!
